She seemed disturbed by him, whimpered softly, and turned to sleep on the other side, without waking up. Her body was curled up slightly, like a lazy kitten.
He couldn’t help but smile, and pulled the quilt over her.
At that moment, her phone on the bedside table rang.
She rolled over slightly, fearing the ringtone would wake her, he quickly picked up the phone and pressed mute.
He looked at the phone screen, the name "Claud" flashed on it.
He didn’t hang up the call directly, just placed the phone back on the bedside table.
He kissed her forehead, got up to prepare for a shower, and then her phone vibrated again on the bedside table.
Seeing some words displayed on the screen, he furrowed his brows slightly and picked up the phone.
The text message was from Claud Laurence――
Have you slept? Baby.
Seeing the word "Baby," Chester’s face darkened slightly, and his dark eyes shot out dangerous sharpness. He directly pressed the delete button for the message, while previous messages between her and Claud Laurence also popped up on the screen.
He looked at the recent few, timestamped when he was in T City watching Rachel, the messages were about a discussion of the same topic.
Alice: Claud, I don’t want it too grand, just simple... I think the environment in Bali Island is nice.
Claud Laurence: If you like Bali Island, then we’ll arrange it there, we’ll invite a few relatives and friends to witness us.
Alice: Umm... After the ceremony in Bali Island, I want to go to Tokyo, I think your mom would like to see you settled down.
Claud Laurence: Baby, you’re so thoughtful.
Alice: Also, I want to design the wedding dress myself.
Claud Laurence: Whatever you say goes.
Alice: Not going to talk to you now, my subordinates just arrived, I need to hold a brief meeting... We’ll talk tonight.
Claud Laurence: Okay, I’ll pick you up tonight.
Alice: Okay.
The text conversation between Alice and Claud Laurence was sweet.
Chester’s eyes radiated anger, his face was terrifyingly grim, he casually tossed the phone to the corner of the wall.
The phone was immediately disassembled, pathetically lying in the corner.
The next day.
Alice whimpered softly, slowly waking from her slumber.
Stretching lazily, she sat up with sleepy eyes.
The surroundings gradually cleared her senses, she quickly looked at the sofa, Chester was not there.
She immersed herself in thoughts for a few seconds, jumped off the bed, and pulled open the curtains to let in the sunlight.
The moment the curtains were drawn open, the sunlight poured onto her body, she gasped.
Heavens...
The sprawling white sand beach, clear sea waters, tall shading coconut trees, and cloudless blue sky... formed a beautiful scenery.
Alice covered her mouth to suppress further gasps, she could hardly believe the stunning beauty before her eyes...
Suddenly, a white silhouette on the beach caught her attention.
It was Chester.
His tall and upright figure stood on the pristine beach, facing the boundless sea.
He wore white casual clothes, with the breeze lifting the hem, gracefully flowing in the air.
For some reason, as she looked at his majestic back, she suddenly felt a hint of loneliness.
Perhaps the vast blue sea and sky around magnified the solitude of his figure.
He stood alone by the sea, seemingly lost in thought.
Alice changed her clothes, quickly washed up, ready to pick up the phone and call Claud Laurence, only to find, surprisingly, her phone was lying in a shattered state in the corner of the room.
On the beach, Alice took a deep breath and walked towards Chester.
She approached behind him, suddenly feeling a chill in the air, emanating from him.
Alice spoke coldly, "Why’s my phone broken?"
Chester’s silhouette remained silent without a word.
Alice frowning with displeasure, intending to step forward, Chester turned around at this moment.
Chester’s face was stern, his eyes sharp as blades, piercing at her, the dark gaze reflecting his current mood.
His chilling gaze startled her, she involuntarily shivered, straightening her posture, "Did you break my phone?"
Chester’s thin lips pressed tightly, still not speaking.
Faced with Chester’s intimidating gaze, Alice’s legs involuntarily moved backward.
Chester cast a cold glance at Alice, striding forward alone.
Alice was stupefied, not understanding why his mood was so terrible this morning, she thought they were fine last night.
