Chapter 1194: 625: Extra Story: The Big Bad Wolf and the Little White Rabbit’s Night

Chester replied, "There’s no way for you not to stay here, you can’t see the way at night, what if we get lost at sea when I try to take you away now?""Uh..."

The fire in the fireplace was lit, illuminating the whole house.

Alice Robinson sat on the sofa, and the feeling of fear finally swept away.

Luckily, once the fire in the fireplace was lit, the villa became very cozy.

The classical European-style decor was not only cozy, but also gave one the feeling of being in a medieval castle, with a unique sense of romance.

Chester, who had made the fire burn brighter, clapped his hands and sat beside Alice Robinson, softly asking, "Still scared now?"

Alice Robinson shook her head.

Chester smiled, "I’ll see what there is to eat, I can see you’re hungry too."

"Hmm."

Chester got up, walked to the refrigerator, and opened it.

The refrigerator was packed full of food, but there wasn’t anything that could be eaten directly.

Alice Robinson asked, "What’s wrong? Is there nothing to eat in the fridge?"

Chester took out a few items from the refrigerator and said, "There’s a lot, but it all needs to be prepared."

Alice Robinson got up, walked over to Chester, looked at the vegetables and beef in his hand, and said, "I can prepare them, but I don’t know if there’s a kitchen here."

Chester handed her the food, "I’ll go have a look."

Chester found the kitchen.

The kitchen was very clean, with all the tableware complete, and there was natural gas, crucially, there was also a fireplace for lighting a fire.

Chester lit the firewood in the fireplace, illuminating the entire kitchen.

Alice Robinson brought the food to the worktop and began processing the food.

Chester, hands in his pants pockets, leaned casually against the doorframe, elegantly looking at her, and said, "When did your cooking get so good?"

He still remembered how her cooking a year ago was nothing to praise.

Alice Robinson kept her head down, processing the beef, and didn’t answer him.

Chester turned to leave.

Alice Robinson suddenly looked up, "Where are you going?"

Chester said, "I’m going to see where we’ll be sleeping tonight."

"You..." Alice Robinson seemed to struggle internally before dryly saying, "Can you stay here with me?"

She was genuinely afraid of the dark.

It wasn’t once or twice that she snuck to his bed to sleep with him because she was afraid of the dark as a child, so now she usually left a bedside lamp on when she slept alone.

Chester smiled and nodded, "Then I’ll stay here with you."

Alice Robinson said nothing more, lowered her head, and continued to process the beef.

She had to admit, having Chester by her side really set her mind at ease.

Alice Robinson’s cooking skills had improved by leaps and bounds over the past year, and she could fry a steak with ease; soon the aroma of the steak filled the kitchen.

Alice Robinson was focused on cooking, only glancing at Chester with her peripheral vision, but at this moment, when she was about to plate the cooked steak, she realized Chester was gone.

Alice Robinson was startled and was searching with her eyes when suddenly, someone embraced her from behind.

Alice Robinson’s movements froze, his pleasant masculine scent surrounded her.

His arms tightly wrapped around her from behind, his head resting on her soft shoulder, his deep and magnetic voice murmured in her ear, "Do you know how much I’ve missed you this past year?"

This was the scene she had once longed for in her dreams.

Him holding her, whispering tender and moving words to her, her every breath filled with his scent...

But now, her body noticeably tensed, and she broke away from him.

Alice Robinson put down the plate she was holding and put some distance between them, coldly saying, "I told you, don’t say those things to me."

In the dim firelight of the fireplace, Chester’s face was expressionless, but his gaze was unexpectedly gentle, "Are you afraid that if you hear it too much, you’ll accidentally reveal the fact that you still care about me?"

Alice Robinson quickly looked up at him, unaware that there was a touch of distress on her face. "If you break your previous promise, I will absolutely not stay here with you."

Chester took a step forward, approaching her, reaching out to touch her face, but Alice Robinson turned her head away.

"Please show some respect."

Chester was silent for a long time before finally speaking, "Are you still angry with me?"

Alice Robinson’s body trembled, unwilling to look at him.

"Don’t overestimate yourself, I feel nothing for you anymore."

Chester gazed at her intently and finally sighed softly. "I know you’re lying; your heart can’t be void of me."

Alice Robinson stubbornly turned her head away, her voice cold and indifferent.

"You’re really too arrogant."

Chester squinted his eyes, "If it’s really my arrogance, then look at me as you say that." He suddenly stepped forward and grabbed her, not allowing her to evade.
