Chapter 1010: Chapter 519: Extra Story: Don’t Ask Mommy Who ‘Daddy’ Is_3

Alice lowered her head and smiled slightly, "Aunt PA, I can’t rely on my brother anymore in the future."

The servant asked confusedly, "Why?"

Alice shook her head and said nothing.

The servant continued, "Miss, I really can’t understand Mr. Chester... Ever since the master died, he rarely comes home. He clearly knows he’s the one in charge of the family, yet he ignores family matters, leaving such a huge burden of the family business on you alone. That’s fine, but even with such major issues as the inheritance disputes, he still doesn’t care... does he have any feelings for this family at all?"

He has never had any feelings for this family, or even for the people in it.

Alice certainly didn’t say those words out loud, she only thought about it in her heart.

"Aunt PA, please stop... I’ve grown up, I’m already a mother of a two-year-old, and I’ve learned to handle problems maturely."

"Miss, should I call Mr. Chester?"

"Don’t!!" Alice reacted with some agitation, "Don’t call him, I can handle the issues at hand."

"But..."

"Aunt PA..."

Unable to resist Alice’s insistence, and not daring to defy Alice’s orders, the servant finally nodded, "Alright, I won’t call."

Alice flashed a slight smile at the servant, "Trust me."

The servant sighed lightly, "Just make sure to take care of yourself, don’t strain too much."

"I will."

"Hmm."

"Aunt PA, I’m going upstairs now."

"Okay, I’ll make you something to eat."

"Thank you."

Returning to her room, Alice set down the coat she had taken off and hurried over to a cradle in the room.

Her daughter, Rachel, was already two years old, well-behaved and sweet, yet she had a bad habit – at two years old, she still wanted to sleep in a cradle.

She herself was a mother accustomed to spoiling her child, so even though the child was this big and still wanted to sleep in the cradle, she just went along with it...

Thus, every night she would rock the cradle, talk to her child, watch her sleep. Only at that time, she didn’t feel lonely, her heart was full of happiness and satisfaction.

Lately, due to the inheritance disputes, she had less time to spend with her child, and she often felt guilty inside.

Right now, looking at the adorable sleeping face of her little sweetheart, Alice couldn’t help but plant a kiss on her little one’s chubby cheek.

She especially loved her daughter, grateful to heaven for bringing such a beautiful and lovely little sweetheart into her life... She hoped her daughter would be as beloved by all as a little princess, just like she was during her own childhood.

After watching her daughter’s sweet sleeping face by the cradle for a long time, Alice finally got up to take a bath.

Flowery Kingdom, T City.

On the terrace, Chester sat alone, sipping on brandy that wasn’t too strong, quietly watching the sparkling city nightscape of T City.

Compared to big cities like New York and Paris, with their romantic and world-renowned nightscapes, T City’s night view was just so-so, but Chester had a unique attachment to T City. When pondering things, he always liked to sit alone in a place where he could feel the wind, quietly thinking.

Keith Antony appeared behind Chester at some unknown point, "Boss."

Chester had noticed, he set down the glass and his voice was slightly light, "What brings you here?"

"I have something to discuss with you," Keith Antony replied.

"Sit down and have a drink with me first!" Chester poured a drink for Keith Antony.

Keith Antony sat down and took the glass.

Chester clinked glasses with Keith Antony, downed his drink in one gulp, then asked, "What is it?"

Keith Antony gently set down his glass, straightened up, and spoke with a hint of caution, "Miss Alice hasn’t been doing well lately."
