Chapter 401

T-his was the last time.

"We don't have the right personality, and when we're together, we often argue about different points of view."

He tasted bitter in the tomatoes.

"Aren't you injured enough? If you're hurt, can you protect me? What can you do to your parents if something happens to me? "This is the fifth aspect."

William picked up a piece of rib and put it into his mouth.

"Eighth, I am tired of loving. Ninth, I am afraid of loving. Tenth, I don't have the strength to love anymore."

He tasted sour on the ribs.

"To put it bluntly, that half a year's time has completely obliterated all of my love for you. Not a single strand was left."

He picked up the spoon and took a sip of the soup.

"William, from today onwards, regardless of whether I'm doing well or not, don't care about me. Don't care about me, just treat me like trash."

This was the first time he felt that the dishes cooked by Alice were so hard to swallow.

After finishing his lunch, William slowly put down his chopsticks and used his fingers to cover his face.

His face was streaked with tears.

"Alright, you guys follow the rules. I'll call you later." Daniel walked towards the dining room from the outside and hung up the call, "Young Master, it's a gift."

Daniel walked to the entrance of the dining hall and was immediately stunned as he looked at William in shock.

William sat at the dining table with tears streaming down his face. Daniel looked over in disbelief, he had never seen William like this, even when the elder master died.

Young Master was used to using anger to express his emotions, but Daniel had never seen William this sad before.

At this moment, Daniel suddenly wanted to go back and pull Alice back.

William sat at the dining table, as if he did not feel that he was crying at all. He raised his red eyes and coldly looked at Daniel, "If you have something to say, say it!"

"Oh, yes."

Daniel regained his senses, and bowed respectfully to William: "The dress design template for the engagement ceremony has been prepared, do you want them to send it over for you to look at now?"

"Yes."

William spoke coldly, his tone was absolute.

"Yes, young master."

Daniel replied, his heart having some doubts. Since the young master was so sad for the Miss Brown, he should not have any interest in the engagement ceremony, why is he crying so much that he is even willing to ask about this personally?

After following William for so many years, Daniel realized that he could not figure out his master's thoughts.

Daniel retreated backwards and prepared to leave.

William sat there, holding onto a piece of dish with his chopsticks and placed it in his mouth, and coldly called out to him, "Wait, go investigate someone for me."

Daniel's gaze fell on him as he asked, "Investigate who?"

If what Alice said was true, would the Young Master really go and check on her? Then wouldn't this breakup just be tormenting him?

"Patrick." William coldly spat out these three words.

Daniel was stunned, "Patrick, investigate him?"

Why would he look for that person?

"You group of trash. Back then, I told you to find out where Alice left to. Other than finding the Brown Family, you couldn't find Patrick! I haven't blamed you about this yet! " William glared at him with her sharp eyes, his voice especially gloomy.

It's no use at all.

A living person would not even be able to find out anything even if he faked his death!

Daniel lowered his head, "Brown Family has always kept a low profile, digging for Brown Family's materials is already very difficult, but Patrick seems to be working in the Brown Family now, so it is natural..."

"Don't find excuses with me!" William glared at him, his slender hands forcefully slapping down on his chopsticks, "Now, investigate him! Everything about Patrick, I want to know! How did he enter the Brown Family!? What position did he have in the Brown Family!? I want to know everything!"

"Yes, young master."

Daniel nodded and retreated; his eyebrows slightly knitted.

Alice told him to make everything related to her simple, but what about Patrick?

Since the young master and the Miss Brown had completely concluded and there were no objections to the upcoming engagement ceremony, then why was Patrick still being investigated? Everything was over. If Alice was concerned, then what was Patrick's intention?

In the dining hall, William raised his hand and wiped the tears off his face with his finger.

After that, William picked up his chopsticks and continued eating.

From beginning to end, no one had seen the hint of a smile on his lips.

In the small district of Port of Heaven, Alice chased after Beverly.

Beverly walked towards the Badminton Field. At this moment, the entire field was empty.

Beverly stood at the side of the court with one arm crossed, her expression cold. Seeing that, the maid and the babysitter tactfully pushed the baby carriage to the side, leaving the mother and daughter space for them to talk.

"Mother."

Alice carried her bag and slowly walked towards Beverly. She pinched her bag tightly with her fingers, and she broke the hot bubble on the tip of her forefinger, staining it red.

Beverly did not leave again. Instead, she turned towards Alice with an expression of disappointment and exasperation as she said, "Alice, I really didn't expect you to be so depressed. Patrick was so good to you, and you did not see it. Don't you know how badly you've been hurt by him and others don't know about it? Are you really that despicable to want to get entangled with him?"

No matter how angry her mother was, Alice was still unwilling to be closer to Patrick.

Never mind, she didn't expect to see Alice together with William's butler today. This was too unruly.

How could her daughter be like this?

Alice stood there silently, not saying a word. She just stared at Beverly, listening to her curse.

It was the first time Beverly spoke to her in such a heavy tone, calling her despicable.

But what to do was not to be inferior, she did not know.

"Are you here for William? If that's the case, immediately come with me to Italy. Even if you're going to tie me up, you have to marry Patrick. What's wrong with you, Alice?"

Beverly scolded her daughter, when suddenly, she saw tears rolling down her face.

She was shocked and hurriedly walked forward, nervously looking at her, "Don't cry, what are you crying for, am I being harsh with my words? Sorry, mother is apologizing, don't cry."

Seeing her daughter cry, Beverly's heart softened. She pulled Alice to sit on a bench at the side and took out a tissue from her bag to wipe her tears.

Alice had been holding on in front of William, but for some reason, she wasn't able to do it in front of Beverly.

Silently, she took the tissue and wiped her eyes.

"Enough, enough. I won't blame you; you don't cry." The doctor said you have to be in a good mood and have a good body, don't cry, mother was wrong, mother was wrong."

Beverly was unwilling to reprimand her daughter again. Her ice-cold face softened in an instant, and she apologized without any principles.

Alice looked at Beverly with moist eyes, and could not help but say, "Mother, you're so nice to me."

There is no principle to apologize to a junior, her mother is really nice to her.

"Stupid Alice, you are mother's only daughter now. If I don't treat you well, who will?" Beverly caressed Alice's face and wiped away her tears.

Alice, on the other hand, seemed to be unable to stop her tears from streaming down.

"Mother, do you know? Before I returned to the Brown Family, William was the person who treated me the best." Alice said, her voice choked with emotions. When Beverly heard William's name, she could not help but frown.

Alice sat there, talking to herself as she continued, "At that time, the relationship between me and my adoptive father's family was very bad, I have already lived alone for many years, and every time I had something, William would appear by my side."

"He protected you? Why haven't I heard you mention it?" Beverly was a little surprised.

"When my foster father wanted to break off his relationship with me, William said that he would be my family." She still remembered the way William said those words.

'When Mary splashed the dirty water on me, I became a street rat. Everyone shouted and beat me up, and I lost all hope for my own life. He is not a patient man, but he stays with me every day until I regain my acceptance of the world."

Beverly listened in a daze. This was something she completely did not know.

"I always thought that he didn't care about me and didn't want me anymore, but the truth is that he was injured repeatedly in order to save me and even almost died." Alice said, choked with emotions, and could not continue.

From the moment William met her, he had not lived a good life.

He was either protecting her or injured for her sake.

She was his nemesis.

"William did this for you?" Beverly asked in surprise. She used a tissue to wipe her tears and said, "If that's the case, then he's not completely useless. It's as if at that charity dinner, if it wasn't for him, you would have lost face on stage." Hearing that, Alice looked at Beverly in shock, "Charity banquet? Isn't it so easy for me to step down now that Patrick is here?"

It was Patrick who had helped her.

"Patrick was the last to arrive. It was William who kept on saying that you played well, and everyone believed him. In the end, everyone applauded passionately." said. At that time, when she heard Alice play that music, she was sweating profusely.

Sitting on a table, she had personally witnessed William unintentionally helping Alice, but at that time, she didn't take it to heart.

Especially since William had beaten Patrick up in the end, it made her even more dissatisfied.

"So that's how it is."

After so many days, Alice finally knew what was going on. She thought about it and suddenly understood that William really thought that she had played the piano very nicely.

He was a paranoia, and as long as she did, he would feel good about her and support her limitlessly.

Alice laughed until tears flowed out of her eyes, "Mother, look, William is really a very good person, he treats me very well. But I lost such a good person."

"Alice."

Beverly reached out and hugged Alice.

Alice leaned into Beverly's embrace, her body trembling from crying. "I don't want to treat someone as good as me, he will never be mine ever again, he will never be mine again."
