Above the high stage, under the spotlight.
Her beauty displayed to the fullest, and her tiny size exudes endless confidence.
This is the position that Emma once had her heart set on, she said she had to be the most dazzling position for all the people in her hometown to see.
Let all those who once despised her family take a look at her.
And yet, her dream utterly shattered.
Alina and Chester in the middle of the crowd, and in that glance, in the man's eyes was a myriad of tenderness.
The kind of tenderness that seems to envelop her heart.
When the host asked for that most dazzling design of the night, Caleb just arrived.
Sitting in his wheelchair, the moment he looked at Alina, his eyes were full of fierceness.
Yet Alina's eyes, always on Chester's face, should have been evasive in their relationship, especially on such an occasion.
Alina said, "Actually, I feel that this time there has been a significant improvement."
"..."
"There is one person in particular that I would like to thank for this progress." When she spoke of this person again, Alina's tone trailed off.
She looked to Chester.
At this moment, all the people followed Alina's gaze and when they saw that she was looking at Chester.
In unison, they drew a breath of cold air, no one had expected that Alina would be so unavoidable to Chester at this time.
And Caleb's face had darkened to the core.
He did not expect that Alina would be so unconcerned and even so unapologetic. What was she up to?
The corners of Alina's mouth lifted into a smile amidst everyone's strange gazes.
She said, "I know that there are many friends in the audience who are curious about me, and even about the reports that were made some time ago."
"..."
"I am unlucky. Not everyone has the courage to say this or face this, and neither do I."
At this moment, Caleb's face had darkened, obviously not expecting Alina to mention this matter in front of the whole world.
As she said, many people wouldn't have had the courage to do this, and now, she did.
"But I'm lucky too."
All hearts followed her train of thought as if it were a roller coaster ride.
And then, she said, "Everyone does something which is full of their own feelings, and although I am unfortunate, my in-laws have become my backbone."
So, the Collins family, in fact, has always been on her side in this marriage of Alina?
"They gave me hope and showed me that women can have dreams no matter what time of year."
"..."
"And this piece that you all see you in tonight was designed with my big brother."
Big Brother?
Caleb's big brother.
The piece designed by Alina and Chester was projected on Alina's rear screen.
"The Collins family, before I came to this big show, was on my side, even though a lot had happened to me."
...
Alina was making a deep speech.
And this moment, all her words will be the logical route for her to take on the road ahead.
