Contract Marriage: Abusive Love with Mr.CEO-Chapter 427 - 226: They Were Together Last Night 2_2
Rebecca Quentin was suddenly pulled in front of Robinson, feeling very nervous inside, not daring to lift her eyes to look at Robinson.
Robinson carefully examined Rebecca Quentin for a long, long time...
Thinking Robinson had recognized her, Rebecca thought she was doomed.
Unexpectedly, after examining Rebecca Quentin for a long while, Robinson kindly smiled and said, "What a lovely girl, Chester has good taste."
"Of course, the person I choose cannot disappoint you, Uncle!"
Chester Robinson, who had arrived by Rebecca Quentin’s side, naturally embraced her, looking at her with eyes full of affection.
Mrs. Robinson teased Robinson, "Now you can finally be at ease..."
"I’m more anxious than his father, he’s in his thirties now and doesn’t even think about letting his father become a grandfather earlier."
"I will do my best," Chester said, holding Rebecca Quentin even tighter.
Rebecca was very unaccustomed to such intimacy with Chester, but with the situation as it was, she had no choice but to go along with it, keeping a shy smile.
Suddenly, an older gentleman who was even more familiar to Robinson approached Chester.
Yes, it was Chester’s father.
Rebecca had seen him in the wedding video of Howard Geoffrey and Alice Robinson, so she recognized him immediately.
Chester respectfully called out, "Daddy."
Mr. Robinson was now focused on Rebecca Quentin, "Hello, I am David Robinson, Chinese name David Robinson."
"Hello, my name is... um, Rachel, nice to meet you, Uncle." Luckily, Chester had come up with an English name on the spot.
Compared to Robinson, Mr. Robinson appeared a bit more serious, yet his eyes were equally kind.
Mrs. Robinson conveniently added, "Brother, you’re really lucky, Chester’s girlfriend is so beautiful..."
Mr. Robinson finally smiled, "This kid finally doesn’t need to worry me anymore."
"Alright, alright, let’s not stare at Rachel like this, girls are shy, don’t scare away the girlfriend that Chester finally persuaded to come..."
Chester winked at Mrs. Robinson, "Aunt, you really understand people’s feelings."
Mr. Robinson kindly said, "Go take a rest over there, and when you have time, come home with Chester for a meal."
Rebecca awkwardly replied, "Okay."
Chester walked with Rebecca Quentin to a quiet corner of the banquet and found a place to sit down.
To show intimacy, Chester sat down next to Rebecca Quentin, "My family didn’t scare you, did they?"
Rebecca shook her head, "They are all very kind, it’s just that they might take things seriously..."
"No worries, after some time, I’ll tell them we’ve broken up, and they’ll forget about you... But tonight’s performance was successful; we should celebrate." With that, Chester asked the waiter for two glasses of champagne.
Rebecca accepted the champagne and earnestly said, "Doctor Robinson, I actually think you should consider your lifelong matters, after all, you’ve reached the age, and your father and uncle are both very expectant."
Chester teased, "You are also single, why don’t we make the fake act real?"
"What are you saying!"
"Look, you’ve turned pale, don’t worry, I won’t pressure you."
Rebecca was amused by Chester’s words. 𝓯𝓻𝒆𝙚𝒘𝓮𝙗𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝒍.𝙘𝓸𝙢
Chester raised his champagne, "Let’s have a toast!"
"I don’t know how to drink, I’ll just take a small sip!"
"Alright."
Clinking glasses with Chester, Rebecca took a light sip, finding the taste somewhat different from usual, yet still pleasant.
Chester said, "There are some family elders over there I need to greet; you sit here for a bit, I’ll take you back to the hotel after I finish greeting them."
"Okay."
After Chester left, Rebecca sat alone in the unnoticed corner, staring blankly at her champagne on the table.
She didn’t know how much time had passed when she vaguely heard a commotion.
Instinctively, Rebecca looked toward the banquet entrance but saw no one, so she paid no further attention, assuming it was just a famous political or business figure.
However, the commotion grew louder...
Vaguely, she heard someone calling "Mr. Geoffrey."
At first, she thought she was just hearing things, after all, this person couldn’t possibly be here, but when compliments of "Mr. Geoffrey" sounded again in her ear, Rebecca finally turned her head to look once more.
In that glance, she was startled.
Unexpectedly, Alice and he appeared in her sight.
Alice was wearing a pearl white silk evening gown, sleeveless, with a V-neck and floor-length skirt that completely outlined her curvaceous figure, her makeup looked youthful and vibrant, yet not lacking in sexiness and charm.
Then her gaze fixed on Howard Geoffrey.
He wore a black evening suit, appearing elegant and outstanding, exuding confidence and dignity all over.
Their appearance had already become the focus of the entire event...
Rebecca was stunned for a second before she averted her gaze, stood up, and asked the waiter for the location of the restroom, then hurried over.
Entering the restroom, she quickly locked the door, resting her whole body against it.
She never imagined that upon seeing him again, he would be with Alice...
At such a banquet, with so many reporters at the door, and considering their sensitive identities, their high-profile appearance clearly affirmed their relationship to the world...
In the past six months, she hadn’t read any newspapers or magazines, nor had she watched TV news, so she never considered that he and Alice were already together...
Seeing Alice look at him with such deep affection, they should have been together for some time.
Actually, he and Alice have always been a perfect match...
Whether in family background, appearance, they were a complete match, especially as Alice had always been deeply in love with him, if he was with Alice, he would surely have a beautiful future.
She congratulated him on finally beginning his new life...
No wonder the other day when Andrew accidentally dialed her number on his phone, he hung up without a moment’s hesitation.
He didn’t know that when Mrs. Geoffrey told him "your son accidentally dialed out", she was holding her breath...
She was actually a little nervous, she should say there was a sliver of expectation in her heart for his reaction because she hadn’t hung up and he should have known she was on the other end of the line.
However, perhaps only a second passed, in her ear only the sound of the other party hanging up the phone was left...
From that moment, she knew, everything between them was really over...
After seeing him again six months later, maybe a trace of the past feelings that hadn’t fully faded still lingered in her heart, but at this moment, she was so calm.
