Free Web NovelChapter 1131: Chapter 590: Extra Story: Even If I Know Deep Down, I’ll Still Insist on Loving You 2
Aunt PA breathed a sigh of relief and took the shopping bag, "Such small tasks should be done by the household staff..."
Alice Robinson smiled, "If I go myself, I won’t buy the wrong thing..."
"There’s no need to rush, it’s not until tonight you’re going to T City, and you haven’t had lunch..."
"I’m not very hungry, where’s Rachel?"
"She played all morning and fell asleep right after lunch..."
"Oh."
She returned to her room alone, and the moment she stepped inside, tears uncontrollably slid down.
She sat dazed at the floor-to-ceiling window, unable to stop the tears.
She childishly wiped them away with her elbow, yet the tears kept flowing.
Suddenly, she laughed foolishly, as if mocking herself...
Time quietly slipped away, and she didn’t know how long it was until the tears had dried in the flow of air.
She calmly got up and went to the bathroom to wash her face...
She didn’t expect him to be home right when she came out.
At that moment seeing him, she froze for several seconds, unable to clearly see him...
He loosened his tie and walked towards her, lovingly wrapping her in his arms, "What’s wrong?"
She looked at him, her eyes somewhat dazed.
He pressed his face against hers, his magnetic voice whispering by her ear, "Upset because I didn’t return for lunch?"
His embrace was so warm...
She was momentarily confused, then regained her composure, and gently shook her head.
"Did you eat?" he asked.
"I wanted to wait for you to come back."
He smirked slightly, smiling with affection, "Don’t wait for me next time, it’s so late, you’ll starve yourself, what then?"
She also smiled, "Aunt PA left us some food, shall we eat together?"
"I’m not hungry..." he teasingly pinched her cheek, "but I can keep you company... you head down first, I’ll change and join you."
"Okay."
He turned and went to the bathroom.
In the dining room, he was in casual attire.
Indeed, he wasn’t hungry, at that moment watching her eat heartily.
She playfully grumbled, "Watching me eat like this makes me self-conscious."
He laughed, "Then I’ll go have a smoke."
She nodded.
When he stood up, he didn’t forget to peck her cheek.
He got up and headed to the living room.
She watched his tall back turn away, slowly putting down her cutlery, not knowing what taste the food in her mouth had.
She stayed alone in the dining room for a long time before dumping the food in the kitchen trash and leaving the dining room.
He sat in the living room, having finished a cigarette, now on the phone.
She watched him from afar, seeing him speak with a triumphant smile.
She approached, hearing him talk business, about "QCS."
She sat down next to him, slowly leaning her face against his leg.
He stroked her hair on his leg, talking to his subordinates, yet looked at her with affection.
Her face pressed against his thigh, feeling the warmth of his body.
He ended the call, then tossed the phone aside, bending down to kiss her cheek, "What’s wrong?"
She closed her eyes, simply saying, "Let me lean against you for a while."
He chuckled lightly.
He wasn’t aware, at that moment, her eyes were filled with tears.
She was deep breathing on his leg, he sensed her subtle tremble and lifted her up. "Alice..."
She raised her head, her eyes somewhat wet, fortunately hidden by the smile.
"What’s wrong?" He was so perceptive, immediately seeing through her disguise.
She threw herself into his arms, her hands clinging to his shoulders, head resting on his solid chest, "I’m thinking about your illness."
He gently stroked her fragile shoulders, "Didn’t I say not to think about it?"
"I can’t help it."
He lifted her face, looking at her slightly reddened eyes, intentionally using a light-hearted tone to ease it, "I hate to see you with a red nose from crying, come on, let’s be happy."
"Geoffrey..."
"Hmm?"
"Can you say that sentence to me again?"
"Alice, I love you."
She closed her eyes in anguish.
At that moment, her mind replayed a scene from the dream...
He and she were wandering in a sunflower field...
He chased her down, holding her in his arms, firmly restraining her with his arms.
He whispered sweet nothings in her ear, making her shy and blush.
The dream’s sunlight was so bright...
But suddenly, this scene in her mind shattered like glass, painfully piercing her heart’s softness.
She slowly opened her eyes, beaming at him, "I love you too."
He pressed her down onto the sofa, in the Robinson family hall, they seemed oblivious...
Time flew by, in the blink of an eye she and Chester Robinson had been in T City for over a month.
This past month was the most relaxed time she’d ever had.
She did nothing all day, the only busy thing required was to accompany him.
He was busier in T City than in Paris, besides dealing with "QCS" internal affairs, he also had hospital matters to handle.
But whenever he had downtime, he nestled at home with her.
Just like at this moment...
Panting, she emerged from under the covers, trying to escape...
He stretched his long arm to pull her back under, "Where do you think you’re going..."
Her voice under the blankets was weak and soft, "I want to take a shower..."
He leaned over, murmuring, "Not finished yet..."
She looked into his lustful eyes, almost wanting to cry...
After finishing the second time today, she was already exhausted in his arms.
He kissed her sweat-dampened hair, feeling satisfied.
She couldn’t imagine how a man could still have energy to show his prowess in bed after a twelve-hour surgery.
She deeply admired his physique.
God knows how uncomfortable she felt right now, her whole body felt like it was falling apart...
She pounded him playfully, "Annoying... I already said I wanted to take Rachel to the amusement park this afternoon, and you made me break my promise again."
He pecked at her pouting lips, "I’m free tomorrow, I’ll go with you guys to play."
She was excited, "Really?"
He nodded.
She happily kissed his lips, "Rachel will definitely be very happy."
He deepened the kiss, showing signs of another revival...
She timely pushed him away, lifted the quilt, and got out of bed.
He leaned against the headboard, unabashedly gazing at her naked, graceful figure.
She casually draped a nightgown over her shoulders, poured herself a glass of water, then sat on the edge of the bed and opened the drawer to take out some medicine.
As she was about to take the medicine, he suddenly pulled her into his arms, and the pills slipped from her hand.
She was annoyed, "What are you doing..."
He held her waist, murmuring deeply, "Why so cautious?"
Though he hadn’t taken any contraceptive measures, he had finished outside both times.
The chances of pregnancy weren’t high.
Her face flushed slightly, pinching his cheek, "Isn’t it good to be cautious? Or do you want me to have another child with you now?"
He laughed loudly.
It seemed intentional when she spoke, gazing steadily at him.
His expression changed subtly, something only she could notice.
"Are you sure you want to have one?"
He suddenly pressed her down, looking at her mischievously.
She pushed him away, muttering, "You wish!"
He laughed heartily.
She sat up on the edge of the bed, took another pill, and swallowed it with water.
After taking the medicine, she patted him, "What do you want to eat tonight?"
He leaned against the headboard, the slipped sheet revealing his well-defined muscles.
He held her hand, "Are you going to cook for me again?"
She nodded, "I learned a new recipe online today, I’d like to try it out."
"Am I the test subject?"
She raised an eyebrow, "Will you eat it?"
"Yes..." He pulled her into his arms, gently nibbling at her smooth neck, murmuring, "When have I not finished everything you made?"
She huddled her shoulders, "It tickles, stop it..."
He whispered in her ear, "Anyway, you’ve already broken your promise to Rachel, why not spend some time with me?"
"Huh?"
He suddenly pulled down the quilt...
The room began to echo with Alice’s piercing scream...
The next day.
An enjoyable afternoon, bright sunlight...
Alice got out of the car holding Rachel.
For the first time coming to the countryside, Rachel seemed very excited, hopping and skipping while holding Alice’s hand.
Alice rarely visited the countryside to experience nature like this, and was immediately captivated by the picturesque scenery.
Rachel couldn’t wait to roam freely in this beautiful environment...
"Don’t run around, be careful not to fall."
Chester hugged her, smiling, "It’s fine, Keith Antony is watching her."
"Mm."
Alice walked on the soft mud, arm in arm with Chester.
For Alice, who grew up in bustling cities, stepping on a muddy ground was something novel.
"Do you like this place?" Chester asked.
Alice nodded vigorously, gazing at the boundless greenery, "I didn’t know there was such a pure land in T City."
He held her close, "Once in a while, enjoying nature feels liberating."
Alice took a deep breath.
The air, mixed with the scent of fresh grass, was refreshing.
"The air is so good here!" she exclaimed.
Suddenly, he turned his face to the side, gently said, "Close your eyes."
"What for?"
"I want to take you somewhere."
"Is it a surprise?"
He nodded with a smile.
She obediently closed her eyes, looking as innocent as a child.
He supported her, saying, "I didn’t say you could open your eyes... no peeking!"
"Okay."
"I’ll guide you, be careful of the path."
"Mm."
Alice silently counted in her head, probably walked about thirty-some steps, he instructed her to stop.
She was really obedient, didn’t peek at all.
He whispered, "You can open your eyes now."
Anticipation filled her as she slowly opened her eyes.
When the scene before her, as if stepping into a dream, appeared in front of Alice, she was stunned for a long time.
