Chapter 1163: Chapter 609: Extra Story: Alice Comes to Me of Her Own Accord (Part 1)

Claud Laurence didn’t speak, but the lines of his face tightened slightly.

"I’m not rejecting you because I want to have dinner with him. I just..." Alice Robinson shook her head, looking exhausted, resting her forehead against the chair back, "I just don’t want to deliberately maintain that kind of distance, which makes me feel like... In fact, I’ve really let go."

Claud Laurence reached out and touched the back of Alice Robinson’s head, "Fool, you don’t need to explain to me."

"I don’t want you to misunderstand."

Claud Laurence chuckled softly, "Indeed, if I were your boyfriend, I definitely wouldn’t allow you to go see him."

Alice laughed along, still not forgetting to explain, "There’s really nothing... From the moment I decided to give up, I never thought about going back, besides, he’s doing very well now."

Claud Laurence held Alice’s hand, "Alice..."

Alice was startled, his warm palm enveloped her slightly cold hand.

"Could you give me a chance?" he looked ahead, his handsome face sincere, deeply exhaling.

Alice instinctively wanted to pull her hand back, but Claud Laurence held it tightly.

She was stunned, looking at him.

He seemed to have prepared for a long time in his heart, hoarsely said, "I am not inferior to Chester Robinson, the only thing I lost to him is that he met you first... I still say that, if you are willing to give me a chance, I will definitely bring you unparalleled happiness."

Alice lowered her head, her delicate face filled with sadness in the dim light, "I know your feelings... But a person like me doesn’t deserve someone as perfect and outstanding as you."

"In my heart, the perfect and outstanding person is you." Claud Laurence stopped the car by the roadside, gazing deeply at Alice.

Alice shook her head, meeting Claud Laurence’s affectionate dark eyes, "Claud, from the moment I met you, you’ve always been so good to me. I know you’re sincere with me... But, from the moment I chose to let you back into Chester’s world, I already didn’t deserve your kindness to me, I hurt you, it’s something I’ve always regretted and felt guilty about."

Claud Laurence held Alice’s hand tightly, his face was extraordinarily earnest, "I don’t feel hurt. Instead, I feel that the days you spent by Chester’s side were a chance given to me by fate... Only by returning to his side could you truly understand his feelings for you. In those days together, you understood his feelings for you thoroughly, your disappointment and pain made you learn to give up... If those final days together hadn’t happened, even if I smoothly stepped into the halls of marriage with you before, I think I would never be able to truly remove him from your heart in this lifetime. Then, after we get married, there would definitely be a knot in our hearts, but now, when you’ve completely let him go, with him only existing as a memory in your mind, it’s the best time for me to enter your heart."

Alice looked somewhat dazedly at Claud Laurence.

Claud Laurence gazed deeply at Alice, his voice getting lower and hoarser, "You could just give it a try. I won’t do anything that goes against your wishes. This time, what I’m waiting for is for you to truly love me."

Alice stared blankly at Claud Laurence, still somewhat dazed.

Claud Laurence pulled Alice into his embrace, his voice raspy, "Tonight, I’m going to the United Arab Emirates... I hope you can give me an answer before I leave."

"Claud..."

"Don’t reject me, Alice..."

"No... It’s not that..." Alice’s breath was a bit ragged, "I... I agree, but you... you’re holding me so tight, I can hardly breathe..."

Claud Laurence quickly released Alice, looking at her in disbelief, overjoyed, "What did you say, you said you agreed to me?"

Alice finally caught her breath, looked at Claud Laurence complainingly, "You almost suffocated me."

Claud Laurence tightly grasped Alice’s shoulders, excitedly, "Alice... the words you just said, say it to me again..."

Alice met Claud Laurence’s glistening dark eyes, smiled slightly, "I don’t think my happiness in this life can only be given by Chester. I still yearn for beautiful love, I’m still full of beautiful hopes for the future... So, I hope you can enter my heart, let my life start anew."

"Alice..."

"Hmm..."

Bow down, he deeply captured her lips.

Aunt PA saw Claud Laurence bring her back.

As soon as she came in, Aunt PA came up, "Miss..."

Alice was in a rather good mood, "Aunt PA, you’re still awake?"

Aunt PA looked slyly at the smile on Alice’s face, "Miss, your mood seems quite good tonight..."

Alice elegantly sat on the couch in the hall, patting the spot beside her.

Aunt PA giggled and walked over, sitting down next to Alice, "I saw it was General Laurence who brought you back. I guess it was General Laurence that made you happy tonight, right?"

Alice linked arms with Aunt PA, calmly said, "Aunt PA, I made a decision tonight."

"You agreed to go out with General Laurence?"

Alice nodded.

Aunt PA said excitedly, "Miss, you finally agreed to General Laurence?"

Alice rolled her eyes at Aunt PA, "Why are you so surprised, do I seem like someone who wouldn’t agree to him?"

"Ever since you came back from T City, you’ve been working so hard on your career, not talking much, often staying alone, I thought you were still stuck in that past..."

Alice shook her head, "I don’t talk much and like being alone because I’m busy every day with ’Tench’s’ matters, not because of sadness." After saying that, Alice picked a grape from the fruit plate on the coffee table and put it in her mouth.

Aunt PA said, "Then in this over a year, why haven’t you been willing to give General Laurence a chance in the face of his pursuit?"

Alice held the grape in her mouth, mumbled, "He didn’t confess to me, how am I supposed to give him a chance?"

Aunt PA was taken aback.

Alice spat out the grape seed, smiling, said, "Aunt PA, actually now I’m finally qualified to agree to Claud... When I was still in love with that person, yet deceiving myself by choosing Claud, thinking Claud could make me forget that person, but in fact, that would just indirectly hurt Claud. Now I’ve finally, completely let go of the past and removed that person entirely from my life. In the face of Claud’s pursuit, now I finally have the right to agree to him."

Aunt PA felt a wave of relief after hearing this, tears pricking her eyes, "Miss, hearing you say this, you know how happy I am? Do you know how afraid I was after you returned from T City that you would live in that person’s shadow for the rest of your life..."
