[Famous Books] Desire for control and arrogance

Aldridge's illness hurt his throat, and he was very difficult to recover. The waiting time for his recovery was like a river, and it soon came to three days before his birthday.

During this period of time, his work was not done well due to lack of energy, and his mood fell to the bottom because he could not see Alice. The only consolation was that although Alice insisted on not wanting to come to see him, she sent him a letter .

There are not many letters, only three copies, and there is still a faint fragrance on the letter paper.

When Aldridge smelled it for the first time, he seemed to see the delicate Alice.

The three letters simply asked him how his condition was, and there were a few words of wishing him an early recovery.

He placed high hopes on her, and hoped that she would be considerate and caring about him in the following married life. He should have been angry when he received such perfunctory things.But to be honest, because the family's care for Aldrich is almost zero, the parents don't care whether he is sick or not, and everything about him is taken care of by the servants, so... In contrast, the first time I received these He actually felt very happy with the dull words.

He thought a lot, and thought a lot of good things for Alice.

Originally, he seemed to have given Alice a lot of bad impressions, and she had made it clear that she didn't like him, but she was still able to send a few words of caring, which was really a surprise, and this was the only warmth in the boring working life with illness.

To this day, he still had some signs of a slight cold, but at least he didn't cough anymore, and his spirits improved, so he changed his clothes and went to find Alice.

Alice now left almost all the complicated feelings to her father, so after seeing Aldrich again after so long, she finally felt less disgusted with him.

"Come in." She invited him in flatly, as if meeting someone she had known for a long time.

After taking him to the living room, he asked for his thoughts and poured him a glass of milk, while Alice drank tea.

After sipping each other's drinks, they fell into silence at the same time, and both of them felt that they had nothing to talk about.

Yes, they really had nothing to talk about.

We only talked about some common foreign things we saw with each other. As for the illness, we had already talked about it at the door just now.

Two people who know each other had a marriage relationship with each other, and people who have slept in the same bed for so long, have never penetrated into each other's heart from beginning to end.

Since there is no in-depth, even if there is a liking, it is only an external attraction.

Alice thinks that's what she thinks of Aldrich, and she firmly believes that Aldrich thinks the same about her.

She yawned boredly, and suddenly heard Aldrich ask a question: "Alice, do you want to go home?"

"Go home?" Alice's body tensed instantly, and her eyes sharpened like a frightened cat.

Had she gone too far, and Aldrich felt hopeless with her and wanted to send her back?

Oh my god, she doesn't want it, she won't go back even if she dies, since she is treated like this, she will make her life short if she goes back.

She is young and beautiful, so I don't want to simply return to a hell when she has no power or power. The master of that hell has the experience of controlling her life at will. Now she is not married and has not fulfilled his wish, so she may It will be the fate of being influenced by others for the second time.

That kind of life is too miserable, why not continue to entangle with Aldridge here.

"I don't want to go home," she said hastily, "I can't go back, everyone there laughs at me, I can't possibly have the intention to go back."

Seeing her resolute words, Aldrich was happy, and relaxed a little, and said, "I understand, it's normal. You, you can stay in my kingdom as long as you want."

What Alice wanted was this sentence. My God, people really need to compare to know better. For example, when comparing her father with Aldrich, Aldrich is really barely passable.

Alice was in a good mood, and thought about what Aldridge would do to Alice after all, after all, he had given her a lot of things before, and she was standing on other people's land, even if she couldn't be a lover, it was best to pretend After doing a good job in the relationship with him, he began to consider treating him kindly.

"Thank you." She said politely. "Shall we have lunch later?"

Yes, Alice could only treat him kindly like this.

Her sociable brain meets Aldrich who only likes work and housework. There is really nothing to talk about.

In addition, doing many interesting things requires money, and Aldrich is not worthy of letting her spend money!

Alice really never thought that she could become such a tight-knit person, but there is no way, life is like this, she does not need to go home to be angry, has self-esteem, and has food, housing and clothing, and now she can go out and play freely, Things will come slowly in the future.

She comforted herself, gained a little peace of life, and asked the stunned Aldridge, "Is it because you don't have time?"

Aldrich hurriedly said, "No, I was too surprised."

Alice narrowed her eyes: "It's no surprise."

Aldrich's face was a bit gloomy, maybe he was really stunned, and he actually said: "You don't like me, I thought I would never receive your invitation again."

He was suddenly so straightforward and pitiful, and it was hard for Alice to say anything, because if she comforted him, it would give him hope, if she didn't comfort him, it seemed that she was too unreasonable, so she fell silent.

Aldrich thought that his words had embarrassed Alice, and he was a little happy that Alice invited him on his own initiative, but suddenly he became ashamed.

The already stagnant atmosphere became even more difficult for him.

Say something, have to say something.

He had to make Alice like to listen to his topic, and the topic had better be about himself, so that Alice could pay attention to him.

But it couldn't be his own boasting, because Alice didn't like that.

Driven by panic and urgency, he suddenly spoke a gossip about himself: "My mother recently contacted me."

Alice didn't understand why he suddenly brought up such a topic, but something was better than nothing, and the household affairs of the neighboring royal family could be quite interesting news, so she nodded, her blue eyes fixed on Aldridge , as if wanting to hear it.

Aldridge could only bite the bullet and continue talking. In fact, he was out of breath when he mentioned this, but he subconsciously controlled his gaffe and forgot that he had to speak as interestingly as possible, so his tone was very flat: "She has been staying in the monastery. , I don’t see her in any way, isn’t she sick recently, and I didn’t inform her, I didn’t expect her to come here on her own initiative, and she was very concerned about me. I always feel that this is awkward, but I am still grateful to her, She tried to satisfy her with everything she wanted, but in less than a day, she exposed her domineering and unreasonable appearance, and actually wanted to force me to marry a woman."

Alice was stunned. She had never seen Aldrich's mother, and she didn't care about everything about him. She thought his mother had passed away, but she was still there. She also asked Aldridge to be with someone else. .

She has no position to say what to ask, but to be honest, she is a little uncomfortable. After all, Aldrich was married to her and is currently her most powerful suitor. She still has to rely on him for many things. If he marries someone else...

If she was married, imagining that scene, she would become more and more uncomfortable.

She was pretty sure she wasn't in love with him, really sure.

But he... But he is the first man who has been with her for so long, and tortured her for so long, and she hasn't fully retaliated yet, so how can he just rush to the road of happiness with others?She doesn't want to take advantage of him!

Moreover, she spent a lot of effort to domesticate him slowly. Now he just bows his head in front of her. She can handle the scales with ease, but if he gets married, even if he is easy, she doesn't want to see him anymore.

Ah, she really hates being entangled with married men, or men with fiancées. There is an immoral feeling of stealing other people's things, so she doesn't want to be that kind of person.

She is born to be brilliant, so she doesn't want to stain her life with a stain that can be laughed at.

Alice's face gradually darkened, and she said bluntly, "Did you agree?"

Aldrich was stiffened by her sudden sharp stare, and subconsciously explained: "No."

Alice didn't want to give him a good face, so she continued to look even colder: "Then does she still want to continue to persecute you?"

Aldrich's body was still stiff, and Alice was in the mode of quick questioning to him, so he had no choice but to quickly and subconsciously answer: "Yes."

Alice rolled her eyes in disgust, and said bluntly: "You can do whatever you want, but let me make it clear first, if you promise to marry someone else, then don't come to me."

This seemed to be very possessive, Aldridge didn't expect her to say that immediately, he was stunned for a moment, showing a slight surprise after he couldn't believe it: "You, do you want me not to be with others?"

Alice was in a bad mood, picked up a cup of tea and drank it all in one gulp, and quickly said angrily: "If you still look for me, you will cause trouble for me. Others say that I am your mistress, maybe your mother-in-law or your future wife Will trouble me, do you think I can bear it?"

The more she talked, the more unhappy she became. She poured herself another cup of tea and drank it quickly, and said sharply, "No, if you want to be with someone else, tell me in advance so that I can leave your country early."

It's not justifiable for her to stay here, and Aldrich may interfere with her finding a partner. More importantly, she hasn't seen anything clear enough to be satisfied with her stay for so long, so she can run away early.

As for where to go...

She closed her eyes, trying to calm herself down.

If she leaves Campbell Kingdom, she should go back to her own mother country.

There is no way, safety is the most important thing, even if you go back and get angry, it is better than dying silently in an unknown place.

People always have to ensure safety before thinking about comfortable and uncomfortable things.

There are thousands of ways to be angry with her father, and there are also thousands of ways to stay away from her father. After she guarantees her safety, she will always find other ways.

Alice's heart was already wandering to plan what to do after returning to her home country, but she was suddenly startled by the approaching Aldrich's hand.

"What are you doing?" Alice knocked off Aldrich's hand subconsciously.

The strength should be great, and his white hands immediately turned red.

Aldrich pursed his lips, and spoke in a low voice uncomfortable, with an expression of disbelief and grievance: "You seem to have been unable to hear me, that's why I touched you."

Alice's attention was indeed not on him just now, and she was wronged, so she finally softened her tone: "Sorry, what did you say?"

Aldridge still felt very uncomfortable, but keeping her was the most important thing, so he could only emphasize: "Don't leave here, I promise you."
