Chester said nothing, the light inside the carriage was somewhat dim, making his expression appear cold. Claud Laurence stood by the car and looked at Chester, whose expression remained unchanged, and said, "The fact proves that Alice’s heart no longer belongs to you. Please, do not harass Alice anymore."
Chester suddenly let out a cold laugh.
Claud Laurence frowned.
Chester turned his head arrogantly, his dark eyes cast a glance at Claud Laurence, "Whether or not her heart belongs to me is not something for you to tell me; I am well aware. The fact that I am letting her go with you now does not mean I am giving up on her... She will only be my woman."
Claud Laurence’s face turned livid with anger.
Chester leaned leisurely against the seatback, closed his eyes, and called softly, "Keith Antony."
On the side, Keith Antony quickly jumped into the car and instructed the driver, "Drive."
The car window slowly rolled up, blocking Claud Laurence’s angry expression.
The car sped away in front of Claud Laurence.
Inside the carriage, Alice Robinson stared dazedly as Chester’s car drove away.
She was in a daze, but Claud Laurence getting into the car brought her back to her senses.
Claud Laurence naturally put his arm around her waist and commanded Robin, "Drive."
The car started and slowly drove away in the opposite direction from Chester’s car.
Alice Robinson looked ahead for a long time before turning her head to Claud Laurence and asking, "You know to come here?"
"I found out a long time ago that you were in the United States, but I couldn’t pinpoint where exactly. Today, I received a call from Keith Antony. He told me about your whereabouts, and that’s why I rushed here at once."
Alice Robinson was slightly stunned, "Keith Antony told you?"
Claud Laurence nodded.
Alice Robinson lowered her gaze.
Claud Laurence noticed her expression and asked, "What’s wrong?"
Alice Robinson shook her head, "Nothing." She and he finally had no entanglement anymore; she originally thought it wouldn’t be over after tonight.
Claud Laurence sighed lightly and gently cupped her delicate and beautiful face, "I shouldn’t have let you go with him. It’s only been a few days, and you’ve become so haggard."
Having just left the hospital, she was naturally haggard.
Alice Robinson smiled serenely, "I’m fine, I’m just a bit tired."
"As long as he didn’t bully you, that’s what matters. I was so afraid he might have done something to hurt you." Claud Laurence’s eyes held a strength matching Chester’s; if Chester had harmed her, Claud Laurence probably wouldn’t have let it go.
For some reason, at this moment, Alice Robinson should have explained to Claud Laurence the situation with Chester on Foam Island, but right now she found she didn’t want to say anything.
Claud Laurence noticed Alice Robinson’s silence and thoughtfully asked, "Are you tired?"
"A little."
Claud Laurence held her and let her lean on his shoulder, "Sleep for a while..."
"Where are we going?" Alice Robinson asked, leaning on Claud Laurence’s shoulder.
Claud Laurence replied, "To the nearest hotel from here... in the city, it will take about two hours of driving."
"Oh."
"What’s wrong?"
"Nothing."
Claud Laurence pecked Alice Robinson’s forehead lightly, "The hotels in the city are quite nice... Just sleep for a bit, I’ll wake you when we arrive."
"Hmm."
Alice Robinson closed her eyes.
Claud Laurence took off his jacket and covered Alice Robinson, then embraced her closely.
For some reason, once Alice Robinson closed her eyes, Chester’s figure flashed through her mind.
Claud Laurence saw Alice Robinson wasn’t sleeping very soundly and asked attentively, "What’s wrong? Is it uncomfortable to sleep sitting like this?"
Alice Robinson shook her head slightly, and in doing so, brushed away the handsome figure from her mind.
Claud Laurence lifted Alice Robinson and seated her on his lap, "Is it better now?" he made her comfortable leaning in his embrace.
Having never been so close to Claud Laurence, Alice Robinson’s body visibly trembled.
Claud Laurence noticed Alice Robinson’s reaction and smiled, "Seems like I should hold you more often."
His laughter eased their awkwardness, but Alice Robinson’s body remained tense.
Claud Laurence’s scent and Chester’s scent were completely different...
Both were pleasant male fragrances, but the one she was familiar with belonged to Chester.
"Go to sleep..."
"Hmm."
Claud Laurence’s gentle voice gradually relaxed Alice Robinson; resting in his embrace, amidst the complex and chaotic thoughts, she eventually drifted into slumber.
At the same time.
Keith Antony, sitting in the passenger seat, held back for a long time before finally glancing at the boss resting with closed eyes in the back seat, speaking softly, "Boss, did you really let Miss Alice leave with General Laurence?"
Although Chester had his eyes closed, he was merely resting, not asleep. He answered in a calm tone, "I have my own discretion."
