My Dreamy Old Husband novel Chapter 1002

After hanging up on Sandra, Lucy kept waiting for Alice to give in to her. However, that didn’t happen despite several days of waiting, so she lost her patience and called Alice instead.

“Miss Alice, you’ll really lose the opportunity if you still don’t replace the agent for Dragon Eye!”

Alice was still in the Edwards Residence, and her personal assistant was packing her baggage. Unexpectedly, she received the swaggering phone call from Lucy.

She sounded indifferent over the phone. “Miss Edwards, I’m in a bad mood right now, so I don’t want to discuss work-related matters with you.”

Lucy thought Alice was worried about the hacking of Dragon Eye’s operating system, so after the phone call ended, she waited with a gloating expression for the latter to give in to her.

However, she didn’t know that Dragon Eye wasn’t the cause of Alice’s agitation at all.

Now that she had had everything handed over and arranged, she was ready to leave Cethos.

Casper reluctantly carried his little backpack on his back while running out to pat the alpaca, the cat, and the dog. After saying goodbye to Carmen and Ashton, he sat on the porch, as if waiting for someone.

However, it had been quite a few days since the last time that person showed up.

Casper had been looking forward to calling the person ‘Daddy’, but he never came again.

Carmen comforted him like an adult, saying, “Don’t wait anymore. Mr. Psychic has gone back to his hometown. He’ll be back when you spend your holiday here next time.”

In the end, Casper didn’t get to see Daniel. After leaving the Edwards Residence, he and Alice took a car to the airport to leave the country on a private plane.

In the car, Alice worked using her laptop, whereas Casper pouted his lips without saying a word while playing with the sandalwood bracelet he had brought with him.

Once arriving at the airport, Alice got out of the car. Casper, led by Alice’s assistant, slowly walked toward the airport in dejection.

Alice looked unusually frosty on this day, for she didn’t say a word and was expressionless the whole time. She indifferently and resolutely walked up the boarding stairs to board the plane. Unexpectedly, she had barely made a few steps when a loud screeching sound of car tires was heard approaching from behind.

“Alice!”

Alice trembled, for she heard Daniel’s voice.

He came!

Daniel came in a hurry. His usually neatly combed hair was utterly messy on this day, and his eyes were bloodshot. He looked haggard, with dark circles bulged under his eyes.

“Daddy!” Casper happily ran up to him. This was the first time Casper called him ‘Daddy’. Daniel quickly walked up to Casper and hugged him, holding the latter tightly in his arms.

This is my son! My son!

The father and son reconnected at last! Tears spilled out of Daniel’s eyes as he held Casper in his arms.

He then looked at Alice, who didn’t look back the whole time. She looked cold and resolute from behind, but her long, thin, and uncontrollably trembling fingers betrayed the surging emotions within her at this moment.

Daniel let go of Casper and stood up before looking up at Alice, who was about to board the plane. “Alice, if I could turn the clock back, I would never regret going to the River Seine that day, nor would I have chosen to run away from you. I was wrong; I was totally wrong. Can you forgive me, Alice?”

Daniel could never put that particular night out of his mind; he couldn’t forget this beautiful lady from the West for the rest of his life. But he couldn’t be together with her. He was a vagabond who wandered all over the world like a seaman, unable to live a settled life. Therefore, he chose to run away from her until now.

However, he acknowledged his heart’s desire on this day, for he knew he couldn’t run away from his feelings for Alice. Even if he buried his memory of the encounter in the depths of his mind, this memory would be conjured up one day. He couldn’t control the feelings that he had suppressed for so many years once they were released.
