Thomas Fisher answered the phone in front of Alice Turner and deliberately called out "Third Brother" to the person on the other end, letting her know the call was from Benjamin Shaw.

"Do you have time now? Accompany me for a drink." Benjamin’s voice sounded muffled and his mood was quite low.

Through the phone, Thomas sensed the unusualness of his third brother and looked at Alice leaning against his chest before saying to the person on the other end, "Okay! But you’ll have to wait for a while, I have something urgent to handle now."

He couldn’t feel at ease to drink until he settled her down.

"Alright! But don’t make me wait too long. I’ll be waiting for you at ’Night Owls’." Benjamin finished speaking and hung up before Thomas could respond.

Alice was leaning against Thomas the whole time. She heard his conversation with Benjamin clearly, "You go find him, I’ll take a taxi home."

She knew the urgent matter he was talking about was herself, so she straightened up and exited his embrace, turning to open the door to get out of the car.

"No, I’ll take you home!" Thomas reached out and pulled Alice, who was about to get out of the car, back, leaned over and pressed her into the seat. Regardless of whether she was willing, he pulled over the seatbelt and buckled it for her.

Seeing this, Alice couldn’t help but give him a reproachful look, "Since when did you become so domineering?"

In her impression, he had always been the warm guy type, dominion seemed unrelated to him.

"I have to be a bit domineering with you, otherwise I can’t rest easy." Thomas spoke earnestly, showing no signs of joking.

Hearing this, Alice blurted out a retort, "Are you afraid I’ll run away or something?"

As soon as she finished speaking, she saw his face darken.

"You are not allowed to run away anywhere in this life, you can only stay by my side." Thomas turned toward the woman in the passenger seat and faced her, looking at her with steady eyes, "I won’t give you a chance to leave me."

He wouldn’t force her to stay; he aimed to be twice as good to her, making her reluctant to leave him.

He didn’t intend to coerce her, he wanted her to willingly stay by his side.

Alice didn’t say anything but responded through action, leaning in to give him a kiss.

"Mmm..."

Thomas suddenly clasped her shoulders and pressed her back into his embrace, lowering his head to kiss deeply.

The kiss didn’t last very long, and afterward, Alice nudged the man hugging her, "Hurry up and take me home."

After speaking, she nudged him again, but he showed no awareness, continuing to hold onto her.

"What’s wrong? Can’t bear to part with me? Then don’t go." He still held onto her as she raised both hands to pinch his nose and fluttered her eyes at him.

Alice’s attempt at a seductive glance was somewhat clumsy, but even that awkward technique managed to electrify Thomas thoroughly, "That’s right, I don’t want to be apart from you even for a moment."

Before his words were finished, he lowered his head to kiss her again.

This time, his kiss became much more passionate than before, with his lips turning much hotter.

As the two were about to lost in the moment, Alice vigorously pushed away the somewhat overwhelmed Thomas, who wasn’t in a better state himself, with dazed eyes and flushed cheeks.

"Alice! You are so beautiful!" Seeing Alice with an alluring beauty, Thomas, unable to contain himself, again bent down to kiss her.
