Chapter 46
Daniel was on the way home when he got Rachel’s call. Frowning at her question, he asked, “No.
What’s wrong?”
“Well, Alice and I agreed that she would pick up the children at six. It is now seven, but there is no sign
of her yet. I have been calling her, and the children have sent her many messages. We have gotten no
response. Do you think something has happened to her?”
“Don’t worry. Nothing is wrong.” Daniel said calmly. “She’s probably delayed shooting a scene or
something.”
“Even if she’s working, she would not ignore her phone. Daniel, send your people out to look for her!
You’ve finally landed yourself a wife, don’t lose her! Do you hear me?”
Rachel was afraid that her brother was too much of a chauvinist and that Alice would come to her
senses one day and flee.
If that happened, it would be a catastrophic disaster.
“There is no possibility that I would lose her,” Daniel said with absolute confidence. He took a look at
the time. “I’m heading over right now to pick up the children first.”
“Fine. I’m going to keep calling Alice!”

“Hey, Josh, are you done with work?”
“There’s no shooting today. I went home to play games,” Josh confessed honestly.
Rachel signed in exasperation. “You rascal, can’t you spend less time on your games?” She wanted to
climb over to the other end of the line and give her cousin a beating.
Josh might be all grown up, but he would still sk ip work to play video games.
On the other end, Alice had leveled Josh’s rank to the top ten. Celebratory graphics exploded across
the computer screen.
Josh jumped up excitedly at the flashing words and loudly cheered. “Alice, you’re so awesome!
Continue playing! If I reach the top 5, I’ll give your husband a BMW!”
He went back to the call. “Sorry, Rachel, I can’t talk anymore. I have to go now! Bye!”
Rachel was astonished. Had she misheard Josh?
Did she hear Josh shout ‘Alice’?
How did they get mixed up together?
Did Josh and his big mouth tell her everything about their family?
Rachel grew more and more worried as she mulled over the issue. When Daniel reached her place,
she grabbed him and said, “Daniel, your wife is with Josh right now. Do you think Josh would divulge
everything?”
Daniel’s face darkened when he heard her. “Josh does not know that Alice and I are married yet!”
Daniel knew Josh’s personality well. If Josh had known from Alice that he and Alice were married, Josh
would have gone straight to him and kicked up a fuss.
Since Josh was still in the mood to play games, he probably had no idea.
“No, no, no. We must go over and grab that rascal!” Rachel massaged her throbbing temples. “But if I
go over with you, Josh would find out.”
She paced in circles for a bit before an idea struck her. “I’ll call Josh right now to lure him away. You
can then go and pick up Alice.”
Daniel nodded. “Sure.”
Still, he did not look happy at all. His dark mood affected the children too.
All four of them sat there, appearing like four icy statues.
Daniel led Rachel and the children into his car. Rachel rang Josh again. “Hey, Josh. I’m at your place.
Come down now!”
Josh was in a good mood because Alice had helped him get into the top 3 in ranking. He said, “Sure.
Give me a few
Rachel.”

He handed the keys to Alice. “You can keep playing. I’m going to see my cousin. When I get back, we
can have a candlelight
dinner!”
Alice took the keys. It suddenly occurred to her that she should check the time.

Chapter 46
When she picked up her phone, she saw that she had received numerous missed calls from Rachel
and many messages from the children. Alice remembered that she had promised to pick them up.
They had already been waiting for two hours. The children must be worried sick.
Alice called Rachel right away. “I’m sorry, Rachel. I was dragged away by my friend at the last minute.
“Don’t worry about it. Daniel has already picked up the children. Why don’t you call him?” Rachel
glanced at the sullen look on her brother’s face as she spoke.
Alice agreed at once and hung up the call. She called Daniel next.
To her utter disbelief, the man hung up on her for the first time!
