Her Second Marriage, Being Mr. Moore's New Wife

The room was so quiet that you could even have heard a pin drop.

Alice sat alone on the sofa, curled up there as if dead.

Yanis sat on one side, her eyes and expression were complicated.

Alice did not speak, she did not dare to speak, for fear that her words would affect her mood.

They did not know what had happened downstairs, but a long time had passed since then, and they had heard nothing suspicious. They wanted to have a look, but they were afraid to disturb it. So they were suffering.

As the seconds passed, Yanis sat still, feeling her limbs almost stiff, she finally stood up.

"Maybe I'll go down and have a look."

She walked two steps, but Alice said lightly.

"Don't go."

"Alice?" Yanis looked at her with surprise, "now you should be curious. We have been here for a while and don't you want to know how they are doing?" Alice did not speak, but lightly shook her head.

In fact, she probably knew how they were getting along. Jack's face was so similar to Kennedy's that he could guess the fact.

She only wondered what Kennedy would think of her when he guessed the truth.

The truth was kept from him for about five years.

Would he be angry with her now? Would he hate her?

Seeing that she was unmoved, Yanis bit her teeth, "I go to see, don't stop me."

"Yanis!"

Alice loudly called her, Yanis paused and looked back at her.

"It's getting late. You go to your room, take a bath and go to bed. Leave the thing alone."

"But you..."

"Don't worry, I know what to do.

"Alice!!"

"Go back! Alice's tone became stern, looking at Yanis, as an elder.

Yanis had not seen Alice like this. She did not want Yanis to get involved. And if she insisted, Yanis would be angry with her.

"Well, I'm out of it. I'll go back to my room."

Yanis walked away.

After she left, Alice sank back into the sofa and closed her eyes.

The door came a slight sound, Alice thought it was Yanis came back and said, "I told you I will deal with it. You go back to bed and really don't bother me any more."

After she said that, there was no reply outside, Alice thought Yanis left again, but she sensed something wrong. Yanis was angry and she would not come back at this time.

What was that noise at the door?

Alice paused, opened her eyes, and then looked toward the door.

A tall, slender figure stood at the door, gazing at her.

Kennedy...

Alice's lips moved, subconsciously she climbed up from the sofa, and sat there looking at him.

Their eyes met in the air, and neither spoke a word.

But Alice could see his eyes were not the same as before, a variety of emotions intertwined together.

Alice looked at his eyes, and was secretly frightened, but she pretended to be calm. She smiled, stood up from the sofa and walked to Kennedy.

She walked up to him, Kennedy looked at the front, as if he had never met her before.

Alice was sad but asked with a smile, "Is Jack downstairs? I'll go and see him."

Then, like a defeated general, she threw down her helmet and tried to flee.

When she passed by, Kennedy suddenly lifted up his hand and blocked her way forward.

Looking at these arms in front of her, Alice could only stand in place, quietly waiting.

"Is that why you have repeatedly refused me to see him?"

Kennedy finally opened his mouth, his voice was deep and hoarse.

Alice felt bitter, pursed her lips but did not answer.

"You knew that?"

Alice did not know how to answer.

"When you asked me those questions abroad, you were testing me?"

"You knew then?"

Alice bit her lower lip, still did not answer, and even stood there motionless.

Kennedy gave a low laughter with sarcasm and self-mockery, "You don't let me investigate you, I agreed, so this is the reason. Five years, you lied to me for five years, and now... Are you going to continue??" Kennedy held her wrist with great force. Alice was in pain but he pressed her against the cold wall.

"Was it fun? Everyone knew it, but I was kept in the dark like a fool?"

"It is not like that!"

"Not like that? I've been hidden from you for five years. Is it true that if I don't find you, you'll never want to see me again, take my son, and just hide it for the rest of your life? And I'm kept in the dark all my life?"

Kennedy seemed to lost his reason, in fact, Alice could understand that. Before she got back to him, she was afraid that Kennedy would take Jack away, and when they were back together, she was worried that Kennedy would get angry.

Sure enough, he was really disappointed.

Alice looked at him and wanted to explain to him, she said, "It hurts, you let go of me, I......"

"You know pain?" Kennedy said in self-mockery, "What about me?"

Alice frowned, "I know you now don't feel good, but I didn't mean to deceive you. Let go and I will explain."

Kennedy was silent, staring at her.

After a long time, he slowly loosen his hand, Alice got freedom, rubbed her painful wrist and looked at Kennedy, biting her lower lip.

"There's only one question I want to know."

"Go ahead."

"Do Zain and Manfred know it?"

Hearing that, Alice wondered why he asked such a question.

She looked at Kennedy with hesitation.

A moment later, she opened her mouth.

"I don't want to lie to you."

"Manfred knows it."☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐
