Chapter 401
Only then did Karl hugged Grace, using the kind of posture with which he had just embraced Alyssa.
Grace was a small lump, obviously uncomfortable to be held by him, as if he was lying down.
She kicked her short legs to get up, and Karl hugged her upright.
He supported Grace with one hand, turned around and pushed open the study door with the free hand.
He walked in, looked at the mess in the room, stared in thought for a moment, then put Grace aside, squatted down and started picking up things.
Grace probably thought the room was too messy, she walked on tiptoe to the edge of the sofa, twisted her body neatly and climbed onto the sofa, rubbing the little tiger puppet in her arms, looking at Karl slowly.
The child was very active. After only a few seconds, she asked Karl curiously: “Dad, what are you doing?”
Without raising his head, Karl said, “The thing fell on the ground, pick it up.”
“Oh, I’ll help you pick it up.” Grace slid off the sofa aggressively, ran to Karl’s side, and started to help him pick up the materials scattered on the ground with a sharp glance.
However, she did not pick it up neatly like Karl did. She just held it all in her arms, wrinkled it together, and finally handed it to Karl, with a proud look on her face: “I picked it up. of!”
Karl took it and touched her head: “You should go play.”
Grace curled her lips: “Okay.”
She also thinks picking things is not fun.
At her age, she just likes colorful and cute little toys, and has no interest in these white papers with black letters.
When Karl picked up the documents again and put them back, there was a knock on the door outside.
Karl’s voice was slightly cold: “Who?”
Alyssa outside the door paused before saying, “It’s me, is Grace still here? I warmed for her a glass of milk, she should take a bath and go to bed.”
Only then did Karl notice that it was almost ten o’clock.
He turned his head to look at Grace and found that Grace was listening to Alyssa with her ears upright.
She sat on the sofa obediently, tilted her head slightly, her eyes turned around, obviously attracted by the sound of Alyssa outside the door.
Karl chuckled and asked her, “Have you heard? Who is calling you?”
She held out a finger to her mouth, with a surprised look: “Mom is calling me, there is milk.”
A hint of surprise appeared in Karl’s eyes: “Isn’t it auntie?”
“You said mom.” Grace spoke a little faster, and skipped the “yes” in the middle.
After she finished speaking, she jumped off the sofa: “I’m going to open the door!”
Karl watched her rush to the door, stood on tiptoe and tried to open the door, without paying any attention to him.
He picked up the information bag in front of him, walked behind the desk, and locked the bag in the bottom drawer.
When he looked up again, he saw that Grace had opened the study door and called “Mom” sweetly.
Alyssa was holding a cup of hot milk, and after hearing Grace’s words, she froze in place.
After a while, she woke up like a dream, and asked Grace in disbelief, “What do you call me?”
“Mom.” Grace probably felt the change in Alyssa’s mood, and her small face couldn’t help but straighten up.
This surprise came too suddenly, and Alyssa was surprised to be a little hard to follow.
“I…I warmed the milk for you…” Alyssa was a little stuck talking, only squatted down and passed the milk to Grace.
Grace’s eyes lit up, she reached out to take the milk from Alyssa, and drank with the cup.
Alyssa was worried that she could not hold the cup, so she raised her hand to help her hold it.
Grace obediently drank a cup of milk “grumblingly”.
She held up her empty glass to show Alyssa: “I’m done drinking!”
Alyssa’s heart was so soft: “Grace is really amazing! Would you like me to give you hot milk tomorrow night?”
“OK!”
Grace happily raised the cup and turned back to find Karl.
Alyssa’s gaze also followed Grace, and she realized that Karl had reached the door without knowing when.
At this moment, he was leaning on the door frame, looking at Grace with his arms around him indifferently.
Having just received praise from Alyssa, Grace looked at Karl expectantly: “Look, dad! I drank it all!”
Grace had just drunk milk, and there was a circle of white milk beard on his lips.
Karl curled his lips and reached out to erase the milk beard from her lips. There was a slight smile in her low voice: “Did you say thank you?”
Grace turned her head and said to Alyssa, “Thank you mom!”
Before Grace called her mother, Alyssa was a little surprised.
It is impossible for Grace to call her mother on a sudden whim, it must be Karl who said something.
She felt more and more that Karl was too complicated to understand.
He is arrogant and aloof, but occasionally he is a little naive, and even a little… int!mate.
Alyssa glanced at Karl in a complicated mood.
…
After she showered Grace and coaxed her to go out to sleep, she saw Karl.
Karl had also taken a shower, and is wearing a soft-soft home clothes, the strong breath on his body was greatly reduced.
Alyssa took a deep breath: “Thank you.”
Grace will change her mouth, it must have been taught by Karl.
Although don’t know why Karl did this, Alyssa is still very grateful to him.
Grace seemed to like her very much, but compared to Karl who had been guarding Grace, Grace still liked Karl better.
This is beyond doubt.
Therefore, Grace actually liked listening to Karl’s words.
Grace’s bedroom door hadn’t been closed tightly yet, Karl stretched out his hand and pushed the door down, looked inside, and saw that Grace was sleeping soundly while holding a small puppet, and then he retracted his gaze.
Karl glanced at Alyssa, and said quietly, “Childish people will only verbally thank you.”
When the voice fell, regardless of Alyssa’s expression, he turned and left.
Alyssa was stunned.
Did Karl say he was naive before he hated her?
Alyssa felt that her cognition had been refreshed.
Don’t they all say “adults don’t count the lives of villains�
Why would a big person like Karl hold every word she said that didn’t go to his heart?
Not only that, but he would also take the opportunity to throw words at her and step on her by the way.
Alyssa returned to the room, and the more she thought about it, the more she felt incredible.
So she dialed Tina’s phone.
Tina’s voice is still full of vitality: “Alyssa!”
“Tina, I have something to ask you.”
“What’s the matter, you say.” The sound of pouring water sounded from Tina’s end.
Alyssa thought about it and used a more conservative question: “Karl, what kind of person is he?”
“Puff…cough cough…”
Chapter 402
At the next moment, a cold and coughing voice rang from the other end of the phone: “I chocked while drinking water, wait for me…”
Tina originally poured water and prepared to drink, but after hearing Alyssa’s problem, she chocked suddenly.
Although she knew very well that Alyssa had amnesia now, in her usual memory, Alyssa was Karl’s pillow, and it was Alyssa who knew Karl best.
When Alyssa asked this question coldly, Tina was still shocked.
Tina drank a glass of water before picking up the phone and talking to Alyssa.
“Alyssa, what did you just say?”
“I just asked you… what kind of person is Karl?” Alyssa probably also guessed Tina’s thoughts, and felt that this question sounds a little strange.
“Um… I think about it…” Tina paused, then summed up a few words to her: “Rich, handsome, cold, terrible.”
This is the impression Karl gave to her during Tina’s contact with Karl.
Rich and handsome, it is true that only people with long eyes can see characteristics of Karl.
High cold can be considered a bit.
As for terrible…
It’s a bit too.
Alyssa was a little surprised: “That’s it, is there any more?”
“Nothing.” Tina sighed, “Speaking of which, you should be the person who knows the big boss best.”
“Why would you call him the big boss?” Alyssa hadn’t read the information yet, so she didn’t know that Karl was the boss behind AdamPic Media.
Tina said, “The boss behind AdamPic Media.”
Alyssa: “…”
Because it was too late, Alyssa didn’t plan to chat with Tina more.
Before hanging up the phone, Tina asked curiously: “Why did you suddenly ask me about this today? Did something happen between you and the big boss?”
Karl didn’t contact Peter much now, and Peter didn’t know how Karl was doing.
Peter would think of telling Tina first when he encountered something. Tina naturally didn’t know what he didn’t know.
On the other hand, today’s event happened a bit suddenly, even if Alyssa remembered it, she had no chance to tell Tina.
“I’m now…” Alyssa paused and found a more appropriate statement: “Living under the same roof with Karl.”
Tina’s volume suddenly increased several degrees: “Have you recovered your memory? Or does the big boss recover his memory?”
Through the phone, Alyssa could imagine Tina’s astonished expression at the moment.
Alyssa laughed: “Neither.”
She also wants to restore her memory, but the fact is that there is no progress.
She and Karl were really a couple in distress. They were bombed on the island together and lost their memories together.
In this way, she and Karl seem to be kind and loving.
“If you are not busy, we can find a time to meet.” She just happened to want to ask Tina about something.
Tina agreed: “Okay.”
…
The next day.
Alyssa was awakened by the sound of “dongdong” footsteps outside the door.
The footsteps are not very heavy, the frequency is very fast, and it is easy to hear whose footsteps are.
Sure enough, Alyssa sat up with her body supported, and heard Grace’s energetic voice outside the door: “Mom, get up!”
After Grace shouted, he reached out and knocked on the door.
Three times very regularly.
Alyssa couldn’t help laughing: “Okay, got up soon.”
“Yeah.” Grace responded rawly and ran away again.
Alyssa turned her ears, and got up and got out of bed with a smile as she listened to the “dada da” footsteps outside.
Grace called Alyssa and ran to Karl’s room door and knocked: “Kalr, it’s time to get up.”
Within two seconds, Karl opened the door from the inside.
At the same time, Alyssa just opened the door.
She glanced around and found Grace at Karl’s door.
Thinking that she was still wearing pajamas, Alyssa was about to close the door and turn around.
At this moment, she heard Karl’s cold voice: “Grace, give you a chance to speak again.”
At this time before, Grace had already called “Dad” well.
However, Grace became very playful at this time, and ran over to Alyssa.
She suddenly slammed into Alyssa’s arms and pulled her arm into her room: “Mom, come in, Kalr is here…”
Alyssa looked up at Karl.
Karl squinted at her slightly, there was no special emotion on his face, but Alyssa could still see from his face the meaning of “If you dare to cover her, you will die.”
Alyssa hesitated for only a second, then pulled Grace into the room, and closed the door with her backhand.
Karl’s ears heard the door closing sound, unusually arrogant.
He stared at the open door for a long time, sneered, turned and went downstairs.
…
Isn the room.
After Alyssa closed the door, she stuck to the door and listened to the movement outside.
Grace followed her in every way, putting her ears on the door panel.
Alyssa didn’t hear anything, she recovered, seeing Grace also felt her, she couldn’t help but laugh.
She squatted down in front of Grace and said, “Aren’t you afraid that Kalr will fix you?”
Grace stared at her blankly for two seconds, as if suddenly understood her meaning, shrugged her shoulders, widened her eyes, and said in a low voice, “I’m afraid.”
Alyssa smiled and hugged her into her arms: “Don’t be afraid, you just turn around and behave with him, just k!ss him.”
Grace nodded as if she did not understand.
Alyssa touched her messy hair: “I’ll bring you a toothbrush and brush your teeth with me, OK?”
“I’ll get it myself.” Grace finished speaking, opened the door and ran away.
Alyssa glanced at Karl’s door and was a little surprised to find that he was not there.
However, she felt that with Karl’s vengeful temperament, he would definitely not give up.
Grace soon took her toothbrush over.
She not only took a toothbrush, but also a towel and hairpin.
Grace ran in with a smile, piled everything in her arms to Alyssa, and showed them to Alyssa as serious as they were: “Look at my strawberry hairpin, and rabbits, red… “
Alyssa patiently watched her introduce her small hairpin, and said, “Then should we first wash our faces and brush our teeth? Then we come out to comb our hair and wear beautiful hairpins, OK?”
Unexpectedly, Grace responded very cooperatively: “Okay!”
Alyssa touched her head and carried her into the bathroom.
Alyssa handed the toothbrush with toothpaste to Grace: “Will Grace brush our teeth?”
“Yes!” Grace took the toothbrush, pounded it in the cup filled with water, opened her mouth and gritted her teeth and started brushing.
Grace looked very skillful and flexible in brushing her teeth.
