She hadn’t expected the door to open from the inside at that very moment.
Keith Antony’s hand froze in midair. When he saw Alice Robinson, he hurriedly dropped it and called out anxiously, "Miss Alice..."
Aunt PA let out a breath of relief, and then saw that Alice had taken a shower, tied her hair back in a neat ponytail, and was dressed in a sharp office outfit.
"Miss, you... you’re going out?"
Alice nodded. "Help me take good care of Rachel. I’m going to the winery."
"You’re going to deal with winery business?"
"Mm, the winery’s holding a new product launch in a couple of days. Uncle Grant and the others have a lot they need to discuss with me."
Hearing this, Aunt PA was overjoyed. "Yes, yes... there’s still so much at the winery waiting for you to handle!"
Keith Antony also nodded again and again, secretly delighted that Alice was pulling herself together.
However, what Alice said next left Aunt PA and Keith Antony both stunned on the spot...
Alice spoke calmly. "Once I’ve finished handling everything for the new red wine launch, I’m going to temporarily hand the winery over to Uncle Grant and the others to run... I’m going to take care of my brother."
Aunt PA’s voice came out hoarse. "Miss..."
Keith Antony was about to speak, but Alice cut him off. "I know I worried you these three days, but my mind is clear. Every decision I make has been carefully thought through."
"But Miss, right now you don’t even know where Mr. Robinson is..."
"When I’ve taken care of the winery’s matters, I’ll find him."
Aunt PA shook her head helplessly, and couldn’t stop herself from blaming Keith again. "It’s all your fault, you’re the reason the miss has become like this..."
Keith Antony lowered his head, full of guilt.
Alice said evenly, "It’s not Assistant Antony’s fault. In fact, I should thank Assistant Antony... If he hadn’t told me about my brother’s situation, I wouldn’t have realized that I actually can’t let him go. And I couldn’t forget him yet chose to be with Claud Laurence—that wasn’t just hurting myself, it was hurting Claud Laurence too. Letting go of Claud Laurence is the most correct decision I’ve made."
"Miss, have you thought about the fact that Mr. Robinson has someone in his heart? Being with him... there’s never going to be a result for you..." Aunt PA said, heart aching.
Alice took a deep breath and let a faint smile ripple across her face. "Before, I cared too much about ’results.’ That’s why I missed out on so much time when I could have been with him... In fact, what’s so important about the ending? What matters is that I can be by his side."
"So even if Mr. Robinson doesn’t love you, you’re still willing to stay with him?"
Alice nodded firmly. "Whether he loves me or not doesn’t matter. What matters is that I love him... I have to stay with him through the hardest days that are coming."
Hearing this, Keith Antony was deeply moved. The scales in the depths of his heart finally tipped toward supporting Alice. "Miss Alice, I may not be able to guess the boss’s thoughts, but I’ve followed him for so many years, and I can tell his feelings for you are definitely not just brother and sister... I believe that as long as you persist, one day he will admit it."
Alice smiled. "Thank you, Keith..."
Keith Antony smiled along with her.
"Oh right, Assistant Antony, I want to ask you for a favor..."
"Go ahead."
"I want you to use every possible means to get in touch with my brother. I want you to inform him that the winery’s new product launch will be in two days. I can’t handle everything alone. I hope he’ll show up. No matter what, he’s still the Robinson family’s ’only son.’"
Keith Antony replied quickly, "I’ll do everything I can to contact the boss."
Aunt PA asked in confusion, "Miss, how are you ’alone and helpless’? Isn’t General Laurence coming too?"
Alice gave a bitter smile. "He probably won’t come anymore..." She had hurt him that deeply.
On the way to the winery, Alice was very calm. She drove all the worries from her mind and focused completely on handling business first.
The driver was afraid Alice would be bored, so he kindly asked, "Miss, would you like to listen to the news?"
Perfect timing—listening to the news could distract her and help settle her heart.
"Okay."
The driver immediately turned on the car radio...
Alice closed her eyes, letting herself sink into the pleasant voice of the news anchor.
But after a few consecutive social news items, the anchor suddenly spoke in a joyful tone. "Up next is a piece of delightful news... The man who enjoys a stellar reputation in the medical world and has been dubbed the world’s most handsome, and who also happens to be the only son of the French Robinson Manor red wine family—Chester Robinson—finally announced an hour ago that he and his girlfriend, Charlotte Yule, will be holding their engagement ceremony in France a week from now... We all know that not long ago, ’Jorna’ Group’s president, Claud Laurence, just announced that he would soon be getting engaged to his girlfriend, Alice Robinson, and now there’s her brother as well... I believe Robinson Winery is sure to have a wind-at-its-back year, with two such grand happy events..."
