Stinging heart

She looked at Ivelle and said, ”Ivelle, can you tell me about you and your cautious words? His temper has always been very cold. I used to go back to Hempstead to sneak a look at him, but he avoided me until the last time he came to the capital, he unexpectedly told me that he wanted to take you to stay in the capital for a few days.” She just paused for a few seconds before continuing, ”I did not expect that he would like to come to the capital to see me, but also with you.”

Seeing that Alice’s eyes were a little red and swollen, Ivelle panicked and said, ”The Astley family is your home at any time. As long as you are willing to go back, Astley family will welcome you at any time.”

She looked at her and laughed. ”After all these years, my father must not want to see me.”

’Grandpa?’ She thought to herself.

Ivelle was stupefied. She looked at her and said, ”Grandpa died a few months ago, did you not know?”

She was holding the hand of the coffee cup and looked at her in disbelief. ”What are you talking about?”

Ivelle was so surprised by Alice’s look that she did not know how to respond. She thumped for a moment and saw her suddenly bow her head and took a long breath, and her eyes turned a little red. Alice looked at Ivelle and confirmed, ”What’s wrong with my father?”

”Grandpa has been in poor health these years. He died with rectal cancer at the end of last year.”

”Father.” The coffee cup in front of her fell on the ground. She panicked as she heard the shattered sound and so she squatted down to pick it up, but the waiter came forward to deal with it.

Her voice trembled and said again and again, ”I’m sorry, I’m sorry.”

The waiter shook his head hurriedly. ”No, it’s all right. I’ll just clean it up.”

Ivelle reached out to help her. She did not know how to comfort her. Her apologies were not for the waiters, but for her deceased father. After all, the coffee shop was a public place and Alice was an elegant and sophisticated woman. She was in a panic and recovered in a moment when she did not know what to do. It was just that the look on her face was no longer like the well-behaved woman when she came here, and even if she smiled, it looked a little far-fetched.

”Auntie, it’s getting late. Let’s go back!” Ivelle spoke because she thought that such a thing, she may not be in the mood to continue shopping.

Alice nodded, ”Well, let’s go. You should also go home and have a good rest. You are tired after a long day of shopping.”

At the door of the coffee shop, Alice stopped abruptly. Ivelle was holding her bag and noticed that Alice was not in front of me. They were was shocked to see what made Alice stop along the way.

The world for enemies was just too small!

Laura was at the door of the coffee shop. Behind her was Aaron who had his car keys in his hand. It seemed that he had just parked his car and came in.

”Aaron, get the car because we’re leaving. Some dirty and slimy snake is here!” Laura spoke with a little bitterness on her face. Aaron glanced at Alice and Ivelle so he frowned slightly and nodded to follow what his mother said. They both turned to leave and were stopped by the waiter. ”Are you two drinking coffee? This way, please.”

Laura looked at the waiter and fixed her eyes on Alice and said, ”Your shop is more suitable for entertaining such infamous women. The gathering place of the other woman is very good, but it is not suitable for me!”

The waiter was stupefied and looked at Alice. The coffee shop was quiet although occupied by lots of people, and the commotion here attracted the attention of many people with some whispering.

”What is this woman talking about?”
