Chapter 1121: Chapter 584: Extra Story – He Finally Told Her: I Love You
Claud Laurence slightly furrowed his brows, "Even so, your days with him might not be too long..."
Alice Robinson resolutely replied, "I’m not afraid... Even if he only has one day left, I’ll live that day as if it’s a lifetime... This time, I want to accompany him to the very end."
Claud Laurence sighed softly, ruffling her hair, "You foolish woman..."
Alice Robinson smiled slightly, "Someday you’ll also meet a foolish woman like this..."
"Perhaps..."
"I’ll silently wish you well in my heart."
"If you need my help, call me anytime."
"I will..."
"Let’s go..."
"Mm."
No outsider at the banquet noticed anything unusual.
Claud Laurence was by Alice Robinson’s side throughout, and Chester Robinson was constantly accompanied by Charlotte Yule...
The four of them were dubbed as perfect couples by the outside world, destined to be the headline of tomorrow’s newspapers.
Chester Robinson didn’t stay long at the banquet, leaving early with Charlotte Yule due to her feeling unwell. Alice Robinson seemed oblivious, continuing to play the most coordinated couple with Claud Laurence...
Tonight, she drank quite a bit, and Claud Laurence didn’t stop her, accompanying her all the way.
Everyone thought she was celebrating the launch of the new winery wine, so even though she was drunk, no one suspected her...
After the party ended, she drunkenly got into Claud Laurence’s car...
"I’ll take you home."
She leaned against Claud Laurence’s chest, murmuring, "No... I’m not drunk, take me to a place..."
"Tell me."
"I want to go to Venus Hotel... yes... Venus..." Her brother would always stay at that hotel whenever in Paris because no one understood him better than she did.
"Venus" Hotel.
"Claud... thank you."
"Are you sure you can handle it?"
Claud Laurence supported the staggering Alice Robinson, still uneasy.
Alice Robinson squinted at Claud Laurence, her voice hoarse from drunkenness, "Do you think I’m drunk?" She held up two fingers, giggling, "This is two, right..."
Claud Laurence nodded.
Alice Robinson gently freed herself from Claud Laurence, holding onto the door frame, "Don’t worry... my mind is clear."
"Do you need me to knock for you?"
"No... no need, I’ll do it myself..."
"Alright then... hope everything goes well."
"Thanks."
Claud Laurence cast one last glance at Alice Robinson, then turned to leave.
Claud Laurence wasn’t truly reassured; he left two of his bodyguards to keep an eye on her.
Bang――
Alice Robinson reached out to knock on the door.
There was no response from inside.
Fighting against the numbing effect of alcohol in her brain, she raised her less agile hand and knocked on the door again.
Soon, footsteps sounded from the room.
Alice Robinson was already powerlessly leaning against the door.
Charlotte Yule didn’t expect that once she opened the door, a slender figure would tumble towards her.
Fortunately, she caught her in time to prevent her from falling to the ground.
After recognizing the person, Charlotte Yule was surprised, "Alice?"
Alice Robinson braced herself against the door frame, slowly standing upright, staring coldly at Charlotte Yule, "Move away..."
Charlotte Yule didn’t expect to see a drunken Alice Robinson, she was startled and tried to show concern, "Alice, what’s going on?"
But Alice Robinson didn’t appreciate Charlotte Yule’s concern; she suddenly pushed Charlotte Yule forcefully.
Charlotte Yule, pregnant, staggered from Alice Robinson’s push, then clutched her abdomen.
Charlotte Yule leaned against the cabinet, appearing uncomfortable, gradually bringing Alice Robinson back to sobriety...
She realized her mistake and was about to approach, when a tall figure rushed over, "Charlotte... are you okay?"
Charlotte Yule’s forehead was covered in beads of sweat, she shook her head, "I’m... fine."
Chester Robinson’s gaze shot towards Alice Robinson like cold arrows.
Alice Robinson’s face turned pale.
"I’ll take you to the hospital..." Chester Robinson tried to lift Charlotte Yule.
Charlotte Yule waved her hand dismissively, "It’s nothing serious... Alice... she’s drunk."
Chester Robinson carried Charlotte Yule to the sofa, and only after seeing she was okay did he approach Alice Robinson.
Alice Robinson, half sobered, stared blankly at his fierce eyes.
All night she had waited for this moment for him to truly look at her.
Even if with such a cold gaze, it was enough for her.
