Contract Marriage: Abusive Love with Mr.CEO

Chapter 1093 - 567: Special Extra – A Kind of Caring That Is Kept in the Heart 4

Alice Robinson coldly walked up to Chester Robinson, looked up at him, and sneered, "Don’t you know what I’m talking about?"Chester Robinson’s gentle features gradually became rigid.

Alice snorted and said, "You think that by removing Uncle Grant and the others, you can make me submit and then beg you for mercy? Chester, you really underestimate me."

Chester’s expression had already turned frigid, "If there’s no evidence, don’t shout here."

With that, Chester intended to bypass Alice and leave the study.

Unexpectedly, Alice extended her hand to block Chester, gritting her teeth as she spoke, "Do I still need to spell out the evidence? You know deep down... What I don’t understand is, why do you treat me like this?"

Chester stopped in his tracks and looked at Alice indifferently.

Alice’s voice choked, "About the past, I said to treat everything as if it never happened, let’s each go our separate ways from now on... I thought there would be such an understanding between us, after all, we were once siblings... But why do you hurt the Robinsons? If you hate me, why did you help me fight for the Robinsons’ assets back then? You could have watched me have nothing at all. Since you’ve been merciful once, why are you now trying to frame me? Do you just want to prove to me that I’m nothing but an ant you can squash at will?"

Alice’s accusations pierced Chester’s heart like daggers.

He never expected that one day, she would speak to him like this.

Chester’s throat moved slightly as if he was suppressing something within it, his refined features turning icy, lines sharp.

Alice was not afraid of Chester’s current coldness and said angrily, "Put away your arrogance. Even if you leave me with nothing, I will not bow down before you."

Alice stared coldly at Chester, standing tall with her body.

After a long silence, Chester looked at her angry, pale face and calmly said, "Finished talking?"

Just like a knife had slashed through the heart, pain spread across the body.

Yes...

She still felt terrible because she once cared so much.

She always hoped that even if they couldn’t be lovers, they could be friends. If not friends, then simply relatives. If not even simple relatives, then strangers...

But he didn’t want that...

He didn’t like to see her doing well; he hated her so much, wishing for her to live in agony every day.

She didn’t know what had offended him...

If it was because she gave birth to Rachel against his wishes, he could have told her clearly...

She wasn’t someone unreasonable, she wouldn’t use Rachel to threaten him...

Why can’t he stand her being happy? Why does he hurt her like this?

The pain made Alice even stronger...

She didn’t allow the frail tears to accumulate in her eyes, glaring at Chester and coldly said, "Remember, I won’t let you bully me again, and I will never lose my will."

Chester stayed in place, watching as she angrily turned and forcefully pulled open the study door, leaving without looking back.

When Keith Antony came to find Chester, he happened to see Alice leaving Chester’s study, her eyes reddened, faintly glistening with tears.

Keith was stunned for several seconds before entering the study.

Seeing the boss slam his fist onto the office desk, Keith was stupefied for quite a while.

He knew that after following Chester for so many years, he had never seen Chester get angry because nothing ever stirred his boss’s emotions.

His boss was always strategizing, handling matters confidently, so nothing in this world could trouble or anger his boss...

This was the first time he saw his boss this angry.

Keith stood silently outside the door, not daring to make any noise.

Chester coldly stepped out of the study.

The day after Alice’s dispute with Chester, Grant, Lewis, and Harvey called Alice separately, saying they couldn’t shake off their worries about her and had decided to continue supporting her in managing the Robinson’s business.

This should have been excellent news for Alice, but she couldn’t be happy upon hearing it, because the elders’ sudden return precisely proved that the instigator was indeed Chester.

It was her defiance in front of him that brought back Grant, Lewis, and Harvey...

After all, he didn’t carry out his decision decisively.

However, he shouldn’t think that doing this would resolve everything. She wouldn’t pretend that nothing happened, and she would remember his cruelty forever.

In the afternoon, Alice was playing with Rachel in the garden when Claud Laurence called.

After arguing with Chester yesterday, she hadn’t slept a wink all night, not knowing why she just wanted to stay quietly in her room, thus she cut short her conversation with Claud Laurence, saying she wasn’t feeling well and wanted an early rest.

"Hello..."

"Feeling better?"

"Mm, I’m fine now..."

"You’ve been unwell lately, how about I accompany you to the hospital?"

"I won’t go; it’s just a small cold, and besides, I’m already much better today."

"Alice, don’t make me worry."

"Claud, I’m not a child. I know how to take care of myself. Don’t worry about me, okay?"

"You..."

"Alright..."

"I want to see you."

"Now?"

"Yes."

Alice glanced at Rachel who was planting flowers with a little shovel and said, "No way... I want to stay home with Rachel."

"I won’t be at ease until I see you."

"Come on... You have a party tonight you wanted me to attend with you, right? By then, you’ll surely see a lively, beautiful me," Alice said with a smile.

Claud Laurence chuckled softly.

"Alice..." Claud suddenly called out deeply.

"Hmm?"

"I really love hearing your laughter..."

Her laughter was as melodious as silver bells.

Alice Robinson felt a bit shy, "You always say such mushy things..."

"Every word I say to you comes from the bottom of my heart..."

"I know..."

"Imagining your smile puts my mind at ease."

Claud’s words felt like a warm current, flowing to the most desolate parts of Alice’s heart.

She looked into the distance, gripping her phone tightly, her voice slightly hoarse, "How wonderful it would have been if I had met you earlier."

Seven o’clock in the evening.

Alice changed into the gown that Claud Laurence had sent over.

It was a white off-shoulder gown that swept the floor, simple yet elegant and beautiful.

Alice had a great figure, and wearing this gown immediately elevated her aura to that of a goddess.

The updo, the delicate makeup, the beautiful, fair shoulders, the sexy collarbone... her beauty was breathtaking.

The maid, arranging the hem of Alice’s dress, admired, "Miss, General Laurence truly has an eye for things... The gown he chose fits you like it was tailor-made, it’s really beautiful."

Alice never particularly liked white, but it definitely looked more stunning on her than any other color. The key was, Claud Laurence liked seeing her in white as well.

"Alright, can you help me check if there’s anything else that needs to be adjusted..."

The maid informed Alice that Claud Laurence’s car was already parked in front of the villa’s gate.

Alice lifted her skirt, being supported by the maid, and slowly descended the stairs.

Aunt PA was holding Rachel in the hall, and upon seeing Alice, Rachel clapped her little hands happily, "Mommy, you look so pretty today..."

Alice came to her daughter’s side and kissed her daughter’s tender face, instructing, "Baby... you be good and listen to Aunt PA at home, okay? Mommy will try to come back early..."

Rachel nodded obediently.

Alice was supposed to turn and leave, but for some reason, she hesitated in front of Aunt PA.

Aunt PA sensitively noticed Alice’s expression and asked, "Miss, what’s wrong?"

"Uh... I was wondering... has my brother left?"

Since arguing with him yesterday, she hadn’t seen him again.

Whenever he was home, he would usually be in the study, but today she hadn’t seen him there all day.

Aunt PA said, "I haven’t seen Mr. Robinson today either, he might have gone back to T City!"

"Oh."

"What’s the matter, Miss? Do you need Mr. Robinson for something?"

"No, just asking casually."

"Mommy, Uncle hasn’t left yet..." Rachel suddenly piped up in her childish voice.

Alice was surprised, "How do you know?"

Rachel innocently replied, "Because Uncle told me, he said he’ll let me know when he leaves."

Alice pouted like a child, "Since when did you become so close with your uncle?"

Rachel asked innocently, "Mommy, don’t you like it?"

Alice, "..."

Claud Laurence personally got out of the car to meet Alice.

Alice wore a smile, "Claud..."

Claud wrapped his large hand around Alice, "What took you so long?"

"I had to dress up, didn’t I?"

Claud bent down and kissed her gently, "You’re already beautiful without dressing up."

Alice blushed and gave him a gentle push, "Get in the car!"

Claud immediately swept her up and placed her into the car.

Alice was startled; she never expected him to carry her...

She found she was not accustomed to it at all, her body tensed up immediately.

Claud followed her into the car, drawing her to his side, and asked softly, "What’s wrong, why are you so stiff?"

"N-no, I’m just a bit nervous."

Claud took Alice’s hand, "What are you nervous about?"

"I don’t think I’ve ever been with you at such a formal occasion before."

Claud chuckled, "Silly, what’s there to be afraid of?"

Alice gave a shy smile.

Claud held Alice close to him, "I can’t wait to take you to such occasions because I want the whole world to know that you are my woman."

Alice leaned against Claud’s shoulder, and inexplicably, her heart felt a bit chaotic.

Claud tightly held Alice’s hand, kissing her hand’s back tenderly, "I won’t allow you to think of anything else tonight, you must only think of me."
