Chapter 2267
Henrick looked at Alice and smiled gently. "There's nothing that can be done. My Allie is cute and capable, gentle and virtuous. It's hard not to spoil her. I want to give her the best."
Alice was speechless. Haha, just keep bragging. She was afraid that his face would hurt from all the nonsense he was spouting.
Moreover, was it really good for him to be so shameless?
'My Allie', hehe... It did sound very nice.
"Wow!" Michelle looked at Alice enviously, but she was extremely jealous in her heart. She should have come back early. Compared with Alice, she felt that she was way more beautiful.
Alice was no one special, and her character was a little strange.
Alice kept a faint smile on her face and didn't say a word.
The girls around them did not give up and kept looking for opportunities to talk to Henrick.
They didn't stop until the dishes were served.
Henrick didn't bother talking to anyone. Seeing Alice's favorite beef, he picked up two pieces of it and put them onto her plate. Then, he filled a bowl of chicken soup for her.
"Alice, drink some soup to warm your stomach first. Josue will come back soon." His tone was very gentle and his movements were very elegant. Property © NôvelDrama.Org.
"Okay!" Alice nodded and lowered her head to drink the soup. She didn't have a stomachache. She just wanted to find an excuse to leave.
She usually didn't spend much time with these people. People who lived in this society, unless they were really rich, would bear great pressure. They would also be oppressed in various ways. When they had time to have fun, they would naturally bully those who were weaker than them.
After all these years of work, she had seen many people like them. No matter how glamorous they looked on the surface, their hearts were not filled with good intentions.
For example, Belinda, who was sitting next to her, was from an ordinary family, but she still tried to squeeze into the upper class circle.
After graduating from college, she didn't find a proper job. Instead, she spent all day with these upstarts or rich second generations.
As the saying went, "It's better to marry well than to suffer!"
Belinda basically had such an attitude.
Not long after, Josue returned with a box of medicine in his hand.
"Mr. Henrick, the medicine."
Henrick took the medicine and poured a cup of warm water. Then, he opened the medicine box, looked at the instructions, and took out two pills before looking at Alice.
Alice felt like she had shot herself in the foot.
Her stomach didn't hurt, so why should she take medicine?
Henrick, the nosy b*stard, if he didn't call out to her, she would probably be home, having a hot meal by now.
Alice slowly reached for the medicine in his hand.
Unexpectedly, she heard Henrick's intoxicating voice. "Allie, open your mouth?"
Alice was lost for words. She stared at him and thought, "Are you done yet?"
It was easy to get too involved in the act.
"Be good, open your mouth," Henrick said softly. He doted on her and her heart felt numb.
Alice opened her mouth gently as if she had been bewitched. Henrick gently put the medicine into her mouth and handed her the water.
Alice thought, "Just eat it. Anyway, it can't kill you. Isn't it just two pills for a stomach ache?"
The dishes on the table were much lighter than before, and she suddenly had an appetite.
As for the others, because their focus was on Henrick, they did not notice that he had asked the manager to serve the dishes that he and Alice liked.
After Alice took the medicine, Henrick served her some more dishes. It was mashed potatoes, and it looked delicious.
Alice had no choice but to eat it, but it was also her favorite.
She had to admit that Henrick was very careful about these things. Suddenly, she remembered what her son had said. Henrick was sincere in the way he treated her.
Looking at Alice's lovely and well-behaved appearance, Henrick felt so good that he wanted to stop time at this moment.
"Alice, does your stomach feel better?" He asked in a low voice. The private room was neither too big nor too small, so everyone could hear his voice.
Alice nodded slightly and ate the food on her plate little by little.
Michelle looked at Alice's face which had her usual expression. She was afraid that Alice did not have a stomachache, but it was that she didn't want Michelle to get to know Henrick.
Thinking of this, she also felt uncomfortable.
"Mr. Henrick, did you and Alice meet from a TV series?" Michelle wanted to know how they got to know each other.
Henrick smiled and looked at Alice beside him.
Alice was also nervous. She was afraid of Michelle's question. Although she and Henrick had known each other since they were young, they had only met a few times. Moreover, a lot of things had happened between them.
Henrick smiled apologetically at Michelle. "Sorry, I don't want to share my beautiful memories of Allie with others."
Alice looked up at him sharply. She didn't hear him wrong. He had said 'beautiful memories'.
Henrick had probably forgotten to take his medicine when he went out that day.
Michelle was speechless. She felt like she wasn't able to find out anything from them.
She smiled with some difficulty. "Mr. Henrick, you're really infatuated."
"Of course. Allie is so good that I just want to spoil her." Henrick smiled brightly, but everyone listened to his words seriously.
The men and women at the table were lost in their thoughts and almost couldn't come out.
When Alice saw everyone in a daze, she couldn't help but be amazed. This b*stard was really able to charm everyone.
When everyone came to their senses, they all flushed with embarrassment.
Only Alice's expression was the same as ever.
Only then did Alice realize that she could face Henrick calmly.
In addition to shyness, she rarely felt heartache during this period of time.
Alice was in a better mood when she suddenly came to an understanding.
She started to enjoy the food more. After she ate a piece of beef, Michelle looked at her and said, "Alice, don't just focus on eating. Let's have a drink."
Alice thought of the embarrassment she had suffered after drinking that night and decided not to drink anymore. "Michelle, I'm not feeling well, so I won't drink anymore. You can go ahead."
Henrick smiled and said, "I'll drink for everyone on Allie's behalf."
As he spoke, he raised the wine glass in his hand and raised it to everyone.
To be able to drink with Mr. Henrick was a great honor. Everyone raised their glasses and drank up.
Michelle was very enthusiastic. When she saw that Henrick had finished the wine in his glass, she immediately refilled it.
Henrick, who was not good at drinking, was speechless.
Alice also knew that the Alwynn family members were not good at drinking. She still remembered what Gia had said about her brother, Kenneth.
Henrick's alcohol tolerance was not much better.
Seeing that he had drunk three glasses of red wine, Alice didn't want to drag a drunkard back, so he pulled Henrick's sleeve and reminded him, "Don't drink too much."
"Alice, I'm fine. They are all your classmates and friends. It's good to have fun."
Was she concerned about him? It warmed his heart!
Alice saw that he was going to encourage the situation, so she simply ignored him. He could do whatever he wanted. Anyway, there was also Josue outside.
