Chapter 369
Grace obediently gave the phone to Alyssa: “Sister, phone.”
Alyssa answered the phone, put it to her ear, and yelled, “Mr. Adams.”
After she finished speaking, she realized that she had just subconsciously exposed the fact that she knew his identity.
Karl didn’t seem to be surprised that Alyssa would know his identity, but said in a deep voice, “Miss, please tell me the address, and I will pick her up right away.”
His voice sounded very calm, with a commanding tone from a superior, making people unconsciously surrender.
Alyssa replied: “Okay.”
As soon as her voice fell, Karl hung up the phone.
Alyssa was a little surprised, didn’t he need to say goodbye to Grace?
Just hung up the phone?
…
Adams’s Office.
The secretary entered the president’s office with a stepped document, just in time to see Karl hung up the phone, stood up and picked up his coat as if he was going out.
The secretary quickened his pace and walked over and said carefully: “President, there will be a very important meeting in ten minutes.”
“Postponed.” Karl walked out without even looking at him.
The president said it was going to be postponed, and the secretary naturally had nothing to say.
The secretary walked out with Karl and asked, “To when will it be postponed?”
“When I come back.” Karl stopped and glanced at the secretary. The slightly twisted eyebrows represented his impatience at this time.
None of his secretaries and assistants fit his mind.
The secretary was caught in his eyes, and he quickly silenced, not daring to breathe.
Seeing that Karl was going out, the driver hurriedly followed.
Karl said indifferently: “Don’t follow, I drive by myself.”
“But the lady said…”
“Do you listen to her or me?” Karl turned his head when he heard the words, and narrowed his eyes to look at the driver: “Take my money and listen to others?”
Seeing that Karl’s expression was wrong, the driver quickly explained: “No… not like this, the president…”
Karl didn’t even bother to listen to his nonsense, so he pushed him away and got into the car.
While starting the car, he dialed Claire.
He was on the phone just now and didn’t ask the woman who called her why she was with Grace.
Even without asking, he can guess a little.
As soon as the call was connected, Claire’s dissatisfied voice rang: “Karl, I was about to call you. The meeting is about to begin. How about you?”
After Karl woke up three years ago, Claire also entered the Adams’ family to work.
At this time, where would Karl manage meetings?
Although he is a famous workaholic.
But between work and his daughter, he knew what was more important to him.
His voice is very cold: “Don’t let Miana step into the house in the future. I will save you face and tell you first. If I see her atmy house again, don’t blame me for being impolite.”
“What are you talking about, Karl? I asked you where you are now? It’s about to…” Claire didn’t know what kind of anger Karl was showing, and suddenly called and said these things to her.
No matter what Claire said, Karl just hung up the phone.
After hanging up the phone, Karl noticed that there was a traffic jam in front of him and couldn’t make it through for a while.
He had to take out his cell phone and call the woman again.
…
Alyssa and Grace waited in the dining room for a while, but they didn’t see Karl coming, but received his call.
“There is a traffic jam here, please wait a while, if it is really inconvenient, you can send her to the police station first.”
There was no nervousness in the man’s voice, and he was not as calm as a father who came to find his daughter.
Alyssa said angrily: “I’m very convenient.”
With such a small child, Karl had the heart to send her to the police station.
After hanging up the phone, Alyssa took Grace out of the restaurant.
The main reason is that children can’t sit still, being active is by nature.
Karl had been stuck in the car for a long time. When he came over, Alyssa had already taken Grace to the nearby park.
While Alyssa and Grace were squatting in the grass in the park watching the ants move, a man’s deep and pleasant voice came from behind: “Grace.”
Grace watched the ant move attentively, and was too involved to hear Karl calling her.
But Alyssa took the lead to look back.
She turned her head and saw the tall and straight man walking towards this side with strides, his eyes focused on the little meatball next to him.
It was too early for Alyssa to finish shopping with Tina before, and took Grace to eat again. After waiting for Karl for so long, it was already night.
The street lights in the park just turned on at this moment, and the man’s cruel face seemed much softer under the light.
Karl was originally a handsome-faced man, so it was even more pleasing to look at.
Alyssa couldn’t help but stare at it.
Karl approached, leaned slightly, stretched out his two long arms, and hugged Grace who was squatting on the ground.
Grace was puzzled for a moment, and then when she saw that the person holding her was Karl, he happily cried out: “Kalr!”
Alyssa was startled, her lips pursed and smiled.
Karl narrowed his black eyes slightly, and said in a bad tone, “Call me Dad.”
Grace snorted on his face very ghostly: “Dad!”
An imperceptible touch of tenderness flashed through Karl’s eyes.
This little meat group didn’t know who was with him. Every time she deliberately called him by name to challenge his authority. When his expression changed, she immediately called him father.
He was quite sure that Grace’s character did not follow him or Miana.
Karl touched her head, and carefully scanned Grace’s body back and forth, confirming that she was safe, and then turned to look at the quiet woman who had been silent.
At a glance, he felt that this woman made him feel familiar.
But he couldn’t remember where he had seen her.
Alyssa was just stared at by Karl, and she felt a strange feeling in her heart, and said aloud, “Since you have already come to pick up Grace, then I will go back first.”
Although she said so, her feet didn’t move.
It’s not that she didn’t leave, but that Karl didn’t speak, she didn’t dare to leave.
She didn’t know why she was so afraid of a strange man, but that was the message from her brain.
Karl didn’t speak, she couldn’t leave.
“Thank you very much for taking care of Grace. What kind of remuneration do you want?”
Karl finally spoke. Although it was a thank you note, looking at him with a blank expression on his face, Alyssa didn’t feel thankful at all.
Alyssa shook her head: “No, no matter who encounters this kind of thing, he would care about her. You have to look after your children in the future.”
Chapter 370
After Alyssa finished speaking, she glanced at Grace again.
Grace put her arms around Karl’s neck, tilted her head and yelled sweetly, “Pretty sister.”
“Yeah.” Alyssa responded, her voice unconsciously becoming gentle: “Grace can’t run around anymore.”
Only then did Karl remember why he was so familiar with the woman in front of him.
He remembered that when he was waiting for the red light at the intersection that day, Grace also called her “Pretty Sister”.
In the past three years, many celebrities and ladies have changed their methods and approached him to find a sense of existence.
He didn’t know why, he was not interested in all the so-called “beauties”, and he felt that they all looked the same.
Even Miana, Grace’s biological mother, he couldn’t take any interest.
Had it not been for him to make a DNA comparison between himself and Grace, he would never have believed that he would have been with Miana.
Compared with the last time he saw her, the woman in front of him has changed a lot, and she looks a lot more pleasing to the eye.
Last time he just glanced hurriedly, only remembering that it was a woman who was skinny and white as a ghost, how ugly.
It looks like a little meat now.
but……
Karl’s gaze fell on Alyssa’s slender wrists exposed, he suspected that he could crush her wrist bones with just a slight pinch.
Karl’s gaze was too sharp, and Alyssa was uncomfortable when she saw it.
She had to change the subject and asked: “Mr. Adams, you…on the phone before, how did you know that Grace asked her sister to call her?”
Karl narrowed his gaze and looked at her face, with an indifferent tone: “The elder people of the other s3x are called sisters.”
The fact is that as long as he sees the opposite s3x who thinks he is beautiful, he will call them “pretty sister” no matter how old she is.
“So…” Alyssa nodded.
The phone in her bag suddenly vibrated. Alyssa took it out and found that Tina was calling.
She didn’t pick up her mobile phone, and raised her head to hurriedly said to Karl: “Mr. Adams, I really don’t need any compensation. You must take good care of the child in the future. She is too young, so I will leave first.”
After she finished speaking, she glanced at Grace again, then lifted her foot and left.
As she walked, she took out her mobile phone to answer a cold call.
“Sorry, I forgot to call you back.” She forgot about it just now after playing with Grace.
She also realized that she actually likes children so much.
“It’s okay, are you home?”
“I’m going back now…”
Just as Alyssa hung up the cold call, Clifford’s call came in again.
Clifford was very quiet on the other side: “Where are you?”
Alyssa took a look at the time and found that it was past six o’clock, so she asked aloud: “I’m outside and I’m about to take a taxi back. Have you already gone home?”
Clifford said with a “Yeah”: “The address is here, I will pick you up.”
“No, you take a break, I’ll take a taxi and come back…” Alyssa knew that she couldn’t talk about it anymore, she definitely couldn’t help Clifford, so she hung up the phone.
At this time, it is the rush hour and it is not easy to take a taxi.
The leak happened in the evening rain. Before Alyssa could get the car, a thunder flashed in the sky and it started to rain.
It may be the last thunderstorm in the late summer. It was so fierce that the big raindrops hurt her face.
The thin clothes on Alyssa were soaked in the rain within a few strokes, and it didn’t help to find an advertisement to hide underneath.
The phone rang again at this moment.
Alyssa narrowed her eyes and glanced at it. It was a string of numbers without a name.
That was the phone call from Karl she had called before, and she didn’t save it.
She hesitated for a moment, but still connected the phone.
“Is there anything wrong with Mr. Adams?”
The man’s voice was low and deep, with the sound of dense rain hitting her eardrums: “Get in the car, take the co-pilot, you can’t stand there.”
When the voice fell, Alyssa heard a beep.
Looking up, a black car just drove in front of her, probably seeing her not there, it honked again.
Alyssa bit her lip, put her bag on her head, hurriedly walked over, opened the door of the co-pilot and sat in.
As soon as she sat down, she heard Grace’s milky voice from behind: “Pretty sister!”
Alyssa turned her head and saw Grace sitting in the child safety seat in the back row, with a box of milk in her mouth, her eyes curled into crescents with her smile.
She smiled and called out: “Grace.”
Karl drove forward and couldn’t help turning her head to look at Alyssa.
Except for looking a little more pleasing to the eye than other women, why does Grace like her so much?
Grace, who was sitting alone in the back row, raised the milk in her hand and said to Alyssa, “You drink it.”
A child’s mind is very simple. If he likes someone, he will be willing to share toys and food with her.
“I don’t drink it, Grace drinks it by herself.”
When Grace heard what she said, she hugged the milk and continued drinking.
Alyssa turned her head, and said apologetically to Karl: “Sorry, Mr. Adams, I got your car wet…”
Most people should say “It’s okay” at this time.
But Karl just responded indifferently, “Yes.”
Ok?
What do you mean?
Although it was raining outside, the temperature did not drop for a while, so the car was still air-conditioned.
Alyssa’s clothes were all wet, and she couldn’t help shivering when the cold air blew.
At this moment, the man beside her threw his suit jacket over and turned off the air conditioner.
The quality of the suit jacket is very good, the tailoring and design are very elegant, and there is a unique clean breath that belongs to the man.
Alyssa froze for a while while holding the suit jacket, then turned to look at Karl: “Mr. Adams…”
Karl just asked her aloud, “Where do you live?”
His tone was too decisive and tough, causing Alyssa to subconsciously report the address.
When Karl heard the words, he set up the navigation, and said nothing.
Alyssa looked at his neat profile face, hesitated for a moment, and wrapped his coat around.
Her current body is a little worse than that of ordinary people, and she does feel a little cold.
If she turns around and get sick, Clifford will be angry.
Grace in the back row fell asleep drinking milk, Karl didn’t speak, Alyssa let down the sound of breathing.
The carriage fell into silence, but there was a strange sense of harmony.
As if this scene had happened before.
When Alyssa lost her mind, Karl’s indifferent voice rang in her ears: “Here.”
She suddenly returned to her senses, and took off her coat: “Trouble Mr. Adams.”
Karl didn’t speak, watching her get out of the car and rush into the rain, her slender figure looked very fragile.
The hand on the steering wheel clenched unconsciously.
