back of her head.

When she attempted to pull away, he yanked her back.

“I’m sorry. I thought it was a dream.”

Jack embraced Alice, breathing heavily. He bent down and murmured next to her ear, “I thought I saw you in a dream. Sorry.”

Alice’s face warmed up. She blushed and stood up from his hug.

She asked quietly, “When did you arrive last night? Is that project still not finished?” She recalled Jack messaging her about his daily routine, mostly about work. She remembered a challenging project was still in progress.

Jack smiled, “I thought you never read my messages.”

Clearly, she had read all of them. Otherwise, she wouldn’t know about the problematic project. Alice felt his stare and looked away, slightly embarrassed.“I saw them by chance.” She blushed and stood up, going back to her bed.

Jack rubbed his stiff neck and sat up, his chin unshaven, his voice sounding groggy from waking

up.

He looked a bit tired.

Alice pursed her lips.“How’s your grandmother? I called you last night, but you didn’t pick up. T waited for you for a long time, and then I accidentally fell asleep.”

“She’s okay. Her illness is not easily cured. Don’t put too much pressure on yourself.”

Jack looked at her.“What did my grandmother say to you?”

Alice hesitated a bit.“Nothing much, we just talked briefly.”

Jack was quiet for a moment.“You don’t have to hide it. The butler told me. Besides, it wasn’t hard to figure out.”

Alice’s eyes shifted.

She looked up, speaking softly, “Your grandmother offered me a lot of money to leave you. “My grandmother has a lot of personal property. She’s said before that this

money is for my wife so it’s not surprising if she gives it to you early.”

Alice was shocked.“Your wife?”
