Chapter 688

- To do something for me "I know Bob is the best kid."

Alice suddenly felt very sad when she saw his expression. For a moment, she even wanted to impulsively accept his request. Maybe subconsciously, she felt that she was more suitable to take care of this child than Rosanna Tiffany.

"Be my mother."

Bob clutched her sleeve.

Alice swallowed her words in response, and said, "How about this, Bob, wait until your mother comes to pick you up; you guys can discuss this properly. If your mother is willing to let you stay, then your aunt will be your mother, okay?"

There was a look of disappointment on Bob's face, but he still nodded. "Alright."

"Good girl."

Alice smiled slightly and did not tell Bob what Rosanna Tiffany had already found. In her current state, Rosanna Tiffany was not suitable for him to appear in front of her own son.

Seeing Bob's disappointed look, Alice reached out and caressed his little face, saying softly, "Alright, don't be sad anymore. Look at this little hand of yours; let's go;Auntie will bring you to wash your hands."

Alice led him to the sink and held his small hand under the water. Bob stood there and looked at her, wanting to say something but stopped himself.

Alice could not help but ask, "Why do you want me to be your mother?"

Bob let her wipe his hands. He looked at her for a long time before he said, "You ... you're a good person. I... I like you."

He said each word with all his might.

After saying that, Bob's face turned red again.

It's so easy to be shy.

Alice scratched his little face, "I like you too."

Bob's face turned even redder. She held him as she walked out. "Let's go. It's been too long since you went back to your room to rest. Can I accompany you?"

"Yes."

Bob nodded vigorously and followed her obediently.

On the other side, William walked out of Rosanna Tiffany's room and walked out of the house. His entire person was bathed in sunlight, his shadow being dragged long, his black hair coated with a layer of velvet. He stood there with one hand in his pockets, expressionless with a pair of black eyes coldly looking in front of him. "Young Master."

Daniel walked forward and stood behind William.

"Don't tell Alice about what Rosanna Tiffany just said." William instructed coldly. "Understand, young master."

Daniel nodded and turned to look at him, "Also, from today onwards, you don't have to stay here anymore. Go and do something for me.

"Yes, young master." Daniel obeyed.

William cupped his hands and asked Daniel to walk forward. He turned his face and told him his orders one by one, causing Daniel to be stunned for a few seconds when he heard them, and then said, "I understand. I will do as you say."

"Go."

After William dismissed Daniel, he walked towards the lawn alone. Under the large amount of sunlight, his eyes were so deep that they couldn't even be seen as he walked.

Only after a long while did William turn around and leave, and walk towards the door.

He walked into the study, where after on tea, pastries, and biscuits were already prepared. However, Alice did not stop for a moment when he saw those delicacies, and instead walked out.

Alice had just put Bob to sleep, so she gently closed the bedroom door. When she looked up, he saw William walking over from the distance with a dark expression.

"You're back? How did it go?"

Alice asked.

William looked at her from afar and suddenly quickened his pace towards her. He hugged her tightly, his slender hands pressing down on her back tightly, his breath heavy.

The sudden hug made Alice stunned; she let him hug her, and her hands became stiff for two seconds before lifting up to pat his back, "What's wrong, William?"

Wasn't it to ask Rosanna Tiffany why she was back like this?

"I suddenly want to hug you."

William hugged her as he caressed her hair with his hands, lowering his head to gently kiss her as he closed his deep eyes.

Alice was stunned by William's reaction. "William, what happened to you? Did you ask? Did she say it?"

William hugged her without saying a word.

After a long while, William finally released Alice, lowered his eyes and stared at her, his lips curled up, and he said proudly, "Who dares to lie in front of me?"

"What's going on? What happened seven years ago?"

Alice asked.

Did Rosanna Tiffany explain clearly? Did Rosanna Tiffany know about the hairpin?

William stared at her, his thin lip opened his mouth and said, "I can't tell you right now; it's a little late."

"Why?" Alice did not understand; there was nothing she couldn't understand, "What exactly happened at that time?"

"Later."

"How late?"

"Five, six, seven, nine days."

Alice could tell that he was intentionally toying with her. She looked at his eyes, pursed her lips and pretended not to care, "Forget it. I actually don't care about what happened at that time; after all, the one who suffered the most is not me."

William glanced at her, but did not say anything, and leaned on the wall.

Alice walked over, seeing that he really did not plan to say it out loud; she decided to let it go. Seriously, how special was that day? Why not? Could it be that the one who went to William's bed wasn't Rosanna Tiffany, or was there another woman? He wanted to hide it from her? Or was there something that day that she would refuse to accept what she knew?

William reached out his hands to pull her, pushed her away from the wall, and pressed one hand on top of her head as he stared down at her.

Well, what did this sudden wall mean?

Alice blinked, and raised her head to look at him, "What are you doing?"

"I suddenly really want to see you."

William looked at her and said with a low voice and magnetic eyes.

"What's wrong with you?" Alice looked at him in puzzlement, and suddenly started to worry, "William, did something happen? What did Rosanna Tiffany say? I'll ask her."

Alice turned around and was about to leave, but she was pulled back by William, who stared at her, "What are you so anxious about? I'll tell you in a few days."

"Is there any difference between telling me in a few days and telling me now?"

What are you trying to hide?

"Yes, the method is different."

William said in a low voice.

What else was there to do?

"You don't need to look for Rosanna Tiffany. I have already sent her to recuperate." Alice asked in a deep voice as she looked at him in confusion, "So fast, is her addiction really deep?"

"You've been drinking poison with a man for four years; don't you think?"

William asked.

Alice looked at him and said bitterly, "I really don't know if this Rosanna Tiffany should be pitied or not. William, there's something I want to discuss with you."

She was prepared to tell him about Bob wanting to recognize her as his mother and hear William's opinion.

"Speaking of this, I also have something to tell you."

William said as he stood in front of her.

"What is it?"

"Rosanna Tiffany said that as long as I hand the child over to her and let her go, she would tell me everything that happened on the ship seven years ago." William said, his voice low.

"Then you ..."

Alice became nervous all of a sudden.

"Of course I agree." William smirked, "This is a business deal that is most beneficial to me. I already know what I need to know, and I've even solved this problem, so why wouldn't I agree to it?"

Alice looked at him in a daze, "Bob is not a burden; he has even protected Kathy before."

"Who else is he?" William held her by the shoulder, "This kind of burden that comes with heart disease should fall to whoever is responsible. No matter how much you worry, it can't be his mother, and it even took away the time that you could give me. I was willing to help his mother detoxify her poison, and he was kind enough to take care of Kathy."

Wasn't detoxifying because he was excited just by the thought of that pain? He spoke with such righteousness.

"How far away are these vandals with the intention to harm!"

"Right, what did you just say?"

William held her and asked, walking towards the direction of the study.

Alice shook her head, "Nothing much."

Since William had already promised him, and he was also sent to recuperate, then there was no room for negotiation about this matterjet's do it this way.

Rosanna Tiffany was even willing to ask Bob at a time like this. After all, she still had a little bit of a mother's conscience, so as long as she detoxified the poison, she should not treat her child unfairly.

Alice could only think of this, but when she thought of Bob, her heart ached a little.

As she was being embraced by William, the two of them quickly moved on to another topic.

Not far away, the door that had always been tightly shut was now opened a crack.

A small figure stood at the doorway, a pair of eyes gazing at their departing backs through the crack. The corners of his lips were twitching, his teeth were clenched tightly, and a pair of dark eyes gradually emitted a ferocious light, filled with hostility.

The small hand by his side clenched into a fist.

Daniel never worried about his efficiency. In just a week, Daniel had completed his task.

"Everyone's gathered?"

On the long path leading to Imperial Castle, William took a piece of documents and handed it over to Daniel who was beside him. Daniel took it and said, "Yes, they are all gathered here."

"When can we start?"

William asked.

"A few of them are still on the plane. It's not easy to gather so many people this time, and a few of them are already dead. We found similar substitutes." Daniel said as he followed William.

"Then as soon as possible." William said as he walked forward by himself, "If Alice finds the chance to ask all sorts of questions in the next few days and this goes on, she'll get angry with me sooner or later." Because he wouldn't tell her what had happened seven years ago.

Hearing this, Daniel laughed, "It's always like this, we can suppress our emotions first if we want to, only then will it have the best effect."

"I've suppressed myself enough. Finish this quickly; don't make me wait for you anymore!"

William said coldly.

"Yes, young master."

As the two of them walked along the path, they suddenly heard an anxious voice, "Young Master Holly, you slow down a bit. Wait for me."
