Chapter 1237: 646: Extra Story: The Big Bad Wolf Finally Snaps (Part 2)

Christine Quinn reached out to support Alice Robinson’s trembling body, "Look at you, still claiming you don’t care about him... If you’ve truly let go of him, why are you feeling sad about him now?"Alice took a deep breath, trying to dispel the sourness from her nose. She gave a lighthearted smile and said, "I admit, maybe I haven’t completely let go of the past, but I know very well in my heart that I won’t walk back the same path again."

"Alice, even if Chester loves you, you still wouldn’t want to go back?"

Alice regained her composure and said plainly, "No one understands him better than I do. The person he loves most in life is Becca... In moments of joy, the first person he thinks of is Becca to share with, in moments of sadness, he hopes Becca can be by his side... I’ve seen all his feelings for Becca, they are plain to me. He will never let go of her love in this lifetime, even if he comes back to me now, even if he tells me he loves me, his deepest love remains for Becca... He might genuinely want to spend his life with me, but Christine, can you relate to the feeling of being second place?"

Christine Quinn soothingly rubbed Alice’s slender shoulders, "I can understand, every woman hopes to occupy the most important place in the heart of the man they love... But Alice, have you thought that you believe you are merely second in Chester’s heart, that’s only your thought, it doesn’t represent Chester’s thinking."

"I know..." Alice said seriously, "Maybe I misunderstood Chester, and maybe he really knows how he feels about me, but Christine, I can’t afford to lose anymore... If soon I find that he still thinks about Becca, how will I bear it then?"

"Because you are afraid of getting hurt, so you don’t dare to get close to Chester... Even if he truly loves you, you choose to stay away, even if it means missing the potential happiness with him, but at least you can ensure that you won’t be hurt, right?"

"Without hope, there won’t be disappointment, I used to be too stubborn."

Christine Quinn sighed softly, "Are you really willing to miss the potential happiness with him?"

Alice’s eyes shone with tears, she smiled firmly and nodded, "There are many good girls in this world, he won’t be single all his life, there will eventually be a girl by his side, accompanying him through this lifetime."

"You’re not choosing Chester, are you prepared to choose Claud Laurence?"

"I don’t know... I don’t want to hurt Claud."

"I heard from Aunt PA that he gave you a week to think it over, is that right?"

Alice nodded, "I owe him so much... Over the past year, if he hadn’t been by my side, encouraging me, taking care of me, I might not have held on a year ago."

"So your feelings for Claud Laurence are guilt and remorse, you don’t love him."

"Love can be cultivated, his kindness to me has always moved me, I believe if I choose him, eventually I will fully fall in love with him, and I’m confident that being with him will make me very happy."

Christine Quinn sighed again, "I fear I can no longer speak on behalf of Chester to you because you’ve thought through it very clearly... Even though I hoped you and Chester would end up together, if in the end you choose Claud Laurence, I will still wish you well."

"Thank you."

Christine Quinn tucked in the blanket for Alice delicately, "Okay, I won’t say anymore, go to bed early... Since you’ve thought it through, don’t overthink it, have a good night’s sleep."

Alice nestled against Christine Quinn, obediently closing her eyes.

The sun was shining brightly, Alice felt good today.

After breakfast, Aunt PA took Rachel to school, and Alice stayed home accompanying Mrs. Geoffrey and Christine Quinn.

At this moment, the three were sitting on the sofa in the living room, Alice holding Mrs. Geoffrey’s arm, "Aunt, you rarely come to Paris, why don’t I take you and Christine out for a stroll... Paris is a city of romance, there’s the famous Eiffel Tower, there’s the Love Lock Bridge, and there’s the Rhine River, the Seine River..."

Mrs. Geoffrey interrupted Alice with a smile, "I’m too old, I don’t understand those romantic things..."

"I was afraid you might get bored."

Mrs. Geoffrey spoke warmly, "How could we be bored? You’re here keeping us company with your words!"

"Yes, Alice, the news about you and Chester hasn’t died down yet, going out isn’t convenient, you don’t need to specially accompany us outside, besides, we mainly came to see you this time... Let’s just chat at home today!"

"Alright then!"

The three chatted about mundane family matters, and before they knew it, it was noon.

At noon, Alice received a phone call from her secretary Andie at the company.

Andie said several board members needed further discussion regarding the company’s listing, requiring Alice to return to the company for a meeting in the afternoon.

The company’s board meeting was something Alice couldn’t miss, so she apologized for not being able to accompany Mrs. Geoffrey and Christine Quinn in the afternoon, but both of them understood.

During lunch, Alice noticed Christine Quinn frequently checking the time.

Alice, puzzled, couldn’t help but ask Christine Quinn, "Christine, do you have something going on this afternoon?"

"No, no, nothing!"

Alice apologized, "Sorry, I can’t accompany you this afternoon, but I’ll be back as soon as the meeting is over..."

Mrs. Geoffrey said, "Don’t be so formal with us, work is important."

Christine Quinn also echoed thoughtfully, "Yes, work is important."

After lunch, Alice changed clothes to head to the company, unexpectedly, Christine Quinn suddenly stopped her at the villa’s entrance.

Alice asked with a smile, "Christine, what’s up?"

Christine Quinn hesitated, "Well... Alice... um... it’s just..."

Alice grew even more puzzled, "Is there something wrong?"

"No, it’s just that..."

"Just what?"

"Could you wait a bit before going to the company."

"What’s wrong? Christine, has something happened?" With Christine Quinn’s sudden request, Alice was left somewhat bewildered.

"No, it’s nothing, I just want you to go to the company a little later... uh, I just want to chat with you more."

Alice raised her hand to check the time on her wristwatch, smiling, "Alright, there’s still some time, let’s chat more."
