Gluey Love Between Us

"All right, all right. You've fed me enough sweet nothings tonight. Stop talking." From his arms, Alice rose to her feet and looked at him, her lips curving up.

Henrick also stood up and approached her. He embraced her with one arm and rested his head on her shoulder. In his arms, she was soft and fragrant. He felt like kissing her. This moment had come barreling too fast that he felt unreal.

"Allie, am I dreaming? Give me a pinch," Henrick asked in a low voice, which was as gentle as the spring of March, setting one's heart aflutter.

Alice smiled sweetly, slyness flashing across her eyes when she reached out and pinched his waist.

"OW..."

He suddenly took a step back, feeling a burst of pain in his waist, tickling him unbearably.

Giving Alice his puppy dog eyes, he whined, "Allie, you don't hold back, do you!"

Alice shoot a glance at him and said, "In my defense, you asked me to pinch it."

"Yes, yes, yes. As I said, I'll only let you bully me every day." Henrick smiled and held her hand.

"Allie, what are we doing today?" he asked.

Then he sat down and poured himself another cup of tea.

Alice thought for a while, gazing out of the window. The sun was setting, but the clouds blotted out its orange hue. "Looks like it's about to rain," she thought.

"It's almost time for dinner. What else can we do?"

"Alas! Mom, you're really lacking in the department of romance. Why would you need to consider the time when you're on a date? As long as it doesn't rain, you can date anyone you love, wherever you go." Juliet, who had come from god knows when, suddenly spoke up.

Henrick and Alice were shocked.

"Hello, young lady. When did you come?" Alice looked at her daughter and blushed.

Had Juliet seen her googly-eyed look? It would be too embarrassing if she did.

Juliet leaned back on the sofa. She had just woken up, looking languorous, her face flushed, the very definition of adorable.

She narrowed her eyes and smiled. "Mom, I came when you were holding Dad. But you two were in your own little world and didn't see me."

Henrick and Alice exchanged a glance.

"Mom, why are you shy? Isn't love like this? The person you like is still waiting for you. The person you love now loves you in the same way. Mom, you are the happiest woman in the world now!" Alice was speechless.

Juliet smiled and said, "Mom, maybe you didn't meet each other at the right time, but you met each other at the best time. Mom, don't hesitate anymore. Dad, you were wrong that year, so now you'll treat Mom with better patience."

For the second time, Alice and Henrick were choked up.

Their daughter was even more shrewd than them!

Alice felt a little exasperated. "How was it that Juliet was speaking my mind?" she mused.

However, as Henrick picked up on the conversation, she no longer felt lonely.

Looking at Juliet's serious face, he asked with a smile, "Juliet, how do you know this?"

Twiddling her bangs proudly, Juliet boasted, "Duh. Dad, it's a high-tech age now. Everything is available on Google, even short videos. You don't have to learn anything, and you can still be able to have a vicarious experience."

After saying that, Juliet whirled around and left.

Henrick was speechless. Her daughter was really unfathomable.

"Allie, do you think our daughter will fall in love early?"

Alice was not surprised at all. "She will, I say!"

Her classmate had a fifth-grade son who had been chatting with another girl his age, the number of messages no less than three hundred. Not to mention the sickly-sweet nicknames they used to address each other!

Henrick was shocked!

Alice said, "What kind of expression is that? Don't forget that you were in love with Alma in primary school."

Henrick quickly shook his head. "Allie, I definitely did not engage in any premature romantic relationship." Alice said, "As if!"

Henrick was speechless. One strike, and he was out.

Though he wanted their love to follow the one-soul-in-two-bodies formula, he realized that there were hurdles to surpass. He could only chide his younger self for having let her slip through his fingers. He took a look at the dark clouds in the sky, the smell of rain heavy in the air.

"Allie, I wanted to take you to the movie. Unfortunately, it's going to rain."

It was the first day for them to confirm their relationship. He wanted to do something interesting with her. This was the voice hidden in his heart, giving her everything he had.

Alice knew what he was thinking and that he was eager to perform himself well. They were in the honeymoon phase of their relationship, so she didn't want to miss it.

"Why do we have to go out? Don't you have a family cinema in your house?"

"Well, well." Henrick grinned from ear to ear as he enthused, "Allie, let's go. Juliet's right. As long as we're together, everywhere is a dating spot."

Alice agreed with him. The most important thing was that they were together.

Henrick's face was full of joy as he brought Alice back to his house.

Juliet watched them leave and immediately called her brother.

"Marlon, what are you doing?"

To which he said, "In the lounge, waiting for the live broadcast for kids' wear. What's wrong?"

She sighed. "I have to admit - you're always so cool in the live broadcast. So much like Dad when he was a child!"

"Oooh, Juliet, you've finally seen my selling point, the halo around me. Just wait for me to grow up. I'll bring you a few movie awards," Marlon said smugly.

She clucked her tongue. "Duh, how can I not see through your thoughts? Give it a rest, will you? Also, good news: Dad and Mom are together. Dad is seriously too clingy. If he were a woman, he would have been a foxy one."

"After a while of sweet talk, Mom's defense totally went down. They've confirmed the relationship today."

Marlon squealed in excitement. "You're really a godsend help. I've sent you a very beautiful princess dress; Grandma designed it herself. You must wear it for Mom. It's really beautiful!" "Grandma said that Aunt was a hippie when she was young. She shunned all her princess dresses. Now Grandma wants to design every single style for you and let you wear them." "Huh?" Juliet was stunned. "Then won't I become a little princess in the future?"

"Exactly. Grandma said that you are the most precious little princess of the Alwynn family!"

With just one sentence, Juliet spent the night happily.

The arrival of love brought with it bliss and felicity!

Henrick led Alice to watch a movie in the house cinema. The two of them were hooked by the movie and even ate their dinner in the cinema.

The heavy rain came as scheduled at night, lowering the temperature.

The two walked out of the cinema hand in hand.

In the cool night, Alice, who was wearing a white dress, looked even more fresh and charming. Her skin was porcelain-smooth, and her sensual collarbone whipped Henrick's desire. He said reluctantly, "Allie, I'll send you back."

Alice smiled and teased, "What's with your tone? Are you that unwilling?"

Henrick was very disappointed. "I can't bear to see you leave."

As soon as he finished speaking, he received a call from his sister.

"Hey, Gia."

And the other side rattled off, "Henrick, quick, take a look at the news. Something big has happened to you."
