Chapter 1069: Chapter 552: Extra Story: Alice Robinson—The Woman He Spoiled (Part 2)
Chester lightly nodded and didn’t speak to her.
"I have to go, I have something to do." Alice said urgently.
"Miss Robinson, wait... Do you have a car? Why not have Chester take you?" The gentle woman saw Alice was very anxious and said kindly.
Chester...
They were already so close, even using nicknames.
"Uh, no need, it’s easy to catch a taxi here..."
The gentle woman wanted to say something else, but Alice’s phone rang at that moment.
Thinking it was Uncle Grant, Alice hurriedly answered, "Hello..."
"It’s me."
Claud Laurence’s voice always had a comforting warmth.
Alice’s disordered heart calmed down at this, "Mm."
"I’m back, let’s meet up!"
"Weren’t you supposed to come back tonight?" Alice asked in surprise.
Claud chuckled, "Can’t I come back sooner to be with you?"
Alice blushed slightly.
"I’ll come pick you up."
"I can’t... I’m still at the wedding site, and Uncle Grant just called to say there’s a problem at the winery, I need to check it out."
"I’ll take you to the winery."
"There’s no time, I have to go right away..."
"What if I’m right within your sight right now?"
Claud’s words made Alice pause, she lifted her gaze and quickly searched around.
The silver-gray Bentley was parked by the roadside outside the wedding venue.
Robin had already gotten out of the car and opened the door for her.
Alice ended the call, glanced at the handsome profile inside the silver-gray Bentley, turned to everyone, and said, "Sorry, I have an urgent matter, I must leave... Mr. Jones, Christine, I wish you a hundred years of harmony, everlasting unity."
Christine Quinn snuggled up beside Skyler Jones, "Thank you."
"Miss Robinson, are you sure you don’t need your brother to send someone to take you home?"
"No need..."
"But it’s rush hour in the afternoon, not easy to get a taxi..."
"It’s fine, my... my boyfriend is picking me up."
When Alice mentioned the word "boyfriend," everyone present was surprised and astonished.
Alice apologized to Skyler and Christine, then left.
Everyone noticed that Alice walked toward the silver-gray Bentley parked by the roadside.
Chester squinted his eyes slightly.
Claud Laurence got out of the car and naturally put his arm around her waist, lowering his head to kiss her lips.
Alice’s body stiffened slightly, also noticing the gaze surrounding her, she gently struggled free from him...
Claud Laurence said, "Let’s go."
Alice’s face turned a bit red, "Mm."
Claud embraced Alice and got in the car.
Witnessing the scene, Rebecca Quentin was surprised and opened her mouth wide.
In everyone’s gaze, the silver-gray Bentley slowly drove away.
Within the surrounding crowd, discussions started to buzz, "Hey, isn’t that the eldest daughter of the Robinson family, Alice? Is that her boyfriend?"
"You mean the rich girl rumored to be toyed with and abandoned, and who had a daughter?"
"Yes..."
"But who is that man, he’s so handsome..."
The guests’ discussions rose and fell...
No one noticed, Chester’s dark eyes were deeper than usual.
Alice rested her head against the car window, silent.
Claud Laurence embraced Alice’s shoulder from behind, "What’s wrong?"
Alice shook her head, "Nothing."
"Did you enjoy yourself today?"
"Mm, seeing them happy makes me happy too."
Claud tightened his arm, pulling Alice closer to his shoulder, "Have you thought about having a day like that yourself?"
"Ah?"
Claud gazed deeply at her, "Getting married."
She looked at him, his eyes glimmering with light.
Her body gradually stiffened, squeezing out a sentence after a long pause, "Uh, I haven’t thought about it."
Claud was good at reading people, he chuckled, "I was just casually asking, look at you getting scared."
"I... I wasn’t."
Claud kissed Alice’s forehead, "Standing all day, tired?"
"Mm."
"Do you want to go home and rest?"
"I can’t... Uncle Grant said the northern winery has a raw material problem, I have to go see for myself."
Claud patted Alice’s head, "Leave the winery problem to me... I’ll take you home now, rest peacefully, you have dark circles."
"I can’t bother you, you just got off a plane, you must be tired too..."
"I’m not tired, seeing you, how could I feel tired."
His words, like they were filled with honey, made one’s heart feel sweet.
"Well, now that you’re a shareholder in the winery, you should also help solve its problems." Alice said playfully.
Claud laughed, "Alright... little lazy bones."
Alice smiled.
He pulled her into his arms. "I’m hungry, will you accompany me to eat first?"
"But the winery issue..."
"I’ll have someone handle it first."
"Alright!"
At eight o’clock in the evening, Alice stood next to the car, waving goodbye to Claud.
The silver-gray Bentley drove into the darkness of the night in Alice’s sight...
Until the car was out of sight, Alice then turned and went back to the villa.
Aunt PA greeted her as soon as she returned, "Miss, you’re back..."
Alice nodded, "Where’s Rachel?"
Aunt PA replied, "Rachel is already asleep."
"Mm."
"Miss, I’ll heat up some soup for you..."
"No need, Aunt PA, I’m not hungry... I just want to rest."
"Okay."
Back in her room, after checking on Rachel, Alice finally took off her twelve-inch high heels she wore all day, threw her bag aside, and lay on the bed.
An inexplicable feeling of fatigue, wanting only to close her eyes and sleep well...
Chester...
This intimate nickname made Alice suddenly open her eyes.
Staring blankly at the ceiling, her gaze dull, her mind flashing with the woman calling him "Chester" cuddling up beside him like a delicate bird.
