[Famous Books] Desire for control and arrogance

During the meal, Alice watched Aldridge covertly while talking to him.

She found that he was obviously much taller than her, but the total amount of food he ate was about the same as hers, and he chewed every bite of food for a long time, and he had to drink saliva after every chew.

Although he just said that it was because she fell in love with the food she loved, there was no joy on his face from eating delicious food.

No wonder he lost so much weight.

Alice looked at him, and her appetite for eating also decreased a lot.

He didn't eat his own food, but he cared about Alice. Seeing Alice's lack of interest in food, his expression became much darker, and he asked lonely, "Do you have no appetite?"

"The one who really doesn't have an appetite is you." Alice recalled the food he had said he liked, and without thinking too much, she subconsciously asked the servant to arrange it and deliver it.

Even if Aldridge's life is not going well for the time being, he is still the king of his own country, and Alice is just a princess of a neighboring country. By doing this, it is as if Alice is the hostess here.

Aldrich immediately thought of this subtle feeling, and the corners of his mouth turned up and down uncontrollably, but he didn't dare to let her find that he was happy, so he quickly lowered his head.

Alice has been paying attention to him all the time, and of course she saw everything, so she asked talkatively, "Why are you lowering your head again? Weren't you happy just now?"

She felt that he bowed his head not because of shyness, but because of avoidance.

"...I'm afraid you hate seeing me happy because of you." Aldrich paused, raised his head and said, there was no joy in his eyes at the moment.

He was too careful, so careful... She finally sympathized with him, and wondered if she had gone too far and left a psychological shadow on him.

But she is not the kind of character who likes to deny herself, she quickly went through her relationship with him in her mind, and confirmed that she did not force him to do things, so it is not too much.

He... was just unlucky.

Unlucky, I met a pair of bad parents, and finally wanted to have a wife who could be oppressed, but it turned out that the wife was a talent like her.

"You can be happy if you want, I'm not unhappy." Alice said slowly and seriously after eating a piece of meat, "I admit, I didn't intend to forgive you, but seeing you now...seeing what happened five years later You, I don't have any bad feelings."

Aldrich's throat moved up and down several times, wanting to be happy, but he controlled it and squeezed his mouth tightly, as if to stop himself from making random noises. After being silent for a long time, he said hoarsely: "Thank you."

Although it was thanks, his eyes were very confused and his heart was empty.

Seeing his reaction, Alice asked puzzledly, "Are you unhappy?"

"...I'm happy, it's just..." Aldridge said with a blank look in his eyes, "It's just that his desire to get your forgiveness has finally been fulfilled, but his heart is even more empty, and he has nothing to do It's gone."

Yes, he just had the idea of ​​wanting Alice to like him, but after so many years of waiting, he was the least hopeful about this, so now...

"Sometimes it feels boring to live." He smiled wryly and said suddenly.

Alice was sure that his state was completely wrong. She hesitated and hesitated, and finally moved the stool to sit next to him, approached him and said, "Don't do this, I want you to live well."

Aldridge smiled slightly, and said, "I'm talking nonsense, I'm feeling emotional for a while."

Alice didn't believe what he said now, and only said: "I used to think you were a strange person. You didn't have many friends and cared about people, so you didn't know how to treat people, and you were more extreme in your actions. Now you are even more withdrawn. Thinking about the problem is even more extreme, you can't think like this, you need to get in touch with..."

"Alice," Aldridge interrupted her, his eyes were dark and gloomy, as if he had accumulated countless unbearable old times, he was in pain, but he didn't want to change, "I know what you want to say, but I can't do it Yes, I have been living like this since I was a child. But I promise you, I will live well and not think about it. You...you have a good rest. I have a fire here not long ago, and it is quite chaotic. Why don't you go back to China tomorrow, and I will let you Someone will take you back."

Alice stared at him in disbelief, never expecting that he was the first to mention the separation when they just met. Could it be that he really doesn't like her?Or that he doesn't care about her anymore?

She has never been short of people to like her, but she is used to talking to him with confidence and getting love and compensation from him. Such a person who has a special sense of existence suddenly ignores her like this, She had trouble fitting in.

"I don't want to go back," she said awkwardly.

"But what are you doing here? It's dangerous here. If you want to know, I can write to you." Aldrich chased her away again. He saw that Alice wanted to say more, so he gritted his teeth and said, "Go back, it's also for your own good, just now I want to be with you again, if you don't like me, if you can't accept me, you'd better not come to my side, otherwise I will only let you Disappointed, but the last thing I want is to disappoint you."

When he said this, he really made up his mind that he didn't want to have any more contact with Alice.

Alice looked at his determined expression, her thoughts gradually became confused, and a feeling of unwillingness gradually surged in her heart.

But he said so, she is not good to stay.

After trying to finish the meal calmly, she also said goodbye with a blank face: "Okay, then take care of yourself, I'll go back first."

After she finished speaking, she immediately turned around, a small flame ignited in her heart, and she silently disliked Aldrich.

Bah, how can she drive people away as soon as she comes over? She can come over now if she is out of her mind, but there will be no such good things in the future.

Thinking of this, she was more decisive than Aldrich, and turned around and said: "Don't give me gifts in the future, I have forgiven you, if you give it again, it's not good, we don't have a good relationship..."

Aldridge pursed his lips tighter and tighter, and he stared at Alice without speaking, as if he was enduring some struggling thoughts.

A person like Alice is not really ignorant, she will be cowardly when she should be cowardly, seeing Aldrich so depressed, her desire to survive makes her shut up instantly, and she no longer dares to be quick for a while.

That's right, Aldridge is already pitiful enough, she knew from a young age that she must never beat the poor man again, otherwise the other party's spirit is not good, and it will definitely be bad for her.

Now Aldrich... really looks a bit out of spirits.

Alice softened her tone again, and said: "...But we have known each other for so long, and I also know that you are actually a person with a good nature, but the things you did in the past were sometimes unacceptable. If you really want to give me something, you can deliver."

She turned around and took a few more steps with complicated emotions. Suddenly, she heard the sound of wind approaching from behind, and she was hugged by a wide and slightly cool body. She even smelled that the approaching person was made of Aldrich The cool fragrance that you will have when you are a king.

The embrace was getting tighter and tighter, but it was also precarious, because the person holding her couldn't stand still at all, and soon sat down on the ground with her in his arms.

She heard Aldrich's heavy nasal panting, he hugged her tightly, and pressed his face to her back, crying behind her.

"Aren't you...you can't walk?" Alice wanted to scold him, but hearing his sad voice, these words came out of her mouth.

He didn't speak, and kept holding Alice and weeping in a low voice.

There were clocks running in the palace, and Alice didn't think about breaking free from his embrace, but she poked her head out of his embrace to see the time, and then she watched the time pass bit by bit, until it was 10 minutes, Aldrich is still crying!

Can cry more than her!

It seems that he is really having a miserable time!

Alice felt that there was no way to do this, and tried to break free from his arm, only to find that the embrace that was as strong and tight as a chain was easily broken free.

Aldridge didn't struggle, he let go of his hand obediently, because his head didn't have Alice's back as a fulcrum, so he slowly lay on the ground, put his face on his arm and continued to choke slowly.

The position may have made his head a little uncomfortable, and he casually took off his crown, letting the precious crown roll into the corner at will.

"Aldrich..." Alice called out helplessly.

"...You go back, while I can still control myself, no, I don't regret it." He said this sentence intermittently, his voice became extremely unpleasant due to the long-term suppression.

Well, instead of being angry, Alice became more and more sympathetic to him.

She didn't say she was going to leave, she just said, "Let me help you to the wheelchair."

Aldridge didn't speak or move, but when Alice tried to touch him, his body trembled slightly, and he quickly whispered, "Thank you."

Alice first pushed the wheelchair over and then helped him. He cooperated obediently and worked hard to get on the wheelchair. After he sat firmly, he suddenly grabbed Alice's elbow, as if he had made great determination, and it was red and swollen. Eyes gritted his teeth and said: "Can you think about being with me again, I will really make you happy this time."

This behavior shows that he can't let go of Alice at all, which is in line with Alice's impression of him. It's not that he has no feelings for him just now, but she finally feels more comfortable. She was about to shake her head to show him, when suddenly she heard him say One sentence: "We can formally get married, you really don't need to love me, just let me see you when eating, if you are unhappy, you can tell me in advance, and then you can find someone else to be with... ..."

"You're crazy!" Alice couldn't help scolding him in a low voice, "Don't let yourself regret and distort in order to achieve your goal."

Aldridge would only look at her faintly, as if he was really crazy.

Alice immediately covered his eyes, racked her brains and thought over and over, and said cautiously: "You are sick, your body is sick, and your heart is also sick. I am not a very good person, so don't expect me to do anything for you." Ah, but, but anyway, I have known you for so long, I can accompany you for a while to relax and recuperate."

His eyelashes trembled violently in Alice's hands, making Alice a little itchy. After an unknown amount of time, he said, "How long? How long will you stay with me?"

Alice put down her hand and said with a guide: "Look at your performance. If you really recuperate in peace and order, we should get along happily, and I should want to stay with you longer."

The author has something to say: I'm sorry, it's another crazy male protagonist who criticizes old scum, but I might really like it, and it's this one again.
