Gluey Love Between Us

Chapter 2319

Henrick tut-tutted. "Excusez-moi, I'm doing just fine, thanks. What 'big things' can happen to moi?" He'd formally confirmed his relationship with Alice and they are now an official couple. All bad things would become good things.

"I'm not lying, I swear to God. Hurry up and go on the internet," Giada said, worry underlined her words.

Henrick didn't even need to search anything to know what had happened.

"Fine, I got it. I'll browse the internet in a minute." Henrick hung up the phone.

Alice, who was next to him, had already picked up his phone to have a look.

She saw people commenting on him for being hypocritical. He had a wife and a child but was still trying to market himself here and there.

The replies were: "BUMMER ALERT: I've been his fan for so many years, but he betrayed us. I'm starting to think less of him!"

"So am I. This circle is really too chaotic. They're just two-faced people pretending to be who they are not. No act is too absurd for them. For years he's been the Ultimate Guy for me."

"I've liked him for so many years, I even stuck his pictures on my pillow. I loved him like he was my husband. In the end, he has a wife and a child."

"You guys are so freaking dumb. Y'all think a thief would go around parading himself as a thief? *in tears*!"

"Hello, what are you people sour grape-ing about? What does it have to do with you humans? He's just living his own life, keeping his wife and children off the record. Is there a need for mean

comments like this? Everyone has their own privacy. You all have a really terrifying mindset."

All kinds of words were extremely unpleasant to the ear.

However, there were also some fans who were speaking up for Henrick.

Apprehensive, Alice looked at Henrick and said, "Henrick, don't go on the internet."

She had always been worried about this problem, but now it finally happened.

He was an artist, a public figure. Once he was exposed, his opponents would all come up with their very own version of "shocking exposé", and all kinds of negative news would follow. She had also dabbled in this circle, so she knew very well how complicated the situation was.

Henrick smiled and took out his phone in front of her. He clicked on it and found that all the trending messages had his names.

As soon as he picked a random one, he saw all kinds of insults.

He smiled and shoved his phone nonchalantly into his trouser pocket.

Looking at Alice, who was worried, he said, "Allie, even if I face the risk of being blacklisted by the entertainment industry in the future, I will still make our relationship public and give our children a legitimate identity. It's not shameful for us to be together and have children. Don't think too much about it."

He was afraid that she would be worried and would lie sleepless when she went back tonight.

And he himself didn't care about this kind of thing.

Although he was a public figure, he had to have his own private life.

"Henrick, are you really okay? I really don't want to drag you down, and I don't want something like this to happen to you. Don't forget that I'm also your fan. If my fans who have been supporting me for more than ten years suddenly turn on me like this, I'll feel crushed too." Alice looked at him deeply.

But the man was smiling. His eyes were particularly bright, and his smile was gentle. There was no trace of sadness at all.

"I've always known that you're my fan..." Henrick beamed and took her hand to send her back.

As the night fell, Henrick was in a better mood.

"Allie, you don't have to worry about me. I really don't care about these comments, and I don't care what the outsiders think of me. If I'm too invested in what others think of me, I will be exhausted."

He had never cared about other people's opinions over the years, whether it was good or bad.

What he cared about was to finish this journey happily while pursuing his dreams.

Alice thought it made sense. He pursued his dream and achieved the life he wanted. He wanted to be happy and live his own life.

If he really cared about other people's thoughts, he would spend his days in pain.

She stopped and looked at Henrick, but there was still sadness in her eyes. "Henrick, yes, as long as I don't care, I won't be hurt."

"Aha! You finally understand me. Although I have been pursuing my dreams these years, I am actually very happy on this journey. No matter how others scold or slander me, as long as I do what I should, the truth will always be on our side."

It was bold-faced of him to say such words in front of her, but this was indeed what he had been doing all these years.

"I know. Don't worry. I'll sleep well when I get home. You don't have to worry about me."

Alice was in a much better mood than before.

Henrick thought about it. In fact, he'd wanted to tell her about it during the day. What happened this night gave him a reason to do so.

"Alice, let's announce our relationship and tell others about the children. They have a father, and they will never be scolded as out-of-wedlock children again."

At this point, a pained look flashed across Henrick's eyes. It was a scar that he had never been willing to uncover since he was a child.

He stared deeply at Alice, and his eyes were as dark as the night sky. "Allie, do you know what it feels like? It's just like in hell, where people have their hearts hooked with iron hooks. It's gut- wrenching, but also helpless because it's true that they don't have a father."

"When I was young, I personally experienced such pain." Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org exclusive © material.

"When I knew that you gave birth to two children for me, I was going to look for you that night. I happened to hear that Alma was going to plot against me, so I stayed all night and didn't come to you until the next morning."

It was the first time that Alice had heard him broach the subject of Alma. She had never asked him how Alma turned out in the end.

But it seemed that she was fine. If it wasn't enough, she came to Lemmon Ctiy to destroy her.

Henrick seemed to have seen through what she was thinking. He smiled gently and said, "Allie, it's like this: That night, Alma wanted to repeat her old trick as she did seven years ago—"

Henrick told Alice what happened that night.

Hearing this, Alice was agape. She had to doff her hat to the viciousness of the Alwynn family.

He'd actually returned evil with evil, the principle of lex talionis.

However, Alma was not worthy of sympathy.

Alice felt relieved even as she heard that.

However, on second thought, if it hadn't been for what had happened seven years ago, she and Henrick wouldn't have had this day.

"Allie, my request might be a little excessive, but I won't announce it now. I'll wait until you agree to marry me." Henrick looked, his eyes tender. There was a ghost of a smile on his perfect and flawless face, which was more gentle than the bright night.

"Okay! You'll deal with everything." Alice had no objection. Since they had chosen to be together, they had to think about one too many things in the long run.

"Thank you, Allie!"

By the time Henrick sent Alice home, their daughter had already fallen asleep. After saying good night to Alice, he went home.

Out of the door of Alice's house, he looked back and found that the lights in the living room on the second floor were still on. He was wondering when he could be accompanied by her in the night.
