Chapter 1076 - 557: Extra: His Sharp Tongue
"Place it here... Look, the white edge should align with the other blocks’ white edges, then see what’s missing in terms of shape, then align it...""Oh, Uncle, I got it..." Rachel happily placed the block in the spot according to Chester’s teaching, and sure enough, it fit perfectly.
Rachel was very happy, clapping her chubby little hands, "Uncle is awesome..."
Chester smiled.
Rachel said, "Uncle, I want to play again..."
"Alright, but remember to wash your hands afterward... The toys are dirty, you know?" Chester gently reminded her.
"I know, Mommy says that to me too."
"Hmm, good girl."
Chester gave Rachel’s chubby, innocent face a kiss, and ruffled her little head.
Just as Rachel was reaching to gather all the blocks to herself, she noticed Alice standing at the doorway all along.
"Mommy!"
Rachel excitedly stood up from the sofa.
Alice was startled for a moment, then walked over.
Rachel happily stretched out her arms to hug Alice, "Mommy..."
Alice lifted Rachel up from the sofa.
Chester had stood up and was now face-to-face with Alice.
Alice’s gaze was fixed on him, as if she couldn’t believe it, and after a while, she finally said, "Brother, you’ve come back..."
Chester nodded slightly.
Rachel couldn’t contain her excitement and told Alice, "Mommy, look uncle bought me lots of toys... Uncle even taught me how to play with them, uncle is so awesome!"
Alice’s eyes showed a bit of surprise.
Chester asked, "You don’t have plans with friends tonight, do you?"
Alice was lost for a few seconds, then snapped back, "No."
"Stay home and have dinner with me!"
"Okay."
Without saying anything more, Chester turned, his tall figure heading upstairs.
Alice stared at Chester’s tall back in a daze, until Rachel’s chubby little hand waved in front of Alice’s eyes, "Mommy, why are you staring at uncle?"
"I’m not."
Rachel wrapped her arms around Alice’s neck and asked innocently, "Mommy, uncle just hugged me and kissed me... Does uncle not dislike Rachel anymore?"
"Little one, when did mommy ever say uncle disliked you?"
"But uncle never talked to Rachel before..."
"That’s because... because..."
Alice found herself unable to answer Rachel, because of the answer in her heart, which she couldn’t tell Rachel.
During dinner, Alice helped Aunt PA tidy up the utensils in the dining room.
"Miss, I’ve told you, with so many servants in the house, you don’t need to do this..." Aunt PA quickly grabbed the plate from Alice’s hands.
Alice took it back seriously, "Aunt PA, it’s because you and Daddy spoiled me too much before, that’s why I don’t know how to do anything now... I’ve said that I want to learn to stand on my own in society, so now I have to learn everything, even housework, I have to do it. I need to set a good example for Rachel."
Aunt PA smiled, "Alright, alright... Just don’t hurt yourself."
"I won’t."
"By the way, Miss... You and Mr. Robinson have completely reconciled, right?"
Alice nodded, "It was my immaturity in the past that led me to think those things... But actually, my brother and I are each other’s closest family in the world, we shouldn’t have drifted apart."
Aunt PA said apologetically, "It’s all my fault, if only I hadn’t encouraged you to talk to Mr. Robinson then..."
"Aunt PA!" Alice interrupted Aunt PA, "Don’t bring these things up again in the future, what’s past is past... In the future, he’s just my brother, Rachel’s uncle, and I won’t think about anything more."
Aunt PA nodded, "I heard on TV that Mr. Robinson has a girlfriend now... Some things have indeed passed."
Alice smiled and said, "My brother might bring his girlfriend over for dinner this week... Aunt PA, please prepare."
"And what about you?"
"What about me?"
Aunt PA laughed, looking at Alice, "Miss, don’t think I don’t know... I’ve seen him drop you off several times."
"Stop guessing, it’s just... just..." Um, she should call Claud Laurence her boyfriend, yet she couldn’t bring herself to say those three words.
Aunt PA said, "Miss, General Laurence seems nice, very gentlemanly, handsome, and the news says he’s quite wealthy... When will you also bring General Laurence home for dinner? I heard General Laurence doesn’t stay in Paris often, it’s not good to stay in a hotel all the time, have him stay here at home."
Aunt PA didn’t know that as she said this, Chester had just walked into the dining room.
