Chapter 1289: Chapter 674: Extra: Is It a Wedding Dress, Not a Nun’s Habit? (1 of 2)

"Mm."

Watching Stella Laurence act coquettishly with Claud Laurence, this scene reminded Alice Robinson of her past with Chester Robinson. She smiled, but her bright eyes gradually dimmed.

The rain was pouring down, and Alice stood outside the hotel, somewhat dazed as she looked at the thick rain.

The guests were leaving one after another, and the host of the banquet personally came over and asked, "Miss Robinson, do you not have a car? If not, I can take you back."

Alice shook her head and said, "You don’t need to worry about me... Geoffrey should be coming to pick me up. If he doesn’t, his driver will. I’ll wait for a bit longer."

"Alright... Nonetheless, thank you for your and Mr. Robinson’s generous donation tonight. I thank you on behalf of the children in Africa for tonight’s support."

"No need to thank us. It’s what we should do."

Watching Alice smile from afar with the host of the Basha Charity Banquet, Claud Laurence also smiled slightly.

Stella Laurence sat next to Claud and, seeing him constantly watch Alice, couldn’t help but say, "Uncle, Alice wanted to chat with you, but you used an excuse of something urgent to leave. So why are you waiting here for Alice now?"

Claud didn’t answer, just looked straight at Alice through the blurry rain.

The car’s windshield wipers were sounding, yet the whole world was quiet.

"Uncle, are you still not over Alice?"

Claud still didn’t respond.

Stella continued, "Why don’t we take Alice home..."

Claud finally spoke, "No need. Her fiancé will come to pick her up."

Stella sighed, "I finally understand what love is now. It turns out love can also be simply watching someone else be happy and thus finding happiness oneself..."

At this moment, Claud instructed the driver, "Drive."

The car gradually disappeared into the rain.

While speaking with the host of the banquet, Alice constantly felt a deep gaze watching her, but when she finished her conversation with the host and looked toward the roadside, all she saw was a distant silhouette of a car leaving.

The rain was too heavy for her to see who was inside the car.

Retracting her gaze, she couldn’t help but think about Claud Laurence.

She didn’t expect to unexpectedly encounter him tonight, but luckily, he wasn’t alone and had companionship by his side.

This brought a slight relief to the guilt she felt deep inside for him.

Tonight, regarding her situation with Chester, she lied to him. Not out of concern for her own dignity, but because she didn’t want him worrying about her.

No matter love or not, she and Chester are destined to be intertwined all their lives. Since he has completely distanced himself, let him find his own happiness.

A taxi stopped before her while she was deep in thought.

The driver asked if she wanted to get in the car.

Alice hesitated and took out her phone from her purse for a glance.

There wasn’t a single call from him on her phone.

Her heart was filled with disappointment, tinged with melancholy and helplessness.

Alice bent down to get into the car, but then heard a horn from behind.

Startled, she turned her head to look behind her.

First, she saw his car, then saw him tall and upright stepping out of the car, unmindful of the pouring rain.

She was stunned.

He walked up to her, his handsome face drenched by the rain.

A sense of sadness welled up in her heart.

She had been waiting for him, waiting all along, thinking he wouldn’t come...

Looking at his rain-soaked face, her eyes turned red.

He stared at her unblinkingly, his eyes filled with indescribable deep emotions.

She choked out through the lump in her throat, "Why didn’t you use an umbrella? You’re all wet."

At that moment, he pulled her into his arms.

His embrace was wide enough to cover her entire face. The tight hug nearly left her breathless...

Suddenly, he pulled her away, seizing her lips swift as lightning.

Her lips were cold, yet his were even colder...

When their lips touched, the friction quickly warmed them both...

Her hands naturally hung at her sides, but when he kissed her, she finally couldn’t help herself and tightly hugged him...

He kissed her forcefully, as if finding something precious he’d lost.

She felt her lips were bruised by him, but she still desired this feeling, the domineering invasion by him.

Under the endless rain, they finally embraced each other.

She tightly held him, sobbing in his arms.

He lifted her chin, staring deeply into her eyes, "Are you really willing to leave me?"

Alice shook her head.

He smiled contently, kissed her lips lightly once more, and led her into the car.

As soon as they got in, he covered her with his jacket.

She looked at him, feeling so warm.

He accelerated, and the car sped along the not-so-busy night road.

They didn’t speak the whole way, yet his hand held hers tightly throughout.

Upon returning to the villa, handing the car keys to the servant, they kissed from the first-floor hallway to the second-floor corridor, and further into the room.

Unable to wait...

Their clothes fell to the floor.

His shirt, her dress...

They were like camels parched in the desert, thirsting for water, constantly drawing from each other’s lips...

Once the door closed, he lifted her up, her legs naturally wrapped around his waist.

She wrapped around his neck, leaning down to kiss him.

He carried her step by step towards the bed, their lips never parted...

In the next moment, they fell onto the bed...

Before he could remove his lower garments, she had already pulled him down...

He was above her, kissing her earlobe.

He knew her earlobe was the most sensitive spot on her body, and his technique made her body instantly burn...

She couldn’t help but let out uncontrollable moans...

He kissed from her earlobe to her ear root, then from her ear root down to her neck.
