“Alice, do you think I barged into the kids’ room and carried you out?” Daniel said. His tone was laced with a touch of playful frustration, his fingers massaging his forehead as if he had a headache.
“You know how much the kids care about you. If I went in, they wouldn’t give me a chance to take you out.”
Alice bit her lip lightly, recalling the expression of the little ones looking down on their daddy. She felt that he was right; the kids definitely wouldn’t let him take her away.
So, if it wasn’t Daniel who went in, then did she walk out on her own?
She wondered how she got out without remembering anything.
“Could it be sleepwalking?” Alice blurted out.
Daniel looked at her, and there seemed to be a hint of melancholy between his brows. “You were sleepwalking, and you did something last night that I couldn’t resist.”
He couldn’t resist?
These words made Alice’s eyes widen. She wanted to bang her head on the ground and thoroughly review what exactly she had done last night.
“You could have resisted.” Alice was already on the verge of tears.
“You still don’t know your combat power well enough, especially when you sleepwalk,” Daniel said as he held Alice’s hand and kissed the back of her hand. “And I can’t bear to let you get hurt.”
As he finished speaking, he leaned in even closer.
Alice’s heart raced uncontrollably, and she couldn’t even bring herself to look at him.
In the early morning, men often had a hearty appetite. She felt that if things continued like this, they might end up crossing the line.
Hence, before Daniel could get any closer, she had already kicked the blanket away and climbed out of bed.
Seeing Alice act like a startled rabbit and quickly escape, Daniel’s lips curled into a playful smile. His face was filled with an expression that said, “My wife is so cute.”
During breakfast, William looked at Alice and Daniel with an ambiguous gaze.
Alice was a little troubled by his gaze. She held her forehead and changed the topic. “William, Alan will come to the villa today, right?”
William nodded. “That’s right. He should be here after breakfast.”
Hearing that, Alice breathed a sigh of relief.
If there was work to be done, she wouldn’t have to dwell on what happened when she entered Daniel’s room last night.
Daniel understood what Alice was thinking. He had intentionally rescheduled his morning meetings to spend time at home with her and meet Alan.
After Rebecca dropped the kids off at kindergarten, Ray arrived with Alan.
The moment Alan appeared, the elders of the Kaur family were stunned.
Despite having the name “King of Entertainment”, the person was dressed quite femininely.
He even put on heavy smoky makeup. The bright pink lipstick on his face surprisingly didn’t clash with his appearance, he seemed unique.
As soon as he entered, he pinched his fingers and looked around.
Then, he walked straight to Daniel. Raising his finger, he playfully tipped up Daniel’s chin and blinked. “Hey, you deadbeat, the artiste is someone from your family. How come you didn’t call me?”
Alice was at a loss for words.
Deadbeat?
Was there really something going on between Alan and Daniel?
William, on the other hand, rubbed his forehead and leaned closer to Alice, whispering, “Alice, now you understand why Daniel didn’t want to find this character for you, right?”
It was impossible to deal with this kind of person. Content bel0ngs to Nôvel(D)r/a/ma.Org.
Look at how he teased Daniel the moment he came up. Daniel was about to go crazy too.
Daniel’s face was getting darker and darker, but Alan was not afraid at all. He even grinned mischievously and continued, “Da mn it, I haven’t seen you for so long. Don’t you miss me at all?”
Daniel was speechless.
How would he miss him especially when he had a wife?
“Hey, my daughter is three years old. She’s very cute. I’m happier than you. I have a daughter, but you only have sons.”
He took out his phone and found a cute photo of his daughter. He deliberately showed it to Daniel.
“When my daughter was born, she was all soft and white, just like a marshmallow. She loves being held by me the most. The first word she started to say was ‘daddy.’
“My daughter looks so pretty in her little pink dress. I earn money just to buy clothes for my daughter.
“People with daughters are truly different. Unlike you, who only have sons and will never understand the joys of having a daughter.”
Daniel’s face turned darker and darker as he was provoked by Alan’s words. Finally, he pressed his forehead and then turned to look at Alice.
“Honey, let’s have a daughter too!”
Upon hearing this, Alan paused and turned his attention to Alice. Then, he covered his mouth and his expression was slightly exaggerated.
“Oh my go d! They said a clueless guy like you found a wife, and I didn’t believe it. It turns out you actually have a wife now!” Alan shook his head.
Then, he walked to Alice and walked around her a few times to take a closer look at her appearance.
“Da mn it, how did you manage to marry such a great wife? Is your wife a bit off in the head? Otherwise, how could she be interested in you?” Alan began to worry about Alice’s intelligence.
Daniel could no longer bear it and said firmly, “My wife is wonderful! We had a flash marriage! Are you going to take her or not?”
Seeing that Daniel was about to lose his patience, Alan stopped teasing and smiled. He held up his index finger and middle finger in a playful gesture.
“Alice’s information has been reviewed by me. To be honest, she’s a rare beauty in the entertainment industry. With the right path, she could easily become popular. However, I won’t simply help anyone.”
“Tell me your conditions.” Daniel stared at Alan as if implying that he would offer whatever amount of money was
necessary.
Shaking his head and swaying his finger, Alan said, “No, mate. I don’t make decisions based on money. I need to know Alice’s thoughts.”
After saying that, Alan stared at Alice solemnly. “Your image to the public is very good. Now, you have a choice now. Do you want to start by playing a sinister and seductive supporting role, or do you want to play an innocent and pure young female lead?”
Alice’s appearance was very malleable. She could either portray a pure innocent character or embrace a more enchanting and alluring persona.
Alan needed to understand her thoughts and preferences to determine if she was suitable for him to manage.
Alice responded earnestly, “I’d rather take the enchanting route.”
When Alan heard this, he raised his eyebrows and asked, “Aren’t you afraid of being scolded?”
“I’m not living for the people who criticize me. I just want to follow the path I like,” Alice explained. This was why, during her time under Travis, she often played malicious supporting roles.
She knew that those delicate and innocent characters didn’t suit her at all.
Moreover, she didn’t want to be pigeonholed by such labels.
“Very well. In that case, we’ll exchange contact information from now on,” Alan declared, extending his hand.
Alice was momentarily taken aback. “Mr. Alan, are you going to manage me?”
“Sweetheart, just call me Alan. From now on, I will guide you through the entertainment industry’s waves and storms,” Alan
excitedly said.
Alice chuckled at Alan’s antics and nodded, saying, “Alright, thank you, Alan.”
“Darling, remember, you don’t have to be too formal with me.”
On the other side, Daniel’s expression did not look good when he heard that Alan was repeatedly calling Alice “sweetheart”.
This was his wife and he didn’t even call her sweetheart.
