Chapter 1211: 633: Extra: The Little White Rabbit Can’t Escape 2_2

Having a measure? What does this mean?

Keith Antony was puzzled and chuckled, "Boss, does what you’re saying mean that you never really intended to let Miss Alice go?" He knew the boss’s words to General Laurence were definitely not for appearances; the boss wouldn’t miscalculate.

Chester Robinson opened his eyes, his face expressionless, and replied indifferently, "Her personality is stubborn. The tighter I try to force her, the more she resists..." Last night truly frightened him, and he dared not push her too hard again. But he wouldn’t let her go, because he knew her heart still held him.

That day he sang to her, and she cried.

If she truly didn’t care about him, why would there be emotional fluctuations?

He knew he had hurt her deeply before and that winning her back wasn’t a matter of overnight efforts. If he pushed her too hard, the results might backfire. He could only advance by retreating, breaking through her defenses bit by bit.

He had said he would not give up.

Keith Antony sighed with relief, "Boss, you really scared me. I thought you really let Miss Alice go with General Laurence... But, Boss, Miss Alice indeed left with General Laurence; in the quiet of night, you..."

Chester Robinson closed his eyes, no longer responding to Keith Antony.

Keith Antony was concerned, but the driver’s cheerful voice came, "Assistant Antony, given the boss’s acumen, do you think he’d really let General Laurence have a chance with Miss Alice?"

Keith Antony became instantly excited, "What does that mean?"

The driver replied meaningfully, "You’ll understand later... Now let the boss rest for a bit, maybe he’s the one who’s exhausted tonight."

Keith Antony picked out sensitive words, "Exhausted?"

The driver nodded suggestively.

Keith Antony understood and turned to look at the boss, "Then let’s not tire out our future boss lady!"

Chester Robinson, expressionless, said, "Talkative."

Keith Antony laughed discreetly, "I always knew Miss Alice couldn’t escape the boss’s hans."

Two hours later.

A black car stopped in front of a hotel in the city closest to Foam Island.

Inside the car, Claud Laurence was about to carry Alice Robinson out when she woke up.

Claud Laurence was content seeing Alice wake up in his arms and smiled, "When you sleep, you’re as lazy as a little cat."

Alice Robinson, embarrassed, adjusted herself on Claud Laurence’s lap, "Sorry for letting you see; I’ve always had a rather bad sleeping posture..."

Claud Laurence pressed Alice onto his lap, saying, "Don’t move. I’ll carry you out."

"I’m not a patient."

Claud Laurence pecked lightly on Alice’s lips, "But I want to hold you like this."

"Uh..."

Alice Robinson didn’t have time to refuse before Claud Laurence carried her out.

The hotel wasn’t large, but appeared cozy; it was the best hotel in this small city.

Receiving attentive glances from the two waiters outside the hotel, Alice Robinson felt quite embarrassed. She gently tapped Claud Laurence, "Put me down; I want to walk by myself."

Claud Laurence’s dark eyes gleamed as he looked at her, "Feeling shy?"

Alice Robinson’s face turned red, feeling awkward.

Claud Laurence didn’t force Alice; he put her down.

Alice Robinson lowered her head and walked towards the hotel.

Claud Laurence followed her, feeling an inexplicable satisfaction from her blushing face earlier.

At the hotel counter, Robin was handling the check-in for Claud Laurence and Alice Robinson.

Claud Laurence, holding hands with Alice, was in a good mood and didn’t notice her constant thoughtful state.

"General Laurence..."

Robin suddenly approached them.

Claud Laurence responded lightly, "What’s up?"

Robin awkwardly asked, "Is it one room or two? One room is for couples, and two are standard rooms, although the standard room is a bit worse than the couple’s room."

Alice Robinson sharply raised her gaze due to Robin’s question.

Claud Laurence glanced at Alice’s widened eyes, "Let’s not bother; we’ll take one room."

"Understood."

After talking to Robin, Claud Laurence glanced at Alice again.

Alice Robinson kept her head down, saying nothing.

Claud Laurence also didn’t say much; he just gripped Alice’s hand tightly.

In the elevator, Claud Laurence watched the numbers rise and asked, "What are you thinking?"

Immersed in thought, Alice Robinson suddenly returned to reality, a bit embarrassed, shaking her head.

"Get a good night’s sleep tonight. We’ll head to France tomorrow morning."

Alice Robinson nodded.

Claud Laurence raised Alice’s tightly held hand and kissed the back gently, "I’ve really missed you these past few days."

Words too cheesy for Alice, she kept silent.

The elevator "dinged" as it opened.

Claud Laurence led Alice out of the elevator.

For some reason, Alice’s heart was pounding hard; she felt very nervous.

Claud Laurence used a card to open the room, holding her hand as they entered together.

The room’s lighting was not very bright, evidently intentionally arranged for couples.

Alice’s palms began to sweat, and she suddenly felt somewhat at a loss.

Claud Laurence, considerate as always, sensed Alice’s tension and released her hand, gently caressing her delicate face, "Though I want to, I know you’re not ready. I just can’t rest assured leaving you alone in the room, so tonight, I’ll sleep on the couch, and you sleep on the bed..."

Claud Laurence’s gentle words made Alice lower her eyes guiltily.

Claud Laurence had always treated her with respect and care.

He understood her heart well. Being with him, she always felt happy, sometimes even grateful.

She knew he was a normal man with those needs, and as his girlfriend, whether in the past or now, she had always been distant in that aspect...

He never minded, yet always respected her, and she felt very guilty.

She was clear that his respect for her was also to give her time...

Choosing to accept him meant truly letting go of some people and things, but each time she withdrew, it inevitably hurt his heart, even if he never showed it.
