Free Web NovelChapter 1130: Chapter 589: Extra Story: Even If We Both Know the Truth, I Will Still Love You 1
Chester was amused by Charlotte’s playfulness, "Such a reputation doesn’t bother me. If it can help you, it would be repaying you for asking you for help these times."
"Don’t be formal with me, we are good friends... By the way, one last question."
"Hmm?"
"That day at the seaside, when Alice forced you to say ’I love you’, I’m really curious, did you say it just to save Alice, or was that what you always felt deep down?"
Alice had intended to step into their friendly conversation, but Charlotte’s question made her pause once again.
Alice noticed the moment when Chester’s eyes turned slightly deep.
Charlotte observed Chester paused for a long time without answering, impatiently remarked, "Oh come on, this question doesn’t need that much thinking..."
Chester’s lips parted slightly, as he was about to speak, suddenly interrupted by a childish voice.
"Uncle..."
It was Rachel, sweaty from playing, running towards Chester.
Chester picked up Rachel who was affectionately leaning against his legs, "Tired from playing?"
Rachel nodded, resting on Chester’s shoulder.
Charlotte had already forgotten the previous question she pursued with Chester, and went off to play with Rachel.
Alice stood in the shade of the trees, watching them for a long time, not knowing how much time passed before she turned and left the garden.
Crossing her arms, standing by the floor-to-ceiling window, Alice felt a bit cold.
People’s hearts are really strange, one moment can be passionate like fire, and the next can be cold like water...
Chester’s reaction just now made her heart fall to the bottom in an instant.
Actually, that night, soaking in the seawater forcing him to say "I love you," she didn’t hope that it was his true feelings, she just wanted such a reason to stay by his side... But unfortunately, people are creatures never fully satisfied, after getting what they want, they crave for more...
After getting his love and care, she began to hope that what he said to her that night at the beach was all true.
No one knew how happy she was when she woke up to find him holding her tightly...
The happiness of that moment, even if it meant being submerged by the seawater, she felt no regret because his limitless affectionate gaze and touching words were all she ever dreamed of...
But, behind such beauty, is it really without impurity?
She actually had no confidence at all...
The extent of his care for Rebecca Quentin, no one in this world was more aware than she, besides, she knew that Rebecca Quentin had long taken root in his heart...
"What are you thinking?"
He suddenly embraced her from behind.
She was so immersed in her thoughts that she didn’t hear him coming in.
She was startled for a moment, then turned around.
His eyes were filled with affection, looking at her tenderly, "When did you come back?"
"Just now."
"Why are you staying alone in the room? Didn’t the servant tell you I was in the garden?"
Looking at Chester’s endlessly loving face, Alice’s heart inexplicably felt a pang of bitterness.
If at this moment, his kindness to her came from the most genuine feelings, she would be touched by this moment...
But if this moment is merely his excellent acting, then her heartache now would be for herself.
Luckily...
No matter if his feelings for her are genuine, hers for him will be genuine.
She won’t leave him... Because it was so hard for her to come to his side.
She leaned into his embrace, holding him, inhaling his pleasant scent, softly said, "I was just thinking about leaving... I’ve already handed over work to Uncle Grant, for a long time in the future he will help me manage the winery, so now I can follow you to the ends of the earth."
He wrapped her in his embrace, with a force that seemed to cherish the moment.
She leaned into his embrace, temporarily dispelling all discomfort in her thoughts at this moment.
She asked him, "When are we leaving? Where are we going?"
"To T City."
His answer was consistent with when he answered Charlotte.
She had no objections, actually looking forward in her heart to going somewhere with him away from the hustle and bustle, to find a country where no one knows them, to cherish the upcoming time, but clearly, T City was not making them reach that level yet.
"When are we leaving?" She asked again.
"In a couple of days!" He said.
She looked up at him, "Do you have something else to deal with?"
He made a sound to acknowledge, without further explanation.
Already knowing from Keith Antony’s words that his stay in Paris involved unfinished matters...
But she thought he was staying for her, now it seems not.
Alice put aside everything, waiting for the day to go to T City with Chester.
The beauty between her and Chester over the past two days somewhat diminished a bit of her uneasiness...
She was never a sentimental person, so she chose to abandon the uneasiness in her heart and cherish the present.
At noon, Alice stayed in the kitchen, joyfully learning to cook with Aunt PA.
"Miss, you seem to be in a good mood today..."
Aunt PA couldn’t help but comment since she’d been humming like a cheerful yellow canary all morning.
"Hmm."
Of course, she was happy. She and he would be leaving Paris tonight, and in a foreign land, they could finally stop pretending to be siblings.
"Miss, are you sure you don’t want me to go with you?" Aunt PA asked sorrowfully.
Alice put down the egg she was drawing, a cooking trick she had just learned from Aunt PA... She hoped he could have breakfast made by her every day.
She took Aunt PA’s arm and said earnestly, "Aunt PA, I will miss you too, but the Robinsons can’t be left unmanaged. With you watching over the house, I can leave Paris with peace of mind."
Aunt PA worriedly pursed her lips, "Will there be servants to take care of you there?"
Alice chuckled softly, "Don’t worry... The servants there are very kind to me."
"Then you must take good care of yourself, I don’t want to find out you’ve lost more weight."
"Don’t worry... I will certainly keep myself well-fed and chubby."
Aunt PA was amused by Alice and finally relaxed her reluctance.
Alice helped Aunt PA prepare lunch and felt very excited when she saw the exquisite food she made laid out on the table.
She hadn’t even removed her apron before she went to the hall, happily calling him to come back.
Unfortunately, he told her over the phone that he was busy and would return later for lunch.
For her, who had been busy in the kitchen all morning, it was a bit disappointing.
Aunt PA saw her dispirited expression and asked with concern, "What’s wrong? Mr. Robinson won’t be back for lunch?"
Alice nodded, "He’s busy."
"Oh, never mind, Mr. Robinson must be handling important matters."
"Yes." Alice removed her apron and stood up, "I’m going upstairs to call Rachel down for dinner."
"Okay."
Even though she felt a bit down, the thought of soon going to T City with him quickly washed away her disappointment.
Returning to her room, she saw Rachel sitting on the carpet playing by herself, and walked in with a smile, "Sweetheart..."
Seeing Alice enter the room, the maid watching Rachel respectfully left the room.
Alice picked Rachel up, wiped her dirty face, and said with a smile, "Look at you, playing like a little kitten... Are you hungry?"
Rachel nodded.
Alice kissed Rachel gently, "Let’s go!"
As Alice was carrying Rachel and about to leave, she suddenly tripped over something.
Instinctively, she looked down and found that she had stumbled upon a diary.
Her heart inexplicably skipped a beat...
Alice put Rachel back on the floor, blankly picked up the diary at her feet.
Afraid she had done something wrong, Rachel quickly admitted, "Mommy, I just opened the drawer and found this book..."
Kids at this age were naturally inclined to rummage, and turning the house upside down was common, but unexpectedly, she had found this diary.
"Hannah..."
A young maid ran in, "Miss."
Alice said softly, "You take Rachel downstairs first, I’ll come down in a moment."
"Okay."
With only herself left in the quiet room, she leaned against the headboard holding the diary.
Memories played like a slideshow in her mind...
She still remembered when he had just fallen unconscious, she had inadvertently discovered this diary in his villa in T City, and later handed it to Rebecca Quentin...
Yes, it was Chester Robinson’s diary.
It recorded everything from the moments after meeting Rebecca Quentin...
She didn’t know if Rebecca Quentin had ever read this diary, but shortly after giving it to her, Rebecca Quentin returned it to her. Somehow, she had brought the diary from T City to Paris...
She had almost forgotten that this room still held this diary.
Casually flipping through the diary, she saw many beautiful descriptions about Rebecca Quentin from him... Her heart suddenly skipped a beat.
Quickly closing the diary, a sharp intake of breath accompanied her feelings.
A faint discomfort spread from her heart as the diary slipped from her hand.
Not until the diary hit her ankle did she regain her senses, staring dazedly at the book.
Suddenly, a line of numbers at the back of the diary caught her attention.
She picked up the diary again, staring at the numbers in confusion.
201X, X month, X day.
This seemed to be a very memorable number, deeply inscribed on the back of the diary.
She suddenly realized the dates recorded in his diary seemed to be today.
Dropping the diary, she rushed out of the room...
Aunt PA met her downstairs, and after quickly explaining to her, Alice hurriedly left the room.
She drove herself, overtaking other cars along the way.
Alice returned home in a daze.
Her appearance frightened Aunt PA, but fortunately, she still retained her rationality.
"Miss, what happened? Why did you rush out like that?"
"It’s nothing. I just suddenly remembered there were a few daily necessities I hadn’t bought, and I was worried they might not suit me in T City, so I hurried to buy them..." she said, waving the shopping bag in her hand.
