Contract Marriage: Abusive Love with Mr.CEO

Chapter 1065 - 550: Extra Story: Good Girl, You Know How to Please Me Now?

Alice Robinson said "Thank you," but then noticed his gaze appraising her.She looked at herself and asked in confusion, "Is there something inappropriate about my outfit?"

He chuckled, "How did you know my favorite color is white?"

Alice was momentarily stunned, unsure of how to explain that she had guessed his preference from an online survey...

She quickly joined in the laughter, "Because white is my favorite color too." It was true that white was her favorite color, although she didn’t like wearing white clothes because it always reminded her of someone.

Becca...

Yes, Becca’s favorite color was white, and she looked truly beautiful when she wore white dresses.

"It’s a pity this outfit doesn’t seem like yours... I prefer you in a casual style, natural and without makeup. I like nature."

She laughed softly, "You might regret seeing me with no makeup... women are afraid of being barefaced."

He smiled and called over a waiter to order.

During the meal, he never mentioned business, and she tactfully avoided the topic too, not wanting to affect his mood, so she went along and chatted leisurely about places to visit in Tokyo.

After finishing their coffee, he said, "Do you know why I like staying at this hotel when I come to Tokyo?"

Alice shook her head.

He looked towards the floor-to-ceiling window on the right, "Go over and have a look."

Alice put down her coffee cup and walked over.

The breathtaking scene beneath her startled Alice...

From the window, every street was a romantic cherry blossom view...

There were no cars on the streets, only pedestrians strolling along roads covered in pink cherry blossoms...

Most of them were couples, either holding hands or embracing, blissfully affectionate...

Watching the cherry blossoms fluttering down from the treetops, she suddenly felt like one of those flowers on a cherry blossom tree...

Having lost its support, it could only drift away with the wind.

Claud Laurence had come over at some point, naturally wrapping his arm around her waist, "People like walking among the cherry blossoms on the streets, but I prefer standing here high above because only from here can I enjoy all the beauty by myself."

Alice flinched, unaccustomed to his touch.

He didn’t mind and released her.

She turned to look at him, "General Laurence, you know I need the money. Can we talk business first?"

Claud Laurence gave a small smile and walked away, not permitting her to continue the topic.

"I studied in Tokyo. The environment here is nice, so I come back every year to rest for a while... Tomorrow, I’ll take you to see some places around Tokyo. I believe you’ll fall in love with Tokyo just like I have."

Alice didn’t say anything more, knowing it was not the right time to bring up business. She had to admit, it was just to ease the awkwardness and tension when he’d held her.

She agreed to go out with him for a day.

The next day, he didn’t bring a driver or assistant, just himself and her.

He drove her to various beautiful locations in Tokyo, explaining the history of each place when they stopped.

It was clear that he really liked this place from his explanations.

Later on, out of curiosity, she asked him, and only then did she learn his mother was originally Japanese.

No wonder he had a special affection for this place.

After spending the whole day out, on the drive back, she sat in the passenger seat and took a deep breath.

Somehow he noticed her deep breath, glanced at her, "You still seem nervous, like you’re scared of me."

Alice didn’t respond verbally, silently acknowledging his observation.

She suddenly found him intimidating, because he always managed to discern her thoughts from subtle actions.

The ability to understand minutiae can lead to great achievements, which must be why he’s so successful now.

"What kind of person is your boyfriend?"

The abrupt change of topic caught Alice off guard.

Realizing, her voice trembled a bit, "Uh, I don’t have a boyfriend."

"I meant your daughter’s father."

His voice was pleasant to listen to, without the slightest pressure when he spoke.

Alice leaned back against the seat, quietly staring ahead, "He went to a very distant place and won’t be coming back."

"I’m sorry, I shouldn’t have brought it up."

"It’s alright, it’s not that he’s no longer in this world; he’s just far away from me." Once so close, yet now so distant.
