Chapter 249
Alyssa was a little surprised.
She added a note to Mattie first, and when she returned, she found that the other side was in a state of “inputting”.
The next moment, a message from Mattie to her appeared on the screen.
“Alyssa, have you figured it out?”
It seems that she still remembers what she said before.
Alyssa didn’t make a roundabout way: “Yes, what you said before still counts?”
“Of course it counts.”
Immediately afterward, Mattie sent her another message: “What type of writing you have, please send me a paragraph first, but I may not have the time recently. I am still working overtime. You wait for my message, maybe after the coming Festival. .”
Mattie felt Alyssa at the beginning, she was just a spoiled daughter who didn’t have many thoughts.
But now she discovered that Mattie may not be a person with a very upright attitude in the ordinary sense, but she has her own set of rules of life.
There is no absolute good or bad, black and white in this world.
People like Mattie have their own set of rules of life, and maybe they are the kind of people who live the best.
“I know, thank you.” This “thank you” Alyssa came from the heart.
“Don’t thank me for being so early, in case your script is too bad, I can only find you a third-rate director who is not well-known.”
Mattie said this directly, but Alyssa didn’t dislike it at all.
“OK.”
“I still have work, I’m so busy, I’ll talk to you when I have time.”
Just as Alyssa was about to reply “Get busy”, she saw the status bar indicating that Mattie was sending a message.
Soon, Mattie’s text came over: “Are you in the Adams’ Old House now? Did Anya come home alone for the New Year?”
“What do you want to ask?” Alyssa thought of the last time Anya and Mattie had a fight, Anya mentioned Robin.
Robin is a child star debut, is also a qualified actor in the entertainment industry, is also a model worker, every year works appear on the screen, the audience is also very good.
Listening to what Anya said at the time, Mattie obviously liked Robin too.
Alyssa replied with a smile: “She came home alone for the New Year, don’t worry.”
Mattie’s mouth was stiff: “Don’t worry, Anya, that b!tch, I don’t think she can get married!”
Anya can’t get married?
How could she not be able to marry, after all, Anya was also good-looking, and her family background was not bad compared to ordinary people.
“Who is chatting with?”
Karl didn’t know when he came over.
Alyssa hurriedly quit the WeChat interface, and went to the news if nothing happened: “Friends.”
Karl sat down in front of her, “Alyssa.”
His tone was a bit serious, and Alyssa couldn’t help but look up at him.
“Who called you before breakfast?” She didn’t say, he planned to ask directly.
Alyssa did not conceal: “My mother.”
“What then?” Karl remembered the way she looked at him, and immediately thought of what Rachel had said.
“Just ask me when I will return to Hunt’s house for New Year’s greetings, and by the way, she mentioned her previous visit to me.” Alyssa’s face was light and clear, and she took the matter over.
Karl squinted his eyes and carefully looked at Alyssa’s expression, but he didn’t see anything unusual in her expression.
Of course, he didn’t feel that he had driven Rachel away at the time, nor did he tell Alyssa what was wrong afterward.
He remembered that the doctor had said that the temper of pregnant women was capricious and easily emotional.
Thinking about it this way, he stopped thinking about how Alyssa was suddenly upset.
“She wants to be beautiful!” Rachel even had the face to call Alyssa, asking her when she would go back to visit the New Year.
Alyssa didn’t make a statement, but said indifferently: “Just send someone to send something to Hunt’s house then.”
Karl raised his eyes, “It’s up to you.”
…
At the New Year’s Eve dinner in the evening, all the Adams’ family gathered.
The old house is very large, except for the restaurant where you usually eat, there is also a restaurant dedicated to parties.
This restaurant is so big that it can almost hold a small party.
The facts have proved that so many relatives of the Adams’ family gather for New Year’s Eve dinner, and it is already a small party.
There are too many people, Alyssa turned her head and said in a low voice to Karl, “I can’t remember who these are.”
Karl held her hand, and the corners of his lips wore a smile like nothing: “It’s okay, they only need to know who you are.”
Alyssa thought about it and found it reasonable.
Alyssa would also give a red envelope whenever a child came to call someone. This red envelope was given to Alyssa by her servant in advance.
Elder Adams really loved Karl.
During the New Year, everyone is in a good mood, and the atmosphere in the restaurant is also good.
After eating, everyone gathered together to chat and watch the year, waiting for the past year to pass.
Karl did not intend to stay together with these people. He took Alyssa’s hand and said, “Let’s go.”
“What are you doing?” Alyssa looked at him and quickly understood that he meant to go back to the room to sleep.
She was indeed pregnant, but the doctor said that she was in very good physical condition, but it was only until midnight, she could still do it.
Karl thought her too squeamish.
Alyssa glanced in the direction of the old man: “I’m fine, it’s only until 12 o’clock. Everyone is there. You finally returned to your old house to celebrate the New Year. How many years have you not spent the New Year with Grandpa?”
The expression on Karl’s face moved slightly, it was obvious that Alyssa was moved.
“Let’s go, let’s go to Grandpa’s side.”
Alyssa pulled Karl towards the Elder Adams, but Karl followed her.
As soon as Alyssa passed, Luther also followed.
“Sister Alyssa, let’s play cards!” Luther didn’t know where he took out a set of poker.
Alyssa smiled: “Okay, I will ask your cousin to fight for me.”
Luther’s face collapsed all at once: “… Then forget it.”
Alyssa is not good at playing cards, so she is good at playing dice.
Karl couldn’t find it hard for him.
“You go and play, what are you doing around my old man?”
Because of the New Year, the expression on Mr. Adams’ face was not as serious and cold as before, but rather seemed a bit gentle and kind.
Alyssa quietly pushed Karl and pushed Karl to the side.
Karl sat down next to Mr. Adams.
Alyssa turned her head casually, and saw Mr. Adams looking at her with a smile.
Alyssa felt a little embarrassed, and smiled.
“You talk first, I’ll go to the bathroom.” After pregnancy, I always want to go to the bathroom.
When she finished speaking, she got up and walked out.
She was actually not familiar with the old house, after thinking about it, she decided to go back to the room and go to the bathroom.
When walking up the corner of the stairs, she saw Trevor and Lina.
The two walked in tandem, and looked around vigilantly from time to time.
Chapter 250
Trevor and Lina are brothers and sisters. Judging from the two days of getting along, the relationship between them is very good.
If two people just walk and chat together normally, it’s fine.
However, the two men’s vigilant look for fear of being spotted looked very suspiciously sneaky.
Alyssa pursed her lips and followed.
Because it is New Year’s Eve, there are fewer servants in the old house than usual. They have just finished the New Year’s Eve dinner, and those servants are also eating the New Year’s Eve dinner.
Therefore, Alyssa walked all the way, and hardly encountered any servants.
She followed Trevor and Lina all the way, and saw Trevor take Lina to his own room.
When the door was closed, Trevor still looked at the door.
Alyssa was very vigilant and ducked to the corner next to her.
When she came out again, the door was closed.
Alyssa walked to the door of Trevor’s room, put her ear on the door and carefully listened to what the two were talking about.
She felt that the two must have some secret.
Lina is Gerald’s mother. Gerald suddenly confronted Karl abnormally in the past two months, and Karl was obviously not close to Gerald.
Karl had a good relationship with Gerald and Luther before, and his relationship with Lina was naturally also good. He would not stay close to Lina for no reason.
Even if Gerald had a problem, it was impossible for him to be indifferent to Lina because of Gerald.
It can be seen from Luther that he was not indifferent to Luther because of his grudge against Gerald.
In this way, there must be something wrong with Lina.
Thinking about it this way, Alyssa felt that the wealthy were really troublesome.
There are so many secrets.
The sound insulation of the room is so good that Alyssa can’t hear anything at all.
Since she couldn’t hear anything, Alyssa had to turn around and leave.
She didn’t go far, and she heard the door open behind her.
Alyssa ran away probably because of a guilty conscience.
She ran to the corner, eased her breathing, and then looked around. She found that Trevor and Lina had left from the other side.
Alyssa breathed a sigh of relief, and went back to the room, went to the bathroom, and went to the restaurant.
When she walked to the entrance of the restaurant, she met Karl who was in a hurry.
When Karl saw her, he stopped, frowned and asked her, “Why did you come back so long?”
Alyssa pursed her lips, feeling that what just happened didn’t explain much except to prove that Trevor and Lina might have some secrets.
After all, who has no secrets?
Therefore, she didn’t want to tell Karl, she suffocated two words: “Constipation.”
Karl raised his eyebrows, touched her head, and led her in.
When Alyssa entered, she found that Trevor was already in the dining room.
As if feeling Alyssa’s gaze, Trevor glanced back at her, and then smiled at her.
Because of what happened just now, Alyssa always felt a little weird when she saw Trevor’s smile.
But she didn’t show it on her face, just smiled at Trevor.
After a while, Lina also came in.
Alyssa and Karl sat next to Mr. Adams, and Lina also sat down on the other side of Mr. Adams.
Lina asked gently, “Alyssa hasn’t been for a few months now? I haven’t shown much affection.”
“Less than two months.” Alyssa couldn’t help but touched her belly.
Karl turned his head to look at her, his eyes also softened.
Lina looked back and forth between the two of them, then laughed.
The smile looked gentle and kind.
Alyssa suddenly couldn’t figure it out. A woman like Lina looked soft and weak, and the two children she taught had completely different personalities from her.
No, that is, Luther and her character are very different.
And Gerald has always been gentle and calm, and no one thought that he would do such despicable things.
Gerald will become such a different person, is it related to family reasons?
If this is the case, is Lina’s apparent weakness also pretending to be.
“Alyssa? What’s wrong with you?”
Alyssa regained consciousness, only to find that she was staring at Lina in a trance.
She smiled and said, “Aunt, what’s the matter?”
“I just asked you several times, should you go to the hospital to check if it is a boy or a girl?” Lina’s tone was still gentle and gentle.
“Probably not,” Alyssa said and turned to look at Karl.
Karl raised his eyebrows and glanced at Lina, his tone a little cold: “Boys and girls it doesn’t matter.”
The atmosphere is a bit subtle.
People like the Adams family naturally want Alyssa to give birth to a boy.
When Karl said this, Lina’s expression changed slightly, and she smiled reluctantly and stopped making a sound.
Alyssa quietly squeezed Karl’s hand.
Today is New Year’s Eve after all, she thinks Karl should temper her temper.
Who knows, Karl turned his head and glanced at her coldly…
…
After twelve o’clock, everyone said a happy new year to each other.
Elder Adams gave Karl and Alyssa a big red envelope: “You two should be good.”
Alyssa smiled and said, “Thank you, grandpa.”
Of course, the other grandchildren in the family also received red envelopes from Mr. Adams.
Back in the room, Alyssa paid attention to Karl’s expression while opening the red envelope.
After Karl asked that question, Karl changed his face and never got better.
“Karl!” Alyssa called to him.
Karl glanced at her blankly: “What?”
“Auntie asked if you want to check the gender of your child. What do you do with such a big reaction?”
Karl stopped talking.
Alyssa simply got out of bed and walked to his side: “She didn’t mean anything, you…”
“I don’t care if there is any malice?” Karl turned to look at her, with a cold face: “Alyssa, I would answer that you should go back to the old house for the New Year, instead of bringing you over and begging to see others’ faces. “
Alyssa was stunned.
It turned out he was so angry.
“I’m not wronged, really.”
Alyssa wanted to laugh a little, Karl had taken her so seriously these days, she felt like a baby, no matter how wrong.
Karl stared at her for a few seconds, as if confirming that she was not lying.
Immediately, he sighed softly: “Go to sleep.”
…
The next day.
When Alyssa woke up, Karl was no longer by her side.
The voice of the servant came from outside: “Young lady, are you awake? Mr. Adams asked you to come over, and Boss is waiting for you there.”
When Alyssa heard this, she immediately sat up and said, “Wake up, I will go over immediately.”
She checked the time and it was eleven o’clock.
She quickly got up to wash and change clothes, then went to Mr. Adams.
Elder Adams’s door was wide open, but there was no one inside.
When she came out of the room, she heard movement over the stairs.
“grandfather?”
She called without hearing a response, and walked over.
Suddenly, there was a dull sound of heavy objects rolling down the stairs.
Alyssa’s heart tightened and ran towards the stairs.
She ran over and found that Elder Adams had already rolled down the stairs to the ground, and a large amount of blood spilled on the white floor.
Alyssa’s eyes widened, and it took a few seconds to react, and shook her voice and called out, “Grandpa!”
A servant passed by and screamed.
“Ah! Come on, the old man fell down…”
“What’s going on… Mr. Adams!”
“Call the doctor!”
