"This little bit of radiation is fine." Alice took the apple and looked at him, "Are you going to return tomorrow?"
William picked up his laptop and placed it on the cabinet at the side, then said coldly, "Why do you want to go back? It's only been a few days, and I didn't go to be with you since I was occupied."
"You are still going to be with me?" Alice' eyes widened in surprise. The apple was right beside her mouth but she just couldn't bite it.
"Touched now? You are allowed to be moved!"
With a condescending expression, William looked like he was doing her a great favor.
Alice sat on the bed. It seemed he deliberately diverted from the topic of what she said. She took a huge bite of the apple, thinking for a while, said, "Actually, we've been a lot of places. Are there more?"
"I still want to go another place."
William said in a very serious tone.
"Where?"
Alice asked with surprise as she had no idea where else he wanted to go.
"You'll know tomorrow. Eat the apple and go to sleep." William walked forward and rumpled her hair. Alice could not help but say, "I think Daniel is really worried. You can't just fool around with me now. We still have plenty of time, don't we?"
'We could take it slowly.'
Unless, to him, those sweetness was only temporary.
"Daniel is an old man who gets anxious easily. His words doesn't count." William said in disdain, "Why should I give up the opportunity to be with you just for Lancaster? Alice, don't overthink about it!"
Once again, he reassured her.
"Oh..."
Alice replied obediently and didn't say anything else.
"I'll take a shower. I'll be with you in a while." William turned around and walked towards the bathroom.
"Uh, okay."
Alice nodded. 'Tomorrow... So, he even planned out tomorrow's journey already?'
She looked down, then a faint smile appeared in her eyes but it quickly faded. It was strange. She clearly liked the feeling that William planed for tomorrow day by day, but she also felt a little worried from the bottom of her heart as if such nice time would not last for long.
Every time she said that she wanted to go back, William would interrupt her.
Sometimes she really wanted to be smarter, as she really couldn't tell if anything was wrong from his tone. All she had was her intuition.
Suddenly, she felt the child move within her.
Alice caressed her swollen belly, smiling as she said, "Baby, don you think that I'm just thinking too much as well?"
The baby calmed down immediately.
Fine.
She tried not to overthink, to just have fun with him. She was pregnant, and the most important thing was to stay in a good mood.
Well, that's it.
Alice tried her best to convince herself again. Then she began to nibble on the apple in her hands and picked up a magazine on the side. She got sleepy as she flipped through the magazine.
When William came out from the bathroom, he saw Alice had fallen asleep against the headboard and the magazine lay on the bed. Although she slept deeply, one of her hands hung beside the bed with half an apple in the hand.
She got sleepy more easily and frequently lately.
William wiped his hair and then threw the towel to the side. He walked forward and took the apple from Alice's hand, then he embraced her and laid down.
Alice mumbled. She turned around in his embrace to found the most comfortable spot, and pulled his arm under her head as a pillow.
William was stiff. He could not move in case he had waken Alice. So he kept bent and still embraced her.
Alice rubbed against his arm. Her eyelashes fluttered, and her soft lips slightly pouted.
How cute his woman was.
William looked at Alice. He could see nothing but her face. Only after watching Alice for a long while did he finally free a hand to cover her with the blanket.
The other hand under her head gradually became numb.
William carefully pulled one of his hands back, while Alice rubbed against his arm, distracting him.
"Okay, okay, okay. I'm not moving. Stop moving."
William sounds like he was defeated by Alice and just wanted to spoil her girl. He did not try to withdraw his hand again.
Alice quieted down and fell asleep on his arm as though she had heard his words. William could only bend over and stand there, and his hands were so numb that even his shoulders hurt.
He reached out and rubbed his shoulders and felt numbness in his entire arm.
The light was bright.
William turned his head and found the position of light switch. Then, he slowly raised his leg and used the tip of his shoe to tap on the switch and turned off the light, leaving only a small lamp.
The lights dimmed.
William rubbed his shoulders as he sat down beside her. The remaining space between Alice and the side of the bed was only 20cm, which was not enough for William to sleep. So when he lay down, half of his body was out the bed. As soon as he found a suitable position to lie down, Alice suddenly became dissatisfied with her position again. She once again crawled into his embrace, forcing him to almost fall off the bed. He could only stabilize his body by leaning one of his long legs against a chair.
Alice just wanted to throw herself into his embrace.
This woman was never like this.
