How is it that she hated flowers? If it seemed like she liked them while in bed, what was the reason for this drastic change in Alice? Why?"I like them and thought you might too. Carnations are beautiful, Alice. But I understand. If they're not to your liking, that's fine.""And now what will I do with all the flowers I've spread throughout the house? I brought as many as I could! Everything is filled! Everything!""They've prepared breakfast for us, and I've brought you some things. I want us to celebrate our wedding anniversary, Alice."If they came from him, she didn't like the flowers.Alice opened the bathroom door to leave, but Robert didn't move, waiting for a response from her."I'm not celebrating anything," she said firmly. "I have nothing to celebrate.""Alice... I've prepared some things, and they might be to your liking. Will you give it a try? I have a surprise for both of us for our anniversary. If you give me a chance, you might even like it.""I'm not celebrating any

None of it was very grand for Alice. She came from a wealthy family, and all she knew were luxuries; her life had always been surrounded by that. She was aware of the quality of the dress she was wearing and the other things Robert had bought for her, but none of it amazed her. She only wore the most expensive clothes, the most luxurious and costly garments, just like her sisters. She didn't show off, but she always liked to dress well, even with the insecurities she carried, because they weren't always present. She only felt bad about her body when others made her feel inferior, and that wasn't always the case.She grew up with a lot of love, always spoiled, the youngest of all her sisters and with a big age difference. She had fully enjoyed life until she got married. But when she put on that dress, when she saw how it hugged her body and transformed her into a beautiful figure, Alice felt good. She stood in front of the mirror for a few minutes, just looking at herself. When was th

He only needed two days to think it over. He really didn't have to dwell on the matter so much, because if the marriage still ended, the Taylors would come out ahead, right? So, what was it that troubled Mr. Taylor so much? He had several pieces of evidence that this could work, but he was already coming to terms with the fact that it wouldn't be the case with young Alice, why? Mr. Taylor was unaware that Alice was in love with someone else. He didn't know. And that's why he didn't understand how, in a year, nothing had worked out between Alice and Robert Graham. Robert wasn't in love with someone else, so why wouldn't he fall in love with his daughter? She was a beautiful, intelligent woman, and she... had she not said she was going to put her part into making things work? 'No, it can't be just that.' Mr. Taylor thought. 'Robert Graham isn't in love with someone else, why can't he fall in love with my daughter? She's a beautiful woman, intelligent, and she...didn't she say she wa

The phone had rung a few times and Jared decided to turn it off, more so when he saw that it was Robert who had been calling over and over again for a while. On his bed was Alice, waiting for him. She had her cheeks very flushed and all her hair tousled, while her hands clutched at the sheets at her chest level with several blonde locks strewn across it. It was young Taylor's first time enjoying sex, and what better than with the man she loves? A naked Jared climbed into bed with her, withdrawing his arms so he could remove the sheets covering her. “Are you okay?" he asked, letting his head rest on her breasts as he cupped one between his hands."Better than ever," she whispered, feeling fantastic. "I... I've longed for this moment, Jared." She had felt so good, absolutely perfect. "I think Sofia will be quick with the work. Do you know Simon?""No, not in person," he replied. Simon was Sofia's husband."He's a good guy.""That's not what I've heard," Jared responded. Simon

Here's the translated text with dashes replaced by double quotes:"It was very late that night to go to the Taylors' house, Robert had to wait for the long night to pass and then go there, relying on a last attempt, a last chance, perhaps to prove that he was not useless or to try to recover what his family was about to lose, presumably because of him.Although he didn't have much hope of recovering the company, because he knew that's what Mr. Taylor always wanted, to take over Graham Group.What would he do? What did he have planned? Because he definitely had a plan.His father no longer believed in him and he had nothing left, his marriage had been a disaster in which Robert insisted on taking out everything inside him against his wife, so he couldn't count on her to help him, but did he plan to ask Alice for help? Not after realizing it was always Jared Sinclair.He knew that Alice and Jared had always been in love, he had no plans to try anything with her, not now that his friend
