Chapter 1071: Chapter 554: Extra Story: He’s Staying Over Tonight 2
Chester squinted his eyes, "What do you mean?"
Charlotte laughed, "At the last charity banquet, you invited me to dance and later drove me home... This time in Paris, you not only asked me out for dinner and golf, but also invited me to attend your friend’s wedding, making it seem like we’re a couple... You should know that I saw several reporters hiding and secretly photographing us the other day, and after you took me to your friend’s wedding, reports about us being a couple have been in several magazines..."
"Don’t you think I seem like I’m pursuing you?"
Charlotte scoffed, "Doctor Robinson, we’ve known each other for ten years, if there was any spark, it would have happened when we were still in school, why wait until today? Besides, Doctor Robinson, you’ve always had someone in your heart, and you know I’m never marrying anyone but that person, how could you possibly be pursuing me?"
"My smart junior really lives up to studying law, as observant as ever."
"Thank you, senior, but you need to confess... Tell me, why are you making it seem like we’re a couple? Don’t think I didn’t notice that day when we saw the reporters, you deliberately acted intimate during dinner... You intentionally wanted people to know about our couple status, right?"
Chester flicked the ash from his cigarette and laughed, "Don’t overthink it, little girl."
Charlotte pouted, "Hey, enough with calling me little girl, I’m already a graceful, elegant, mature, and sophisticated woman."
"Yes yes yes... Miss Yule."
Charlotte finally smiled contentedly, "Come on, tell me... Why make people misunderstand us?"
"You’re overthinking it..."
Chester stubbed out the cigarette and picked up his cutlery to start eating.
Charlotte suspiciously looked at Chester, clucking, "Doctor Robinson... you’re avoiding the topic."
"Talkative."
Charlotte leaned her chin on her hand, "No, Doctor Robinson, I see something strange about you today."
Chester smiled gently, "What seems strange?"
Charlotte imitated his squinting look while appraising people and looked at him sideways, "I see a hint of melancholy behind your smile today... Though you were gloomy and not much of a talker before, when you were in a good mood, you’d joke with me a little, but look at you today, after just a few words you say I’m talkative and annoying... This indicates you’re troubled."
Chester put food in his mouth and said nothing.
Charlotte chuckled, "I guessed right, you indeed have something on your mind."
Chester remained silent, chewing the food in his mouth tastelessly.
Charlotte said, "You definitely brought me here to play the role of a girlfriend, otherwise, with your cold-blooded nature, you wouldn’t proactively contact me... I guess your lover got married and the groom wasn’t you, deeply affecting you, so you brought me to act as a couple, the purpose being to provoke your former lover. Wasn’t my acting good that day... If I guessed correctly, at Skyler Jones’s wedding, you surely saw your former lover, let me guess..."
"Uh, at the wedding that day, besides the bride, you only interacted with two other women, one being Howard Geoffrey’s wife Rebecca Quentin, and the other your sister..."
"Though you never told me who the person in your heart was, the woman Doctor Robinson favors would be top-notch... I think that person is Howard Geoffrey’s wife Rebecca Quentin, the one you actively greeted."
Chester always remained composed, so when speaking, his expression barely fluctuated as he flatly said, "Stop speaking nonsense."
Charlotte scrutinized Chester’s expression closely, "No, Rebecca Quentin shouldn’t be the one, because I didn’t see anything unusual in your eyes when I mentioned her, but when I brought up your sister, I noticed your eyes darkened..."
Mentioning Alice Robinson again, Chester’s gaze deepened a bit.
"See, when I mentioned your sister, your eyes indeed looked different..."
"Don’t talk nonsense."
"Of course, I’m talking nonsense, how could your person of interest be your own sister... But I find your sister quite adorable. When I saw you chatting happily with me at the banquet before, she ran off angrily... If I didn’t know you were siblings, I’d think she was jealous..." Charlotte said, with no filter, completely unlike her usual graceful demeanor.
