Second Marriage

Chapter 512 Ruthlessness

When they finished feeding the cats downstairs, the mother cat rubbed Alice's palm very affectionately.

She probably knew she was dirty, so she didn't dare to rub other places.

When Jack reached out to touch her, she didn't show any resistance, letting Jack stroke her head.

"Mummy, the big cat is so good, the kittens are so pitiful. Let's keep them."

Alice thought the same way, so she nodded, "Okay, let's keep them. But it's too late today, we have to

wait to tomorrow. Let's take a box and take all the kittens to the pet hospital to have a check tomorrow,

and then take them home."

"OK."

Soon, they went upstairs, and the cat crawled back into grass.

After returning upstairs, Yanis had already prepared dinner, so the four of them gathered to eat

together.

The atmosphere during the meal was a bit gloomy. Yanis' relationship with Zain made her very

concerned, so she didn't dare to look up at Zain at all. She always felt that she could see his lips when

she raised her head, and even imagined the softness of his lips.

Thinking of this, Yanis had to keep her head down and eating, and by the way, cast aside herself.

The embarrassing situation between Alice and Zain was probably due to Kennedy.

Because of the previous events, she felt that there might be an estrangement between her and Zain.

Therefore, she felt uneasy while eating.

Zain, on the contrary, was very calm.

He tasted one dish and found it good.

Then, he tried another one, and it seemed to be delicious too.

So he and Jack shared with each other. Alice and Yanis looked at each other.

After a meal, Alice thought that the estrangement between her and Zain should disappear.

"I'm going to wash the dishes." When Alice was full, she got up to tidy up. Yanis also quickly helped

her. They tidied up table together and went into the kitchen.

As soon as Alice brought things into the kitchen, the phone in her pocket vibrated.

She put down the plates and washed her hands, then took out her phone and took a look.

Alice found out that it was a message from Kennedy.

The message he sent was a pitiful expression, followed by a sentence.

{Are you not free yet? }

When Alice read it, she was stunned for a moment, and then she reacted. She seemed to tell him that

she would deliver dinner to him if she was free.

But now...

Alice glanced at the time, and it was already around eight o'clock in the evening.

Had he not eaten yet?

Thinking of this, Alice replied.

{I don't have time yet, haven't you eaten dinner yet? }

After asking, Alice was just about to put her phone down, but Kennedy sent another message soon.

{Not yet, when will you come? }

Seeing these words, Alice's heart instantly softened.

Everyone had had dinner, but Kennedy was still waiting for her.

If she didn't go, was she too cruel?

But……

After thinking about it, Alice felt that this was Kennedy's trick again.

During these days, he had always relied on his own injuries to pretend to be pitiful. There were certain

things he could do on his own, but he just didn't do it and wanted to rely on her.

It's the same now. Now that she had decided to leave, she should be cruel, and shouldn't be deceived

by him in a few words. Thinking of this, Alice replied.

{I don't have time yet, you can have dinner by yourself. }

After speaking, Alice directly turned the phone into silent mode, then put it back in her pocket,

determined not to read any messages sent by Kennedy.

"What's the matter?" Yanis asked with a smile.

Her smile was so glaring. Alice ignored her directly, rolled up her sleeves and turned on the faucet to

wash the dishes. Seeing Yanis still leaning on the side and laughing narrowly, Alice sneered, "Stop

laughing, or I will throw you in front of my brother and let him see how detestable your look is now."

As soon as Zain was mentioned, the smug smile and expression on Yanis' face disappeared. She

pursed her lips and complained to Alice with dissatisfaction, "Alice, you are so bad, don't keep bullying

me with your brother."

"Oh? When did I bully you?" Alice raised her eyebrows, "Obviously you are afraid of him, and you have

done things that make you guilty... were you be so afraid of him before?"

When mentioning this, Yanis snorted and helped Alice wash the dishes depressedly.

After a while, Yanis couldn't help but ask curiously.

"Just... Kennedy was sending you a message, right? It's so late, why did he send you a message? Is

he asking you to the hospital again?"

After all, Alice had been running to the hospital recently, and she hadn't go to hospital today.

Alice nodded, "Yeah, but his injury is almost healed. I should leave."

"You've been taking care of him for so long. Can he get used to your sudden departure?" Yanis' words

made Alice stop her movements. And then she frowned, "Even if he is not used to it, what does it have

to do with me?"

"Oh." Yanis responded, and then smiled, "So you won't go out tonight?" Content bel0ngs to Nôvel(D)r/a/ma.Org.

"No." Alice answered, "There are many people around him who can take care of him. My careful care

for him these days has fully expressed my gratitude to him."

Yanis stopped talking when she found what Alice meant was that her responsibilities had been fulfilled.

They cleaned everything up and left the kitchen together.

Alice went upstairs to take a bath and rest, leaving Yanis, Jack and Zain in the living room downstairs.

In order to keep herself busy, Alice also deliberately washed her hair.

It was just that when the water spilled from her head to wet her whole body, all Alice thought about was

Kennedy's injury, he was lying in the ward, and looked at her sadly.

Alice thought that she was probably out of her mind that she had such thoughts.

She shook her head, threw off these thoughts directly, and then applied shampoo.

By the time she came out of the bathroom, it was almost an hour later.

Alice glanced at the clock on the wall unconsciously, it was already half past nine.

He shouldn't be waiting for her anymore, right?

For some reason, Alice dried her hair in guilty. Then she sat in front of the makeup table with skin care

products, with the quiet phone in front of her.

She bit her lower lip, and finally she didn't get the phone.

Regardless of him, since she had already decided anyway, she shouldn't care what he was doing.

As soon as the time came, he would still call someone else to help him.

Well, that's it.

Jack came and opened the door, rubbing his eyes, "Mommy, I'm sleepy."

Alice squeezed his cheek, "Did you take a bath? If you finish the bath, brush your teeth and go to bed."

"Okay, then I'm going to brush my teeth. Mommy, good night~"
