Grandma was a very important person to her too, and she couldn't forgive whoever caused that accident.
So, no matter what she did, she was going to find the person.
Stella was gone.
Alina sat on the sofa and Lucy washed the fruit and gave it to Alina, saying, "This is a rare fruit, very few are produced in the harsh climate. Ms. Willlis sent to you.”
Alina picked one up and took a bite, it tasted very good.
"It's delicious, it's the first time I've had this fruit. Next time I go back, I'll make sure to bring it to Grandpa."
But thinking about Stella's gratitude made her feel even worse.
"I just did a small favour, but I got such good fruit." she said,
What Emma had done was more than outrageous, it was unbelievable that she could do something like that.
And Lucy sighed when she said this.
"There are all sorts of people in the world, Lady Alina, don't take it personally."
"No one asks her for anything in return." But she was so ungrateful..
In the evening, Alina went to the Collins family after all.
In a long aqua blue dress, with a matching silk scarf, she looked elegant.
Julia met her and took Alina's hand in hers, "Alina, you're so pretty."
Julia really liked Alina, and even imitated her in many of her outfits.
And every time that style of dress came out, Vanessa liked it and said that's what girls should wear.
Alina's personality was very refined and her parents were teachers, so she always had a very elegant image.
"I saw the gift Dad gave you, it is very nice."
"Uncle Alby is so thoughtful."
"Dad would be upset if he heard what you called him." Julia muttered.
Alina stiffened for a moment.
So there was actually someone else in the Collins family who was thinking of her? Yes, she was here tonight, it proved that they thought of her.
She thought she would have less and less contact with the Collins family after grandfather passed away.
"You are back." At the sight of Alina, Vanessa put down her cup of tea and moved with an air of grace.
Although she still had that cold look, in Alina's mind it could no longer be defined as a dislike of herself.
There was still less time for them to spend together.
During her two-year marriage to Aubrey, she had spent very little time with his family, and now it seemed that people were not to be taken at surface.
"Auntie Vanessa." Alina greeted politely.
Vanessa's face froze for a moment, and there was a flash of disappointment in her eyes, but she was soon relieved.
"Let’s go."
Naturally, she held out her hand to Alina.
Alina, on the other hand, stiffened at the sight of Vanessa's hand.
Finally, placing her hand in hers, Vanessa pulled her towards the inner courtyard and said, "They've come back from abroad with some presents for you, have a look."
She had always said that Mr. Collins had brought her gifts.
