Second Marriage

Chapter 352 Shame

Zain could only bring Yanis back to the room. Then he went downstairs to find Alice.

She seemed to be tired. Alice just lay on the sofa quietly and fell asleep.

When Zain walked past her, she suddenly turned over and was about to fall from the sofa to the cold

and hard floor. Zain stepped forward to hold her and put her back in place.

Zain was sweating after doing this.

He was very embarrassed now.

Zain stared at Alice who was in her sleep and shook his head helplessly. “You are making trouble for

me.”

After all, she was his sister.

He finally got up and carried Alice back to her room.

Then Zain went back to his room to wash up. When he entered the room, he found Jack lying on the

bed holding a pillow and looking at him.

“Zain, thank you for your work.”

Zain took off his shirt and said, “Go to sleep.”

Jack immediately turned over and covered himself with a quilt. He said, "Good night, Zain. See you

tomorrow.”

Hangover gave her a headache. When Alice woke up the next day, it was already late in the morning.

She turned over and felt her head hurt. She got up with discomfort.

‘What time was it?’

She reached for her phone to see the time. She found it was already ten o’clock in the morning. She

got up calmly and went into the bathroom to wash up.

When she went downstairs, she saw Zain sitting on the sofa holding a meeting with his laptop.

Alice didn’t greet him, but went directly to the kitchen and poured herself a cup of water to drink.

When she came out, Zain said, “Are you awake now?”

Zain, why haven’t you go to work?”

“I wanted to go. But I’m worried about you. You got drunk.”

Alice was a little embarrassed when she heard it. Even she didn’t expect that she would drink so much

wine.

She didn’t remember anthing after she got drunk. She asked,”Zain, have I said or done something

wrong?”

“What do you think?” Zain asked.

Alice smiled awkwardly and said, “I don’t know.”

“When you were abroad, you and Yanis used to get drunk?”

Alice was stunned for a while and then immediately shook her head and said, “No, we rarely drank

much wine when we were abroad.”

“Rarely?” Zain asked meaningfully.

“We…” Alice wanted to explain but she stopped when she saw his serious face. She felt uneasy. Alice

said, “Zain, Yanis and I would only drink some wine when we did work well. We didn’t behave like what

we did last night.

Because it was worse than he thought. They drank more wine at night in the past.

So it was not as same as last night. Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org exclusive © material.

Zain was angry but helpless. He held out to knead his temple and said, “Anyway, you should take good

care of yourself. I won’t restrict your action. However, if you indulge yourself in wine, I’ll send someone

to take care of you.” “

Alice’s face changed when she heard this. “Send someone to take care of me? What do you mean?

Zain just stared at her.

Alice blinked and asked, “Zain, are you serious?”

“Yes.” Zain turned and picked up the suit jacket and put it on. Then he sternly said while buttoning, “You

are an adult. As a mother, if you can’t take care of yourself well, then I, as your brother, must find

someone to look after you.”

“Zain... You can’t do it. I’m your sister. And nobody takes care of you now.”

She retorted but Zain still looked calm. He said in a cold voice,

“You know I’m your brother.”

Alice was silent.

As the younger sister, she would just listen to what he said.

“I have to go back to B City. When will you come back our Nelson family?”

“Can I...”

“No.”

“Well, I see. I have some works to do in B City. I’ll be back then.”

“Okay.”

Zain left after getting the answer that he wanted.

After he left, Alice stood at the window and messed up her long hair. In fact, her brother treated her

very kindly. But most of the time he was like a strict father.

She could accept his other requests, but she didn’t make a compromise in her love.

Although he didn’t let her meet other people in the past five years, he cared about Jack’s feelings and

her mind.

But what he said just now shows that he had the idea.

It was only a matter of time before she was called to meet a man.

She intended to find some ways to distract his attention.

At this time, Yanis rushed downstairs and looked at her nervously.

“Has your brother left?”

Alice said, “Yes, what’s the matter?”

Yanis was depressed and said, “It’s embarrassing. I was drunk last night. When I got up this morning, I

found that I couldn’t remember what happened last night.”

“Well,” Alice said lightly, “What's the matter? I’m drunk too.”

“But it was different!” Yanis followed her and said sadly, “You are his sister, and I am just your

assistant!”

“So?” Alice turned to look at her. She leaned against the desk and wrapped her arms around her chest.

Yanis felt depressed and said, “How can a ruthless woman like you understand my mind? I’m not his

sister. I’m just an ordinary woman. I got drunk in front of him. I must be very unreasonable at that time.

How would he think of me?”

“But you never care about it. Why do you mind it now?” Alice asked meaningfully.

Yanis’ face changed, and she realized what she had exposed. Then she stared at Alice.

“Do you like my brother?” Alice asked her in a low voice.

“No!” Yanis denied, “I don’t like him.”
