Chapter 1085 - 562: Extra: I Cannot Choose to Cherish Your Sorrow (2)
Fortunately...The heartache has become numb. Even the cruelest pain, after a sigh, can finally be laughed off.
Alice Robinson’s face showed a faint smile, but the pain was still in her eyes.
Forbidding herself from dwelling on things she shouldn’t be sad about, Alice picked up her phone and dialed Claud Laurence’s number.
The call connected.
"It’s me."
Claud Laurence laughed, "We just parted, why are you calling again?"
Alice’s tone was slightly coquettish, "Don’t you like it when I call you?"
"Of course I do... it proves that you think of me too."
Alice looked slightly bashful, but her words were bold, "Of course I think of you."
"What’s up?"
"Hmm?"
"Did you really call just because you miss me?"
Even through the phone, she couldn’t hide from him; he always saw through everything.
She decided to tell him directly, "I’ve been thinking about our engagement, and I believe it’s a good decision."
"Why didn’t you say so earlier?"
Alice looked up at the sky outside the window, smiling gently, "When we were in Tokyo, I remember you telling me that there might be someone in my heart, like a thorn, that pricks deeper each time I fall for someone, making it more painful... Yes, there is indeed such a person in my heart, he’s like a thorn, piercing me deeply... I never wanted to let go of the past and start anew because I was still living in the illusion of being with him, but recently, that illusion has finally shattered completely. We are now walking on different paths that will never cross again... I tell you this because I hope you understand, I might not be able to forget him one hundred percent right now, but since I’ve agreed to be with you, I won’t allow myself to miss him ever again. From now on, my world will only have you."
She waited for a long time, but Claud Laurence didn’t speak.
"Claud, are you still there?"
"Yes."
"Why aren’t you saying anything?"
Claud hesitated for a moment, then said, "I’m happy."
"Hmm?"
"I thought I’d have to wait a long time to hear these words, but you’ve given me a huge surprise... Alice."
Alice lowered her head, feeling a little guilty, "Sorry..."
"Silly girl, why say that to me?"
Alice’s voice choked a little, "I just feel... meeting you is the luckiest thing in my life."
Claud smiled, "Silly girl... If I don’t bully you now, aren’t you afraid I’ll bully you in the future?"
Alice’s eyes shimmered with tears, "You wouldn’t... You took me to Tokyo. If you bully me, your mom won’t let you off the hook."
Claud felt warmth in his heart again, "So you remember what I said to you in Tokyo."
"Of course I remember... I hope to reminisce about it when we’re old."
"Alice, lift your head and look at me."
"Huh?" Alice instinctively looked up, seeing Claud Laurence through the large floor-to-ceiling window.
She was surprised, standing up with her phone in hand.
He had just gotten out of the car, and even from hundreds of meters away, his gaze met hers without wavering.
She slowly put down the phone, and he smiled slightly.
She turned and ran outside...
The distance of a few hundred meters seemed to be covered with the fastest speed of her life. In the next second, she was already in his arms.
It seemed Claud was already prepared to welcome her, holding her tightly.
His warm breath enveloped her body...
She looked up at him.
In her eyes were bitterness, tangibility, and grievance...
He tenderly wiped away the tears that lingered at the corner of her eyes, then lowered his head and kissed her fiercely.
Her body trembled slightly at the warmth of his cold lips.
His hand around her waist tightened, pulling her closer against him...
Her mind went blank, her hands at a loss... Finally, they slowly rested on him.
His agile lips and tongue invaded, prying open her teeth...
This time, amidst her inexperience, she let him in completely.
His pleasant scent lingered around her nose, and from being initially lost, she wrapped her arms around his neck...
In the heat of the moment, her slender fingers wove deeply into his dark hair.
I am aimless, willful and reckless, I am indeed undeserving of you, but I am not cheap, I am not fallen, and I will not degrade myself to cling to you, even if I have no one to rely on in this life...
The thing I regret the most in this lifetime is not exposing you when I found out you weren’t my real brother. In the future, I won’t be that foolish again, I never will...
A dream that reality brought into the brain jolted Chester Robinson awake.
Beads of sweat had formed on his forehead as he sat up tiredly, "Keith Antony..."
"Here."
Keith Antony, sitting in the seat behind Chester Robinson, immediately stood up and came to Chester, "Boss."
"Get me a glass of water."
"Yes."
As Keith turned to get water, Charlotte Yule, sitting next to Chester, laughed lightly, "See, isn’t it true? Too many guilty deeds lead to nightmares?"
Chester chuckled softly, "Why are you still the same, not a single nice word to say."
"It’s just you, I’m not like this with others... Mainly because it reminds me of when we were in school, and I had a good female friend who liked you so much. She wrote you five hundred and twenty love letters. You kept all the letters, and I thought you had something going on with her. Who knew, when my friend finally confessed to you on the day she sent the 520th letter, you told her you thought those letters were just school flyers, you hadn’t read any, and tossed them all into the trash... Since then, that friend ignored me because I always told her your character was absolutely top-notch, and then..."
