Chapter 1097 - 570: Extra: You Came Rushing Over After I Got Hurt, Leaving Claud Laurence Behind? (Part 1)
Rachel also followed along, "Mommy wouldn’t let me go find Uncle, said it would disturb Uncle and Aunt Charlotte’s rest..."Charlotte Yule leaned over and gave Rachel a kiss on the cheek, "It doesn’t disturb at all, Aunt Charlotte really likes Rachel... Rachel is so cute!"
Chester Robinson’s face grew a bit solemn.
Alice Robinson sat alone in the dining room, quietly waiting.
Around her came the sound of Rachel’s laughter... it was Charlotte Yule and Chester Robinson comforting Rachel.
Rachel really liked them, giggling constantly from their attention.
If it weren’t for the Robinsons, people outside might think they were a family of three.
Fortunately, her daughter still loves her the most...
As soon as she saw her, she excitedly called out, "Mommy!!"
She got up from the dining table, walked over to Chester Robinson, and without meeting his gaze, gently smiled as she took Rachel from Chester’s arms.
"Alice, I really envy you having such an adorable daughter... If I could have such a cute daughter in the future, that would be wonderful."
As soon as she sat down, Charlotte Yule couldn’t help but express her envy.
Alice Robinson held Rachel on her lap and said, "You’ll have one... as long as you and my brother put in the effort."
"Hey, don’t misunderstand, I..."
Charlotte Yule’s instinctive words were interrupted by Chester Robinson’s sudden voice, "Let’s eat... The oatmeal egg pancake made by our house is quite good." With that, Chester placed a piece of the cut oatmeal pancake onto Charlotte Yule’s plate.
Alice Robinson’s gaze inevitably caught this scene.
"After eating, I’ll take you back... Didn’t you say you have to go to the office today?"
Charlotte Yule’s topic was diverted, "Mmm... I have a case to handle today."
"Then eat more... don’t lose strength in court and lose the case."
Charlotte Yule playfully replied, "I won’t... since starting my career, I haven’t lost many cases!"
To Alice Robinson, Charlotte Yule and Chester Robinson were flirting at that moment.
Alice Robinson silently ate her breakfast, not joining their conversation.
"Oh, I almost forgot... Alice..."
"Ah?"
Alice Robinson looked up from her distraction.
Charlotte Yule apologized, "I almost forgot to congratulate you... General Laurence announced the engagement yesterday with the pair of rings, really making all the women present envious. Congratulations."
Alice Robinson paused for a second before responding with a sweet smile, "Thank you."
"Three million dollars for the rings, and they’re just engagement rings... so sincere." Charlotte Yule expressed her envy.
Alice Robinson glanced at the engagement ring on her right ring finger, finally remembering Claud Laurence.
Rachel suddenly spoke up, "Mommy, are you going to marry Uncle Laurence?"
Alice Robinson didn’t know how to answer, just let out a "Hmm."
Rachel happily clapped her hands, "Uncle Laurence is so nice..."
While Charlotte Yule was congratulating Alice Robinson, no one noticed Chester Robinson’s face was constantly dark.
After finishing breakfast, the Robinsons suddenly fell silent...
Chester Robinson took Charlotte Yule to the law firm, Rachel went to play in the garden with Aunt PA, while Alice Robinson sat alone on the sofa in the living room.
Alice Robinson was now immersed in her thoughts...
She originally wanted to find an opportunity to say "sorry" about the misunderstanding, but now it seemed he wasn’t in a bad mood.
He didn’t care if she misunderstood him at all.
People only don’t care about someone’s opinion when they truly don’t care about that person at all.
It seems nothing between them is necessary anymore.
The ringing of her phone interrupted Alice Robinson’s thoughts.
Picking up the phone, she stared dazedly at the number displayed on the screen, then pressed the answer key, her voice hoarse, "Hello..."
"Alice... There’s something urgent, I have to go to New York."
Was it because he was angry last night?
"How many days will you be gone?"
"Shouldn’t be too long, but about ten days or so."
Ten days or so?
Hadn’t heard before that he’d be traveling for so long.
Seems he really is angry.
"Claud, about yesterday, I..."
"I understand, it’s my fault, I promised you that I wouldn’t pressure you in that way anymore..."
"But..."
"Alright, don’t think too much... Wait for me to come back."
"Okay."
"Remember to miss me, darling."
"Okay."
Claud Laurence ended the call.
Alice Robinson put down the phone dazedly, leaning wearily against the sofa...
She shouldn’t be like this...
She’s already with Claud Laurence, she shouldn’t be thinking about anyone else, it’s unfair to Claud Laurence.
The person she’s thinking of has completely left her world, their relationship had already reached its conclusion.
