Gluey Love Between Us

Chapter 2282

Henrick closed his eyes and tossed and turned for a while. He couldn't fall asleep again, so he simply got up to look at his phone.

He clicked on his social media accounts and found that there was no news of Alice on the Internet.

With his brother's help, there was nothing that couldn't be solved. Despite this, he still suspected that someone was trying to cause trouble for Allie with this matter. Everything was against her.

Although gossip stopped at the wise, how many people could actually be rational?

After scrolling for a while, he was about to put down his phone when he saw a message from his brother, Kenneth.

"Call this number. The owner of this phone number bought a group of online trolls and tried to slander Miss Klein."

He quickly replied, "Kenneth, can't you find out from where you are?"

Kenneth's response was, "The name is Michelle Church. I'm not sure if that person is a man or a woman!"

Henrick replied, "Kenneth, you're so dumb. Just by looking at her name, you can tell that she's a woman. I've met this woman before, and I know who she is. She rubbed up against me a few times at a party and I was taken advantage of by her. She's Allie's best friend. It's so scary what she can do to her supposed best friend!"

"What do you mean by 'you've been taken advantage of by her'? Why were you so close to her when you have a woman you like? You were asking for it!" That was Kenneth's message to him.

For some reason, Henrick felt that his brother's words made sense.

Henrick typed, "Kenneth, I'll stay away from her next time. When will you come back? I miss you."

Kenneth rebuked him, "You already have children in primary school. Why are you still so clingy?"

Sitting in his luxurious and bright office, Kenneth began to smile brightly at the news sent by his brother. Content protected by Nôv/el(D)rama.Org.

When his assistant, Luke, came in and saw Kenneth smiling, he was so shocked that he broke out in a cold sweat and left cautiously.

When Kenneth is in a good mood, it would be best not to disturb him or else he would be dead. Luke thought.

However, Kenneth's smile was really pleasing to the eye!

Henrick texted, "Kenneth, I'm sick. Mom is not by my side. I'm not feeling well so please comfort me."

Kenneth retorted, "As long as Miss Klein is with you, she will be your greatest comfort."

Henrick replied, "Hehe, you know me best. I'm much better now. Kenneth, remember to bring a gift for the children when you come back."

Kenneth responded, "Got it. It's my first time seeing my niece and nephew, so of course, I have to bring them a gift."

After Henrick put down his phone, he looked out of the window. The last bit of discomfort and loss in his heart had disappeared. Indeed, love and kinship were the best medicine to heal one's soul.

The setting sun in the distance peeked out from behind the dark clouds, forming an ethereal light.

Henrick frowned. Was it going to rain?

Why was the weather in Lemmon City the same as that in River City? As long as there were dark clouds, it would definitely rain heavily.

......

That night, it rained heavily.

Alice brought Juliet over to check up on Henrick. The heavy rain left them no chance to return.

The housekeepers and servants were very discerning. They all went back to the backyard and did not disturb the family of three.

Juliet held a stack of photos of her father in her hand that had been taken over the past few years. There was a pair of big eyes, which were like a clear spring, on the pink and delicate face, that peered at the photos. She looked at her father with admiration. "Dad, you have been so handsome since you were a child. You deserve to be my father. After you recover, sign these photos. These are for my best friend, Miane."

Looking at the photos of him at various ages collected by his daughter, Henrick was very touched. He smiled and nodded. "Okay, I'll sign them tomorrow."

Alice looked at the photos and felt that they looked familiar. "Juliet, where did you find these photos?"

"Oh! Mom, I found them at the bottom of your suitcase. Didn't you keep these photos for years? I found them when I came back."

Alice was speechless. No wonder they looked so familiar.

These were all photos of Henrick, which she had treasured over the years. There were several photos of him at different ages, as well as some still shots from his dramas. Since that night seven

years ago, she had always been very sad and afraid. She hid those photos in a box for fear of hurting herself. She had even placed several boxes on top of it. How did such a young girl manage to find them?

Henrick suddenly looked at Alice.

Alice suddenly stumbled away from him.

Henrick was very excited. At that moment, he truly understood how much she loved him all those years ago.

"Alice." He called out to her gently.

Alice saw that the rain was getting lighter, so she looked at her daughter and said, "Juliet, let's go home."

Juliet, who was looking at the photos, looked at her father with some reluctance. "Okay!"

She put down the photo and couldn't help but remind her father, "Dad, remember to sign them tomorrow."

"Okay!" Henrick's eyes were still fixed on Alice.

Alice looked at him, picked up the umbrella next to the sofa, and took her daughter's hand to leave.

Henrick suddenly stood up and said, "Alice, I'll walk you back."

He walked up to his daughter, squatted down, and patted his back. "Juliet, come up. I'll carry you back."

Speaking of which, he had never carried his daughter on his back before, right?

Juliet was so excited that she was about to cry. She murmured in a choked voice, "Dad, this is your first time carrying me."

Henrick's nose twitched and he didn't look back. When he felt that the little girl had clung onto him, he felt warmth spreading in his heart.

Carrying his daughter on his back, he looked at Alice and said with a smile, "Allie, you hold the umbrella."

Alice looked at him expressionlessly. "You're not feeling well. Why are you still doing this?"

"It's okay, I'm alright." Henrick smiled and walked forward carrying his daughter on his back.

Alice followed them helplessly.

After going out, she opened the umbrella to cover the father and daughter.

The two of them lived very close to each other, only a few steps apart. However, Henrick still felt very happy and warm.

Juliet was very smart and felt that it was not the time to disturb her parents. On the second floor, she skipped back to her room after saying good night.

Henrick was really grateful for his daughter's help.

He looked at Alice, who was tidying up the cushions on the sofa.

He took a few steps forward and hugged her from behind.

Alice's mind went blank as she was pulled into his warm embrace.

He was wearing a thin silk shirt, so she could feel the burning heat spreading from his body to her back, then throughout her body.

She remained motionless as she was still not used to that intimate posture.

Henrick closed his eyes and suppressed all the throbbing in his heart. Earlier, he had heard from his daughter that those photos were all kept by Alice. At that time, he only had the impulse to hug her.

"Allie," he called her in a hoarse voice.

Alice bit her lip and ignored him. Right then, she felt that all the discomfort and grievances of the past had resurfaced again.

"Allie, I'm sorry. Can you give me a chance to make up for it?"
