Cold-Hearted Princess Novel

Chapter 115 The question

After I received his message, my mood was worse. I knew he loved me, and I trusted in him. But I hated that his family forgot me easily, and they tried to push him to Amber. I missed him, and I wanted to see him every single day. When he took me home from the hotel, I had an idea. I didn’t know what Riccardo would say, but I thought it was worth trying.

I called Beth a day before, and I told her I had some problem with my stomach. She wasn’t happy at all, but she had to accept that I wasn’t feeling well, so I couldn’t train, I knew I was good, and after missing a day of trianing I could get hack to where I was, so I thought losing one day wouldn’t count.

Riccardo took his little family for a day out, so I had to wait until the evening to talk to him. Alexandra found me first straight after they arrived back, and she wanted to know every single detail, of course. I told her everything. There was no point in denying I spent the entire night and morning with him. I was certain about Riccardo’s people made him aware that I didn’t come home in the evening.

After I reported everything to Alexandra, I told her about my plan. She wasn’t happy at all because of my safety, but she understood why I thought about it. She was concerned about what Riccardo would say, but she thought if I would explain the situation to him smartly, he would help me out.

I went to his working room, and I knocked. He shouted from inside to go in, so I walked in. He sat at his desk and he read something

“May I sit down?”

He motioned to me to use the chair opposite him, I sat down.

“How was your night?” He asked. I fell my cheeks burning. That was something that I really didn’t want to discuss with him.

“It was nice.”

Did

id he behave himself?” Property © 2024 N0(v)elDrama.Org.

“Yes.” I am

I smiled while I moved my gaze to the ground.

“Good” He said, then he remained quiet.

“Alice.” He called me, as I was deep in thought. I felt stupid for a moment. I lifted my head up to look at him suddenly,

“I assume you came here for a reason.”

“Yes.” I said, but I desperately tried to find the words I needed to explain smartly why I came to see him.

“Will you tell me?”

I gave up on thinking, then sighed,

“I’m just… I just remember you said maybe later I could have a flat or something. He lifted his eyebrow up.

“Don’t you feel good here?”

“It’s not that. I love being with you and Alexandra and Matteo, but-

“You want to have some privacy with that… Gideon. Is that right?”

1 bit my lower lip in embarrassment. But I looked at him suddenly when I heard him laugh

“Alice, don’t feel bad about asking me something, especially something that I have promised I’ll give you.”

Lexhaled.

“Look, I don’t mind if this is what you really want, but note that you’ll always have my people around till we catch Charles.”

I nodded.

“I think I got un

uned to that already“.

Chapter 115 The question

“I’m happy to hear that.” He said seriously, like that was the only thing I could do I smiled.

“I’ll find a flat for you tomorrow. I’ll let you k

know when you can view it, and if you like it, then it’s yours.”

Hearing that, I stood up, moved behind him, and I hugged him.

“Thank you.”

He put his hand on mine, and he parted it.

“You are welcome, Alice.”

I let him a

go, and I looked at him with a smile and he smiled back at me. I walked to the door, but before I would have left, I heard his voice again.

*Invite him for dinner tomorrow.”

I looked at him with a frown.

“He is so clueless yet. If he wants to be with my daughter, he must spend time with Alexandra and I, so he can learn from us.”

I chucked, then I nodded. After leaving his room, I just leaned against the wall, taking a deep breath and exhaled slowly. I was thrilled. I had to admit that I started to like him as my dad. For the first time in my life, I felt I got a parent who loved and supported me out of love. I couldn’t be more grateful to him for finding me.

I rushed back to my room, getting ready for dinner.

We had dinner in a good mood. Alexandra and Riccardo told me about how their day was, and what Matteo did, which was funny. We had a good time, just like always

After dinner, I went upstairs with them to put the little one to sleep, then after wishing good night, I went to my room. I had a shower, and I just went to bed when my phone vibrated. My heart warmed up to see Gideon texted me, but after I have read his message I felt sad for him. I wasn’t jealous, really. I just felt like I wanted to comfort him. To hear what they were forcing him to do made me angry too, and I hoped he could come and have dinner with us tomorrow. I knew he wouldn’t refuse the Invitation. Not just because of me, but because of Riccardo as well. I couldn’t wait to see him again. Knowing that I had him, even if we could meet secretly for a little while, made me feel at ease.

The next morning, I woke up early again. I texted Beth in the evening to let her know I felt better. After I finished my morning routine, I ran to my car. I drove to the sports centre, and I was there in time, before she would have arrived. I had more time to warm up, which was really needed as I missed the training yesterday. But when she arrived, she looked at me, surprised.

“Alice, you don’t look sick at all.” She frowned.

“No, I told you I feel much better. Probably I just eat something that I shouldn’t. I had a little diarrhoea, but thanks to the medications, I’m fine.”

She looked at me with a terrified look, which made me frown this time.

“Alice, what kind of medication did you take?”

“Just some diarrhoea relief. W

Why?” I didn’t understand her reaction at all.

“Show me the package.” She commanded,

“It isn’t here.” I stuttered, while I desperately tried to find the words, not knowing what I did so wrong. “I can bring asked, but 1 regretted that instantly, because she put her palm on her forehead like she was in pain. She exhaled slowly, like she tried to stay calm. that in tomorrow. But why?” I

“Alice, you are going to the Olympics. You can’t just take anything that you want.” She yelled at me. “If you fail the doping tests, they will suspend you They will prohibit you from the whole competition and from participating in all the events. Do you want that?”

For a moment, I didn’t know what to say. Especially because I didn’t tell the truth. I had no problem at all, and I didn’t take any medications.

I swallowed and looked at her.

“Beth, it was only a diarrhoea relief, and the games are still more than half years away. I’ll get the box in tomorrow, but I really don’t think that medication would cause that tremendous problem?”

Chapter 115 The question

She took a deep breath and exhaled.

“Bring that box in tomorrow. I’ll get it checked by a doctor, and next time, take nothing without asking me or a doctor assigned by the coach. Understand?”

“I promise.” 1 said. She still looked frustrated, but she nodded.

“Go on the ice, and practise your free program. We’ll have a gala at the beginning of next month. I want you to perform. Some international judges will attend. That could be useful for you before the olympics.”

I nodded.

I walked to the gate, but I also had something on my mind. There was something that I really wanted to try. Something that had no scores. I used to chase that for a while, and I never landed on my feet yet, but I have never trained so hard like now. My physical strength never been better, so it made me believe I could achieve that dream of mine this time. I glanced at the ground, then 1 looked at her.

“What is it?” She asked, still with a hint of anger in her voice.

“Beth, there is something that I practised in Canada, and I so wanted to achieve that, but I had to have that break. But now I am training harder than before, and I want to try that.”

“What is it?”

*Five quads.”
