Chapter 1255: Chapter 656: Extra Story: It’s So Prestigious to Be with You 2

As soon as Rachel landed, she held Alice and Chester’s hands.

Alice and Chester exchanged glances and smiled contently at each other.

Rachel, holding Alice and Chester, arrived at the kindergarten entrance and started searching around.

Due to Alice and Chester’s striking appearances, they immediately attracted a lot of attention.

Alice was still not used to appearing in public with Chester as a couple, so she instinctively lowered her head.

Whether noticing Alice’s unease or not, Chester held Alice closer.

Alice quickly looked up, saw his smiling profile, and felt as if a warm current had surged through her heart.

The feelings of unease and discomfort instantly vanished from her heart thanks to his arm possessively around her waist.

Chester spoke softly, "Rachel, Daddy will stand here and watch you go into kindergarten, okay?"

Rachel shook her head and continued looking around.

Alice wondered what was happening and followed Rachel’s gaze.

Just then, a group of parents chatting happily came over with several children.

Rachel finally moved, tugging Chester’s hand, "Daddy, hold me..."

Even Chester couldn’t guess what little Rachel was thinking, but he lovingly lifted her up.

Rachel wrapped her arms around Chester’s neck, while her big eyes looked towards the approaching children.

One of the little girls noticed Rachel and pulled her mother’s hand to approach Rachel, "Hello, Rachel..."

"Hello, Annie."

As Rachel greeted the little girl, the other children also came over.

Annie was French, with blonde hair and blue eyes. Her naturally curly hair made her especially cute, but she looked at Rachel with a hint of curiosity, "Rachel, who is the person holding you?"

The other children’s gaze also fell on Chester, their youthful eyes filled with confusion.

Rachel smiled and said, "He’s my daddy!"

"Your daddy?"

The children looked at each other, clearly unsure of this surprising information.

Seeing the children’s shocked expressions, Rachel proudly tilted her head and said, with a mix of innocence and calm, "I told you before, my daddy just went far away to work. He didn’t abandon me and Mommy. My daddy is very tall and handsome. Do you believe me now?"

"But my mommy said your mommy was abandoned..." spoke a chubby little boy.

The boy’s mother pulled her son, for she had recognized Chester.

The little boy didn’t understand his mother’s cue, looking at her confusedly, asking, "Mommy..."

Just then, the mother picked him up and bowed apologetically to Alice and Chester, "I’m sorry, kids don’t mean what they say..." She hurriedly carried the boy into the kindergarten.

Watching the boy and his mother’s embarrassed retreat, Rachel giggled.

The remaining children gathered around Chester, looking up at him with admiration in their eyes.

"Rachel, your daddy is really handsome..."

"Yeah, Rachel, I’ve seen your daddy on TV..."

Rachel seemed satisfied with the compliments, holding her head high like a princess.

After watching Rachel enter the kindergarten, Chester turned towards the car, his face cold, "Why didn’t you tell me Rachel was bullied at school?"

Alice hurriedly caught up with Chester and tried to appease him, holding onto his arm, "Why are you so upset? They’re just kids... they don’t understand..."

Chester’s expression remained grim, "If not for adult instigation, kids wouldn’t spread rumors in kindergarten."

Alice lowered her head and muttered softly, "It’s just that my reputation has always been bad."

Chester lifted Alice’s chin, his dark eyes shining with coldness, "You should have told me about this earlier."

Alice looked at Chester with grievance, "Rachel just started kindergarten. One time, a teacher called me saying Rachel got into a fight at school. I was surprised because Rachel is always well-behaved and sensible. Later, I found out it was because kids said Rachel didn’t have a daddy and called me a bad woman. That’s why Rachel fought with her classmates..."

Chester asked coldly, "Was it that little fatty who fought with our daughter?"

Alice nodded.

Chester walked towards the car with a stern face.

Alice only knew Chester was angry that day, but since he didn’t say anything after returning home, she didn’t bring it up again.

A week later, Alice accidentally saw on the news that the French XX Group was being investigated by the police for money laundering...

Alice wasn’t familiar with XX Group, but she took note of this news because XX Group was the company owned by Rachel’s classmate, the little fatty’s father.

On TV, she saw the little fatty’s parents being taken away by the police, unable to hold back her excitement, she rushed to the study...

In the study, Chester was in a video call with subordinates in New York. Alice had to suppress her joy and stood obediently to the side.

From the corner of his eye, Chester saw Alice’s goofy smile, and he slightly curled his lips, saying a few words to his subordinates on the computer before ending the call.

Once Chester finished the meeting, Alice happily went over, "Che..."

"Hmm?"

Chester took Alice’s hand, "What’s up? What’s making you so happy?"

Alice Robinson sat on Chester Robinson’s lap, her sparkling eyes full of joy, "Do you remember Rachel has a classmate called Tommy?"

"Yes."

"His parents’ company is in trouble, facing the risk of bankruptcy."

"Oh?"

Alice furrowed her brow, "Hey... that little fatty bullied your daughter before, why do you seem uninterested?"

Chester wrapped his arms around Alice, speaking lightly, "It’s just a small company, let it collapse then!"

Alice said puzzled, "Chester, I find it really strange, this XX Group always gave off a decent vibe, how could it suddenly be suspected of money laundering?"

Chester smiled without saying a word.

Alice snorted, "However, I don’t sympathize with this family at all... Last time because of the fight between Rachel and Tommy, I went to the kindergarten to reconcile with Tommy’s parents, but unexpectedly Tommy’s parents acted high and mighty, and mocked me and Rachel, saying Rachel was an ill-mannered child..."

Chester listened to Alice talking to herself, his face maintaining a faint smile.

Alice suddenly turned to Chester, weakly asking, "Chester, am I turning bad? Seeing someone’s family fall apart makes me so happy?"

Chester chuckled softly, "You have indeed turned bad."

Alice complained, "Yeah, I am kicking someone when they’re down; it’s a bit wrong, but you don’t know that family, they’re really awful, they always tell their kids that our daughter lacks manners..."

"Alright, don’t get angry, getting angry over these people isn’t worth it."

Alice nodded, snuggling into Chester’s embrace, "I bet Tommy’s parents aren’t good people themselves, otherwise they wouldn’t get involved with money laundering."

"Of course."

"Enough about them, I’m hungry... Chester, what do you want for lunch?"

"Anything you make, I love to eat."

Alice got up from Chester’s lap, smiling sweetly, "Then I’ll make pasta for you."

"Okay."

Alice hummed a song as she left the study room, Chester leaned back in his chair, thinking about Alice’s happy expression earlier, with a smile of deep meaning.

Mrs. Geoffrey and Christine Quinn were taken away by Skyler Jones yesterday, and Aunt PA is on leave today, so the villa at this moment was left with just Alice and Chester.

In the dining room, Alice eagerly looked at Chester, "How is it? Is the pasta I made tasty?"

Chester tried a bite and furrowed his brow.

Alice’s excited gaze instantly dimmed, "Not tasty?"

Chester suddenly smiled, "It’s delicious... it’s the best pasta I’ve ever eaten."

"You tease..."

Seeing the bright smile on her face, he put down his utensils and beckoned her with his finger.

She suspiciously leaned over.

He suddenly kissed her on the cheek, "Thank you, wife."

The word "wife" made Alice’s face flush, she ate the pasta, pretending to be serious, "I haven’t agreed to marry you yet!"

Chester gently pinched Alice’s proudly raised chin, "Who else would dare want you besides me?"

Alice glared at someone, "Do you think no one wants me?"

Chester stared directly at Alice, "The whole world already knows you’re my woman, no one dares to fight with me."

His domineering words made her feel sweet, she also pinched his face, joking, "Look at you being all pleased..."

At this moment, Chester pulled Alice back onto his lap.

Alice sat on his lap, eating pasta, feeling very comfortable.

Seeing him continuously focused on her, she couldn’t help asking, "Aren’t you hungry?"

"Hungry." He watched her with a fiery gaze.

She blushed instantly, pretending not to understand what he said.

He kissed her cheek, "Let’s not go to the company today, stay home with me."

Alice was chewing her food, speaking, "No way, the company has a listing press conference tomorrow, and there are many details to discuss with Uncle Grant today..."

"I’ll let Keith Antony handle it."

Alice ate her food, speaking indistinctly, "No way, I’ve been absent from the company quite often these days, and there are rumors circulating..."

"What rumors?"

"Saying I think of romance when well-fed and comfortable, and even neglecting the company."

Chester humorously moved his hand to Alice’s waist, his lips kissing her neck, "Sounds about right."

Alice pinched Chester’s arm, "It’s all your fault." Every day he would use various excuses to keep her at home with him, ruining her hard-earned reputation as a career woman at the company in an instant.

"Don’t you like it?"

"Don’t ask such questions!" Hearing his blunt question, her face blushed red.

He seriously asked her back, "Then how should I ask instead?"
