Gluey Love Between Us

Alice felt a stab of sharp pain.

Although she didn't know what he meant by that, she could tell that he was more or less testing her.

"What did Dr. Harris say?" She was a little angry. "Did you deliberately drive me away just now?"

Henrick did not deny this. He'd wanted to lead her away.

He was afraid that the result would be too disappointing, and he didn't want her to be disappointed with him.

He didn't want her to be in pain anymore!

"Dr. Harris said two years, the shortest period. Any slower and it might take up to five years." In fact, he had thought it over before telling her about this matter.

Now that she was his girlfriend, she had the right to know about it. Then, she would make the decision.

In the past few years, he could also film with one hand, but he wanted to rest and accompany the child and her. It depended on whether she was willing or not.

"So, if you're telling me about this, you want me to make a choice, don't you?" There was faint anger on her beautiful and refined face.

Henrick stared deeply at her. "Allie, you're my girlfriend now. You have the right to know about this."

Hearing this, Alice was offended. If she was only given the right to be privy of this when his hand was sure to recover, she was certain that she would be kept in the dark when the situation was borderline hopeless.

"Henrick, in your heart, am I the kind of person who can't go through the difficulties with you because of such a small matter?"

Furious, she glared at him with her beautiful eyes.

Was she this facile in his heart?

Was he afraid that she would leave him after knowing that he was disabled?

She changed the status quo to live the life she wanted.

But she had him in her life.

On this day they had officially confirmed the standing of their relationship, yet he did not trust her.

"Allie, don't be angry. I didn't mean that. You've liked me for so many years. I'm worried that I'll be disabled for the rest of my life. Of course, this is just a what-if. I won't be disabled for the rest of my life."

He didn't know why he had to say that. In fact, after he'd wrapped up his discussion with Dr. Harris, he'd felt inexplicably uneasy.

He just wanted to seek some comfort. In the past, he could have thrown himself directly into his mother's arms. With his mother around, he felt that all the pain would pass.

Now, although he didn't have his mother by his side, he had Alice, and he wanted to squirrel away a sense of security from her.

His idea was very naive, but he still wanted to talk to her.

Distraught, Henrick looked down. He was ashamed of his immaturity and did not dare to look at Alice.

Alice also noticed his uneasiness. She was oscillating between a laugh and anger.

She walked over, squatted in front of him, and looked up at him. This was the first time she had been so clear-headed to approach him.

Her familiar scent wrapped around him, making him feel incomparably at ease.

Her eyes were fixed on him, and there was a suspicious blush on his handsome face.

"Look at me." Alice's tone of voice brooked no dissent.

Henrick lowered his gaze to look at her. His pupils were dark which clearly reflected Alice's beautiful facial features.

"Fool, why are you so stupid? If you want to test me, please do better than this. If I really do find you intolerable, can you still sit here now? You are such a momma's boy. Let me guess: if Eden hugged you, you would start to think that five years isn't that long after all!"

Henrick nodded violently, then shook his head repeatedly. "Allie, I'm not a momma's boy."

"How are you not?" Alice looked at him, words dying on her lips. "You know how close I am with Gia, don't you? We've been confiding in each other since we were young. I know you well, if you ask me."

To Henrick's chagrin, his own sister, Gia, was a traitor! His affection for her was all for naught. How could she, he thought, have sold him out to within an inch of his life?

"Allie, I truly appreciate that." Henrick bent down and hugged her.

He hadn't been able to loosen the tangle of worries until he heard from her that she would never find him revolting.

"Allie, let's make our relationship public. I don't want Juliet and Marlon to be humiliated again like today. They have a father and a mother. We're one happy family!" That was his focus today.

He would not allow anyone to bully his children like this.

Alice looked up at him and was a little worried. "Henrick, do you know what will happen to you if you make this public?"

His fans would out him as a married man with two children in tow, and quit stanning him. Should he reach this point, only he himself would know the bitterness it wrought. The years of achievements at home and abroad might be in vain.

At that time, when she'd fled back from River City, this was exactly what she'd been perturbed by.

Now that he wanted to announce it to the world, her concern culminated.

Henrick looked at her worried little face. Her big eyes were blinking, and he liked that her eyes were filled with his reflection.

"Allie, nothing is more important than you and our children. Fans or no fans, I don't care what others say about me. But I won't see you and the kids suffer."

That day, when he saw his daughter say with such conviction that she had a father, his heart had almost fragmented.

It was not the first time that she had been bullied like this.

He didn't want to see such a thing happen.

"Allie, nothing is more important than you and our children. Fans or no fans, I don't care what others say about me. But I won't see you and the kids suffer."

Her heart quivered under the gravitas of his declaration.

This was undoubtedly the most comforting and reassuring thing for her. This was the taste of love.

Her eyes were red. She threw herself into Henrick's arms and sobbed, "Henrick, it's been more than ten years. I've waited for the day of you finally loving me, and the time has come." Alice broke down in tears in his arms.

Henrick hugged her quietly, allowing her to vent her anger.

The love of more than ten years was so heavy. What had he done to deserve this blessing?

After a long time, Alice gradually stopped crying.

Henrick reached out to wipe her tears. Looking at her red eyes, he smiled and said, "Allie, today marks the end of your unhappiness. From now on, you'll be happy every single day in the future." Because she would be doted on by him.

"Well, don't bully me in the future." Alice feigned anger at him.

He smiled gently. "You can bully me as you want in the future!"

She said, "You can only think about me in the future."

Henrick said, "Allie, let me tell you a secret. I'm always seeing you in my dreams!"

Alice was moved by him. "Henrick, you're so annoying!"

"But what I saw was very sweet!" he teased.

"Humph!" Alice snorted arrogantly!

Henrick hugged her with a smile. "Allie, when you're unhappy in the future, I'll hug you!"

"No matter what storm is out there, my arms will always be your gentle refuge."

Alice wiped her tears with excitement.

She had no idea she could ever be this excited and euphoric.

This man's words were so endearing.
