Her Second Marriage, Being Mr. Moore's New Wife

Chapter 620 Be Lectured

He was such a well-bred, well-behaved child that everyone liked him, and Manfred was no exception.

But seeing that he looked like his half-brother, he was upset.

His eyes went dim, but it was gone in a minute. He gave a faint smile and rubbed his head softly.

“Don't mention it, I have known your mother for a long time. It's ok to treat you to a cake. If you like it, I

can take you to the amusement park next time.”

“Ok, thank you, Uncle Manfred. I'll go first.”

He grabbed his fruitcake and quickly left the shop.

Alice was worried, stood up and watched him get into the car and close the door before she was

relieved.

When she was ready to go back, there was the sound of Manfred behind her.

“You needn't be so nervous. I told you a long time ago that I mean no harm, either to you or to your

child.”

Alice, “...”

She froze for a moment, and then turned to look at Manfred with icy eyes.

“Do you remember that I told you a long time ago that I don't want to be a victim of your struggle with

Kennedy?”

Hearing that, Manfred wrinkled eyebrow.

“Why do you think that? Five years have passed. If I wanted to fight with him, I would have fought him

when I was in the Moore’s house. Why should I have waited until now?”

“So what do you mean now?” Alice sneered out, “I can believe you met me by accidence, but what

about now? You passed by the school when you were off work and saw Jack, so you brought him to

have cake. Do you think he is just a child and defenseless, so you want to buy him off?”

Seeing he was to talk, Alice interrupted him.

“Don't explain. There may be coincidences, but they can't be repeated. Even if you want to use me, you

should restrain your emotions and suppress your heart, instead of coming up to me in all sorts of

different ways.”

Manfred’s eyes went dim and he firmly fixed his eyes on her.

“What about him?”

Alice was stunned hearing that.

“He is reaching out to you in all sorts of ways, so why wouldn't you think he was up to something? And

I just happened to meet you a few times and I signed a contract with you, so I want to use you? Alice,

you are too partial.”

Alice, “...”

“Because you're still in love with him?”

Alice opened her eyes wide, “Don't talk nonsense,”

Manfred stepped forward, his warm breath became imposing, “I talk nonsense or you dare not admit it?

Because you still like him, so no matter what he does, how close he is to you, you will feel that he is

obsessed and will not question him as you question me, right?”

“I...”

“I said I wouldn't hurt you, and I certainly wouldn't hurt the boy. Even if Kennedy is the father, in my

eyes, he is only your child.”

“You...”

Manfred took another step forward. “If I really want to get close to you, it's because I like you.” This is property © of NôvelDrama.Org.

The sudden confession stunned Alice.

Like... Like her?

Five years had passed and he was still...

“How do you think I feel when you left without saying a word? Even if you did not have any affection for

me, we were friends, weren’t we?”

Seeing that she step by step retreated, Manfred went one step forward. Normally he was gentle, but

now he was domineering.

“If he can, why can't I? I'm more qualified than he is, right? After all, I didn't do anything wrong to you.”

Alice was speechless.

She thought of thousands of reasons why he was close to her, but she did not think he liked her, but

now he confessed.

“Because I like you, I want to be close to you. Even if I used some means, it was not too much.”

With that, the warmth returned to his face and his eyes. He looked at her with indifference.

“Well, Jack is still waiting for you in the car, don't let him wait too long.”

Alice was shocked and then felt sorry for Manfred.

“Go.” Manfred gently took her by the shoulder and pushed her out of the cake shop. “I am no longer

your big brother, so I have the quality to compete fairly with Kennedy. Five years ago, I had no chance,

but now I want to fight for myself. I wanted to try before you are with Kenney. So... Don't push me away

for any other reason.”

Alice was pushed to the car and he even opened the car door for her.

“Mommy?”

Jack’s voice pulled back Alice’s thought.

She looked back at Manfred.

“Remember to fasten your seat belt and be safe on the road.” He smiled and closed the door.

Then he turned and went into the cake shop to pay the bill.

Alice sat in the driver's seat in a daze. Jack, holding a cake, blinked his eyes, looked at her with a pure

expression.

“What's the matter, Mommy?”

Alice shook her head, “I'm all right. Let's go home.”

“Ok.”

So Alice took Jack back home. On the elevator, Alice could not help but say, “I told the teacher that you

can’t be taken away by a stranger. What is going on today?”

With that, Alice looked to Jack seriously.

“You went with Uncle Manfred of your own accord, didn't you?”

Because they've met before.

When Jack raised his head and saw Alice’s serious look, he showed a guilty expression. “Mommy,

Mommy...”

“Am I right?” Alice's voice became stern, and she looked like a mother who was strict.

“Mommy...” Jack was afraid, dare not speak, holding the cake low.

“Why?” Alice helplessly looked at him, “Even if you have seen him, can’t you see my reaction? Why did

you go with him? Why did you get in his car? I can see that you made the move, not that he forced

you.”

Jack lower his head, dare not speak, but just silently be rebuked.
