Chapter 356

For too long.

So long that she had forgotten the time.

The two of them stood face to face, and their eyes met. Alice maintained her calm with much difficulty.

William stood in front of her, bent down, and picked up the pair of white shoes from the ground. He placed the shoes on his palms, lowered his gaze, slightly lifted the thin lip up and said in a low voice, "She wears such big shoes."

His voice was as low and sexy as ever.

Perhaps it was because it had been too long since Alice had heard his voice, but Alice's heart was beating even faster.

Not throbbing.

It was an indescribable pain.

She recalled too much, and every memory cut her body and gnawed at her flesh.

Alice lowered her eyes, and glanced at the shoes, then turned and left.

The instant she turned around, William grabbed her arm.

Alice's eyes froze, and only after a few seconds did she turn around to look at him.

William stared at her, his gaze overbearing, as he enunciated every word, "Your shoes."

It was a simple sentence.

It was like a chat.

It was as if there were not so much between them, as if they had been sitting together and talking peacefully yesterday. It was ironic.

If he could do it, she might be able to do it.

Alice steadied her mind, looked at him indifferently and coldly, then said slowly, "Mr.Cullen, long time no see."

She knew that it was only a matter of time before she would be able to see William again when she returned to the country.

Actually, she had already practiced this countless times in her heart.

Long time no see, William. I am no longer the Alice who let you randomly hurt and insult.

It was just a few simple words, but the corners of her lips were twitching, and she was exerting all her strength.

Hearing that, the look in William's eyes became even deeper, so deep that it seemed as if he wanted to swallow her whole. After a long time, he finally replied her word by word, "Long time no see, Alice."

Alice.

Recitation at all times.

His voice was so low that it seemed to be changing the situation.

"Can you let go now, Mr.Cullen?" Alice asked coldly.

His hand was still gripping her arm. In his hand, her arm seemed so slim.

"Your shoes."

William did not let go as he stared at her with his black eyes.

Alice lowered her gaze to look at the shoes in his hand, and disdainfully said, "I don't want them."

The little shoes that he had touched, she didn't have the courage to change into them for Kathy.

The scorn in her voice infuriated him.

William's slightly angry voice sounded out from above her head, "What do you want? Shoes, or me?"

Hearing this, Alice was completely stunned, and she looked at him in disbelief that he could actually ask such a question.

Who didn't want who?

Who had done this to her? Who nearly ruined her?

William stared at her with shining eyes.

He always looked down on her, between them.

She was sick of this pattern.

Then there would be no need to falsely play the serene rerun.

In the next second, Alice flung his hands away, and glared at him coldly. "I don't want either!"

"1 After saying that, when Alice was about to leave, he grabbed her arm again and said unhappily, "Alice, why didn't you want me? Did you get my permission?' Hearing this, the hatred in Alice's heart was completely pulled out.

"Pah!"

Without hesitation, she raised her hand and swept it across his handsome face.

William did not dodge. He just stood there, letting her attack him, and then took this palm.

He didn't even move his face away from her as he stared at her, and his voice filled with dissatisfaction. "It's been so long since we last met, and you're already slapping me?"

"You are looking for a beating. In fact, I want to kill you more."

"Kill me?"

Shock surfaced in William's eyes.

"Yes." Alice said as she stared at him in hatred. Her normally gentle voice was now filled with hatred, "William, I request that you never appear in front of me again. Don't make me feel disgusted."

Asking her why she didn't want him.

How could he have the face to ask such a question? It was as if he was the one who had been abandoned.

"I hate you?"

William asked, a dull look flashing through his black pupils, as if he was a child at a loss.

"Yes. So, please disappear from my sight."

With that, Alice turned and walked towards the maple tree passage. She walked very quickly, as if she would vomit if she was slightly slow.

William stood where he was, staring at her back, his handsome face remaining in loneliness.

He reached out and pressed his hand to his chest.

It was an uncomfortable feeling with anxiety.

He couldn't be angry with her anymore.

When Alice walked to the end of the maple tree, a few bodyguards in black suits suddenly walked over and blocked her way.

Seeing that, Alice's anger grew even stronger, and she turned to look at William. William stood there and looked at her with his black eyes.

"I didn't let you go, Alice."

William looked at her, his chin slightly raised, and his entire body filled with arrogance.

Again.

In the Cullen family's dictionary, there was no such word as respect.

Alice was standing there wearing a windbreaker, her hands in her pockets, her eyes clear, "Besides being a despicable prisoner and being kidnapped, is there nothing else your Cullen family can do?"

Once, twice.

Do whatever you want.

"I didn't mean to kidnap you." William walked to her and stood in front of her. The ear nail on his right ear was like a diamond shining with a faint light.

"Then what are you doing?" To have her locked up here, if it wasn't kidnapping, then what?

"I want to see you." He had not seen her for a long time, and when she returned he followed her.

"Now that you see it, can I leave?" Alice said coldly as she reached out to brush off the Maple Leaf on her shoulder. Right now, she only wanted to leave.

"Why do you want to leave?"

William stared at her, and dissatisfied with her attitude.

"Otherwise, why would I stay behind to accompany you through the Mid-Autumn Festival?" She pushed back her long hair and asked impatiently, "Have you seen enough?"

"I didn't see enough!"

Alice looked at him speechlessly. She suddenly realized that he was no different from before.

He really didn't feel any guilt towards her at all.

William stared at her with blazing eyes, staring at every detail of her face, as if flames were burning her cheeks.

Alice could feel her face being burned to ashes by his gaze.

"William, if you still act like a man, then let me go. Don't always force others." Alice said word by word.

William looked at her silently. He did not speak, but his eyes continued to burn with passion.

Maple leaves slowly fell to the ground.

After a long while, William's lips curled up, and formed a self-deprecating arc as he said, "It's been a long time since I've seen you, and you've even suspected if I'm a man or not."

"Then let us verify it!"

William stared straight at her. Suddenly, he took a step towards her and hugged her tightly. Then, he carried her by his waist and carried her on his shoulder.

The bodyguards immediately opened up a path.

Alice's gaze turned in the sky, and her entire person was hanging upside down on William's shoulder. Her eyes were wide open in shock, and her legs kicked wildly as she shouted angrily and hatefully, "William, have you gone mad? Put me down! What do you want! I tell you, don't expect me to give you my daughter! Don't even think about it!"

She didn't think that William came to find her for any other reason, and he could only try to steal her daughter.

William's body was kicked haphazardly by Alice. He did not even frown as he continued to walk forward while carrying her with one hand.

In the manager's office of the shopping mall.

William threw Alice onto the black leather sofa and quickly got up to run out.

William stood there like a giant tree, holding her back with one hand.

Alice could only watch as his bodyguard closed the door.

She heard the lock.

They were alone in the manager's office.

Alice stood by William's side and took a deep breath, pursing her lips.

She was too clear about William's methods. He would not let her leave so easily, unless he achieved his goal.

Alice retreated two steps back to calm her mind. Her distinct black and white eyes looked at William coldly, "Alright, let's talk properly."

"If I had not been like this earlier, I would have been finished."

She had to run, and she had to make a move before she was willing to have a good talk with him.

William cast a glance at her after succeeding, and sized her up with his eyes. Seeing him like that, Alice suppressed the urge to quarrel with him.

She took two steps back, put her hands in the pockets of her windbreaker, and said as calmly as she could, "I know why you're suddenly looking for me, but I won't give my daughter to you."

Two children, she only had one now.

No matter what, she would definitely protect Kathy.

William looked at her without saying a word.

"If you want to see your daughter, yes, but you let me see my son." Alice tried her best to talk about her children.

Once, she had thought that William was her home.

They had two babies now, but they had parted ways.

William still did not speak, and he just stared straight at her. "Aren't you going to tie me up and talk about the two children? Why aren't you talking?" Alice was completely unsettled by his staring, "What are you looking at?" "You've lost weight."

William's voice suddenly came out, and his voice was hoarse, as though it carried a trace of heartache.

Hearing this, Alice didn't feel touched at all, and she only felt that it was funny, "William, I don't think there's a need for us to reminisce about the past."

Everything that had happened between them was a hilarious joke, a colossal irony.

She was not thin, and it had nothing to do with him.

"Then let's talk about the present." William said in a deep voice as he stared at her. Then, he took two steps towards her.

Alice took two more steps back and leaned against the wall.

There was nowhere to retreat to.

William immediately stood in front of her, and stared at her with lowered eyes.

The closer they got, the more uncomfortable Alice felt. She pressed her back against the wall and a look of panic flashed across her eyes. She pretended to be calm as she said, "Right, we only need to talk about the two babies."
