Contract Marriage: Abusive Love with Mr.CEO

Chapter 1082 - 561: Extra Story: Claud Laurence Proposes Engagement to Alice Robinson

Rachel nodded, "Uncle is going to build a very tall house..."Alice Robinson added, "Using those building blocks."

"How about Uncle Laurence helps you build?"

Rachel looked up at Claud Laurence with innocent eyes, "Do you know how too?"

Claud Laurence picked Rachel up, "Uncle Laurence will try... and build you a very, very tall house, alright?"

"Okay."

"Let’s go!"

Alice Robinson never thought Claud Laurence could so easily get along with Rachel. It’s important to note, Rachel is very shy, and has always been timid around Claud Laurence before, but now she not only let him hold her but even agreed to play with him... It seems Claud Laurence’s charm is infectious with Rachel.

As Claud Laurence carried Rachel to the room to get the building blocks, Aunt PA approached Alice Robinson. "Miss..."

Alice Robinson’s gaze followed Claud Laurence, "Hmm?"

"Rachel seems to really like General Laurence..."

"Hmm."

"That’s good then. If Rachel likes General Laurence, she’ll also be able to accept him in the future..."

Alice smiled at Rachel who was waving at her with the blocks, "He’s good with kids..."

"Yes, I see General Laurence is also very fond of Rachel, but..."

"What?"

"If Mr. Robinson sees this will he..."

Alice sighed softly, "He won’t care, just as he’s never cared about Rachel."

Claud Laurence is truly a born leader among kids.

He spent a whole morning playing with Rachel, making her cling to him tightly...

"Alright, Rachel, look at how messy you are, like a little kitten. If your mommy sees you, she’s going to be upset... How about Uncle Laurence takes you to wash your hands?"

"Okay."

Alice Robinson was in the kitchen, helping Aunt PA with the dishes, feeling warmly at the sight of Rachel and Claud Laurence’s closeness.

Aunt PA said, "Miss, shall I call Mr. Robinson to see if he’s coming back for lunch?"

Alice’s smile faded as soon as Chester Robinson was mentioned, "No need, let’s get ready for lunch!"

Aunt PA nodded.

As Aunt PA turned to inform the kitchen, she suddenly froze and called out quickly, "Mr. Robinson."

Alice raised her head because of Aunt PA’s call.

She caught Chester Robinson’s eyes squarely as he entered the hall.

In that instant, Alice’s mind was flooded with memories of last night...

Chester Robinson seemed to take last night as nothing, walking over to Alice with Charlotte Yule on his arm.

Charlotte Yule kept her debutante demeanor with her parents and Chester Robinson, but otherwise, she was gentle and graceful. She smiled faintly at Alice, "Hi Alice."

Alice paused for a few seconds before responding, her voice a bit stiff, "Hi, Sister-in-law."

Chester Robinson’s gaze landed on Alice’s slightly pale face, and he said, "Do we have guests at home?"

"Uncle..."

An excited voice interrupted Alice’s reply.

Chester Robinson’s gaze shifted, seeing Claud Laurence.

Claud Laurence also noticed Chester Robinson, his eyes slightly squinting.

Aunt PA quickly took Rachel from Claud Laurence’s arms...

Alice walked calmly to Claud Laurence’s side, linking her arm with his, "Claud, my brother has just returned... Let me introduce you to my brother and my future sister-in-law."

"Sure!"

Claud Laurence smiled as he approached Chester Robinson, "Doctor Robinson, hello."

Chester Robinson wasn’t indifferent and also returned Claud Laurence’s warm smile, "Hello, I’ve been wanting my sister to bring her boyfriend over for lunch. Seeing that Charlotte is here today as well... Let’s all get to know each other. I hope General Laurence feels at home with us!"

Aunt PA watched the four dining together, feeling anxious, always sensing that the scene was somewhat discordant.

But it turned out, the atmosphere in the dining room was more relaxed than Aunt PA had imagined.

"Mommy, I want to eat this one..."

"Okay, Mommy will get it for you..."

Alice sat beside Claud Laurence, tending to Rachel next to her.

Charlotte Yule observed Alice’s attentive manner and couldn’t help but praise her, "Alice, I didn’t expect someone so young could take care of a child this well."

Alice looked up, smiling at Charlotte Yule, "Aunt PA taught me, most of the time Aunt PA takes care of Rachel."

Alice and Charlotte Yule were chatting about Rachel, while Chester Robinson and Claud Laurence conversed on the other side.

"My sister is rather slow to warm up. I really didn’t imagine just meeting once at a party, General Laurence had already won her heart, looks like I inadvertently became a matchmaker that night."
