Caleb's face is getting unpleasant.
When Vanessa looked at him, the seriousness in her eyes was even more intense than with Chester, and even more resentful.
It is clear what kind of presence Caleb has had in the Collins family over the years, and almost anyone would be displeased to see him now.
"Since when do we, the Collins family, use force on girls?" That was a clear reference to Caleb.
Why did she say that?
Because the Collins family knew that Caleb and Alina had remarried.
It was impossible for Alina to voluntarily remarry Caleb, at least not in the present circumstances, given her confidence.
Caleb's face, which was already a bad one, was now even colder.
"What do you mean, mother?" He asked.
Vanessa raised an eyebrow at Caleb.
All these years, they hadn't spoken to each other properly.
Apparently, she also couldn't even accept Caleb's unethical behaviour three years ago.
Vanessa, "Three years ago you used Alina, who was pregnant, to save Emma. How the hell did you get married again?"
"She's my wife, you've forgotten..." Caleb didn't go on to say the rest.
But the discontent in these words is clear.
But more than that, it was depressing.
Repressing the questioning of them.
During these three years, the Collins family almost cut him off because of what happened three years ago, and it was only when Alina came back that he started to return to Collins Castle.
What does it mean now?
She knowS how Chester feels about Alina? And she's not going to let him remarry Alina?
That's how Caleb feels right now. His own family has gone beyond the usual family reaction.
"Caleb, I think you should respect Alina, that's what I mean, any problem?"
"I see that what you want is not for me to respect her, but for her and Chester to be together."
Caleb hadn't digested all the twists and turns at the office, and now his mother was on Chester's side, to Support Alina and Chester ?
Is this the kind of thinking a mother should have?
The atmosphere was already not good, and now there was a sense of impending conflict, and Vanessa's face sank.
The next words are even more blunt and unpleasant.
"When your grandfather wanted you to marry her, I didn't think it was right. Chester is just more responsible than you and can take better care of her than you can."
"......"
"If she had married Chester instead of you, how could that have happened three years ago? And now you have the nerve to shout at me? Think I'm biased?"
"......"
"Hmph." Vanessa grunted outright.
No she has to say that she is not biased in this matter.
She knew what the old Collins meant, it was just the old Cook's wish, and she had no objection to this care.
But Caleb, in her mind, had always been an unreliable son, and what was the old Collins thinking back then?
Caleb's face was already not good, and now his mother's words were so bluntly.
It's not that the family doesn't want him back, it's that he's disappointed in the family, "Don't even think about it."
