Chapter 1232: 644: Extra Story: The Little White Rabbit Brings the Wolf Into the House 3

Aunt PA stood up in shock, "Miss, why are you unwilling to give Mr. Robinson a chance? Do you feel that this would be unfair to General Laurence?"Alice Robinson quietly gazed into the distance and spoke softly, "I don’t want to be his fallback... I’m well aware of his feelings for Becca. Right now, he’s merely settling for second best because he can’t have Becca. In the past, I might not have minded being his fallback because I loved him so deeply, all I wanted was to stay by his side. But now, I won’t let myself live so humbly... Even if I can’t marry Claud with a pure heart now, I won’t accept Chester Robinson’s impure heart."

Aunt PA sighed, "Miss, your personality really resembles Madam’s. She also couldn’t accept that Sir had a child with someone else outside, so even though Sir later tried many ways to win Madam back, Madam still chose not to forgive him, eventually passing away in unhappiness. But the truth is, Madam really loved Sir... Just like you, Miss, she simply didn’t want to compromise herself."

Alice Robinson looked at the blooming flowers in the garden. They might not be as alluring as roses, nor as noble and elegant, but they never lowered themselves. They still required fertile soil like roses, still needed sunshine and rain. They may accept that they can’t compare to roses, yet they always bloom with heads held high, never lowering themselves.

A phone ringtone interrupted Alice Robinson’s thoughts.

She took out her phone and glanced at it but didn’t answer for a long time.

Aunt PA approached Alice Robinson’s side and asked softly, "Who’s calling? Why aren’t you answering, Miss?"

Alice Robinson’s eyes remained faint and silent.

Aunt PA saw the number displayed on Alice Robinson’s phone and exclaimed joyfully, "It’s Mr. Robinson."

Alice Robinson simply pressed the decline button.

Aunt PA’s smile froze instantly, "Miss..."

Alice Robinson said lightly, "I don’t want to contact him anymore."

"Miss, Mr. Robinson must be calling about the news. Why don’t you discuss it with him?"

"I’ll handle it myself."

"But..."

Before Aunt PA could finish, Alice Robinson was already walking to the second floor.

In the room on the second floor, Alice Robinson stood by the window, watching the journalists being vigorously held back by the family’s bodyguards and servants outside the villa gate.

She furrowed her brow in annoyance.

"Mommy..."

A child’s voice reached Alice Robinson’s ears.

Alice Robinson put away her troubled expression and saw her daughter running towards her with a plush toy.

Rachel dropped the plush toy and hugged Alice Robinson’s leg, "Mommy."

Alice Robinson bent down and picked up her daughter, "What’s wrong, sweetheart?"

Rachel asked, "Why can’t I go to school these past two days?"

"Didn’t you always say that Mommy has no time for you? Mommy isn’t going to the office these days, so I took time off from your teacher so you can stay with me."

"But Mommy doesn’t take me out to play."

"Uh... It’s not possible these days, maybe in a few days, okay?"

"...Okay."

Seeing Rachel lower her head after answering, Alice Robinson asked with concern, "Sweetheart, why do you look unhappy?"

Rachel answered, "I miss uncle."

Alice Robinson was startled, "Didn’t I tell you that uncle went to a very faraway place again?"

"But uncle promised he would come back, he also said he would buy me a whole set of Plants vs. Zombies Dolls."

Alice Robinson frowned, "Mommy told you before not to buy those game dolls, right?"

Rachel covered her mouth, realizing she had accidentally let it slip.

Alice Robinson looked seriously at Rachel, "What else have you told Uncle?"

Rachel quickly waved her hands, "Nothing... I didn’t ask Uncle to buy anything else, it’s just that Uncle said it’s okay for kids to play some games occasionally, so I asked Uncle to buy the Plants Vs Zombies dolls..."

"Alright, you’re not allowed to hide from Mommy about asking Uncle for toys in the future."

"Oh."

"Okay, go play by yourself... Mommy needs to think about something." Alice Robinson placed Rachel on the ground and kissed her daughter’s beautiful forehead.

Rachel didn’t immediately run away, but blinked her long eyelashes and looked at Alice Robinson, suddenly asking, "Mommy, is Uncle’s name Chester Robinson?"

"Yes!"

Rachel lowered her head and said "Oh," looking very thoughtful in her small form.

Alice Robinson sensitively asked, "What’s wrong? Why suddenly ask about Uncle’s name?"

"Because I heard the name mentioned by reporters at the kindergarten gate the other day, they said I was Uncle’s daughter... I don’t understand, Mommy..."
