The car slowly drove along the bustling streets of Paris.

Outside the car window were the loud noises of large Paris, but inside the car, it was so quiet that even a pin drop could be heard.

She didn’t know when silence became the common language between her and him.

Eventually, Alice moved her lips and slowly opened her mouth, "Well... why are you willing to help the Robinson family?"

"Which matter are you referring to?"

"Winning over my uncle, securing Robinson’s property, and today, helping Robinson discuss business."

Chester snorted and said, "Do you see me as a heartless and unfaithful person?"

Alice slowly turned her head, deeply gazing at his handsome profile.

"No matter what, David Robinson never treated me poorly, preserving David Robinson’s property is a way of repaying his kindness."

So, he still remembers his days with the Robinson...

Her brother was never truly a brutal and cold person.

In his bones, there always was the compassionate heart of a healer.

His indifference to her was because he never cared about her, in fact, he was like this toward anyone he didn’t care about, she just never wanted to believe it.

Alice fell silent and turned to look out the window.

"How is Rachel lately?"

He suddenly asked.

Her body stiffened a bit, somewhat incredulous, suddenly, she turned her head to look at him, "You... what did you just ask me?"

"How is Rachel lately?" he repeated, his voice slightly hoarse.

This was the first time since Rachel was born that he asked her about Rachel...

She was in a daze, stunned, unable to believe it. 𝗳𝚛𝗲𝕖𝕨𝕖𝗯𝚗𝚘𝕧𝕖𝗹.𝗰𝗼𝕞

Was he caring about Rachel?

After a few seconds, Alice snapped back to reality from her thoughts and answered, "She’s good... very obedient and sensible, talking a lot more fluently than before, sometimes a bit mischievous."

Chester nodded lightly, then didn’t say anything further.

Alice’s peripheral vision lingered on Chester’s expressionless handsome face for a long time, until the car suddenly stopped, only then did she come back to awareness.

The car had already stopped in front of the hotel entrance.

The six-star hotel appeared exceptionally luxurious and grand.

The hotel’s attendant came to open the car door for Chester, while Keith drove the car to the parking lot.

Alice never thought Chester would reach out to hold her hand.

In the past, whenever they appeared in public together, he never forgot to hold her out of the car.

This kind of action seemed nothing unusual before, yet at this moment, she hesitated.

He was always so domineering, not waiting for her to make a decision, he had already held her hand.

His palm was as warm as it was in the past.

She naturally couldn’t refuse, so she grabbed his hand, lifted her skirt with one hand, and stepped down from the car.

A crowd of journalists had already gathered in front of the hotel entrance...

She hadn’t appeared in public with him for a long time, somewhat nervous.

Chester held Alice’s hand tightly and headed to the other side of the hotel.

The hotel’s attendant guided them upstairs through the VIP passage.

Following him all the way, she kept her head down, looking at their joined hands.

She didn’t know why, but at this moment, she suddenly recalled the scene of him dancing with Rebecca Quentin under the crystal chandelier...

But at the moment of the dance’s spin, would his hand also hold Rebecca Quentin’s hand, then embrace Rebecca Quentin into his arms?

Thinking of this, Alice suddenly let go of Chester’s hand.

Chester stopped his pace, looked at her, "What’s wrong?"

Alice slightly lowered her head, her long lashes veiling the gloom in her eyes, "I can walk myself."

Chester’s face slightly darkened, but he didn’t show any emotion, continuing toward the hotel.

Alice silently followed behind Chester, taking two deep breaths.

At this moment, she reminded herself internally...

Alice, don’t let healed scars make you forget the pain...

If you keep letting yourself drown like this, you may never be able to escape these memories.

After more than ten years of being together, he only saw you as a pawn, only considered you as something to play with and relieve physical needs whenever he wanted, why do you still entertain those unrealistic fantasies?

Even if it’s hard, even if it hurts, you must always remain proud before him.

Alice didn’t know, as the white Maybach stopped in front of the hotel, a black Bentley followed closely behind.

Claud Laurence sat in the back seat of the black Bentley, taking in the scene of Chester holding Alice’s hand as they stepped out of the car.

"General Laurence, do you want to go up and greet Miss Robinson..." the assistant and bodyguard quickly said.
