Chapter 587
Moreover, even if Clifford was willing to let her go to see Karl, he must be uneasy and kind.
“If it wasn’t for you, why would you believe that Karl was really in a car accident?” Alyssa clenched her hands, stopped, turned her head and stared at Clifford.
Most clever people are suspicious, and Clifford is no exception. Seeing his eloquent look, he knew in his heart that Karl was really in a car accident.
If Karl’s car accident was not related to Clifford, how could Clifford be so sure?
Clifford squinted his eyes slightly and looked awe-inspiring: “Alyssa, I don’t like to listen to what you said.”
“Because I told the truth.” Alyssa sneered and went out.
At the door, Alyssa’s face completely sank.
She quickened her pace and walked towards Grace’s room.
When she entered the door, she relaxed, Grace was still asleep, Alyssa walked to the side and spread the newspaper on the table, moved the floor lamp to her front, and studied the newspaper carefully.
Although she had a hunch that Karl’s car accident was related to Clifford, she did not believe that Karl could really be calculated by Clifford.
Karl was not a person who would fall into a trap easily.
It’s just…she is still worried!
Alyssa stretched out her hand to cover her face, leaned on the sofa and let out a long sigh of relief, anxiously wondering whether Karl had a real car accident.
But after guessing, she couldn’t see Karl herself, and couldn’t see the meaning of her guess.
Alyssa raised her head and looked at Grace on the bed for a while. If she was here alone now, she wouldn’t have to worry so much.
Clifford is now able to take care of Grace with delicious food, not because he is kind enough, but because he knows that as long as Grace is here, he can control Alyssa.
On the premise that Alyssa could be restrained, he was naturally willing to treat Grace better.
…
All day long, Alyssa felt a little restless.
When eating in the evening, Alyssa didn’t see Clifford, and didn’t know what he was planning again.
After dinner, Clifford came back.
Alyssa reached Grace and met Clifford at the top of the stairs.
Clifford only glanced at Alyssa, then smiled and stretched out his hand towards Grace: “Grace, give uncle a hug.”
Grace blinked and stretched out her hand towards Clifford.
Clifford took a delicate small box to Grace: “Look, do you like it.”
The box is filled with chocolate.
Grace nodded: “Thank you Uncle Dixon.”
“Go and play, Uncle Dixon has something to leave, goodbye.” Clifford put Grace on the ground and waved goodbye to her.
Grace waved her hand without making a sound. He looked reserved and looked different from usual enthusiasm.
After Clifford was gone, Grace pulled the hem of Alyssa’s clothes and handed Alyssa the small box of chocolates.
Alyssa knelt down and talked to Grace: “What’s the matter? You don’t want to eat?”
“No.” Grace shook her head, looking embarrassed.
Grace suddenly leaned to Alyssa’s ear and asked in a very low voice, “Dad won’t come again today?”
After she finished speaking, she stood up straight, looked at Alyssa, and waited for Alyssa to give her an answer.
Alyssa fell silent, Grace really wanted to see Karl.
Grace grew up so big, this should be the first time she has been away from Karl for so long, or perhaps Grace felt something.
Sometimes the agility of children is not what an adult can imagine.
Alyssa’s relationship with Clifford is strained these days, and Grace may have felt this vaguely. She probably doesn’t understand what this is all about, and she doesn’t really understand how it feels, but she will be upset, will panic.
But what does Alyssa want to say?
She wants to tell Grace, is Karl possibly in a car accident?
She wants to tell Grace, is the Uncle Dixon who bought her sweets and smiled at her a bad person?
A long time ago, when Alyssa was still living in Hunt family, she thought that if she had a child in the future, she would definitely give her the best things in the world, and that her child would live better than anyone else.
Alyssa felt like a ball of cotton was stuffed in her throat, which was extremely uncomfortable, it was so badly blocked, and it was slightly sour.
Grace was still looking at her, waiting for her to answer.
She is Grace’s mother, and Grace trusts her so much.
She couldn’t lie to Grace, but she couldn’t bear to tell the truth.
Alyssa lowered her eyes, suppressing her emotions, took the small box from Grace’s hand, and forced herself to say with a smile: “This chocolate is so beautiful, it must be delicious, can I just try it?”
A child’s attention is easily shifted in a short period of time. When she looks down at the chocolate, her dark eyes are shining, and she looks expectant: “Then you taste it!”
That generous look is particularly pitiful.
Alyssa bit her lip tightly, smiled and said, “Okay, then I’ll try it.”
She broke a little and put it in her mouth, and Grace immediately asked diligently: “Is it sweet? Is it delicious?”
“Don’t you know if you eat a little by yourself?” Alyssa handed her the box.
Grace took a piece of chocolate out of it, took a gentle bite, then smacked her mouth: “Sweet.”
Alyssa echoed: “Yes, it’s very sweet.”
It is often said that a sweet tooth is better when you are sad.
Alyssa felt that this sentence still had some truth, and she didn’t seem to be so sad now.
When the two went upstairs, the small piece of chocolate that Grace was holding just finished eating.
Alyssa took Grace to the bathroom to wash. She cleaned Grace’s first, put on her pajamas and hugged her back to the bed, and then left in the bathroom alone.
She didn’t close the bathroom door because she was afraid that Grace might come to her for something.
Alyssa boiled the water, a little lost.
In the bedroom, Grace sat on the bed holding the doll and waited for Alyssa to come out.
Suddenly, there was movement over the window.
“Knocking!”
Grace heard the sound and looked to the window curiously.
The heating was turned on in the room, and the doors and windows were closed. Grace could only see the curtains.
The curtains were calm and there was no movement.
Grace stared at the curtains for a while, then retracted her gaze, and continued to wait for Alyssa to come out.
At this time, there was another sound of movement over the window.
Knocking! Knocking!
This time it rang several times in a row.
Children have good hearing and can hear very real.
Grace opened her eyes wide, looked there curiously, and couldn’t help but crawl out of the quilt, slid out of the bed and ran towards the window “dangdangdang”.
The window of Grace’s room was surrounded by woods. When she opened the curtains, she only saw the darkness outside.
But soon there was a ray of light outside the window.
Chapter 588
The spot where the ray of light was located was in the lower left corner of the window. It was a little bit bright and very faint, but Grace could see it very clearly.
“what?”
Grace stood on tiptoes and tilted her head to look.
Suddenly, a hand emerged from the lower left corner of the window.
Grace was curious about everything at his age, not only didn’t feel scared, but stared at that hand very curiously.
In the lower left corner, a hand was first extended, then an arm, then a head, a broad shoulder…
When the person’s face was exposed, Grace’s eyes lit up suddenly, and she called out if she was happy, and the people outside the window made a silent gesture towards her.
Grace was very obedient and didn’t say anything. She squeezed her hands into small fists and held up in front of him helplessly, and cried out, “Dad.”
The sound insulation of the windows is very good, she yelled very quietly, and Karl outside the window could not hear her.
But he can see her mouth clearly.
He hasn’t seen Grace for almost a month.
The little seems to have grown up again. She is wearing a fluffy one-piece pajamas. The whole person looks soft. The temperature in the room should be just right. Her fleshy little face is still slightly red.
He originally thought that Grace would be afraid to see him. In the middle of the night, someone suddenly appeared out of the window, and anyone would be afraid.
However, she recognized him at a glance, and obediently listened to him silently.
The father and daughter were separated by a soundproof window. They could not hear each other’s voice, and even their expressions were not clear. But Karl had never been like this moment before, clearly feeling that this was his daughter.
She is bleeding with the same blood as him, and she has his last name, which was the crystallization of his and Alyssa’s love.
She needs him very much and trusts him very much.
She is different from Karl, he is burdened with debts to her mother and the restraint that he cannot let go, but Grace is a separate individual.
She is innocent and deserves to be loved.
Between Karl’s always solemn eyebrows, unconsciously, there was a touch of emotion and love.
Suddenly, there was a “click” sound in his ear.
Karl raised his eyes and saw Grace, who had unlocked the window, smiled at him expectantly, and said to him, “Daddy, come in quickly.”
It took only half a minute for Karl to think of these things, and didn’t spend much time.
But Grace had already helped him open the window.
Karl stretched out his hand to open the window, waved his hand, and motioned for Grace to step aside.
Grace obediently stepped aside two steps to let Karl in.
It’s just that her calf is short, and she stepped back two steps to the side as if suddenly.
Karl was a little helpless, but didn’t say anything more, he jumped in while holding on to the window sill.
He was squatting on the ground when he landed. As soon as he landed, Grace rushed over and hugged his neck, and said with a sad expression: “I thought you were not coming today.”
Karl was stunned, stretched out one hand to close the window, and the other empty palm reached behind her to support her: “Who said I’m coming today?”
His hands were too big, one palm almost covered her back.
little fluffy.
After Karl closed the window, he drew the curtains to cover it, and then stood up holding Grace.
For Grace, Karl’s question is a bit transcendent.
Alyssa had told her that Karl would come to pick them up. When she started thinking about Karl, she naturally thought about Karl’s coming.
And Alyssa didn’t say exactly that Karl would definitely come today.
Grace wanted Karl to come subconsciously.
Grace stretched out her hand and scratched her head, and then said seriously: “Mom said you will come to pick us up, and I waited for you every day.”
Waiting for him every day?
Karl couldn’t help laughing, looking at such a little dumpling, it was sensational to talk, and he didn’t know if she learned it from Alyssa.
As soon as he thought of this, he heard Grace yell: “Mom!”
Karl looked up and saw Alyssa standing not far away looking at them.
Alyssa had just boiled the water in the bathroom, and she was a little lost in thinking about things, but she didn’t hear the movement that Karl made outside at first.
She didn’t walk out of the bathroom until Karl came in and jumped to the ground to make a movement.
As soon as she came out, she saw Karl such a big living person appeared in the room out of thin air, holding Grace and talking.
She couldn’t believe her eyes.
After the eyes of the two met in the air, they did not look away.
Seeing that Alyssa hadn’t moved for a long time, Grace couldn’t help but reminded her: “Mom, it’s Dad!”
“Alyssa.” Karl called out her name, his voice still low and nice.
Alyssa raised her eyes slightly, still looking at him.
Karl held Grace with one hand and stretched out the other arm. His face was always cold, and he said unhurriedly, “Give you three seconds to come over. I may forgive you regardless of the previous complaint.”
As soon as he finished speaking, Alyssa rushed over and plunged into his arms.
Reckless, like a child.
Karl tightened his arms, pressed her firmly into his arms, and then whispered in her ear: “Forgive you.”
Forgive her for her stubbornness, forgive her for her decision to let Clifford take her away without consulting him.
Alyssa clutched his clothes, the restlessness of the whole day was completely calmed down for a moment.
Soon, Karl felt Alyssa’s hands touching him, and there was even a tendency to poke under his clothes.
Karl squeezed her hand accurately, his voice was low, and she looked a little wicked: “Alyssa, after seeing you for such a long time, I can understand your intolerance. After all, I am the same, but it is not suitable to do those things now. What’s more, Grace is still here.”
Those moving and reassuring emotions disappeared at this moment, Alyssa pushed him away, and said angrily: “I want to see if you are injured. Who is thinking about all these messy things like that all day? shameless!”
Grace’s childish voice came from the side: “What is shameless?”
Alyssa almost forgot that Grace was still next to her, and she didn’t explain it, nor can she explain it.
She blinked and poked Karl’s shoulder with her hand. The meaning was obvious, and she asked him to explain to Grace.
Karl received her distress signal, gave her a meaningful look, and then turned to ask Grace: “Is Grace sleepy?”
Grace shook her head: “Not sleepy.”
Karl raised his eyebrows, walked to the bed in two steps, and put her up: “Play by yourself if you don’t feel sleepy.”
Grace looked at Karl with a dull expression, her eyes were blank.
What seems to be wrong?
Why does she want to play by yourself? Doesn’t dad play with her?
