[Famous Books] Desire for control and arrogance

Alice has been lying motionless on the bed like a corpse since she got home.Soon, someone downstairs called her name. When Alice heard it, the familiar voice belonged to Bill.

She didn't want to see anyone, so she covered her ears and planned to sleep.

I could still hear his voice before falling asleep, and I don't know how long he waited.

After waking up, Alice may have cried too much and her head was drowsy. She immediately supported her head with her wrists before she could sit up.

She had already thought about it last night, and she couldn't waste any more time, so she had to get up when she said anything.

Because she couldn't open her eyes very well, she staggered to the door relying on her memory, and successfully opened the door with her groping.

She was alone in the empty room, and when she started to walk unsteadily again, suddenly her left foot caught her right foot, and she fell heavily to the ground.

The severe pain made her grit her teeth and howl for a long time, so when the voice of Aldrich, who was no longer pretending to be Bill, came, Alice opened the door without hesitation, and greeted this man who could at least help take care of her.

Aldrich saw that Alice's expression was not good, and thought that Alice was angry with him, and said quickly: "It's my fault to discuss with Bill without permission..."

Before he finished speaking, Alice frowned and confessed: "Please help me find a servant who can give me a massage. I'm not feeling well today."

Aldrich quickly cared: "Where is it uncomfortable? Is it okay to just massage?"

After Alice opened the door, she tiredly dragged herself to a place where she could rest, and said impatiently, "You can arrange more if you like."

Aldridge didn't dare to talk nonsense, and hurried out to make arrangements.

There are quite a few people in the palace who can help with massages, because Aldridge works too much, so he can recover his body as soon as possible, so he has been deploying such servants in the palace.

So it stands to reason that he has so many massage servants ready-made, and it would be easy to arrange them immediately, but when he was about to speak, Aldridge quickly flashed the faces of the servants he usually dismissed, and suddenly this Not satisfied, that is not satisfied anymore.

Not for anything else, just because these servants who help massage are relatively young people, there are men and women, and they are not ugly.

After being ruled by him before, these people, especially the maids, were afraid to talk to him, let alone have any thoughts about him, but these people couldn't guarantee that they didn't have thoughts about Alice.

Besides, the servants are used to being low-key, and they know how to look at words to please others. Alice doesn't seem to care about her appearance and identity now, but only cares about others holding her high, so if these servants are arranged to come, wouldn't it be letting them Fascinating Alice, leading to troubles for him?

Comparing him with these servants, Alice will definitely lose sight of him even more.

Aldrich simply couldn't bear this kind of grievance that he might have in the future, so he deliberately asked the guard to find the ugliest and oldest maid to come over, and asked the maid to pretend to be dumb in advance, and then followed to see everything.

And when the maid was giving Alice a massage, he stared at him the whole time, for fear that the maid would have any possibility of hooking up with Alice.

Where has the maid seen Aldrich's vicious eyes like guarding against a rival in love?While massaging, I even have a dead heart.

She had no idea why she was being targeted like this.

At first, she thought it was Aldridge who had a problem with Alice, she hesitated for a while, and Aldrich commanded her dissatisfied, so she had to do her best to serve Alice, but the more she looked at Alice, Aldrich stared at her.

She is too bitter.

After finally feeling that Alice who was being massaged had fallen asleep, the maid suppressed her excitement, slowly slowed down, and signaled to Aldrich about Alice's state.

Aldrich immediately walked over with light steps, and fell into Alice's sleeping face after being too comfortable.That sleeping face was defenseless. Compared with Alice's usual way of torturing him wantonly, the strong contrast made him feel that Alice was really cute.

He couldn't help but hook the corners of his mouth, and then subconsciously became more protective. When he looked at the maid again, he was as cold as ice, and pointed to the door, signaling the maid to leave quickly.

The maid couldn't wait for her now, so she ran away immediately without talking nonsense.

Aldrich hesitated for a while, and finally sat gently beside Alice, looking at Alice without relaxing his eyes for a moment, and the more he looked at him, the more gentle his expression became.

This kind of scenery really makes people feel warm in the heart. It is difficult for him to tell the mystery of it, but he just feels extremely comfortable.

Alice just took a light sleep, and soon woke up. When she opened her eyes, because her body had indeed recovered a lot, she could clearly see Aldrich's appearance and his undisguised longing eyes.

Seeing that Alice finally woke up, Aldrich didn't hide much and didn't hide. After making his eyes even hotter, he said gently: "I really know that I was wrong, and I promise that no one will let you out. .”

Alice watched him perform quietly, without speaking.

Aldrich was used to being despised by her, and felt that ignoring his words seemed to give him some room to imagine that she might treat him well, so he continued to speak slowly about his next life plan in satisfaction: "I'm really serious, I don't mean to be bad for you. You always mistrust me. I know it's my fault. I don't blame you. I only blame myself.

My only wish right now is for you to watch me get better little by little.So... so... I... I want to get engaged to you first, and let everyone know your status in the kingdom, so that you can know my heart for you. "

Alice had listened to Aldrich's tricks with ease, but when she heard about the engagement, she froze completely.

She had expected that Aldridge would coax her into being with him in a hurry, so as to give her father an explanation earlier, but it all happened too early.

The topic of engagement was too big and too abrupt, so Alice didn't even think about it, and said the truth directly: "But I have a hunch that I will never like you again, so do you want to get engaged?"

This time, the person who was completely frozen like a stone turned into Aldrich completely.

"Never..." He said in a daze, unbelievable that this was the evaluation he got.

When he was a child, he felt that being with parents who did not love each other was the greatest marital misfortune, but now he realizes that the greatest misfortune is that one party likes and tries everything hard, only to be rejected by the other party forever.

He later recalled that day with a dark, tense feeling in his heart, and was absolutely sure that it was the day that first brought him a sense of discouragement.

The emergence of that feeling was like he was forced to open the devil's box. From this day on, he could only watch his discouragement getting heavier and the gap in his heart getting bigger and bigger.

Discouragement can make people feel down, it can make people sad, and most importantly, it can make people feel inferior.

Alice was too firm, so firm that she dragged him down from the high platform of self-confidence, and turned him into a lonely and sensitive self that was completely unfamiliar.

However, he also seemed to be born lonely and flawed, so the only wife he liked was not willing to warm him at all, and the only family he looked forward to became the person who would bully him the most.

Aldridge, who started to be hit by bad self-injury emotions, quickly lowered his head, not daring to look at Alice anymore.

"It's okay." He heard his own voice whisper, "It's quite normal, and it's normal if you don't like me."

He paused for a moment, not knowing what to say or what to do, he just fumbled some words in a flustered manner: "After getting engaged, you don't have to like me at all."

How can you say that you don't like him at all? If you don't like him and are still with him, doesn't that mean that he is watching helplessly being used by Alice?

Obviously there was this voice of dissatisfaction and uneasiness in his heart, but he closed his eyes and accepted his fate of being defeated without knowing what to do.

Otherwise... what can I do?

He can only be with Alice like this, and he has to worry that Alice won't even give him a chance to use him.

He couldn't understand at all that he had a tough attitude towards life, but why he was so fragile when it came to feelings.

It's not right, it's not considered fragile in the first place, it's because of being hit so hard that it becomes fragile.

It seems that Alice has been able to be arrogant for so long, not all because of Alice's father's petting, there should be a lot of her own ability, she is born to make people speechless and bow their heads in front of her.

Alice looked at Aldridge in front of her, and watched the starry light emanating from his whole body dimming little by little, but it was rare that she didn't feel any pleasure, because it was her father who could arouse her emotions at present.

Thinking that her father expected her to marry Aldrich, Aldrich should be implicated and wronged, anyway, he is not completely innocent.

"Don't you," said Alice gravely, "if I don't like you, what's the point of getting engaged? Don't you want to be with a dead body like a corpse?"

Aldrich took a deep breath in embarrassment: "I don't know why." He had nothing to say, and simply thought of something to say, "But I do want to get engaged to you, and I want to do everything. Sorry, here you are Adding trouble. Just pretend I didn't say anything."

He gave up. In order to prevent the king from being dissatisfied with him and to prevent Alice from being taken home by the king, he can also open up his emotions in public and express his care for Alice.

Although he really didn't like his emotions being exposed in the public eye, he had to hold it back if it wasn't to make Alice completely rebel against him.

But will it be useful to hold back like this?Alice really didn't have him in her eyes.

He shouldn't have agreed to Alice's divorce. Now it's all right, and he completely cut off his own path.

"Then do you mean we can't give it a try?" He held back the desire to cover his heart, and asked in torment, "Do you really want to live a civilian life now? This kind of life is too hard."

Alice finally showed some good emotions on her face. She did agree with Aldridge that civilian life is very hard. If she can quickly climb to a high position, she will have strong emotions to try to change this civilian life.

The current situation seems to be the only one who cares about her and suffers alone, but how can it be done?

Those who hurt her are the ones who should suffer the most, and she wants to find her own compensation.

As for the channel that can indirectly connect with her father again, it is better to find Aldrich.

After all, if she went to contact her father directly without a middleman, she would explode with anger at the moment, and it is very likely that she and her father would engage in cold violence with each other.So she had to stay with Aldridge and live well.

The author has something to say: the second half of the chapter is in this chapter.
