Chapter 557: Chapter 291: Chester Robinson Can Only Ever Be a Friend 2_2

Rebecca Quentin smiled softly, "Doctor Robinson, I didn’t expect you to have a place like this in T City."

Chester Robinson did not answer, his gaze quietly appraising Rebecca Quentin.

She stood before him, small heart-shaped face, clear eyes, curled lashes, skin as fair as white jade, such delicate beauty, paired with waterfall-like black shiny hair and a simple white chiffon dress, accentuating her pristine elegance.

He had long known her beauty, always able to amaze and take one’s breath away.

Noticing Chester Robinson staring at her, Rebecca Quentin felt a bit embarrassed and asked, "What’s wrong with me? Is something not dressed properly..." she said as she glanced down at herself.

Coming back from his daze, Chester Robinson chuckled and shook his head, "No, you look very beautiful today."

Rebecca Quentin’s face blushed slightly, "Thank you... By the way, where are your other friends? Is the party on the second floor?"

Chester Robinson shook his head calmly.

"Then..."

Chester Robinson gazed at Rebecca Quentin’s beautiful face, and softly spoke, "You’re the only one I invited today."

Rebecca Quentin was momentarily stunned.

Two days ago, after Aunt Clare’s surgery, with Roye’s help, she brought Aunt Clare to T City.

Aunt Clare’s wounds hadn’t healed yet, she still needed to stay in the hospital, but there were no major issues, so in the past two days, whenever she had time after work, she would go to the hospital. As Doctor Robinson worked at a different hospital, she and Chester Robinson hadn’t seen each other much in the past two days, the only time was on the day of their return when they happened to meet at home.

This afternoon, she suddenly received a call from Chester Robinson inviting her to his celebration banquet because he won the Gaeldner Fund International Award.

This is a rare medical award, about a quarter of its recipients may receive the highest Nobel Prize in Medicine.

Rebecca Quentin had never known Chester Robinson’s achievements in medicine were so high; while shocked, she was also happy for him. Upon hearing that Manager Smith was also invited, Rebecca Quentin agreed...

Who would have thought, tonight...

"Come, dance with me."

He took Rebecca Quentin’s hand and walked straight to the center of the hall.

At the center of the hall was a stunning tasseled crystal lamp, its warm light casting a dreamy beautiful scene behind Rebecca Quentin.

Rebecca Quentin barely had time to react before she found herself standing under the crystal lamp with Chester Robinson, as romantic music softly played.

A flustered Rebecca Quentin quickly said, "Doctor Robinson, I..."

Chester Robinson made a "shush" gesture toward Rebecca Quentin, then gently placed his hand on her slender waist.

Rebecca Quentin felt a bit at a loss...

If she had known Chester Robinson didn’t invite anyone else, she would definitely not have come. Before coming, she had confirmed with Manager Smith, saying they’d go home together later, only to find out... Manager Smith was helping Chester Robinson.

Feeling troubled, Rebecca Quentin lightly rested her hand on Chester Robinson’s shoulder.

Her good upbringing prevented her from refusing him at this moment, especially since he had helped her so much as "Doctor Robinson."

The lights dimmed slightly around them, and Rebecca Quentin’s tense body remained passive, her waist held by Chester Robinson, as if frozen, not daring to move, fearing any further contact...

The lights glowed gently, the atmosphere elegant, the music creating a mysterious illusion, Rebecca Quentin kept her head down, not daring to glance at Chester Robinson...

She could feel Chester Robinson’s gaze constantly on her, her heart tense beyond words.

"Becca..."

"Hmm?"

"Do you know why I only invited you?"

Rebecca Quentin shook her head.

Chester Robinson slowly stopped dancing, standing with her under the dim crystal light, it was as if a spotlight shone on them, leaving only the two of them in the world.

Chester Robinson gently lifted a lock of Rebecca Quentin’s long hair, tenderness in his eyes unbelievable, yet at this beautiful moment, Rebecca Quentin suddenly stepped back a few steps, awkwardly saying, "I’m sorry, Doctor Robinson, I can’t..."

She couldn’t allow herself a hint of intimacy with Chester Robinson.

Chester Robinson stood still, his mysterious eyes carrying a tinge of mystery as they examined Rebecca Quentin’s apologetic face, smiling, "You’re so smart, you don’t understand what I mean?"

Rebecca Quentin looked at Chester Robinson with bewilderment. Oh God, could he really mean that kind of feeling towards her?

"From the day I moved next to you to become your neighbor, I hoped every day to stay by your side, buy you breakfast, solve all your worries... When you twice went on business trips to New York, the first time I took you to France, actually to meet my parents, the second time when we met at the Palace Hotel, it wasn’t a coincidence, I learned from Manager Smith about your trip and deliberately booked the room next to yours... During those days in M City, I kept hoping you’d return to T City soon because every day without you was long and dull for me..."

"Doctor Robinson, please stop..." Rebecca Quentin interrupted, slowly walking to Chester Robinson, apologetically saying, "I’m sorry, I didn’t know your help all along was because... it’s my dullness that caused you such misunderstanding, but I truly just see you as a very good friend, I never thought of any other relationship." 𝒻𝘳ℯℯ𝑤ℯ𝒷𝘯ℴ𝓋ℯ𝘭.𝑐ℴ𝑚

Chester Robinson seemed to have already known the answer Rebecca Quentin would give him, showing no signs of hurt or disappointment, gently holding her delicate shoulders, he softly said, "I don’t want to ruin our current friendship, nor do I want to push you to give me an answer today, I just want you to know, while sharing today’s joy with you, I like you, and from today onwards I will formally pursue you, and you will ultimately be my woman!"

Rebecca Quentin lowered her head guiltily, "Doctor Robinson, I’m sorry, you know emotions have always been my weak point, I never thought about being with someone else..."

Chester Robinson half-squinted, his dark eyes examining Rebecca Quentin’s lowered face, "Are you still clinging to Howard Geoffrey?"

Rebecca Quentin honestly replied, "It’s me being so inept at handling emotions... I don’t want to lie to you."

Chester Robinson fell silent.

Afraid of hurting Chester Robinson, Rebecca Quentin quickly added, "Even without this reason, I can’t be with you... not to mention my past, but even my physical condition, you know better than anyone, I’m not meant to be with anyone, you have such good prospects, if you want, there are many women out there who are better and more outstanding than me for you to choose from..."

"When I invited you, I had expected you to say such words of refusal, so you need not feel guilty, nor apologize to me, and under no circumstances should you belittle yourself... no one doesn’t have a past, and no one can never emerge from their past, you still have him in your heart, I don’t mind, and I don’t mind your past, even your physical condition, if truly there’s no hope of recovery, I don’t care, I want you, your purity, kindness, tranquility, beauty, all are what attracts me, and in this life, the only thing I still want to have is you..."
