"What was the thing you wanted to do most when you were little? Or was there anything you want to get the most?" William looked at Alice and asked.
"Something I wanted to get or do the most? I cannot tell any, to be honest." Alice rolled her eyes and thought for a long time, "There was indeed something that I wanted the most before, but there is no need to mention it now."
"Why? Tell me what you want!"
William pinched her chin to force Alice to face him directly and looked straight at her.
Alice looked into his eyes and laughed, "It was not an item that I wanted. It was a person that I want to get."

William did not speak and waited for the rest of her words.
"I want to find someone that we will take care of each other, and the love is from the bottom of our hearts. Then, this person can stay with me forever." Thinking back then, she took care of Patrick because of it. She craved for the love from someone who could accompany her.
William stared at her.
"I used to envy Mary. Everyone who met her liked her, and she was just so popular. In the contract, I was always ignored. To be honest, I am afraid of being alone and being ignored," Alice smiled as she spoke, and she wrapped her arms around William's neck, then leaned on his shoulder gently, "but now I have you. We got married, so you will be with me forever, right?"
William just sat still and let Alice hug him. His body was a little frozen, and there was no expression on his face. After a long pause, he raised his arms and hold her, saying with a deep voice, "Of course, Alice, I will stay by your side, forever."
"Thank you."
Alice leaned on his shoulder and nodded, hugging him using all her strength.
"Is this what you want the most for now?"
William asked.
"No, because I already have it." Alice smiled and said, "There was nothing else that I wanted. As long as we are together, no matter if we are going out for honeymoon or it is for your work, I'm satisfied."
The life they were having now was enough for her.
There was no need to make the life so complicated.
"I will definitely give you the things you want!"
William hugged Alice so tight that Alice felt a little pain between his arms.
They wore school uniforms and had fun in the school for the entire day. When they head back, Alice did not want to walk anymore, so they got on a taxi.
The scenery by the roadside passed by.
The school was getting further from their views.
Alice held a box of cake that was bought by a bodyguard outside the school and used a small spoon to cut a small piece of the cake for William. However, William made a snobby face and stepped back.
"You are not going to eat even I am feeding you?"
Alice looked at him. Did this man truly understand what sweetness was and what was the point of dating?
How dare he to despise the cake?
William looked at the cake on the spoon and frowned, "I will eat after you eat it first."
"Why?" Alice looked at him speechlessly, "Are you afraid that I will poison you?"
At the same time, she put the cake into her mouth. Before she could taste the cake, William suddenly came towards her, pulled her into his arms, and kissed her. His skillful tongue pried slipped in between her lips, then stole the cake from her mouth, slowly tasting it.
Yes, it was sweet.
Alice stood still and did not know what to do, their lips stuck together tightly as if the strong love was burning. Now she understood what William meant when he said he would eat after she ate it first. He meant to eat the cake in her mouth.
It seems like William understood the true meaning of dating better than her. It was too sweet to some extent.
Alice looked at William's enjoyable face in front of her. She smiled, did not resist but let William kissed her.
The whole atmosphere in the car was full of happiness, and the driver drove quietly along the way.
When they arrived at their old house, William went to his office room and started to take care of some work. Alice sat on the balcony and spoke with her good friend, Anna, about their dates, until Anna could not resist and complaint, "Alice, I am so glad that this is not a holographic call. Otherwise, I would drown in your happiness when I see you even though I am married."
"If you want, I can tell you more the next time I see you."
Alice said with a smile.
"That was enough, Alice." Anna was speechless, "I really admire the relationship between William and you. Most marriages were bland, but yours was always full of up and down, like you just started this relationship. How could you be so upset before, and now you are full of happiness?"
Before...
Speaking of what happened before, Alice's smile faded, and said, "I know, when I am with William, I am so happy that I almost forgot about everything, and everyone."
She could not deny that she enjoyed this feeling. William was the only person in her world, and she just loved him too much.
"Don't you know what William did to Patrick?"
Anna asked on the other side of the phone, provoking a question that Alice tried to ignore for the entire time.
"The only thing I know is that William will not hurt Patrick. He should be safe."
Other than that, Alice really did not know anything.
In fact, she could not stop herself from testing William's attitude for the whole day. However, William's performance was flawless, and since she could not find any reason to not trust him, she became more relaxed and enjoyed herself.
"Is Patrick still being imprisoned by William?" Anna asked, "This is not going to solve any problem."
Of course, it would not address any issues. Alice always knew that.
