Chapter 1291: Chapter 675: Extra Story: It’s a Wedding Dress, Not a Nun’s Habit? (2-2)

"Alice..." He held her close, his body leaning against the headboard, "Do you still think I’m upset with you for blaming Becca?"

Alice slowly lifted her head, meeting his earnest eyes, "Chester, you know? I’ve never been able to comprehend your heart."

"Why do you feel that way, I..."

Alice interrupted Chester, "But tonight, you finally didn’t disappoint me; you let me guess your heart right for once."

"Hmm?"

She smiled and said, "Earlier at the banquet, I ran into Claud..."

Chester squinted his eyes.

"Claud brought his niece to the banquet, the way he dotes on her reminds me of how you used to treat me... I miss the past so much, carefree, chasing after you, dreaming of growing up quickly, getting married to you... Now, I’m finally about to fulfill my wish, soon to be your wife, yet here I am overthinking things."

He lifted her face, "I told you, as long as my heart never lies, one day you’ll know I only love you."

"Brother..." Her eyes suddenly welled up with tears, gazing at him sorrowfully, "The past few days, arguing with you has been so hard, really hard..."

"Me too."

She confessed, "I wanted to leave you, but I couldn’t bear it. I forced you to move out, but after a day without seeing you, I missed you so much..."

He cursed softly, "You have no idea how sleeping in the office overnight left me with aching back pain, and the secretary laughed at me all day."

She chuckled.

He pretended to be stern, "Dare to laugh?"

She stifled her laughter, leaning into his embrace, "I promise you, I won’t throw tantrums like this again."

He rested his chin on her forehead, "As long as you don’t doubt my feelings for you, you can throw any tantrums you want in the future..."

Breathing in his pleasant masculine scent, she closed her eyes, "Tonight, I was really afraid you wouldn’t come to pick me up..."

"How could I not?"

"I was scared you’d let me disappear in the rain, scared you’d leave me, that we’d come to an end..."

"Silly."

She giggled adoringly, "Yet you came, braving the heavy rain, your whole body drenched, your gaze filled with anxiety... I truly thought you wouldn’t come. Knowing your pride, I assumed you’d wait for me to obediently return, because you know I could never let you go..."

"By the time I caught up, you had already gotten into a taxi... I had no choice but to have someone follow you, give both of us some space to calm down, and then come find you."

She shut her eyes, tears slipping from the corners, "You knew so well, even if you didn’t come for me tonight, I’d have surely returned home. Yet you came personally to find me... When I faced you, through your anxious eyes, I saw your panic and fear. Turns out, you too were afraid, afraid I’d leave you because of it..."

"Yes." He gently wiped away her tears, affection overflowing, "Because I care about you, I’ve lost my past confidence; I’m truly scared you’d never come back."

She slowly opened her moist eyes, looking at him, "Does this mean now the person who cares more is you, you love me more than I love you?"

"What do you think?"

She showed a sweet smile, "I think you do; you love me more than I love you."

He felt joy, as if he had returned from hell to heaven, "You’ve finally decided to trust me..."

She nodded, "Let’s never argue again, okay?"

"Alright... As long as you, little jealous pot, don’t get jealous or suspect me without reason, I’ll definitely be a perfect husband."

"Hmm, I trust you."

He hugged her tight, showing a long-lost amused smile, "I love you."

She closed her eyes again, sweetly nestled in his arms.

At this moment, he didn’t know that in her heart she was saying, Brother, you will never know that all my life, I will always love you more than you love me, because I was the one who loved first.

Morning.

Alice drew back the curtains, letting sunlight flood the room.

After the rain, the sun indeed shone extraordinarily bright.

The sky looked as if washed clean, clear and blue.

Alice basked in this beautiful moment when suddenly arms wrapped around her from behind.

His presence surrounded her...

His head rested on her slender shoulder, inhaling her neck’s fragrance, his voice still muddled from sleep, "Why are you awake already?"

"I have to get up to take Rachel to kindergarten!"

"Then I’ll go with you."

"No need, sleep a bit longer, I’ll be back soon."

He half-opened his eyes, showing an ambiguous sparkle, "Will you come back and sleep with me some more?"

She squeezed his arm, shyly, "Stop it, I need to change my clothes."

"No..."

He held her tightly, unwilling to let go.

She smiled helplessly, pushed him gently onto the bed. "You sleep a bit more; later you’ve got to go to the office."

Alice changed and came out of the walk-in closet, unexpectedly Chester had also freshened up, currently buttoning his shirt.

Alice went over, "Why are you up?"

Chester simply encircled Alice’s slim waist, "I said I’d go with you."

Alice tapped Chester’s arm, "No need, you have to go to the office later, sleep a bit longer!"

"Not going to the office today."

"Not going?"

Chester curved his lips, giving a meaningful smile.

Alice mumbled, "Alright then, our daughter suspected something wrong between us yesterday, it’s perfect to take her to kindergarten together today to dispel her doubts."

Chester nodded, lowered his head, and pecked Alice on the cheek.

Alice looked sweetly at Chester, his freshly shaved stubble made him look invigorated, and his white shirt accentuated his distinguished demeanor.

"Why look at me like that?"

"Because you’re so handsome!"

He chuckled softly, wanting to kiss her.

She immediately stepped back, bashfully, "Stop that, if we don’t take Rachel to kindergarten she’ll be late." Then she walked to the closet, picked a tie for him.
