She was tempted to explain when things were going wrong, but no one believed her.
So after a long time, the so-called explanations thus became meaningless, and she did not want to explain so much.
Nellie, "He's actually quite nice to me."
"Nice to you?" Barney looked at her with a gaze that was deeper.
Without waiting for Nellie to speak, Barney stirred the coffee and said, "If he really treated you well, he wouldn't make it so difficult for you."
She was, at the moment, quite difficult.
All of it was a gulf between her and Andre, a gulf she could not find a way across.
"Mr. Brooks, I still have things to do, so see you." With that, Nellie grabbed her bag and turned around, leaving the cafe as if she had fled.
And as Barney watched her back as she fled, his eyes sank.
His special assistant appeared behind him, "Sir."
"Go and find out what's going on between her and Andre."
"Okay."
Be nice to her?
If he was that nice, would she have that look of vicissitude under her eyes after all the years?
...
All the people are now on strict guard in Mulherd Manor, and no news can reach Alina, who is accompanied by Penny.
She was much more relaxed.
She and Chester still have a tense relationship, but she is giving in because of Penny.
She didn't know what Caleb was busy with these days, in any case, she hadn't seen him.
She wanted to go out for a walk.
Downstairs, Penny sat in Chester's arms, "What about after Little Red Riding Hood? Was she just eaten by the big bad wolf?"
Chester was telling Penny a story, and Alina had told her a lot of stories before.
But she didn't think Penny would like Little Red Riding Hood, so she never spoke about it.
But now, listening to Chester tell this story, she didn't think it was quite right.
"No, with her kindness, Little Red Riding Hood took in the Big Bad Wolf."
"But the big bad wolf will eat her, isn't Little Red Riding Hood afraid?"
Hearing this, Alina was sure that this version had been changed by Chester.
Out of the corner of his eye, Chester had actually seen Alina's figure, and the corner of his mouth lifted up in a doting smile.
And then, he said to Penny, "Penny, the Big Bad Wolf is scary, but if he likes Little Red Riding Hood, isn't he not scary anymore?"
"Why?"
"Because the big bad wolf eats people, it's hard to change its nature."
Alina looked at the way Chester's mouth stiffened, clearly having lost to Penny's thinking.
Downstairs.
Penny saw Alina, "Mummy, Mummy, can I tell you about Little Red Riding Hood?"
Alina didn't look at Chester, and the moment she sat down, Penny went straight to her arms, and then told her the Little Red Riding Hood's story.
This version of Little Red Riding Hood had changed again as it came out of Penny's mouth.
Because, in the end, Little Red Riding Hood skinned the Big Bad Wolf.
Chester and Alina subconsciously glanced at each other, Alina looked down at Penny, "Little Red Riding Hood is so fierce."
Penny, "No, she's very kind."
Penny, "But she has to protect herself even if she is kind. The big bad wolf lied to her and tried to eat her."
Chester's face darkened.
She said, and kicked the maid again and again.
The maid was kicked by her stomach, her body bowed like a shrimp on the floor, "Miss Moon, we are not looking down on you."
"How dare you say that, bitch." With that, Annie kicked the maid in the stomach a few more times, and the maid wailed in agony.
Yet even then, Annie was still not happy, and kicked down again and again.
...
Alina, who was walking this way, seemed to hear someone crying and looked on the source of the sound, which seemed to be coming from that building.
This hysterical cry of pain was heard by Chester, and the moment his brow tightened he saw Alina's gaze look over.
"The sun is getting a bit strong, let's go back first."
With that, he went forward to pull Alina's hand, obviously trying to distract Alina's attention.
Alina frowned and avoided it, "Is that building where the medical team lives?"
Chester's heart fluttered at the words.
Obviously he was worried about Alina going over.
And Alina had taken a step at this moment, Chester stopped in front of her, "What are you doing?"
"Something seems to have happened over there, I'm going to check it out." It was the medical team to treat her.
Alina was worried that something dirty might happen.
After all, the bone marrow came so fast that she was suspicious.
She would love to live, but she would never do anything to live.
"You should go back and rest first, I'll just go and check it out." Chester stopped Alina, obviously not letting her go to that building.
Yet it was his blocking in this way that made Alina look at him with suspicion.
"Get out of the way." Alina's tone was icy cold.
