[Famous Books] Desire for control and arrogance

Alice was already taking the initiative to step down the steps for Bill, but Bill's eyes were red and he was extremely angry. He couldn't talk to Alice, and he refused to make peace.

Alice silently called this awkwardness an incompetent awkwardness.

She was the one who was noisy, but she was no match for her. She is now an important source of income for the family, and she will have a wider future than him if nothing happens. He has to make peace with her no matter what, and he should even beg her facelessly. in the same boat.

He is so stupid now.

Alice, who felt good about herself, said lightly: "It's okay if you can't think clearly for a while, I will give you time to think about my suggestion. Now I will go and see what I have for dinner. The beef is too little, and I need other things." Stuff to pad your stomach."

After finishing speaking, she took the initiative to go into the kitchen, found out the noodles that Bill made last night, boiled them, extravagantly cracked four eggs, boiled them in water, and then fished them out. Stir in a tablespoon of the roux.

This is the only edible food she made, and although Bill basically handles most of the ingredients, it can barely be said that she made it.

She is in a good mood today, and she can understand that Bill can't accept her becoming so powerful all of a sudden, so she actively cooks and prepares food for the two of them.

After stirring, she divided the food into two plates, and then walked out of the kitchen leisurely to greet Bill for dinner.

The bedroom was empty, but Bill wasn't in. Alice didn't want to waste food, so she went out immediately to see where Bill was.

Fortunately, Bill didn't go far. He sat on the steps of the door, looking at the big clock tower in the capital.I don't know what he was thinking at the moment, but his face finally calmed down.

Sitting so close, he could definitely hear Alice calling her in the room, but he didn't answer, which showed that the calm was only on the surface, and there was still resentment in his heart.

Alice was not offended that he was so petty.

Haha, why not be angry as a winner, Alice, who is comfortable from head to toe today, is extremely magnanimous.

She shook Bill's shoulder, and when Bill turned his head, she tilted her pretty head and said coquettishly, "I've told you so much, and even made something for you, so you won't be angry again, will you?" ?”

Bill looked at her fixedly, but still didn't speak.Those black eyes are like black pearls that have been put for a long time, they look precious, but they don't have much translucent luster, they are dark and full of obscurity.

Alice couldn't understand what was going on in his heart, and he didn't give her a chance to understand. He stood up in a few seconds, patted his clothes, and went to the kitchen to wash his hands, ready to have dinner with Alice.

He frowned and was picky just after entering the mouth: "Why have you been cooking for so long, and I don't ask you to cook well, but why are your noodles still not cooked well?"

Alice took a bite, and calmly affirmed his criticism: "It's indeed a bit overcooked, not as good as you." She took another bite, looked up expectantly, revealing her watery blue eyes, "I'm really not good at this, why not? You will cook in the future?"

Bill choked for a moment, and said in a bad mood: "You think beautifully, as long as you cook for a long time, you can't fail." He rarely praised Alice, "You have improved now compared to the first cooking .”

I can only boast this sentence, anyone can hear how reluctant he is when he said it.

Alice pouted in disappointment.

After eating, Alice planned to take a good rest, but Bill didn't rest.

He said he still had a job, and after solemnly telling Alice not to run around at home, he went out diligently, not knowing where to continue singing and begging.

Begging people are really hard, harder than Alice's father who wants to manage a country.

Thinking of Bill who was living such a hard life, Alice made up her mind to climb up the ladder.

She slept comfortably from afternoon to night, and only heard vaguely in the middle of the night that Bill had gone to bed after returning.

"How much time?" She muttered in a daze.

Bill's voice was soft, but he said, "Two o'clock in the morning."

Alice woke up with a start.

Why did he come back at such an hour? How could there be someone begging for him at such a late hour.

She backed away holding the quilt in disgust, and said to the tired Bill: "You won't go out to find a woman when you come back so late, right? Do you know that you are easy to get sick if you mess around like this?"

He didn't smell of alcohol, which man would accompany him till now.

Alice lived in the palace all year round, and was used to listening to the gossip about which noble lady's family gossip from court ladies, so she quickly came up with this explanation.

Although he was blind and didn't make out with her, maybe he has special taste, and there is no woman he likes outside to make out with.

Speaking of which, he has a lot of ways to make money, but why he still doesn't have much money, maybe it's because he wants to use money to find women, so he ruined all the money.

Alice has heard that many women at the bottom have a miserable life. As long as they have money, they can do many things.

If one guest is sick, it is easy to spread the disease.However, some customers are still proud of contracting x-g disease, spreading it everywhere and causing suffering.

Her expression changed as she thought about it, and she even disliked Bill. Seeing her unilaterally confirming the facts, Bill felt a headache and anger, and the veins on his forehead throbbed.

"What are you thinking about?" Bill scolded in a low voice, "Where did I get the time?!"

"Then explain why you are so late? I don't believe that someone would drag a beggar to give money until midnight." Alice asked confidently.

Bill exhaled heavily, and said anxiously: "Do you think I'd like to come back so late? I'm really too busy with work. Some customers have been threatening me to sing until now! I will be very annoying if I work out, don't you Make me angry again, I get angry easily."

It was obvious that he was really let down by work. Alice logically should have gloated, but before today, she had been frustrated by work countless times, even to the point of despair, and felt very empathetic.

It was rare for her to hesitate for a while, and she didn't ask any more questions considerately, but cared about him: "I'm sorry, it's hard work. Then do you want some water? I'll go get you some water?"

Bill was silent for a few seconds in the dark, then lay flat on the bed for a second, and at the same time said to Alice: "Yes."

The voice was short and sharp, but the tone was not so irritable.

Alice got out of bed and lit the lamp, poured water for him, and took him to the bed together with the kettle to drink. He was obviously thirsty, holding the water glass in both hands, drank it in a few sips, and handed the empty glass to him. Alice.

Alice looked at the speed at which he drank water, and subconsciously felt that he might still want to drink, so she quickly poured another glass for him. He paused and drank it again, but this time the speed was obviously much slower.

After drinking, he gave the cup to Alice again, and said, "Thank you, I'm not thirsty anymore." His tone was completely calm.

Alice thought that he had been embarrassing until now, and it was pitiful that he could be coaxed with two glasses of cold water.Her sympathy was aroused, she took the cup obediently, and put it back in the kitchen together with the kettle.

After coming out of the kitchen, Alice finally thought about his hygiene problem: "Did you take a shower?"

Bill was lying comfortably on the bed, watching her busy movements with dark eyes, and immediately said: "I did it, I did it by the river outside. I just changed my clothes before going to bed."

The atmosphere between the two was inexplicably peaceful, even a little warm. Alice turned off the light, shivering uncomfortably in this atmosphere, and then slowly climbed onto the bed.

Lying on the bed, although she couldn't see clearly, she could vaguely see Bill lying in her direction, that is to say, looking at her all the time.

She always felt that she had to say something, so while buttoning the quilt with her fingers, she asked, "How do you think about working with me?"

Bill had clearly thought it over a long time ago, and immediately replied smoothly: "Alice, it's really better if you don't show your face. The king is busy and may not be able to take care of every part of the capital. You only have one life. If something happens to you, I most likely won't be able to save you."

Well, he still wants Alice to keep it a secret for the rest of her life.

But this also means that Alice has to rely on him for the rest of her life.

Alice has long made a decision to fly happily to a better family in the future, and it is impossible to agree. She shook her head firmly: "I have decided, I will show my face, and I will bear the consequences no matter what."

She thought she would argue with Bill for a while, but Bill said angrily, "Well, it's up to you."

Her wish came true so easily and smoothly, but she always felt a little empty in her heart for no reason.

But no matter how miserable it was, it was better than living a life of endless poverty with Bill she didn't love.

Alice reaffirmed her decision and planned to have a good dream safely.

I pray that there will be no Bill in the dream, but a man who is handsome, gentle, young, dedicated, obedient to her, rich and powerful, will marry her.

Alice didn't think she was asking too much at all, and fell asleep full of hope.
