บท 139: Expecting a Young Mistress

Perhaps because he had a close experience of almost losing her, this time Helian Chen visited Alice more frequently. She had joined a school, she was treated well by her new parents and she was living the life that she always deserved and that made him feel relieved. 

''Will you be there for my 14th birthday, Brother Chen?" the little girl held his hand and swayed it back and forth as she glanced at him with doe eyes. 

''I might not be able to come.'' 

Her beautiful eyes welled up with tears, ''But why?" 

''Because I have my exams. I will come a week before your birthday and we will celebrate your birthday together. What do you think?" he wiped the drop of tear that rolled down her cheeks. 

Her eyes sparkled and she immediately nodded. 

The week before her birthday arrived and Helian Chen kept his promise to visit her. His father was busy with some work so he did not tag along and sent more bodyguards to protect him.
