Marry A Hidden Billionaire (Alice and Daniel) novel Chapter 14

Chapter 14
Chapter 14
Hearing the sound, Alice immediately took out her phone from her purse and saw it was a call from her assistant, Candice. It was then that Alice noticed the time and that she needed to go to the makeup room at the filming set.
Alice glanced at Daniel. Then, she swiped her phone to answer the call. She said, “Hello, Candice…”
“Alice, why haven’t you arrived yet?” Gandice said. “Mr. Richards has been waiting for you at the set since early morning, and he’s even dressed in a groom’s attire. It’s outrageous!”
“Uh… I had some unexpected matters to attend to, so I couldn’t make it there,” Alice said. “Can you please apologize to the director on my behalf? And don’t worry about Mr. Richards for now. I’ll be there in about forty minutes.”
After hanging up the phone, Alice had no choice but to inform Daniel. “The film crew is about to start shooting, so I need to go there first,” she said. “See you at the hospital later.”
As Alice finished talking, she saw Benny and Coco clinging to her legs. They blinked their big eyes, looking reluctant to let her go.
Seeing his sons’ reactions, Daniel rubbed his temples, walked over, pressed down on their shoulders, and said, “Miss Alice needs to work. Don’t stop her.”
Upon hearing the word “stop,” the two children’s eyes instantly welled up with tears.
Daniel wanted to say something. However, looking at his children’s expressions, he shook his head and said, “Never mind. Let’s all accompany her there.”
The two children instantly went from tears to smiles, immediately grabbing Alice’s hands.
Alice could not bear to part with the children too, so she explained the situation to Rachel. Then, she got into the car with Daniel and his sons.
After Rachel and the rest returned home, they immediately recounted everything they saw and heard to their family members.
Marie Kaur listened with a stunned expression, taking a while to recover before clapping her hands and bursting into laughter. She said, “Quick, Rachel, go to the church to pray to Heavenly Father. Our family has finally got a wonderful daughter-in-law.”
Alfred Kaur was beaming with joy too. “Quick, William, tally up our family’s properties. We must gift Alice a few properties. We are beholden to her, so we mustn’t overlook to treat her well.”
Members of the Kaur family surrounded Rachel and asked her questions. Rachel smiled and quickly reminded them. She said, “Grandpa, Grandma, Uncles, don’t forget that Daniel has told Alice that our family is not well off.
“She hasn’t had feelings for Daniel yet, so we can’t expose the fact that we’re well off.”
Marie looked displeased. “You little rascal, Daniel! He should count himself lucky that a girl is willing to marry him. It’s amazing that he still has the audacity to conceal his identity.”
Alfred also looked displeased. He asked, “So, does that mean we can’t give our granddaughter-in-law any gifts?”
“It’s not that we can’t,” Rachel said, quelling the dissatisfaction of the elders in her family. “Let’s just wait patiently. You know Daniel’s temper. He won’t truly believe in someone until he thoroughly assesses their character.”
Upon hearing this, Alfred glared fiercely at his eldest son, Hector Kaur, and disdainfully said, “Look at the son you raised. He’s so cun ning and full of schemes. Annoying as hell!”
Hector could only hod in agreement apo logetically. Inwardly, he scolded his eldest son harshly.
Upon arriving at the set, Alice tossed the car key to Daniel. She then gave a quick hug to Aidy and Coco.
“Darlings, I’m going to the film set now,” Alice said. “After I’m done shooting in the afternoon, I’ll go to the hospital to see Benny with all of you, okay?”
The two children nuzzled in Alice’s arms, reluctant to let go. However, they understood that she had to work, so they soon let her go.
“Mommy, we’ll be waiting for you!” Aidy said as he made a small heart gesture to Alice. “Come back early.”
Coco also imitated his elder brother and made a heart gesture. “Waiting for you, Mommy,” he said.
Upon hearing the two darlings call her “Mommy,” Alice’s heart swelled instantly. It was as if something had filled her heart completely.
She had never imagined that after five years of being alone, she would have the opportunity to have two precious darlings
that were so warm…
