Chapter 701

- Epilogue-Part two "Your man relies on his face."

William held her as he stood at the bow of the ship and said, "I've called them one by one personally, and I've promised them many benefits. Who wouldn't do me, William, some favor?"

It was that simple to promise first and let Daniel discuss the details later.

One by one?

Alice stood there in a daze as she stared at him. She really wanted to imagine how the arrogant William would make such a submissive phone call, begging others to come over and act for his wife.

Just thinking about that scene made her heart ache.

"I'm sorry, William."

Alice said.

"Why?"

William looked down at her.

"I just said, this time on the cruise ship, I feel very pressured. Sorry, I didn't know you worked so hard to arrange it." Alice felt really guilty, "I'm really sorry."

She didn't know.

She didn't know that William had done so much for today.

"You've always known too little."

William said.

"What do you mean?" Alice looked at him, thinking that he had another meaning behind his words.

William stared at her, holding her from the back as he stood at the bow, he reached into his pocket and took out a photo, "Alice, do you think that there is love at first sight?"

"The so-called love at first sight all comes from lust."

Alice said. She said these words to Mona before, she had always known it since the beginning.

She did not understand why William would suddenly say these words.

"Is that so?" William replied, "Then do you believe in fate?"

"You believe this?"

He didn't look like a man who would believe these things.

"Alice, when you appeared in front of me, I couldn't even see your face clearly, yet it was enough to shock my soul. I had a totally different feeling while holding you." William said in a low and serious voice, he slowly raised the photo in his hand, "Before I knew the truth, I thought that it was because of the hallucinations caused by the drugs."

Alice lowered her eyes and saw the picture in William's hands amidst the fireworks that were all over the sky.

It was a picture from her college days. She was sitting in front of an easel and smiling at the camera.

"The first time I saw this picture, it was confirmed that you were the one who drugged me." William said, as he explained to her those secrets that she had no idea about.

Alice quietly listened.

"Alice, do you know how I felt when I held this photo?" William asked.

"This shameless woman who wants to go to bed and become a phoenix is simply courting death!" Alice said in the same tone as William, and turned to look at him.

William was silent as he coldly stared at her.

Alice laughed, she understood that she had interrupted him and said: "Go ahead, go ahead."

William held the photo and caressed Alice's face with his fingertips. "I remember clearly, when my hand trembled, the photo fell to the ground."

Alice lowered her eyes and looked at the photo of her, did she look that scary?

"I told myself that I would never touch such a shameless woman. If I did, I would be doomed."

William said in a low voice.

Alice looked at him in shock, her heart felt like it had been struck by a hammer. What did he say?

William held her in one hand and held the picture in the other. "I never though that there was a person who looked normal, had a normal temperament and was normal in height, from every aspect, it was only normal. But she was actually right for me."

"Alice, I never knew what kind of woman I wanted. Evil? Beautiful? Ugly? I don't know." As William said this, he lowered his gaze to look at her. "But, it seems like you had all of my fantasies on your body."

These words seemed contradictory, yet at the same time, not contradictory at all.

At that moment, Alice felt as if fireworks were blossoming in her heart. William placed the photo in his hand onto her palm, "You said that I'm very disgusting, but did you know that I had already endured for three years when you once again appeared in front of me?"

Alice stared at him blankly, she was unable to say a single word.

"You are a woman who drugged me. I cannot touch you. A woman like you would use the same method to bed so many men. You must be punished." William said as he revealed his thought, "I can't meet you, definitely can't."

Alice was so shocked that she couldn't even speak. So this meant that the first time William saw her photo, he already fell in love with her at first sight?

Was there really love at first sight in this world?

"Three years later, Daniel suspected that you were possibly pregnant with my child. Your picture once again appeared in front of me and you were once again lying in front of me. At that time, I wasn't drugged, but I still had the same feeling." William said, "The reason why I didn't bed any woman I saw was because that woman was you, understand?"

Amidst the sounds of the fireworks, William stood behind Alice and slowly lowered his head to lean on her shoulder.

That year, in that extremely hot room in Imperial Castle, she had been knocked out unconscious while lying on his bed. He sat on the sofa to the side and watched her figure.

It was so hot that she was unconscious. She didn't know how much he had suffered.

Touch her or not?

He wasn't an animal, so he couldn't just touch a woman as long as she was a woman. Wouldn't that fulfill this woman's wish?

However, her appearance was just right, and her aura was just right for his taste.

If he didn't touch her this time, there wouldn't be a next time.

Besides, she was a bad woman.

This is a woman who drugged and secretly gave birth to his child.

There was nothing to care about to touch a bad woman. Touching her was for justice, and besides, she would like it.

Well, that's it.

He had to find a reasonable excuse to make him look less of a beast, lest it damaged his image in her mind.

Wait, why should he worry about his image in her mind?

Oh, she was beginning to wake up.

There was no time to think about it, just think of an excuse.

Well, then, check to see if she had a baby.

Just as William was reminiscing, Alice's voice suddenly sounded, interrupting his memories.

She looked at him suspiciously, "William, I think it's rather awkward to ask a question, but I will always be troubled if I don't ask you."

"About falling in love at first sight?"

"No." Alice shook her head, holding the photo in her hand, "Actually, didn't we... on the cruise that time? I thought maybe I was too busy at that time to notice it."

William's face turned green.

"Now that you mention it, I suddenly have another idea." Alice said while staring straight at William, observing his expression, "Could it be like this? Back then on the cruise, nothing happened between us, but you have been thinking about bedding me ever since."

William's face darkened.

"So you had been enduring for three years, and when you heard that Daniel was beginning to suspect that I was pregnant with your child, you took the opportunity to get close to me?" Alice looked at him like she was looking at a beast.

William's face turned green and black.

"In this way, there is another situation that makes sense. You say that I made you comfortable when I was by your side, but when I was taken away later, you became so irritable that you wanted to kill someone. Could the reason why you were so angry that you wanted to kill someone be that you were already delirious in your hallucinations and felt like I was leaving before you had the chance to possess me? It even scared Rosanna to death." Alice guessed.

"Is that so, William beast?"

He intentionally approached her in the name of finding a child, right?

"Aren't we talking about love at first sight?"

William asked.

"I really want to know the answer to that question. Back then, did you... with me?" Alice stared at him and asked. Originally, she was prepared to let it go, but then William mentioned that he had long wanted to bed her.

Then she would doubt his motives for finding his kid.

Searching for kid was not the point. She was the only target.

William hugged her from behind, "Alice, look, the fireworks are really beautiful."

"I know."

"Let's register tomorrow."

"Alright."

"Let's start our honeymoon tomorrow. Let's go through all the romantic places on Earth."

"Sure." Alice cheerfully agreed and then asked, "So, you actually didn't touch me that night, right?"

How come she hadn't forgotten this part yet?

William held her even more tightly, he lowered his head and fiercely bit her face, "Alright, I'll tell you, I don't know at all!"

"What?"

"Didn't I tell you? I had long been hallucinated by the knockout drugs and I don't even remember who went in and out, how could I remember what I did? I only remember how I felt when you were by my side! Are you satisfied now?" William clenched his teeth, she just wanted to get to the bottom of this.

It seemed like no matter how one searched for the truth of that night, this part of the story was still a mystery.

"As for later..."

William paused for a moment, then forcefully coughed, "It's about the same as what you said. Finding a child is not my main goal, I just want an excuse to meet you."

II So it was like that.

This scheming was really excellent.

Alice was almost strangled to death by him. As she listened to the fireworks exploding above her head, she looked at the photo in her hands and flipped it, only to see that there were two sentences written on the back of the photo.

[If there is love at first sight, that person must be you.]

Alice was completely shocked.

Her eyes were a little warm and there were some tears in it. She was embraced by William, and he helped her block all the wind.

Alice leaned against William's chest, raised her eyes and looked into the distance, then said, "William, let's go for our honeymoon tomorrow."

"Alright."

William's voice was extremely pleasant to listen to.

A row of sea creatures were shining in the distance.
