"Meet tomorrow?"
"Yes."
"Me and you?" Alina raised her eyebrows.
Under those eyes, there was a meaningful smile.
Obviously, for this strange change in Lois, perhaps Caleb did not notice anything, but she was feeling it clearly.
"Yes." The voice had a bit of bitterness to it.
Alina, "Because of Emma?"
And in this instant, she could almost clearly hear that the breathing was heavier with it.
Sure enough, it was because of Emma.
Without waiting for Lois to speak, Alina uttered, "Say what you have to say directly over the phone."
For, because of these people who were defending Emma, Alina was not in the mood to meet at all, because she felt it was a waste of time.
"You are the person beside her, now for anyone beside her, I actually do not want to see, let alone you."
Alina admitted that once Lois was good to her.
But now it was different.
She seemed to have changed her attitude towards Emma, and if she was speaking up for Emma, then there was no need to see her.
Because no matter who it was now, speaking well for Emma, it would be useless to her.
So why bother meeting and making things difficult for everyone?
Lois, "Miss Hughes, when you were at Werland Villa in the past..."
"Yes, you did take care of me when I was at Werland Villa, but that's what you should do, isn't it?" So much salary was given.
Wasn't that why she was taking care of Werland Villa?
"Miss Hughes..."
"All right, bye."
After saying that, Alina hung up the phone.
In fact, even if she didn't say anything now, she knew exactly what Lois was going to say.
At the time at Werland Villa, she had seen how heartbroken Lois was for Emma.
Now, for her, no matter what kind of affection she had, it was impossible to stop her from finding the truth.
She, for sure, would turn the whole thing over back then and make those who should pay the price, all of them, pay the price.
......
Lois came in after the phone call.
Emma was sitting on the bed, looking at her.
That look made Lois feel a bit seepy.
"Go to sleep." Lois came forward.
Emma, "Did you call her? What did you say? Did she say yes?"
Although, on her lips, she had been reluctant to let Lois go to Alina, because she wanted to retain her last dignity.
But subconsciously, she still hoped that Alina would let her off the hook for the sake of how good Lois had been to her in the past.
At least Alina would not pester her as much as she does now.
"She..." when talking about Alina, Lois was embarrassed.
Looking at Lois' reaction, Emma knew that Alina probably didn't agree.
"See, this is self-defeating."
Thinking about what Alina had said to her over the phone, Lois felt upset in her heart.
Those years Alina's life in the Collins family was actually not good, although now it looked like Vanessa was very protective of Alina.
But in fact, during the time when she and Caleb divorced, Vanessa had not given Alina any good faces.
At that time, she was considered the best person to treat Alina in this Werland Villa.
