After reading the messages, Alice looked at the clothes she had on and decided to head to her room for some clean clothes. She instructed the
children to watch the door.
They should only open the door for their father, she told them.
After being escorted in by his security guards, Daniel deliberately circled the neighborhood. He wanted to look slightly fizzled, as though he had just
alighted from the subway and rushed back home.
He noticed the furniture in the apartment was different as soon as he opened the door.
“Where’s she?” Daniel asked his sons.
He had yet to find a suitable term to address Alice in the short time they were married. He had been using ‘she’ temporarily whenever he spoke of her,
The children exchanged a look and pointed at the door of Alice’s room.
Benny said, “mommy is inside. She is exhausted today!”
“mommy spent a lot of money on Daddy! Daddy should remember to thank her!” said Aidy.
Even without the children’s reminder, Daniel knew Alice had spent a lot of money today. He should indeed thank her.
Daniel changed his shoes to home slippers, then went ahead and opened Alice’s door.
“Alice-
The door opened, revealing the glorious sight of Alice’s flawless back, her light blue panty, and her long pale legs.
She had a good figure and cute dimples on the small of her back.
He found himself unable to take his eyes off such a beautiful sight. Daniel did not turn away immediately. It was
instinctive
to stare.
He had received his fair share of suggestive proposals from socialites.
Some were ridiculous enough to find their way to his bed, lying in wait naked.
He had thought of their bare bodies as repulsive, even downright disgusting..
Yet, right at that moment, he was unable to summon similar emotions of distaste as he stared at Alice’s body. He felt
attracted to her.
Alice heard the door open. She thought it was the children. She picked up a long-sleeved blouse casually and put it on.
“Children, remember to knock on the door before you enter mommy’s room next time, understand?”
She turned around when she finished speaking, intending to reason with the children.
As she took in the face before her, she realized that it was not her children!
It was their father!
Alice hid her face behind her hands instantly. “Daniel, why didn’t you knock before you entered?” Alice asked
awkwardly. “Did you see anything just now?”
She appeared like a deer caught in headlights. He found her adorable.
Daniel’s lips could not help but curve into a grin. “I am sorry,” he said to her. “I forgot to just now.”
As for the rest, he had undoubtedly seen everything.
“Even though we are married, we have not yet reached that stage where we are entirely comfortable with each other. I
hope you can knock on the door before entering my room!” Alice said, utterly embarrassed.
The sight of her self-consciousness made him happy. “Aren’t you an actress? Don’t you have to remove your clothes
when the script requires it? Why are you so shy about it?” he teased.
Alice realized he was talking about removing her clothes in front of the camera. Her mood went south. “That’s not me! I
have never stripped on screen before!”
With that, she pushed the man out of her room and slammed her door shut.
Daniel frowned at the closed door in front of him.
Did he say anything wrong?
Was it not true that she had bared herself in front of the camera for work previously?

Alice remained inside her room until her emotions settled down. She tidied herself up before she headed out of the
room.
The man who was responsible did not feel guilty at all. He was questioning Benny on the spoils of today’s shopping.
Alice cleared her throat loudly and interrupted the pair. “Daniel, your room is ready. Do you want to take a look?”
“Yes,” Daniel nodded. He lifted his son into his arms and followed Alice.
Much to his surprise, the whole room had been redecorated.
Although it was not in his preferred style, it felt very homey.
“Do you like it? If you don’t, I’ll get a new set for you next time,” Alice said, pointing at the bedsheet.
“One set is enough!” Daniel shook his head. “I don’t want you to spend so much money.”
