Chapter 1212: 634: Extra: The Little White Rabbit Can’t Escape 3

She shouldn’t be like this...Since she chose the path ahead, she should not hesitate, especially since she’s about to marry him.

What she can be sure of is that, in this world, only he will not hurt her.

She shouldn’t let Chester disturb her current rhythm of life; the person she cares about now is Claud Laurence.

Alice Robinson’s small hand placed on Claud Laurence’s gentle large palm; she looked at him deeply and murmured hoarsely, "I want to take a shower first."

Claud Laurence nodded, "I’ll have the hotel staff bring over two clean sets of pajamas for you." With that said, Claud Laurence turned towards the bedside table.

No one expected that at the moment Claud turned, Alice reached out and hugged him.

Claud Laurence’s body trembled slightly.

Alice rested against Claud Laurence’s back and said, "Sleep on the bed; it’s not small, enough for both of us."

Claud Laurence was first stunned, then turned back, eyes wide with disbelief, "Alice, you..." The glimmer in Claud Laurence’s eyes overflowed with unstoppable excitement.

Alice smiled with Claud Laurence, then turned and walked into the bathroom.

Claud Laurence hadn’t returned from his excitement until he saw Alice step into the bathroom; only then did he laugh out loud.

Soaking in the bathtub, Alice let the foam envelop her entire body.

Her head rested on the tub, her eyes staring blankly at the ceiling.

Why, after speaking those words with Claud, did she not feel happy at all...

Why is it like this? She clearly cared about Claud, she clearly liked Claud, she clearly was ready to spend the rest of her life with Claud...

"Go away!!"

Alice shook her head, trying to dispel that stubborn image in her mind.

How could this be? At this moment, all she could think of was that person’s image...

From the time they separated until now, she’s been thinking about him constantly.

She’s already lost feelings for him, why does she still think about him like this?

Why did she not think to complain about him after sex, when he rudely tried to touch her and she was angry at him?

Why is it like this?

Alice shook her head vigorously, finally submerging her whole head under the bathtub water.

After the shower, Alice stood in front of the mirrored sink.

She gazed dumbfoundedly at her own reflection.

Her hair had unknowingly grown long, reaching her neck...

Knowing this past year, every time it grew long, she would remember to cut it short, but this time, after Chester’s appearance, she somehow forgot to cut it, letting it grow unknowingly from behind her ears to her neck...

Why did his appearance disturb her life?

Because you still care about him.

The sudden voice in her heart repeated at Alice’s ear.

Alice covered her ears, shaking her head forcefully...

No...

She doesn’t care about him; she doesn’t care about him at all; he isn’t worth her caring...

He isn’t a man who doesn’t understand love; he once loved Rebecca Quentin so deeply, even at the cost of fighting Howard Geoffrey...

The most important woman in his life has always been Becca...

It’s only now that he understands he can’t have Becca, so he’s come to find her.

He settled for second best, and she isn’t interested.

She once desperately wanted to be with him, hoped that even if he treated her with a fraction of the sincerity he had for Becca, she’d be willing to stay with him to the end, but what he gave her was never true sincerity...

If she repeated the same mistake and got together with him again, she would truly be foolish beyond hope.

Let it end between them...

She wants to be with Claud Laurence, very happy and blissfully.

Taking a deep breath, Alice closed her burning eyes.

After adjusting her emotions, she smiled and walked out of the bathroom.

Alice came out of the bathroom to see Claud Laurence making a call by the window.

She eased her nerves, moving towards Claud Laurence.

"Aunt PA, don’t worry; if the other party is merely after money, the child will be fine. First, tell me the process of Rachel’s disappearance..."

Alice approached Claud Laurence from behind, and upon hearing Claud’s words, the serene smile on her face instantly froze.

Claud Laurence noticed Alice and put down the phone.

Alice looked at Claud Laurence in shock, her voice suddenly sounding hoarse and raspy, "Claud... who were you on the phone with? Was it Aunt PA?"

Claud Laurence reached out to support Alice, "Alice..."

"Hmm?"

"Rachel had an incident in Paris."

Alice’s slender body abruptly stepped back, "What... what happened?"
