Chapter 2271
Marlon said with a smile, "Mom, it's like that in TV series."
"You and Dad haven't reached the stage where everything is natural yet. You went out for dinner and went shopping together. Isn't that a date?"
Alice was speechless. Sure enough, children who had grown up with technology were more mature.
Henrick picked up his daughter and said with a smile, "Juliet, your mother and I have discussed that we will take you and Marlon to the amusement park tomorrow. We will go to the amusement park first, then, in the afternoon, we will go to the beach. We will stay there for one night and come back the day after tomorrow."
"Wow!" Juliet hugged her father's neck tightly happily.
Her voice was choked with sobs. "Dad, that's great. I used to see other children being brought to the amusement park by their parents, and I envied them very much. Now, my own parents are taking me there. I'm so happy."
Hearing this, Alice felt nothing but guilt and heartache.
She could see the children's thoughts, but she couldn't fulfill their wishes. She couldn't say anything about their father.
Now that Henrick had appeared, this wish would soon be fulfilled.
Henrick also hugged his daughter tightly. He was late and had missed the children growing up.
"Baby, I will never leave you again. Where do you want to go? I will take you with me."
"Okay, I'll hold you to your word." Juliet pinky-promised with her father and kissed his face.
She started to giggle again.
Then, she looked at Alice and said, "Mom, if we can be together, we will be very happy."
Alice's heart skipped a beat. She had tried her best to make the children happy.
However, what was missing was a father's love. No matter how hard she tried, it would not be enough.
"What about me?" Marlon pouted.
His mother hadn't agreed to him pursuing his dream yet, but neither did she say no.
Alice looked at him and said with a smile, "I promise you that I'll let you pursue your dream, but you have to promise me that you will continue going to school while pursuing your dream."
Marlon was so excited that his eyes turned red. "Mom, do you really agree to let me go?"
Alice walked over, squatted down, and held him in his arms. "Fool, you have your own dreams at such a young age, and I can't be more excited for you. However, during this time, you will have very little free time, and your childhood days will be very busy. Even so, are you willing to do it?"
Marlon nodded heavily.
"Mom, wasn't Dad like this when he was a child? He was busy acting and going to school. Dad's results were also very good. Uncle was also in an elite school. Mom, I want to learn from them. Dad is my role model." Marlon looked at Henrick and smiled.
Deep in Henrick's heart, a strong sense of happiness welled up. He wanted to devote all of his love to his children.
"Boy, when I was a child, I was very busy because of my poor family. Do you know how heavy that burden was?" At that time, he really didn't want to see his mother working so hard. Now that he thought about it, he didn't regret his decision at that time.
Marlon shook his head and said, "Dad, although I don't know how much burden you have to bear, you were also very excellent under the pressure. I have no burdens at all, so I must be better than you."
Marlon's bright eyes were full of confidence and firmness.
Now that he had a father and a mother, the family of four would be together. All his worries would be solved. All he needed to do was to work hard.
It was written, "As long as you are willing to work hard, there is nothing you can't do."
Henrick and Alice looked at each other.
Henrick smiled at her gently. Alice glanced at him indifferently and then looked away.
They had to go out the next day, so they had to sleep early. Henrick did not disturb them anymore. After the children went upstairs, he looked at Alice.
When the two of them were alone, Alice always felt very nervous. She lowered her head and did not dare to look at Henrick.
Henrick walked over and stopped a step away from her.
Suddenly covered by a shadow, Alice looked up at him sharply.
Henrick took the opportunity to lower his head and kiss her red lips. Then, he immediately jumped away.
Alice was speechless.
Henrick said, "Allie, I love you. Good night!"
After that, he turned around and ran away, afraid that Alice would chase him and hit him.
Alice was speechless. That man is so shameless.
Was his love for her sincere?
There seemed to be his lingering warmth and his cold breath on her lips.
She suddenly smiled. She really couldn't bring herself to hate this guy since she was a child.
On the stairs, the two little children poked their heads out and saw their mother standing there with a silly smile on her face.
Marlon couldn't help but smile. "Juliet, our family will soon be reunited."
"Ah... Marlon, is it true? I really like Dad. He looks stupid, but he is also handsome and has a nice voice."
Marlon looked at his sister, who was deep in thought, with a frown. "Is Dad stupid?"
Juliet responded, "Marlon, isn't he? He has been here for several days, but he still can't get Mom."
"Husbands and wives sleep in the same room. Look, they are now living in two separate houses. I think Dad's still a long way off from pursuing his wife."
Marlon gently tapped his sister's head and said, "Silly girl, with us helping him, are you afraid that Mom won't agree to be with Dad?"
"I'm going to River City, so I'll leave these things to you." This material belongs to NôvelDrama.Org.
Juliet looked at her brother with disdain. "Hmph! You have a dream, but what about me?"
Marlon smiled cunningly and asked, "Juliet, what's your dream?"
Juliet replied, "I haven't decided yet."
Marlon said, "I knew it would be like this. Go to sleep. Don't disturb Mom's happiness. Dad kissed her. Mom is in a daze for the time being."
"Oh, oh!" Juliet took a gentle step back.
The siblings went back to their rooms to rest.
Alice stood in the living room alone for a long time before she went to take a shower and rest in a good mood.
That night, Alice slept very well. However, all night, she had a dream. In her dream, it was the scene of Henrick kissing her, as well as his gentle smile and voice.
It was not until she opened her eyes and saw the first rays of sunlight shining through the window that her dream came to an abrupt end.
Alice moved her hands and feet. She felt so weak that she couldn't muster any strength.
Alice frowned, feeling uncomfortable and excited. Her whole body was full of joy, but she was not in a good mood. She had been dreaming when she was asleep. After waking up from the dream, she felt sore all over. It was not the first time that such a thing had happened to her. Recently, she felt so tired after seeing Henrick.
