Chapter 1226: 641: Side Story: The Big Bad Wolf and the Little White Rabbit’s Relationship Exposed

Claud laughed again, gently touching Rachel. Seeing Claud’s affection for Rachel, Alice Robinson kept her head down, feeling quite upset inside.

"Mommy, when is Uncle coming back?"

No one expected that while everyone was quietly eating, Rachel would suddenly ask such a question.

Alice Robinson swallowed the food in her mouth without chewing, it got stuck in her throat, causing her to cough.

Aunt PA quickly handed Alice Robinson some water.

Unaware of her mother’s unusual reaction, Rachel, with a mouthful of food, asked again, "Mommy, Uncle promised to come back with you and said he would buy me..." Rachel hastily covered her mouth, afraid of accidentally revealing her and Uncle’s secret, and gave Alice Robinson an adorable smile, "Mommy, when is Uncle coming back?"

Alice Robinson and Aunt PA both looked towards Claud.

Claud was eating, appearing normal.

Aunt PA sternly said, "Rachel, didn’t Grandma PA tell you? You shouldn’t talk while eating."

Rachel responded with an "Oh" and continued eating obediently.

Alice Robinson kept her head down, watching Claud’s expression. Although he appeared unemotional, she felt Claud was displeased.

After dinner, in order to create an opportunity for Alice Robinson and Claud to talk privately, Aunt PA took Rachel to the second floor early.

At this moment, in the living room on the first floor, Alice Robinson and Claud were facing each other.

Claud reached out to gently caress one side of Alice Robinson’s cheek and said softly, "I have to take care of something tonight, so I won’t stay here with you... You’ve had a long day of traveling and must be tired, get some rest early."

Alice Robinson felt troubled and at a loss for what to do facing Claud.

Claud kissed Alice Robinson’s forehead and turned to leave.

"Wait, Claud."

Alice Robinson called out to Claud.

Claud stopped, his back facing Alice Robinson.

Alice Robinson slowly spoke, "I would like to talk to you for a while, do you have time?"

Claud turned around, his face composed.

Alice Robinson and Claud walked to a floor-to-ceiling window in the living room, both looking at the garden outside where the lights had already turned on.

They remained silent for a long time before Alice Robinson spoke first, "Claud, I’m sorry..."

Claud did not turn to look at her, gazing quietly into the distance, his voice calm, "Why do you say that?"

Alice Robinson turned her head to look at Claud’s expressionless profile, "I think we probably need to revisit our marriage plans."

Claud remained calm, his tone cold, "Why?"

"Because there are some things I want you to know."

"If what you want to say is about Chester Robinson, I don’t want to hear it."

Alice Robinson’s body jolted.

Claud turned to look at Alice Robinson with indifference, "After spending a few days with him, did your heart waver for him?"

"It’s not like that, Claud, let me explain."

Claud chuckled, his soft tone tinged with pain, "Alright, go ahead and explain."

Seeing the pain in Claud’s eyes, Alice Robinson felt full of guilt and regret, "I... I..." But she found herself at a loss for words on how to explain.

"What’s wrong? Is it that hard to explain?"

His stern gaze made her feel cold.

He suddenly laughed coldly, "Alice, I think you don’t know how to explain to me, right? After all, it’s something unspeakable."

Unspeakable?

Alice Robinson looked at Claud in confusion, but she only received his aggressive gaze,

Claud suddenly yelled, "Don’t you know, you are my woman now!!"

His harsh voice made Alice Robinson step back in fear.

Claud suddenly stepped forward, grabbing Alice Robinson’s trembling shoulders, gritting his teeth as he spat out, "You said you wanted to explain... Alright, then explain to me what it means that you slept with Chester, what does your reluctance to part with him mean?"

Alice Robinson shook her head forcefully, "No... Claud, you misunderstood, I didn’t..."

Claud laughed painfully, interrupting Alice Robinson’s explanation, his eyes filled with hurt as he slowly released Alice Robinson, laughing foolishly, "In just seven short days, you gave your body and your heart to him again... And I, what do I mean to you?" After saying this, Claud hammered a fist onto the window with all his might.

Seeing Claud’s fist bleeding, Alice Robinson hurriedly went forward to support him, "Claud, it’s not what you think, I had nothing with him..."
