Chapter 1084 - 562: Extra: Your Sorrow, I Cannot Choose to Cherish
He held her tightly, making her somewhat uncomfortable...She instinctively wanted to break away from him, but his words, like a warm current, filled every cell in her body that wanted to struggle.
Gradually, she leaned into Claud Laurence’s embrace, softly whispering, "Engagement, is it really a decision you’ve thoroughly considered?"
"Yes."
"But I..."
Claud Laurence kissed Alice, swallowing the words from her mouth.
She wanted to escape but was held by him, deeply kissed.
She couldn’t breathe, feeling as if her entire body was under his control...
He tried to explore her mouth, but her body was stiff, her teeth clenched tightly...
He held her tight, trying several times, but still couldn’t pry open her teeth.
Eventually, he slowly released her.
Her stiff body gradually relaxed after he let go, but she didn’t dare look up at him.
He gently held her shoulders, "What’s wrong?"
She looked up at his gentle face, apologetically saying, "Sorry... I’m not ready yet."
He chuckled softly, "Silly, it’s my fault tonight..."
He had promised her that he would never force her at any moment.
"It’s not your fault, it’s me... I..."
"Alright, I have something to do, I won’t be with you this afternoon... call me if you need anything."
"Okay."
Claud Laurence dropped a kiss on Alice’s forehead, then turned to leave.
Alice stood there, lost in thought for a long time.
As soon as they got in the car, Charlotte Yule couldn’t help but speak, "Chester, can you explain the reason now?"
Chester Robinson was flipping through a document at hand, and said lightly, "There is no reason."
"If there’s no reason, why did you invite me to your house for dinner? If before when we pretended to be a couple in public it was to provoke your beloved, why do you still want me to pretend to be your girlfriend in your house, in front of your sister?"
Chester’s tone was utterly calm, devoid of any fluctuations, "Didn’t you say you’d help as a friend without asking why?"
"At least let me know who I’m putting on an act for, right?"
"Don’t you already know?"
"Know what? When you called, I thought we were going to meet your beloved, and I eagerly came along, wanting to see who your beloved was, but ended up just having dinner with your sister and her future husband. I... wait, why is it always your sister?"
Charlotte Yule suddenly seemed to realize something, suspiciously looking at Chester Robinson, "The first time you invited me to attend that charity banquet, your sister was there. Then you took me to Howard Geoffrey’s wedding, your sister was also there, and now today... Oh my..."
Charlotte Yule suddenly covered her mouth, looking at Chester Robinson in disbelief, "Damn it, you don’t like your sister, do you?"
Chester didn’t answer.
Charlotte Yule looked at Chester’s face, immediately refuting herself, "No, that’s impossible, you’re siblings..."
"Interested in going to Flowery Kingdom?"
Chester suddenly interrupted Alice’s train of thought.
"Huh?"
Chester said calmly, "There’s a city in Flowery Kingdom called T City, it’s the government, economic, and cultural center of Flowery Kingdom... you’re a person from Flowery Kingdom, but you grew up in France. You once told me that you wanted to visit Flowery Kingdom, how about accompanying me to T City?"
"Sure, sure, the office has been quite idle lately..."
"Then it’s settled..."
"Hmm... I’ll report to my parents, pack some simple luggage and be ready."
Chester responded with an "Hmm".
Charlotte Yule said to Keith Antony, "Assistant Antony, please drive quickly, I want to go home and pack things..."
Keith Antony said embarrassedly, "Miss Yule, I’m afraid you won’t have time to go home and pack your luggage."
"Why?"
"Because we’re already on our way to the airport."
"Huh?"
In the afternoon, as Alice just sat on the leisurely rattan chair by the floor-to-ceiling window, she received a text message.
The message was from Keith Antony――
Miss Alice, the boss is returning to T City for two surgeries, he’ll be back in a couple of days.
It was as if last night’s events had never happened.
The tears she shed a whole night in front of him seemed like she was performing a sad monologue alone, and he was just an audience.
Leaving would be good, giving her time to sit in this quiet corner and sneer at herself.
Is there anyone in the world more foolish than her?
Despite being loathed to the extreme, she still helplessly shed those cheap tears before him, which could not even elicit a bit of his sympathy.
