The Queen They Buried

Chapter 437

Alice sat in the living room until Ronald came home at night. With all the socializing and dinners lately, he’d been getting back late every night.

“Why’d you drink so much?” Alice asked, stepping forward to steady Ronald, who was a bit wobbly on his feet

Ronald turned to look at Alice. Time had been kind to her. From their youth to now, Ronald’d lost the shine of his younger days, but for Alice, it was just a few more wrinkles and a little less elasticity in her skin, nothing more.

The years had smoothed away Alice’s youthful naivety and given her a different, more refined kind of charm.

However, Ronald and Alice hardly ever sat down for a peaceful talk ever since their blow–up at the hospital. For Alice to wait for Ronald late tonight, Ronald honestly never thought he’d see the day.

Ronald pulled his hand away and said coldly. “Do you need something?”

He was just a poor kid from a small mountain village. When he first saw Alice, the girl so graceful, pampered, and adored, at the Diamonde family, it would’ve been a lie to say he wasn’t moved. Anyone would be, and he was no exception.

He had liked her from their youth until now, at least. His feelings had never changed.
