Early the next morning.
Alice got up from bed with dark circles around her eyes. To prevent the children from noticing anything,
she deliberately applied concealer.
As the kids needed to go to school, she quickly prepared breakfast.
“Aidy, when Benny’s at the kindergarten, remember to care for him more.” Alice patiently reminded the
boy as she packed the children’s lunchboxes.
Aidy nodded, looked at his dad, who had remained quiet on the side, and then asked, “mommy, will you
be taking us to school together with Daddy later?”
Alice did not look at Daniel as she said, “You two want the little sandwich? I’ll add some for you.”
Seeing that Alice did not mention going to the kindergarten with him, Daniel’s visage became slightly
gloomy, and he announced in a clear, cold voice, “I’ll be going to work!”
And then, without saying another word to Alice, he took his briefcase and left the house.
The three children looked at their dad’s silhouette as he left and then at Alice, and they could not help
but frown.
Daddy and mommy Alice had quarreled. What should they do?
Seeing the kids’ reaction, Alice promptly snuggled up to them, gently stroked their faces, and
explained, “Your daddy and I are playing a game of ‘Whoever speaks first loses.”
“So before the winner’s decided, please don’t worry about it, okay?”
“Just a game?” Coco asked with suspicion.
Alice gave a heartfelt nod. “Of course, it’s a game! Me and your daddy have made a deal that whoever
loses will give the other one a rose! So kids, please give mommy Alice some encouragement. I must
win over Daddy!”
Seeing Alice explain it so sincerely, the three kids looked at each other and stopped suspecting.
When exiting the house, they were still as happy as before.
And they even gave Alice encouragement and support as she had asked them to.
“mommy, you must win over Daddy! Let him buy you a very, very big bunch of roses!” Aidy said while
also nudging Alice’s elbow.
He said in an especially sincere tone, “Daddy has lots of money. He can afford it.”
Seeing the kids’ cute behavior, Alice nodded and smiled. “Okay, mommy will make sure to extort a big
sum from your daddy!”
That morning, in the Kaur Group conference room, the company’s host of higher-ups received such
hellish torture from their CEO that they felt like foaming from their mouths and giving up on life due to
the agony.
In the end, they all came forth to seek help from Dax and Larry.
The two special assistants got together for a brief meeting, and then they concluded that Mr. Kaur must
have quarreled with his wife.
And they could do nothing about the quarrel between this just-married young couple.
Feeling helpless in the end, the two special assistants contacted William.
Since reading Alice’s Instagram post last night, William had suspected conflict between them, and now
with the message from the special assistants, he was even more sure of it.
And so he rushed into Daniel Kaur’s office with a bag of snacks. “Daniel, you fought with Alice, didn’t
you?”
Daniel’s face was still gloomy due to Alice not speaking to him in the morning, and he did not want to
pay William any
attention.
“Don’t deny it. Alice even made an Instagram post last night.”
It was then that Daniel raised his head and gave William a look. “I didn’t see that.”
“You didn’t get blocked, did you?” William expressed his worry.
It was not that Alice had blocked Daniel, but rather that last night, the vaunted CEO, in a fit of anger,
had changed his Instagram settings so as not to see what Alice posted on Instagram.

Seeing that his brother’s expression was still sour, William shifted closer and said, “Bro, Alice is still a
young girl in her prime. It’s normal for her to throw a little tantrum.
“At your age, you should let her have her way. That’s how to get along in marriage.”
“You’ve been married before?” Daniel snorted, clearly regarding what his younger brother just said as
bull sh it.
“You don’t have to have eaten pig meat to know how a pig runs!” Taking on the manner of a
relationship expert, William shifted even closer and continued to ask, “Just tell me first, why are you two
upset?”
Daniel replied that there was nothing to say.
Knowing his temper, William took out his phone without hesitation and searched the contact list.
“Daniel, if you don’t say, I’ll tell Grandpa and Grandma that you can’t live with Alice anymore!” This content © Nôv/elDr(a)m/a.Org.
