Chapter 1604: Can’t Call Her Name Enough

Alice thought Anthony would be back soon, but she and Thomas Fisher had been waiting in the living room for over five hours without seeing him return. Alice was getting a bit sleepy from the wait.

"If you’re tired, go back to your room and rest. I’ll wait here and call you when he returns." Seeing her start to yawn repeatedly from exhaustion, Thomas felt a pang and urged her to go upstairs to rest.

Alice shook her head and leaned against Thomas’s body. "I’ll just nap here for a bit."

After waiting for so long, that guy should be back soon. She figured she could just take a quick nap.

"Lie on the sofa with your head on my lap."

Worried she might be uncomfortable leaning like that, Thomas let her lay down on the sofa with her head on his lap so she would be more comfortable.

Alice was not fussy and lay down as he suggested. "Remember to call me when Jacob returns."

She was really quite sleepy, and after instructing the man, she immediately closed her eyes and drifted off to find slumber.

Due to worrying about Anthony’s safety, Alice hadn’t slept well last night. Just as she was about to take a nap in the morning, she was woken up by a call from Thomas Fisher.

Afterwards, she was on the plane for quite a while, and now she was deeply drowsy. In no time, she was in a slumbering state.

Worried about waking her from her slumber, Thomas didn’t dare to carry her to her room right away. Instead, after half an hour, seeing how deeply she was sleeping, he finally picked her up and stood up.

With a maid leading the way, he carried her to a room on the second floor, the room Anthony referred to as hers.

The room was simply and neatly decorated, matching her personality perfectly.

Gently, Thomas laid the sleeping Alice on the bed, pulled the quilt over her, and gave her a light kiss on the corner of her lips. Then, he lay down beside her.

He, too, was quite tired and sleepy, but he didn’t want to close his eyes to rest. His eyes were wide open, staring directly at her as she slept.

"Alice! Alice..."

Silently, Thomas called out to her in his heart as she slept. Her name, he thought, was the most beautiful name in the world, a name so beautiful he felt he could never call it enough.

Whether he was truly too tired or influenced by her presence, shortly after, he also quietly closed his eyes and fell asleep.

While the two of them were sleeping soundly in the room, Anthony returned alone. Hearing the maid say that his sister and brother-in-law were sleeping in the room, his mind immediately wandered.

The word "sleep" instantly took on a dirty connotation in his ears, as if it were the most intimate of acts between a couple.

"No one is allowed to go upstairs and disturb my sister and brother-in-law’s sleep. Go make something delicious, so they can replenish their strength later." Anthony sat, legs crossed, like a boss in the middle of the sofa, ordering the maids at home.

Upon receiving the order, the maids immediately got busy in the kitchen.

After more than two hours of hard work, a sumptuous feast was laid on the table.

"Young Master! The meal is ready." A maid came to report.

"Go upstairs and call my sister... Actually, never mind, I’ll go up and call them myself."

Anthony initially wanted the maid to call Alice and Thomas down for dinner, but thinking it might be inappropriate, he decided to go up himself.

Thinking about going upstairs to interrupt their "good time," he felt a thrill and wore a mischievous smile on his face.
