Caleb is in AIG, although the whole company is now under Alinaan's name, because Alinaan has never let the management company come over to take over, he is still here for the time being.
Chester said that nowadays Caleb has nothing under his name.
Last time, after knowing all those things back then, he even gave all his money to Alina as compensation.
It's just that Alina has never been fond of these things.
Seeing Alina coming, the corners of the man's mouth lifted in a bitter smile as he glanced at the ice-cold Chester, before turning his gaze back to Alina.
He uttered, "Let's talk alone."
"I have nothing to talk to you about." Alina clenched her hands into fists.
The nails, cutting through her palm, were as if they were scratching at Caleb's face, and she herself could not feel the slightest pain.
The two looked at each other, and Alina looked at him as if she were looking at an enemy.
Caleb, "But I want to talk to you."
His voice was very soft.
There was a time when he would almost be hysterical every time he faced Alina, yet now all that was left was silence.
Alina's breath has become unstable.
"Why do you have to be do this?"
He had, once, asked her such a question, just for the time when Emma hurt Alina.
He asked why she had to make things so bad.
"Abby, go out." Chester looked dangerously at Caleb like a beast, and as long as Alina went out, another battle between him and Caleb is inevitable.
Yet Alina did not want to see Chester go into such a situation between him and Caleb again and again for her sake.
With effort, she suppressed the anger in her heart.
Looking to Chester, she opened her mouth, "You wait for me outside."
"Abby." The man's tone was heavier.
Alina, "Go."
Her voice was still soft.
Light and reassuring.
Chester did not want to go out, but in the end he did.
In the office, when there were only two people left.
Alina, "Why did you take the child away?"
"Don't marry him." The two spoke in unison.
Alina looked at the man at this moment, like wolf, dangerous in the extreme.
Alina didn't answer the man's question directly, but only stoically asked, "Where's the child?"
Now, between them, even if the results of the child are still pending, it seems as if there is nothing else to talk about except the issue of the child.
Even though Caleb was acting calm, his breathing was heavier at the moment, "Why didn't you tell me?"
All the calmness in his tone was shattered the moment he opened his mouth.
The unsteadiness of that breath was audible.
Alina, "Told you what? And then have Emma go through all the trouble of pretending to be sick again, and you believe it like a fool, and then save her with your daughter?"
That's harsh.
Caleb looked at Alina with a complex look in his eyes.
What, exactly, had driven her to this state? There was a time when such vulgar words would never have come out of her mouth.
