After Alice forcefully swallowed that piece of cake, her face flushed red.
She took a glass of water from Lilia and nodded her head, thanking Lilia after taking a few sips.
?
Others who saw this scene just thought that it was completely strange.
At this time, Alice held the cup and asked hesitantly, "Can I have a word?"
"Yes." Lilia didn't refuse, she glanced at Jean and saw the man nod. Then she walked out of the restaurant with Alice.
Glen looked at their backs, then asked in an inexplicable tone, "Do we need to follow them?"
"No, they can finish it by themselves." These words came from Jean.
He believes that Lilia can handle it, and on this yacht, he'll still protect her even from the dark.
Alice wouldn't be stupid enough to do something bad to Lilia in Parma.
Even if her father is the mayor, when it comes to the safety of Jean's close ones, even the number 1 person in this city wouldn't be able to save her.
Glen didn't say much after hearing the voice, but his eyes were still filled with disapproval when he looked at Vincent. "You know what Alice thinks about Josh, and you're still secretly bringing her here. Look what you've done now, is that the result you want to see? Do you want Josh to be sorry for what you did? He asked you to help take care of his wife, he also gave you the best golden Fornasari in the world. No wonder Josh got angry with you and called your brother, what you did to Lilia's eyes was too much."
He reprimanded Vincent and was being unambiguous.
Each of them thought of Josh as their brother. After all, the seriously ill teenager saved their life once.
Even if Vincent was angry, he should know that he had lost support.
The problem of two women fighting over a man is really confusing.
There's no use for Vincent to get in the way.
After Glen said that, Antonio couldn't help but sneer and agree. "Vincent, if Josh's woman got into an accident in Parma, do you know what will happen?"
At this time, Vincent's dazzling handsome face was filled with anger. His eyes flashed across everyone's faces, and he gritted his teeth as he whispered, "You all know me, Josh has broken my rules. Why wouldn't you admit it?"
"Your rules are absurd!" Gerardo, the elder brother of the Sylvester family, replied while standing beside Josh without explaining.
Glen nodded. "Yes!"
Antonio smiled coquettishly while holding a glass of wine. "Your rules are ridiculous, at best they are just complete nuts!"
Vincent was at loss for words.
He did not expect that his revenge would be ridiculed by everyone.
The man can't help but wonder, did he really do something wrong?!
...
In the sea, there is endless darkness.
Only the silent lighthouse at the front emitted a faint light.
Lilia and Alice walked to the side of the ship, standing facing the sea as the breeze brushed against their hair.
Alice wrinkled the corner of her mouth, still holding the water glass in her hand. She lowered her head and smiled bitterly. "Th... Thank you."
Lilia shifted her gaze, looked at her face and lightly shook her head. "No problem."
"Are you looking down on me that much?" Alice stared at Lilia's gaze, her expression a little serious and stubborn. "Actually, you don't need to answer it. I even look down on myself, let alone other people!"
"It's hard to underestimate you. Your actions are harmless, I guess this is just your joke."
Lilia's response made Alice bow her head in a daze.
Whether it was a joke or not, she lost by doing this.
"I really like it, it's been a long time!" When Alice raised her eyes to look at the sea again, her whispers were carried away by the wind.
Alice gazed ahead, her eyes filled with obsession and admiration.
"I still remember when I saw him for the first time, I was fourteen years old and he was twelve. I had never seen a boy who was so sick but still had sharp eyes."
"At that time, my father took me to Vincent's house. He was wearing a black shirt and trousers, looking very thin and pale, but the look in his eyes... I could never forget them. I just thought he was very special, and different from Glen. I've been in contact with him for years, the words 'cold' and 'frosty' should suit him the most."
Speaking of this, Alice faintly retracted her gaze. She rubbed the cup in her hand and laughed at herself. "However, it was only this afternoon that I saw him take care of you with my own eyes, and I realized that he also has a soft side."
"You know, I really am a stupid woman. There are a lot of people chasing me in Parma, but my heart is still with Josh. I don't know why, maybe because he never looked at me, so I wanted to conquer him and run after him even more. When I think about it now, that's really ridiculous!"
At this moment, Lilia was observing Alice and listening to her thoughts carefully.
She could understand the bitterness of her unrequited love, but unfortunately, there was only one Jean Widjaya figure.
Lilia put her hand to the side and stretched her eyebrows, she whispered. "He's really good, and he deserves to be liked."
A trace of surprise crossed Alice's eyes, as if she didn't expect Lilia to say something like that.
She turned slightly sideways, leaning against the railing. "I thought you would warn me and try to get rid of my feelings as quickly as possible."
"If I warn you, will it be useful?" Lilia chuckled. "Unless you are willing to let go, everything I say will be pointless."
There are so many people in this world.
And nobody can ever control anybody's feelings over something.
Coming from a distinguished family, as well as having a handsome and arrogant face make Jean Widjaya a fatal weapon to any woman's heart.
Lilia opposed their marriage once, but as she knew him better, she got this inescapable love. If someone with such an iron heart like her was conquered, how about others who easily melt?
Alice may not be smart enough, but she wins in honesty.
She is able to show her concern about herself, which proves that she is ready to let go.
Lilia looked at Alice, who looked a little sad, and comforted her. "Actually, you don't have to be sad. I still want to believe in certain things. You met him when you were fourteen years old, but I met him when I was ten years old.
"You have liked him for years. Instead of wasting your time on him, you should take a good look at the world. Someday, someone who can make you happy may be here. Maybe he hasn't appeared in your life now, but as time goes by, he will come with all his kindness. As for that man… He can only be mine in this life. "
Alice looked at Lilia deeply, and calmed the shock in her heart. She then asked happily, "Indeed, he's yours in this life, but the next life… "
Hearing right now, Lilia looked directly at her with a reckless face. "He will also be mine! He will always be mine for eternity, so don't think about snatching him away, okay!"
Alice chuckled and laughed. "Why are you so greedy? Isn't it enough to have him once?"
Lilia revealed her smile and sighed. "When you meet someone and you hold his hand and never want to let go, you will probably understand that no matter how long you've been with him, even in thousands of years, it will never be enough."
