Contract Marriage: Abusive Love with Mr.CEO

Chapter 1078 - 558: Extra Story: Those Years, Loving You So Madly 1

"Hello...""What’s up? Your voice sounds a bit strange."

"Nothing... maybe it’s a cold." She deliberately sniffed, pretending to really have a cold.

"Are you feeling unwell?"

"It’s nothing, I’ve already taken some cold medicine."

"Okay, take care of yourself, and if it gets worse, remember to see a doctor."

Claud Laurence’s voice was like a warm breeze, soothing her cold heart. "I know."

"Do you have time tonight?"

No, she didn’t want to go out tonight.

But...

The indifferent and ruthless face of Chester Robinson flashed in her mind.

Alice Robinson changed her mind, "Yes."

"Alright, I’ll pick you up at six."

"Okay, see you tonight."

"I miss you."

Before ending the call, Claud Laurence didn’t forget to tell her.

Alice Robinson blushed, "Don’t be so cheesy... let’s talk later tonight."

"Mm."

Ending the call, perhaps because she was distracted, Alice Robinson felt much better compared to just now.

She took a deep breath and looked into the distance, unaware of the tall figure standing right behind her.

He had been sitting silently in the study for a long time and had eventually followed her here.

He arrived as she was taking Claud Laurence’s call.

He saw the gentle expression on her face as she talked to Claud Laurence, and he saw the flirtatious banter between them.

The shy demeanor she once showed was now for another person.

Alice Robinson sensed two eyes watching her from behind, but when she turned around, there was no one in sight.

The air faintly carried his scent...

Alice Robinson shook her head vigorously, chastising herself internally.

She was truly daydreaming; how could he possibly come looking for her?

In his heart, she never really mattered...

The beauty of the past, once the harsh reality was revealed, made her realize just how foolish and naive she had been.

She would never be so silly again... would never long for those things she never truly had.

Looking up at the sky, Alice Robinson spoke to her father in heaven...

Dad, no matter how hard the road ahead is, I will persevere with strength... rest assured, your daughter will definitely find happiness.

Upon returning to her room, she saw Aunt PA helping Rachel get dressed.

The little princess had just woken up and was in a very good mood.

"Mommy..."

As soon as she saw Alice Robinson, she reached out for a hug.

Alice Robinson picked up the freshly dressed Rachel from the bed and kissed her tender face lovingly, "My little darling is awake..."

"Mm."

Rachel glanced around and asked, "Mommy... where’s Uncle?"

"Why do you look for him as soon as you wake up?"

"Because Uncle tells really good stories."

"He tells stories?"

"Yes... Uncle didn’t even use a book and told me a story about a little pig who doesn’t like taking baths."

Alice Robinson felt a bit jealous and snorted slightly, "Can he tell stories?"

"Of course, Uncle’s stories are much better than the ones you tell, Mommy."

"Yeah, yeah... little rascal, just because someone buys you some toys, spends a bit of time playing with you, and tells you a bedtime story, you think they’re better than Mommy, huh?"

"Mommy, he’s Uncle, why do you say he’s someone else?"

In Rachel’s innocent mind, Uncle was a family name, very close.

"Uh..."

"Mommy, do you not like Uncle?"

Even kids could see it.

Alice Robinson didn’t know how to answer. Fortunately, Aunt PA came to the rescue in time, "Rachel, you can’t use the word ’like’ for your mommy and uncle, because they are siblings, so it’s just familial love."

"Does that mean Mommy loves Uncle, and Uncle loves Mommy too?"

Aunt PA was stumped by Rachel’s mischievous question.

"Why do little kids have so many questions..."

"Is it true, Mommy..."

"Look at you, playing like a little flower cat this afternoon... Mommy will take you to wash your face."

Alice Robinson successfully changed the subject.

The sky gradually darkened.

In the spacious room, Chester Robinson leaned back on the dark leather sofa, holding a freshly poured glass of red wine in his hand.

Bro... you’re so naughty, not wanting to open your eyes again today...

Bro... I went for a prenatal checkup today, the doctor said I have two babies in my belly...

Bro... the doctor said my uterus is transverse, he advised me to give up one baby to protect the other...

Bro... I feel so miserable today because I made a choice...

Bro... can you wake up soon, I’m really scared on my own...

Bro... look at our daughter... isn’t she adorable? I’m planning to name her Rachel, because in French, Rachel refers to healthy and lively girls. I hope she can grow up healthy... when you wake up, you can give her a name. I’ve thought of many names... do you think Joelle sounds good? I think girls should be elegant and graceful...

His thoughts were interrupted by a knock on the door.

Aunt PA’s voice came through, "Mr. Robinson, dinner is ready."

"Mm."

Responding softly, Chester Robinson put down the wine glass and stood up.

The restaurant had already laid out a delicious Western dinner.

Chester sat at the dining table, but his brows furrowed slightly as he glanced around at the empty surroundings and asked, "Where’s Alice Robinson?"

Aunt PA, who had been intimidated by Chester Robinson’s authority since learning his true identity, respectfully answered with her head down, "Miss took Rachel out to eat."

"Out?"

"Yes, General Laurence personally came to pick her up."

Chester leaned back in the chair, his face dark and unapproachable.

Aunt PA shuddered slightly, deeply afraid that Chester would get angry.

However...

After settling his emotions, Chester merely waved his hand at the few servants in the restaurant, including Aunt PA, "All of you, leave!"

Aunt PA quickly left the dining room as if escaping.

After all the servants left, the vast dining room was left with only Chester Robinson.

The dinner tasted quite good, but Chester only ate a few bites before picking up a napkin to wipe his mouth and then got up to leave the restaurant.

His departing figure inexplicably lonely.

He went to the study, sat at the desk, and rested his head against the back of the chair.

The sudden vibration of the phone sounded especially loud in the quiet study.

Chester straightened his body and picked up the phone.

After glancing at the number on the phone, he calmly pressed the answer button, "Mr. Robinson..."

"Mm."

"I’m very sorry for disturbing you so late, but I’m really worried... You haven’t come this month, roughly when will you come over?"

"It may be a bit later."

"Okay, Mr. Robinson, I will be waiting for you at the hospital."

After finishing the conversation, Chester casually tossed the phone aside.

This was the first time Alice Robinson brought Rachel to meet Claud Laurence.

At this moment, Rachel was sitting on Alice’s lap, looking a bit shyly at Claud Laurence opposite and said, "Uncle, my name is Rachel."

Claud Laurence, imitating a child’s innocent self-introduction, said, "Uncle is called Claud Laurence, you can call me Uncle Laurence from now on."

"Uncle Laurence."

"Good girl."

"You’re so cute."

"Thank you, Uncle."

Bringing Rachel to meet Claud Laurence, Alice felt somewhat awkward, but she wasn’t assured leaving Rachel at home.

"Mommy, I want that..."

"Mm, mommy will get it for you..."

"Thank you, mommy."

Alice helped Rachel with a napkin, then brought over the dessert Rachel wanted to eat...

As Rachel was eating the cake, Alice awkwardly said to Claud Laurence, "Sorry, I came tonight with my daughter and didn’t tell you."

Claud Laurence had been watching Rachel, his gaze very gentle, "She really looks like you."

Alice lowered her head to kiss the cake-eating Rachel, smiling, "Everyone says that."

"If I had known you were bringing this little one, I would have prepared some gifts."

"That’s not necessary..."

Claud Laurence looked at Alice.

Alice quickly added, "I mean we shouldn’t make it so formal."

"Do you think I’m giving a gift to Rachel because of etiquette?"

Alice blinked at Claud Laurence.

Claud Laurence smiled, reached out to rub Rachel’s little head, "I was thinking about how to win her over... I don’t know how to please children."

"You can’t spoil her... At home, both Aunt PA and I spoil her a lot, she’s almost spoiled rotten."

"Girls are meant to be spoiled."

"That won’t do, if she grows up to be as capricious as I am, it would be terrible..."

Claud Laurence laughed heartily.

At nine in the evening.

A silver-gray Bentley stopped in front of the Robinson’s castle villa.

Claud Laurence got out of the car first, helping the sleeping Rachel out of Alice’s arms.

Alice followed suit, taking Rachel from him, "Thank you."

Claud Laurence supported Alice’s back, "Do you need me to help carry her back home?"

Alice immediately shook her head, "No... that’s not necessary."

Claud Laurence smiled, "What, afraid of me going to your place?"

"No, it’s not that, I..."

"Miss."

Aunt PA’s sudden appearance aided Alice.

Alice handed Rachel to Aunt PA, smiling and said to Claud Laurence, "I just don’t want to trouble you."

Claud Laurence stepped forward, not caring about Aunt PA’s shocked gaze, wrapped his arms around Alice’s waist, and placed a kiss on her forehead, "I have patience, waiting for you to invite me to your place."

"It’s too late today, I..."

Alice’s explanation was swallowed up by Claud Laurence’s lips.

Alice stared wide-eyed in surprise, looking at his handsome features so close...

Claud Laurence did not go deeper, only brushing his thin lips softly over hers.

Alice froze for a few seconds, until he released her.

His blazing gaze was exceptionally bright in the dark, she felt her cheeks heat up from his gaze.

Seeing her shy look, Claud Laurence smiled, kissed her forehead again, "Goodnight, sweetheart."
