Chapter 1070: Chapter 553: Extra: Tonight, He’s Staying at Home 1
It’s really uncomfortable, my heart is a bit heavy...
She has an impulse, yet she is trying hard to suppress it.
Between impulse and restraint, she finally broke through the restraint...
Suddenly sitting up from the bed, she picked up a tablet from the room, hugged it as she sat on the sofa, and typed in the words "Chester Robinson’s girlfriend."
Soon, an introduction of Chester Robinson’s girlfriend appeared in the computer...
Turns out you could even find his girlfriend on Google...
Charlotte Yule, twenty-eight years old, her father is the director of the Flowery Kingdom’s embassy in France, her mother is the sister of the French prime minister. She has three-quarters Flowery Kingdom blood and one-quarter French blood. Graduated from Columbia University at the age of twenty, majoring in law, she was named the most elegant debutante in France due to her good knowledge, cultivation, and temperament. She has a wide range of interests and is proficient in both piano and violin...
Staring at this introduction, Alice Robinson leaned back on the sofa in a daze.
Closing the computer, Alice’s face was pale.
He really has good taste, his girlfriend is so outstanding, no wonder there’s no sense of discord when they stand together.
Yes, a doctor and a lawyer, handsome man and beautiful woman, coupled with equally matched family backgrounds, they really are a perfect match...
The phone rang at this moment, interrupting her thoughts.
She picked up the phone, glanced at the number on the screen, leaned back on the sofa to answer the call, "Hello..."
"Are you asleep?" Claud Laurence’s voice was gentle.
"Hmm, just about to sleep."
"You don’t have to worry about the vineyard, I’ve already sent someone to handle it..."
"Thank you."
"I’ll pick you up tomorrow noon."
"Hmm?"
"I happen to have time tomorrow, come spend it with me!"
Alice was a bit in a bind, "I’m afraid not... even though you solved the vineyard issue for me, I still have to visit a few vineyards tomorrow, and also, I haven’t spent much time with my daughter, I want to take some time to be at home with her."
"Then tomorrow night."
"Huh?"
"I’ll pick you up tomorrow night." His tone carried a domineering touch of no refusal.
"But..."
"Good night, darling."
Alice was momentarily stunned, speechless for a moment.
Claud Laurence ended the call.
Alice slowly put down the phone, leaning weakly on the sofa.
The night was deep and quiet.
On the dim hotel terrace, Chester Robinson quietly drank red wine.
Keith Antony came up behind him at some point, and said, "Boss, I’ve already sent Miss Yule home."
Chester responded with a light "hmm."
Keith silently retreated behind Chester, gazing at Chester’s silhouette.
Unexpectedly, Keith felt a sense of loneliness and sadness in Chester’s silhouette.
"Boss..." Keith couldn’t help but speak.
"Hmm."
"There’s something I’m not sure if I should say..."
"Say it."
"A few days ago, journalists photographed Miss Alice and Claud Laurence vacationing in Tokyo..."
Chester raised an eyebrow, "So what?" he said, taking a sip from his wine glass.
Keith bowed, daring to speak, "Boss, won’t you really just watch Miss Alice with Claud Laurence? Excuse my boldness, but Boss, can you really bear to see Miss Alice fall in love with someone else? After spending over ten years together, your care for Miss Alice, was it really just for using her?"
Chester’s face darkened, putting down the wine glass, he said coolly, "When did you become so talkative?"
"Boss, are you really disliking Miss Alice’s personality? But all her past wilfulness and arrogance, weren’t they spoiled by you? If you hadn’t solved all her problems, would she be act on a whim whenever something didn’t go her way? If you hadn’t given her the best of everything, would she be arrogant? Her values were guided by you, her personality indulged by you, how could you dislike her personality? Your care for her has always been ingrained."
Chester’s face was cold and harsh, he put the wine glass down heavily, his thin lips chilling, "Keith Antony, have you forgotten about the last incident?"
Keith bowed even lower, "Boss, even if you fire me today, I must say... you obviously care about Miss Alice, why push her away? If you didn’t care about her, you wouldn’t rush to her side when she was alone against the Robinsons, if you didn’t care, you wouldn’t negotiate property for her even after she angered you. And Miss Alice doesn’t know how to run the family business, yet you worked in New York for over ten days just to free up a month to teach her in Paris... I’ve followed you for so many years, I understand your feelings for Miss Alice better than anyone... Boss, before it’s too late, bring Miss Alice back by your side... You’ve loved her, I know you realized it when you took a bullet for her, I don’t understand why you’re avoiding it; acting like this, you will thoroughly lose Miss Alice..."
"Enough!!"
A ghostly cold reprimand, Chester fiercely hurled the wine glass to the ground.
Keith trembled with fear, but closed his eyes, resolutely standing still, ready to accept punishment from his boss.
Chester stood up, austere and cold.
Keith tightly closed his eyes, mentally preparing for any punishment.
Chester’s sharp gaze swept over Keith like a sword...
Keith sensed he had crossed a line with the boss, and even from a meter away, he could feel that icy gaze was lethal...
However, Chester ultimately did not reprimand Keith, he simply walked away, cold and detached.
It was a long time before Keith opened his eyes, heaved a long sigh, still haunted by his fear...
The car sped through the streets with few vehicles at night...
The taillights stretched into a line of light showcasing the car’s extreme speed, with a handsome contour devoid of any expression in the rearview mirror.
Eventually, the car stopped at a place.
Beside the car was the Robinson’s ancient castle villa.
The night was deep, and the enormous villa was left with only a light on the second floor.
He leaned against the chair, his peripheral vision lingering on the second-floor window emitting a warm yellow glow.
She is already a mother now, yet she’s still afraid of the dark and needs a light left on to sleep.
With hands on the steering wheel, Chester leaned back in the chair.
Is it because there’s nowhere else to turn, so you want to find someone to rely on?
No... I’m not without support, looking for someone to lean on... but rather, I like you...
Like?
When all the shameless deeds you have done in the past lay bare in the depth of my mind, your word ’like’ is so cheap that it’s nothing more than a joke to me...
Her eyes were filled with tears.
Closing her eyes then slowly opening them, his peripheral vision rested on the warm yellow light of the window; finally, he started the engine and sped away.
Alice couldn’t sleep, tossing and turning, and at last couldn’t resist getting up from the bed.
Habitually walking to the window to open the curtains, intending to look at the night sky full of stars, she inadvertently noticed two fleeting red car lights...
These car lights did not stir Alice because, on the spacious road, cars passing by are not unusual...
Alice leaned at the window, gazing at the stars in the sky.
They twinkled, as if smiling at her.
She looked at one of them, somewhat dazed, memories flooding her mind.
I’m considering... can we develop further?
When all the shameless deeds you have done in the past lay bare in the depth of my mind, your word ’like’ is so cheap that it’s nothing more than a joke to me...
Closing her eyes painfully, Alice took a deep breath.
Closing the curtains, she came to the cradle.
Rachel was sleeping soundly, but her little hands were outside the covers...
To prevent Rachel from getting cold, Alice reached out to tuck the blanket properly.
Rachel whimpered slightly, turned over, and slept sideways like a little adult.
Alice found this scene very cute, couldn’t help but kiss her daughter’s rosy cheeks, saying in her heart to her daughter, "Rachel, it’s you who taught Mommy to be strong, and also you who supported Mommy to start a new life... Tomorrow Mommy will take you to meet an uncle, hoping you’ll like him..."
Early in the morning, Charlotte Yule arrived at the hotel where Chester was staying.
At the hotel entrance, Charlotte Yule encountered Keith Antony.
"Assistant Antony..." Charlotte Yule smiled as she greeted Keith Antony.
"Miss Yule."
"Don’t be so formal, call me Charlotte... where’s Chester?"
"The boss is inside."
"Oh... I’ll go in and find Chester."
Keith Antony nodded.
Charlotte Yule walked into the room, seeing Chester adjusting his shirt cuff.
Charlotte Yule smiled and walked over, "Chester..."
"You’re here."
"I came to invite you for breakfast..."
Chester smiled, "Miss Yule is quite enthusiastic."
"Nothing much... knowing you’re heading to New York tonight, let’s have breakfast as a farewell!" Saying that, Charlotte Yule hooked Chester’s arm.
Chester grinned, "Let’s go!"
Hotel VIP restaurant.
Charlotte Yule ordered a table full of food, feasting heartily.
Chester wasn’t eating anything, only lighting a cigarette.
Charlotte Yule said, "The breakfast here is good..."
"Mm."
"Uh, why aren’t you eating?" Charlotte Yule, with food in her mouth, looked up at Chester.
Chester shook his head, "I don’t have the habit of eating breakfast."
Charlotte Yule swallowed the food in her throat, "Apparently, Doctor Robinson, you’re just here to accompany me for breakfast?"
"There isn’t anything else to do."
Charlotte Yule put down her utensils, straight-faced, "Hey, aren’t doctors supposed to pay attention to health principles? Why don’t you even eat breakfast? Don’t you know skipping breakfast is bad for the stomach?"
Chester took a puff of the cigarette, gently exhaling, "I know."
Charlotte Yule murmured, "Alright, I admit I am naggy, but there’s a question I really want to ask you..."
"Ask."
Charlotte Yule sneakily said, "Be honest, what’s your real intention?"
