Chapter 1225: 640: Extra Story: Time for the Big Bad Wolf to Appear_2

"Miss, was it after you went to Foam Island to find Mr. Robinson that you realized your feelings for him still existed?""Yes..." Alice Robinson’s voice was hoarse with a choke, "Returning to the island, seeing how anxious I was made him feel sorry. While comforting me, he called his subordinates in Paris. At that moment, watching him solve problems calmly made me feel at ease, and I suddenly realized that I still had a bit of dependence on him... That night, it was too late for me to leave the island. I didn’t expect it; he’d confess to me again, still pleading for one more chance, hoping our family could reunite. I turned him down, but at that moment, my heart felt hollow, like someone had scooped it out. Later, I saw him drinking on the terrace. I had never seen him drink so much; he was drunk, calling my name incessantly. I helped him back to his room and took care of him all night... When he woke up, he didn’t say much more, and he sent me off as promised. But at the moment of parting, hearing him bless me, my heart hurt so much; I actually cried..."

As she spoke, Alice Robinson’s eyes had already reddened.

Aunt PA sighed heavily after hearing it, "No wonder you’ve been avoiding General Laurence since you got back..."

Alice Robinson let out in anguish, "Aunt PA, I care about Claud; I truly want to be with him and genuinely plan to marry him. But now... am I really suitable to marry him? My heart, I’m not even sure myself..."

Aunt PA hurriedly advised, "Miss, it’s fine to say these words to me, but don’t ever say them to General Laurence. If you say these things to him, you and General Laurence are over..."

"I know, that’s why I don’t know how to face Claud..."

"How about this, when General Laurence comes tonight, discuss postponing the wedding with him, but make sure you don’t say it’s because of Mr. Robinson that you’re planning to delay the wedding."

Alice Robinson looked up at Aunt PA in a daze, "You’re not angry?"

Aunt PA smiled, "Why would I be angry?"

Alice Robinson awkwardly muttered, "Angry that I’m so useless... After finally living a year of tranquility, he disrupted it all again."

Aunt PA sighed and comforted, "Miss, what I most hope to see is you finding happiness... To be honest, Aunt PA always hoped you’d end up with Mr. Robinson, after all, Mr. Robinson is Rachel’s biological father, no matter how good General Laurence is, he can’t replace the position of Mr. Robinson as the biological father. But Mr. Robinson never had that thought towards you, and again and again, he hurt you, that’s why I worked hard to match you with General Laurence. I think, compared to choosing someone you love, it’s better to choose someone who loves you. However, I didn’t expect, Mr. Robinson actually wasn’t without feelings for you, he was just slow and didn’t realize his own heart..."

"So, Aunt PA, you won’t look down on me for being this useless..."

Aunt PA smiled, speaking earnestly, "Miss, you’re so silly, how could Aunt PA look down on you? Honestly, Aunt PA has watched you grow up; no one understands your feelings for Mr. Robinson better than me. Aunt PA has been afraid to let you know about Mr. Robinson’s news with other women all year, worrying you’d be sad. Aunt PA knows you haven’t let go of Mr. Robinson from the start..."

Alice Robinson pouted slightly, "He said he wasn’t involved with other women, he only created such news to get my attention..."

Aunt PA mumbled, "Look at you, your heart is already leaning towards Mr. Robinson..."

"I..."

"Alright, matters of the heart, even Aunt PA can’t help you. Just have a good talk with General Laurence tonight. Whether or not to explain clearly to General Laurence, that’s for you to decide. But I must speak for General Laurence; he truly is the best person for you."

At dinner time, Rachel pressed her flat belly and asked, "Mommy, can we eat now?"

"No, Uncle Laurence hasn’t arrived yet; we’ll wait for Uncle Laurence."

Rachel obediently said, "I’ll call Uncle Laurence to ask when he’s coming..."

"Okay."

The servant picked Rachel up from the dining table, and Rachel ran to the living room.

"Uncle Laurence!!"

Rachel’s joyous cheers brought Alice Robinson back from her thoughts.

Alice Robinson looked toward the hall and saw Claud Laurence, who had just entered from the door, squatting down to pick up Rachel who rushed into his arms.

Claud Laurence had always doted on Rachel, affectionately kissing her before carrying her lovingly towards the dining room.

Seeing Claud Laurence, Alice Robinson felt an inexplicable nervousness rise in her heart.

Claud Laurence, holding Rachel, sat opposite Alice Robinson.

As soon as Rachel sat down, she hurriedly asked Claud Laurence, "Uncle Laurence, can we eat now? Mommy said we have to wait for you before starting..."

Claud Laurence affectionately patted Rachel on the back of her head, "Of course you can, go ahead and eat..."

"General Laurence, I’ll serve you a meal." Aunt PA spoke from the side.

Claud Laurence smiled politely, "Alright."

After Aunt PA left, Claud Laurence looked at Alice Robinson apologetically, "Something came up unexpectedly, sorry for returning late."

Alice Robinson shook her head, "We didn’t wait long, you know Rachel always gets hungry easily."

Claud Laurence smiled faintly, picked up his chopsticks, and placed a piece of chicken in Alice Robinson’s bowl, "You’re so skinny, you should eat more..."

"Thank you."

Seeing this, with her mouth full, Rachel mumbled, "Uncle Laurence is so nice to Mommy!"
