After the operation, Alice had been thinking about the matter a lot, and she thought it was rather weird.
Why did the guy who called himself my husband help me so much? Why did he hurt Jude for me? It
was too weird to be chalked up as a selfless act of justice. On top of that, she could not seem to forget
his light brown eyes.
It reminded her of her brother who went missing ten years ago, as he too had the same light brown
eyes. They were like magnets that could suck out the souls of those who gazed into them.
When she made that connection, Alice started to make a mental image of Kingsley. She realized that
even though he had grown up, she could still see that he resembled his younger self. Since then, she
knew that the one who helped her out was her brother who had gone missing for a decade.
She wanted to reunite with him, but Jude’s family pressed charges after Kingsley injured him severely.
They would not stop until Kingsley was jailed, hence Alice could only sacrifice her career by giving all

sure Kingsley would not have to bear any legal responsibility.
Just like Reene, she could give everything up for Kingsley, including her own career. She did not tell
Kingsley that she had recognized him even after that ordeal. She knew Kingsley would not stop if he
knew what happened. He might cause even more problems, so she decided to wait. She would reunite
with him after this whole affair was over.
Alice wanted to refuse when Kingsley asked her out earlier, but just hearing his voice made her waver.
She could not hold back her longing anymore, and she agreed. I’ll just keep my identity a secret. It’s
just dinner. She wanted to see how he was doing and alleviate some of her longing.
The moment she walked into the restaurant, Alice saw Kingsley sitting beside the window. Kingsley’s
eyes shone too, and he smiled. Alice was wearing a short-sleeved shirt, and he could vaguely see her
tank top underneath. She had paired that shirt with tight-fitting jeans that accentuated her beautiful
legs. It was just regular attire, but it still looked sexy on her. The aloof air she was putting on attracted
all the men’s attention right away.
Alice felt their stares, and she frowned. Disgust bubbled within her, but that did not stop the crowd from
gasping in awe.
“She’s so f*cking beautiful.”
“She looks feisty. I wonder what kind of man can make her open up.”
“Wow, this is a textbook kuudere.”
……
…
Kingsley was a little speechless about how in awe everyone was. The restaurant’s business was
booming thanks to it being near the hospital. There were no rooms left when he came to make the
reservation, so he had picked a window seat, since it was quieter in comparison. He never expected

Alice came to the table and sat down across from Kingsley. Only then did she stop frowning.
Everyone was giving Kingsley looks of envy, while Kingsley chuckled. “We meet again, doctor.”
Alice was happy to see Kingsley again after a decade, though she was surprised as well. He was just a
young boy back then, but now he had become a brave and handsome man. She wanted to tell him she
had recognized him, but she held that urge back. Alice tried her best to look as aloof as possible.
“Thanks for helping me out. You can get whatever you like.”
She did not even look away for a moment. How could she? It had been ten years since she last saw
him. She could finally stare as much as she wanted, and she would take that chance.
Kingsley was feeling a little creeped out from being stared at. He touched his face, asking, “Is there
something on my face?”
“No.” Alice was trying her best to keep her voice as calm as possible and kept up her aloof act. “I just
like to stare at people when I eat.”
Huh? Did she find out she has fetishes now?
