Chapter 1074 - 556: Extra: Revealed Fatherly Love Toward Rachel
Alice hurriedly picked up Rachel and followed behind Chester.Chester and Alice didn’t come in the same car, so they arrived at the cemetery one after the other.
When Alice arrived at her father’s tombstone, Chester was already standing there with a bouquet of yellow chrysanthemums.
Alice held two bouquets of yellow chrysanthemums in one hand, leading Rachel who was holding a single chrysanthemum towards the tombstone.
Alice placed the flowers down and closed her eyes in silent mourning.
Rachel imitated her mommy, placing the flower in front of her grandfather’s tombstone, and closed her eyes just like her mommy.
Alice closed her eyes, remembering her father’s voice and smile, the sadness overwhelming her, causing tears to well up in her eyes.
Chester hid his face behind dark sunglasses, and no one could discern his emotions at this moment.
Daddy, I miss you so much...
Alice silently expressed her longing for her father, as images of her father’s tender love for her flashed in her mind.
When leaving the cemetery, Alice’s eyes were still red.
Rachel held Alice’s hand, bouncing happily, unaware of the significance of the somber day.
As she stepped out of the cemetery gate, Alice noticed that Chester’s car wasn’t heading back to the Robinson villa...
Yesterday, she heard Keith say he would return to New York today, and the direction of his car seemed to be towards the airport...
She hadn’t received an answer to what she’d said to him yesterday, so she needed to get an answer before he left.
Handing Rachel over to the PA mammy accompanying her, Alice went to Chester’s car, "Brother..."
He wore sunglasses, making it impossible for her to see his current mood.
Alice spoke hesitantly, "Did you consider what I said yesterday?"
"I’ll return to Paris in a week... Then I’ll bring your sister-in-law to meet you." He looked down at a document that seemed to require his attention, replying to her indifferently.
His first statement made Alice happy because it meant their estrangement was ending, but his subsequent remark made her pause.
Sister-in-law...
She had never imagined she would need to use that title in her life...
It seemed he was referring to Charlotte Yule.
She hadn’t expected their relationship to progress so quickly, and he openly admitted Charlotte’s identity to her...
Alice thought she wouldn’t be upset at this moment, but the sharp pain in her heart made her stagger...
The servant next to her quickly stepped forward to support her, "Miss, are you okay?"
Alice steadied herself and shook her head, "I... I’m fine, let’s go back!"
While the PA mammy accompanied Rachel in play downstairs, Alice returned to her room and leaned against the headboard alone.
Lost in her thoughts for a long time, her phone rang.
Recently, the person who had called her the most was Claud Laurence, so she picked up the phone, not even glancing at the number displayed on the screen, and dazedly brought the phone to her ear, "Hello..."
"Get my room ready, I’ll be staying at home next month."
The familiar gentle voice in her ear made Alice sit up straight immediately, "...Brother."
Chester acknowledged with a "mm," and then ended the call.
Staring blankly at the phone, Alice felt a little chaotic inside.
At that moment, her phone rang again...
This time, the name "Claud Laurence" appeared on the phone screen.
For some reason, at this moment, she didn’t want to answer Claud Laurence’s call; she just wanted to remain in silence...
Pressing the silent button on the ringing phone, she casually placed it on the bedside table, staring blankly at the room’s floor-to-ceiling windows, lost in thought.
"Yorna" Hotel.
"I’m sorry, yesterday I forgot to bring my phone with me. When I saw your call in the evening, I was afraid of disturbing your sleep, so I didn’t call back."
At the dining table, Alice apologized to Claud Laurence.
Claud Laurence looked at Alice, his usual faint smile giving away nothing of his thoughts.
"Are you angry?"
Alice looked at him with innocent eyes, stealing a glance at him.
Claud Laurence shook his head, "Yesterday was your father’s memorial day; I worried you might not be in good spirits, so I called to check on you."
For some reason, his gaze seemed so gentle, yet it made her feel as if he had seen through her lie long ago.
Her gaze flickered somewhat, but she pretended to be firm.
"Not again... I don’t like it when you don’t answer my calls." Claud Laurence stirred the coffee beside him, saying casually.
