Chapter 1043: Chapter 537: Extra Story: Stay With Me 1_2
At the same time.
Chester walked into the villa from outside.
Keith followed by his side, remaining silent.
Chester finally noticed that his usually talkative subordinate was unusually quiet today, and couldn’t help but ask, "What’s wrong? You’re not usually this quiet."
Keith replied, "It’s nothing, boss. You like peace and quiet, so I talk less."
"It seems you’re not happy about what happened last time."
Keith lowered his head, "I wouldn’t dare."
On the second floor, Chester walked into his room as usual, but when he was loosening his tie and preparing to go into the bathroom to shower, his movement suddenly stopped.
He turned on the light, and the emptiness in his view made him frown slightly.
Other than a sofa and a wardrobe, there was nothing else in the room.
All of his belongings had vanished without a trace, even the bottles of wine he had treasured here were gone.
He walked to the wardrobe, opened it, and found that none of his clothes were there. The next second, his face turned ashen, and he pressed the phone in the room.
Keith and Aunt PA came.
At this moment, Aunt PA stood cautiously in front of Chester, respectfully saying, "Mr. Chester, I don’t know why you called me."
Chester sat on the only sofa in the room, his brow deeply furrowed, "What’s going on here?"
Aunt PA lowered her head and answered softly, "It’s Miss Alice who ordered us to clean up... After you returned to Flowery Kingdom last time, Miss said you wouldn’t come back anymore, so she asked us to tidy up your room..."
Chester’s already ashen face turned slightly angry, and the next moment, he stood up coldly and walked straight out of the room.
Aunt PA and Keith silently followed Chester, noticing he went to Alice’s room.
Aunt PA hurriedly opened Alice’s room door for Chester when she saw.
Chester originally planned to rest in Alice’s room tonight, only to find no trace of Alice inside.
Staring at the empty big bed, Chester’s brow furrowed, "Where is she?"
Aunt PA replied nervously, "Miss and Rachel went to stay at a hotel tonight."
"Hotel?"
"Yes, Miss said she would stay in the hotel for a few days."
Chester loosened his tie and walked into Alice’s room, asking coldly, "Who made her go to the hotel?"
Upon hearing, Aunt PA silently looked at Keith.
Keith sensibly stepped forward, lowered his head, and said softly, "Boss, it’s me who told Miss Alice that you’d be staying here for a few days... Last time you told me you didn’t want to see Miss Alice anymore, I was afraid that her presence in the villa would affect your mood, so I arranged for Miss Alice to stay at a hotel for a few days."
Aunt PA clearly saw Chester’s face turn straight from ashen to dark.
Keith remained calm and asked, "Boss, should I call to let Miss Alice come back?"
Chester knew well the cunning idea in Keith’s simple head. He waved his hand and said, "Forget it, if she likes staying at the hotel, let her stay. I get some peace and quiet."
Keith said, "Then I’ll leave."
Aunt PA also silently retreated with Keith.
When only Chester was left in the room, he sat on the sofa, lit a cigarette, and sank into thought.
Chester, while you were unconscious, it was Alice who was always by your side, taking care of you, she’s really gone through a lot...
Can’t you give you and Alice a chance to get to know each other again?
Are you really willing to let Alice live alone with Rachel?
Rebecca Quentin’s words echoed in his mind over and over.
He suddenly extinguished the cigarette and walked towards the room’s floor-to-ceiling window.
In the silent night, his figure appeared particularly tall and lonely.
Why does she insist he give him and another woman a chance?
Why is she unwilling to consider him?
He asked himself, in no way was he inferior to Howard Geoffrey, yet why was her choice Howard Geoffrey?
The happiest moment of his life was when he achieved honors in medicine...
Did she know how fulfilled he felt sharing that moment with her...
Holding her and dancing under the crystal chandelier, how he wished that moment would be forever between them...
Becca...
Does he really have no chance to possess her again in this life?
He could defy everything again to contend with Howard Geoffrey, as long as she’s willing to follow him...
But why, when facing Howard Geoffrey, does she always show a slow, happy smile?
Is it really only Howard Geoffrey who can bring her happiness?
"Brother, help me, brother..."
Alice woke up from a nightmare of being hunted by Robinson, abruptly sitting up from the bed.
Seeing the hotel’s surroundings... she slowly came to her senses.
Turned on the bedside lamp and saw Rachel sleeping sweetly next to her, she couldn’t help but wipe away the cold sweat that had flowed due to the nightmare, quietly leaning against the headboard.
Alice, my greatest happiness in this life is seeing you happy.
His words were still ringing in her ears.
Unable to control it, every little moment she once shared with him played like a slideshow in her mind...
His warmth towards her, all along was with ulterior motives.
He never truly opened his heart to her, nor did he have any genuine feelings for her. In the past, she was just a pawn in his eyes, also a stand-in for him to vent inner emotions.
She always knew, yet she still let her heart blind her from reality.
Let’s end everything here...
In the future, she will never let herself be so silly again, nor will she let herself dream such dreams again.
When I wake up by your side with tears in my eyes, it is the moment I completely exclude you from my life.
On the fourth day of staying at the hotel, Aunt PA finally called to inform Alice that she could come home because he had already left.
Alice didn’t like staying in the hotel in the first place. As soon as she heard he had left, she immediately checked out of the hotel and went home at once.
At that moment, Alice comfortably leaned on the sofa in the villa’s hall, closed her eyes, and said with satisfaction, "Home is still the best, I never get used to staying in hotels."
