Chapter 1096 - 569: Extra Story: I Want to Be Alone With You
Just as she felt his warm lips almost touching her neck, she suddenly pushed him away, "I’m sorry, Claud... I... I’m not ready." After speaking, Alice fled like a frightened rabbit, lifting the hem of her gown and running out of the car...Alice ran all the way to the villa’s entrance hall, leaning tightly against the pillar in front.
Aunt PA had seen Claud Laurence bringing Alice back for a while, but she didn’t expect Alice to run home as if she’d been frightened...
"Miss..."
Seeing Aunt PA, Alice calmed down a bit, "Mm."
Aunt PA approached to help, "What’s wrong?"
Alice shook her head, turned to look in the direction of Claud Laurence’s car.
Claud Laurence’s car had already started, and it was currently leaving the Robinson villa.
Alice sighed in frustration, lifting the hem of her gown and walked into the villa.
Aunt PA followed behind Alice, asking with concern, "Miss, did you have a quarrel with General Laurence?"
Alice shook her head.
"Then what’s wrong?"
"Aunt PA, please don’t ask me... I’m so tired, I want to go back to my room to sleep."
"Alright, alright... I won’t ask, as long as you didn’t fight with General Laurence, that’s good. I’ll go to sleep now."
"Where’s Rachel?"
"Rachel is already asleep..."
"Mm, you go rest!"
"Yes."
After Aunt PA left, Alice sat alone on the sofa in the hall.
She took off her high heels, and tiredly leaned on the sofa.
Her thoughts were very chaotic... Her mind repeatedly flashed images of Chester Robinson and Claud Laurence, finally freezing on Chester Robinson.
Yes, she wanted to see him.
"Aunt PA..."
Alice habitually called out.
Just about to go rest, Aunt PA hurriedly came over, "Yes, Miss."
Alice stood up from the sofa, calmly asking, "Has my brother come back?"
Tonight, apart from seeing him sitting in the audience during the jewelry auction, she hadn’t seen him at all...
She was an impatient person. If there was something on her mind, she couldn’t let it stay there forever, so she had to ask him clearly about why he went to meet Eric Grant and others. Could it be she’s right, that he’s actually helping her?
If Alice had any illusions a second ago, this moment, when Aunt PA opened her mouth, the illusion in Alice’s mind suddenly shattered like a falling crystal.
"Mr. Robinson... He did come back a few minutes before you, but he came back with Miss Yule."
"Miss Yule? Charlotte Yule?"
Aunt PA nodded.
Alice was stunned, unable to regain her composure for a long time.
"Are you saying he’s resting upstairs with Charlotte Yule now?"
Aunt PA nodded again.
Alice stepped back slightly, her gaze suddenly turning vacant.
"Miss, Miss..."
"Ah?"
"What’s wrong?"
"What’s wrong with me? Nothing... I’m just tired, I’m going to my room to sleep."
"Oh."
Alice lifted the hem of her gown, walking alone toward the second floor.
After seeing Aunt PA return to the servant’s quarters to rest, Alice’s pace slowed down, her body suddenly seemed to lose strength, leaning against the stair railing, lost in thought for a long time.
After a very long time, Alice slowly walked toward the second floor.
At this moment, walking down the hallway of the second floor rooms, Alice was somewhat despondent.
Passing by Chester Robinson’s room, Alice’s pace hesitated.
The hallway was so quiet that only Alice’s breathing could be heard... and the sound from Chester Robinson’s room.
The bed in his room was moving, creaking...
She could vaguely hear Charlotte Yule’s heavy breathing, so coarse...
At this moment, Alice bit her lip, an unspeakable sadness made her eyes burn with pain... The next second, she lifted the hem of her gown and dashed into her room.
Rachel was sleeping soundly in the cradle, looking very sweet...
Alice sat stunned at the edge of the bed, her eyes beginning to blur.
She was really foolish. Just because of one sentence from a private detective, her mind was disturbed for the entire evening...
She wanted to ask clearly why he was helping her, wanted to see if he still cared about her...
Yes, until now, her heart was still not dead...
She always didn’t believe that his past concern for her lacked any feelings, she didn’t believe he never had her in his heart, she always held onto that faint hope deep in her heart, hoping everything could return to how it was...
But...
Dreams, always just dreams, he and she... could never return to the past.
Tiredly leaning against the headboard, Alice struggled to keep her eyes wide open, refusing to let the tears slip out.
She hated herself so much, hated that today, she still trembled to hold onto that hope...
Even if he helped her, so what?
He once said he only helped her retrieve the Robinson family property for the sake of his father’s upbringing, it was never for her...
It was her foolishness that made her heart still disturbed by him until today.
He’s able to accept Charlotte Yule, which means that even if he loves Rebecca Quentin in his heart, he can still accept other women...
But even if he’s marrying someone just to carry on the family line, he never considered her at all...
In his heart, she deserves nothing.
So even if she misunderstood him, there’s no need for her to explain, because he simply doesn’t care...
Brother, why are you so good to me?
Your happiness is my greatest joy in life.
Brother, will you wake up? If you wake up, we’ll get married right away, and be the happiest couple in the world, alright?
Brother, I love you... Do you know?
Early in the morning, Rachel was acting cute in Alice Robinson’s embrace. "Mommy, I want to go to Uncle’s place..."
Alice Robinson helped Rachel get dressed, saying, "No, Uncle is still sleeping..."
"Uncle won’t be angry."
"But Mommy will be angry." Alice Robinson stopped moving, looking at Rachel seriously.
Rachel clung to Alice Robinson, bouncing on the bed, pleading, "Mommy, please? Mommy..."
"No way..."
"Mommy..." Rachel pleaded.
Alice Robinson finally put on a stern face, releasing her daughter, and said coldly, "Rachel, why are you so disobedient?"
Rachel was not afraid, wrapped her arms around Alice Robinson, and continued pleading, "Mommy..."
Alice Robinson pulled her daughter away, shouting angrily, "If you keep insisting, Mommy won’t talk to you!"
"Wah..."
Rachel, having never been scolded like this by Alice Robinson before, burst into tears.
Alice Robinson was never a strict mother. Seeing her daughter cry so pitifully, her heart softened. She picked her up from the bed and gently soothed, "Oh, oh... Rachel, Mommy wasn’t scolding you... It’s because you weren’t listening to Mommy..."
Rachel wrapped her arms around Alice Robinson’s neck, "Mommy..."
"Okay, okay... Mommy will take you to Uncle’s room."
Rachel immediately stopped crying.
Alice Robinson wiped the tears from Rachel’s face, dressed her, and then carried her out of the room.
In the hallway, Alice Robinson said to Rachel, who was lying on her shoulder, "Baby, knock on the door in a moment. If Uncle answers, Mommy will let you stay in Uncle’s room to play, but if someone else answers, you have to go downstairs with Mommy for breakfast, okay?"
Rachel was very confused, "Mommy, why would someone else answer the door?"
"You forgot Uncle has a girlfriend..."
"Is it Aunt Charlotte?"
Charlotte Yule was easy to get along with. The day Chester Robinson brought her for dinner, she only played with Rachel for a while, and Rachel was already calling her "Aunt Charlotte" affectionately.
"Yes."
"Oh."
When they reached Chester’s door, Alice Robinson said to Rachel, "You knock on the door yourself, okay?"
"Okay." Saying this, Rachel reached out to knock on the door. "Uncle, Uncle..."
Alice Robinson held Rachel, quietly waiting, her thoughts a little distracted.
The door opened... it was Charlotte Yule.
Alice Robinson immediately noticed the white men’s shirt Charlotte Yule was wearing.
He is very tall, so the shirt reaches down to Charlotte Yule’s knees.
Charlotte Yule’s long curly hair draped down, she looked as if she’d just woken up, very languid... The loose neckline of her white shirt exposed her beautiful collarbone, combined with her slender, fair legs, making her look sexy and alluring.
Just this scene alone could conjure up what happened in this room last night...
Seeing Alice Robinson at the door, Charlotte Yule wasn’t embarrassed, "Alice."
"Aunt Charlotte..." Rachel called out sweetly.
Alice Robinson smiled, "Sorry to disturb you and my brother’s rest... Rachel insisted on looking for my brother, and I couldn’t manage to stop her..."
"It’s okay, Chester is awake, he’s taking a shower."
"Oh."
"Come here, Rachel, let Auntie hold you..." Charlotte Yule reached out warmly.
Rachel opened her arms and snuggled into Charlotte Yule’s embrace.
Alice Robinson kept smiling, watching Rachel snuggle into Charlotte Yule’s embrace.
Charlotte Yule seemed to be someone who loved kids very much, as soon as she held Rachel, she kissed her affectionately.
Alice Robinson said, "Sister-in-law, please take care of Rachel for a moment, I’ll go downstairs to instruct the servants to prepare breakfast..."
"Sure."
Alice Robinson turned and left.
Charlotte Yule carried Rachel into the room just as Chester came out of the bathroom after his shower.
"Chester..."
Seeing Rachel, Chester paused.
"Uncle..." Rachel called sweetly.
Charlotte Yule brought Rachel over to Chester, smiling, "Your niece wanted to see you first thing in the morning..."
Chester took Rachel from Charlotte Yule’s arms, nuzzled Rachel’s soft cheek with his chin, and said gently, "Why are you up so early?"
Rachel hugged Chester’s neck, "Mommy said I had to get up."
Charlotte Yule held Rachel’s chubby little hand, "Yes, it was Alice who brought Rachel over..."
Chester frowned slightly, "She came over?"
Charlotte Yule nodded.
