Alice Robinson turned to her side and began quietly watching him as he slept.
She rarely had the chance to observe him so closely like this...
Did he know that they hadn’t actually t through Mrs. Geoffrey a year ago? She had known him since she was sixteen.
It’s just that he might have forgotten...
Back then, he was twenty-eight and already a renowned figure in the business world.
She rembered attending an important banquet with her uncle, though she couldn’t recall its na. He was there too, becoming the center of attention the mont he arrived, surrounded by all the flattering and sycophantic people, like a king being fawned over by his subjects.
She watched him across the crowd, unable to take her eyes off him for even a mont. It was the first ti she understood what it ant to have a girl’s heart fluttering.
The n around discussed his achievents, while the won were all lovestruck...
She always held herself aloof and had never been moved by any man, but upon seeing him, her gaze could no longer pull away from his presence.
Handso appearance, confidence and nobility, a mind superior to others, a business empire to be proud of...
All around him were the top qualities every man wished to possess, and without even trying, people would praise him using these words.
She never knew the world could truly have such a perfect and outstanding man; he was truly like a deity among n...
Later, her uncle took her to greet him...
When she looked at him closely, her heart nervously felt like it would leap out of her chest.
No one would know how her heart was fluttering for him; he rely complinted her uncle with a polite, "She’s very beautiful," but it made her heart feel as sweet as if tasting honey.
After the banquet ended, even though she didn’t see him again, she could clearly recall his pleasing, magnetic voice.
Later, she kept looking for an opportunity to et him, but before she had the chance, he had already announced his marriage...
When she read about his marriage in the newspaper, she felt as if her world had collapsed, and it took her six months to recover from the blow...
Later on, she heard that he had divorced, but there was still a woman with the surna Quinn by his side.
She had always been silently following news about him, hoping the heavens would grant her a chance to et him, and her perseverance paid off; at a charity auction, she t his mother...
She admitted that she had intentionally flattered and tried to get along well, and because of that, she won Mrs. Geoffrey’s favor...
She never imagined that one day, Mrs. Geoffrey would say she wanted to introduce her to him...
She still rembered the excitent at that mont, and to her surprise, after eting him, they started dating.
Even though she knew he seed inexplicably indifferent towards her, she still devoted herself wholeheartedly to their relationship.
Until their wedding was disrupted by the childbirth incident of his ex-wife, she then realized she had been deceiving herself; his heart had always been with his ex-wife...
Recalling all this, she still felt heartache, but she wouldn’t back down because no woman in this world was more suitable for him than she was.
She gently placed a kiss on his forehead, then got up from bed.
When Howard Geoffrey ca out of the room, he saw Alice Robinson carrying a freshly made breakfast out of the kitchen.
Seeing Howard Geoffrey, Alice Robinson smiled as usual, "Good morning."
Howard Geoffrey glanced at Alice Robinson and prepared to leave her apartnt, but she intercepted him just in ti.
"I’ve made breakfast for you; have it before you go!"
"I don’t have the habit of eating breakfast."
"That’s no good, breakfast is the most important al of the day. You work so hard every day; you have to eat!" said Alice Robinson as she pulled Howard Geoffrey straight to the dining table.
Alice Robinson’s cooking was exquisite; the aroma of the breakfast wafted over even before reaching the table.
Alice Robinson seated Howard Geoffrey by the table, "I know you don’t like toast, so I specially made you a Chinese breakfast... This porridge took a long ti to make; it’s good for your stomach. Try it; it must taste great."
Howard Geoffrey glanced at the porridge in front of him.
Alice Robinson sat across from Howard Geoffrey, pleading, "Please try it; I really spent a long ti making this."
Howard Geoffrey finally picked up the spoon and tasted a mouthful.
