Contract Marriage: Abusive Love with Mr.CEO

Chapter 1088 - 564: Extra Story: A Kind of Care That Remains Hidden in the Heart 1

Claud Laurence was bending down to kiss her...Her body was slightly stiff, not reaching out to respond to him, but the tiptoes she was on proved she wasn’t rejecting him...

The car lights only cast a faint glow...

The passionate man and woman did not notice those dark eyes in the shadows.

Keith Antony was somewhat incredulous as he watched this scene before him, but felt that after experiencing so much, this moment wasn’t entirely unexpected. He then secretly glanced at Chester Robinson’s expression through the rearview mirror.

Chester’s deep brown eyes dimmed slightly.

Claud Laurence had already turned to get in the car...

Alice Robinson stood by the roadside, smiling and content as she watched him leave.

The car quietly parked under the shade, and Keith Antony wasn’t sure whether to drive over, his heart beating like a drum.

After Claud Laurence left, Alice finally turned to walk into the villa.

Keith Antony hesitantly said, "Boss..."

"Let’s go!"

"Yes."

The two bright headlights behind her stopped Alice in her tracks.

Thinking it was Claud Laurence, she smiled and turned her head, only to find it was that familiar white Maybach in her view.

At the moment Alice saw Chester sitting in the back seat, her heart skipped a beat, her body froze in place.

She could only see his profile, expressionless yet inexplicably stern.

Alice’s face went slightly pale.

He’s back...

She thought what Keith Antony said about two days might turn out to be a week or even longer, but it really was only three or four days...

Did he just get back?

What about her and Claud Laurence just now...

Alice couldn’t help but tighten her grip on her bag, her body slightly stiff.

After a long while, she finally came to her senses, her pale face returning to its normal color.

Why was she still afraid? They were no longer connected in any way...

Mocking herself inwardly, Alice lowered her head and walked into the villa.

Alice didn’t expect him to arrive home earlier than her...

When she entered the villa hall, Chester was already there.

He stood with his back to her, exuding a cold arrogance.

Alice paused in the doorway, calmly watching him.

Keith Antony, as usual, approached warmly, "Miss Alice..."

Alice nodded slightly, "Just got off the plane?"

"Hmm."

"I’ll ask Aunt PA to prepare something for you to eat," Alice said.

Keith Antony shook his head and glanced toward Chester, signaling Alice, and said, "Miss Alice, I’m not hungry, I’ll head out first..."

Alice didn’t understand Keith’s intention, she dumbly nodded.

In the spacious and quiet hall, only the two of them remained.

From Chester’s back, there was a chilling aura.

In the past, no matter how intense their previous arguments, she would proactively apologize and take the initiative to speak to him...

But this time, for some reason, seeing him, her heart felt nothing, a tranquillity that even she found a bit incredible.

She didn’t know if he was waiting for her to speak, but she didn’t wish to.

Her throat felt sour and dry, and she didn’t want to say a word to him.

Turning her head, Alice walked toward the villa’s elevator, deliberately avoiding the spiral staircase at home just to avoid being on the same path as him.

On her way to the elevator, she couldn’t help but listen to the movements from behind...

No movement was what she expected, but the lack of any sound made her turn to look at him upon entering the elevator.

At that moment, a sharp pang passed through her heart.

His strong and handsome figure was already on the spiral staircase, he didn’t even turn his head, directly going up to the second floor.

Alice stared blankly until his figure disappeared, then she seemed to come to herself, turning to enter the elevator.

The elevator "dinged" as it closed, Alice’s eyes dazedly watching the ascending floor numbers.

Young Master Robinson, owner of Century Vineyard, and Yule’s heiress shared T City sightseeing... Good news coming soon, more corroboration.

Alice sneered inwardly, a trip to T City to perform surgery for a patient?

His medical skills were indeed impressive, performing two surgeries in four days yet still having time to accompany a companion for shopping...

Life plays such tricks, when you strive to avoid someone, you encounter them everywhere.

She was stepping out of the elevator while he emerged from the stairs...

Face to face, eyes locked directly.

Her steps halted, his dark and deep gaze fell upon her.

Neither took the initiative to speak, but both stopped because of the other.

Almost simultaneously, both their phones rang...

She was the first to lower her head and take out her phone, it was a call from Claud Laurence.

Usually, after he returned home, he would proactively call her.

Alice pulled out her phone and pressed the answer button, "Hello..."

He had also answered the phone, "Charlotte..."

Upon hearing his intimate call of Charlotte Yule, Alice hesitated for a moment with the phone, then stepped forward, speaking with Claud Laurence.

They went in opposite directions, passing by each other.

Alice responded to Claud Laurence, but she actually didn’t realize what he was saying to her; her mind was blank at the moment they passed by each other.

Their distance grew wider and wider, to the point where they could hardly hear each other’s voices.

Alice twisted open the door while talking to Claud Laurence, and out of the corner of her eye, she noticed Chester heading to the study.

From dozens of meters away, Alice seemed to still hear Chester’s soft murmurs to Charlotte Yule...

Entering the room, Alice forcefully shut the door, her phone slipping uncontrollably from her fingertips and falling to the ground.

"Alice..."

Alice hurriedly picked up the phone from the floor and placed it to her ear, "Sorry, I accidentally dropped the phone..."

"Did you hear what I just said to you?"

"Huh? What?"

"You little scatterbrain, I just told you... I said there’s a banquet in a couple of days, and I want you to accompany me so I can formally introduce you as my girlfriend to the world."

At night, it was so quiet that only the sound of insects outside the window could be heard.

Chester sat on the couch in the study, with an amber glass of whiskey by his side.

There was no expression on his face, but his repeated action of picking up the glass and pouring the drink down his throat revealed his current state of mind.

In the quiet night like this, he drank alone, as lonely as if he were the only one left in the world.

The next day.

"Uncle, uncle..."

Early in the morning, he heard Rachel’s voice in his ear...

He opened his eyes groggily, seeing Rachel trying to climb onto the bed.

After drinking all night, he had never felt such pain before, yet today his head hurt so much it felt like it might split open...

Indeed, Dr. Turner’s advice must be heeded.

Holding his aching head, he sat up, using sheer willpower to appear unchanged, and pulled Rachel up from the bedside onto the bed...

"Sweetheart, why are you here?"

Rachel’s chubby, adorable little hands clung to Chester’s neck, saying, "Mommy brought me up... but mommy had to go busy herself with something."

"She left to work this early?"

"Yes."

Chester picked Rachel up and got out of bed. "Uncle will wash his face and brush his teeth, you wait here for a moment."

"Okay."

Chester placed Rachel at the edge of the bed, affectionately ruffled her little head.

Rachel obediently sat at the edge of the bed, patiently waiting for Chester.

When Chester came out again, he was refreshed...

He picked Rachel up from the bed’s edge, kissed her and said, "Uncle will take you to find your mommy."

Rachel shook her head, "No, Uncle... Mommy said I shouldn’t disturb her when she’s working, or she’ll get mad."

"Are you hungry then? Uncle will take you downstairs for breakfast."

"Hungry."

"Let’s go..."

In the dining room, Rachel was learning to use utensils to eat.

Chester sat beside Rachel, smiling as he watched her eat clumsily.

Every time Rachel’s mouth got messy, Chester would wipe her with a napkin.

"Uncle..."

"Hmm?"

Rachel, with her mouth full of food and cheeks bulging, spoke unclearly, "Can you be home every day?"

"Rachel wants Uncle to be home?"

"Yes... Mommy is so busy, she doesn’t have time to be with Rachel, and Rachel doesn’t want to be home alone."

Chester gently patted Rachel’s little head, "Your mommy will be busy for a while, but once the vineyard matters are settled, she’ll have more time for you."

"But even when mommy has time, she’s with Uncle Laurence..."

"Does your mommy often meet with Uncle Laurence?"

"Yes... Uncle Laurence asks mommy out every day, and mommy always dresses up nicely to see him."

Chester nodded, "Adults can’t always be with children, sometimes they have their own things to do."

"But Uncle, Aunt PA said mommy and Uncle Laurence will get married in the future. After they marry, Uncle Laurence will live with mommy every day, then mommy will have even less time for Rachel..."

"Silly girl, why would you think that? Your mommy will always love you the most."

"Really? Even if mommy and Uncle Laurence have a baby in the future, she’ll still love me the most?"

Chester paused for a second, "Of course, your mommy will always love you the most."

"Rachel..."

A call from Aunt PA was heard.

Rachel lifted her head quickly, "Aunt PA, I’m here..."

Aunt PA ran into the dining room, and upon seeing Rachel, she breathed a sigh of relief, "Rachel, you scared Aunt PA. Your mommy asked me to bring you down for breakfast, but you vanished in the blink of an eye. Aunt PA’s been looking all over for you..."

Rachel apologized, "Sorry, Aunt PA, I went to find Uncle."

Aunt PA then noticed Chester sitting beside Rachel, and immediately nodded respectfully, "Mr. Robinson."

Chester maintained his usual indifference, "Where’s Alice?"

Aunt PA replied honestly, "Miss is in the study, she said she will be busy all morning and instructed me not to disturb her."

Chester’s face turned cold, "What is she busy with that she doesn’t even have time to have breakfast with her daughter?"

Aunt PA dared not speak up.
