Alina put on her bathrobe and straightened herself numbly.
"Make me some porridge." Alina said.
Rarely, she is still in the mood to eat now. Just now, when Lucy came back and saw Alina's appearance, she was really shocked.
But now seeing her as sensible as she is, she is quite relieved.
"I'll go and make it for you right away." After saying that, Lucy went to the kitchen.
In the room, when Alina was left alone, she sat on the dressing table, looking at those marks on her neck, her eyes clear and numb, as if nothing had happened.
Again, it was as if nothing that happened mattered to her.
The phone vibrated and when she looked at the number on it, it was an unknown number.
Alina picked up, "Hello."
"Alina, you vixen." From the other of the phone came Annie with suppressed anger.
Alina raised her eyebrows.
Without waiting for her to speak, Annie shouted angrily, "It's over between you and Chester, so why are you still entangled?"
Her words are constantly sarcastic about the so-called goodness that Alina and Chester once had.
The light under her eyes went dim.
"Does he know you called me?" The invisible sarcasm was returned to Annie.
On the other of the phone, Annie's breath was noticeably ragged.
And then she said fiercely, "No matter what it was like between you and Chester once, I'm his fiancée now."
"Nobody's taking him from you."
"You..."
"So there's no need to flaunt in front of me." Alina hung up the phone at this.
Who would have thought that one day someone would call to question their relationship?
Life is unpredictable and one never knows what tomorrow will bring.
Lucy made porridge for Alina.
At the table, Alina just ate quietly.
When Andre's phone call came in, Alina subconsciously looked at Lucy, who respectfully and silently retreated, and Alina understood why the call came at this time.
She picked up, "Andre."
"How could Chester do this to you?"
Alina pinched her brow, "He's drunk."
"Alina."
"Consider it a dog bite."
Andre, "..." She compared Chester to a dog.
There was no better way to describe what had happened to her last night now than that. Chester clearly had no intention of admitting it.
He will not be responsible.
So Alina, now holding on to this matter, will be nothing but a lowlife in his presence.
However, Andre was extraordinarily heartbroken.
She ensured everything.
Yet who had ever seen the hurt she had suffered in the Collins family? Why would Chester do that to her?
First Caleb, now Chester.
"Bring Penny back and never associate with them again." Andre wanted to say something to comfort Alina.
Yet in the end only this sentence was uttered.
Alina, "Okay."
And at that moment, his force was thus loosened, this was not the first time Alina had hit him, but at this moment, Caleb's heart turned upside down.
Alina closed her eyes, hiding the sadness and embarrassment under her eyes, "Can you leave my business alone?"
Once, when it was time to mind his business, he didn't care, he minded another woman.
And now, wasn't she embarrassed enough?
"I'm so sorry." Caleb heard the embarrassment in Alina's tone as his nerves were being jolted.
Alina took a deep breath.
Without responding, she lifted her steps and was about to head inside.
However, just two steps out, she was grabbed by Caleb, "He will never give you the child at this time."
Alina was here for the child.
But Caleb saw more clearly than anyone else that there was no way the current Chester could give her the child.
Without waiting for Alina to speak, the next moment Caleb said, "If you make a fuss, you probably won't see the child for the rest of your life."
According to Chester's temper, he would definitely do such a thing.
And when Alina heard this, she, who was already having a bad time in her heart, only felt suffocated at the moment.
Caleb, "Go back first, okay?"
"I must take Penny away." She didn't want to stay in Ingford for a moment, so she had to take Penny away today.
Caleb, "I said, leave it to me, I'll send her back to you."
Alina looked at Caleb with mocking, "Leave it to you?"
"Alina!"
"Remember when she was in my belly?" That was the time he almost took Penny's life.
And when Caleb heard Alina's words, his already not-so-good face was now pale.
