And when Penny heard Alina say that she would call Chester 'Uncle Chester' from now on, the child looked over at her with momentary disbelief, followed by all aggravation, "Mummy."
"Well, it's dinner later." Alina avoided her resigned gaze, unable to bear looking down.
Any normal mother would want to give her children a full and normal home.
She loved Penny, but there was nothing she could do in the matter of giving her a home.
"Mummy." The child was shrewd, and she had to ask.
The strength of Alina's hug on the child was heavier at this moment, she said, "Mummy will be all you have."
And she would give all her love to this child.
Although it is selfish to think so, there is nothing she can do about Caleb's matter.
...
At the dinner table, Penny ate slowly, and Megan, watching the child not eating much, asked gently, "Penny, is dinner not to your liking?"
"It's delicious, Grandma." Penny responded politely.
Yet anyone, by now, could see that she was unhappy.
Megan subconsciously glanced at Alina, who in turn glanced at Penny, watching the child take small distracted sips.
And she did not feel good inside.
Chester gave hope to Penny.
Yet she could not perpetuate this hope, and since it was bound to be lost sooner or later, it was better not to have it in the first place.
After dinner.
Megan spoke to Alina, "Even though the child is small, she has her own thoughts, don't you think?"
But so what?
Taking a deep breath, she said, "Grandma, between me and the Collins family...", and when she said this, Alina suddenly did not dare to say anything further.
She and the Collins family, at this point, are probably at loggerheads.
It was therefore completely impossible for Penny and Caleb to have a father-daughter relationship with each other, and as for Chester, she was grateful for his affection for her.
And grateful for his kindness to Penny, but because of her relationship with the Collins family, there is actually no way out between them.
"We will probably be at loggerheads." Taking a deep breath, Alina said after all.
That feeling of unease had completely enveloped her and she had sensed it.
Megan sighed, "No matter how you are with the Collins family, but you still have to deal with your relationship with Chester properly."
Megan was watching the two suffered so much back in the day.
Now, how can she endure?
Now, Megan can see that a lot of things started with the previous generation and that's the worst part.
In the mist, it has been revealed little by little.
Alina was silent.
All this time, after clues and hints of these things, the most she did was to be silent, because she didn't know how to respond except to be silent.
It seems that everything is waiting for the result, but in fact she does not know what to do.
...
Vanessa was furious.
The room was a mess of smashing, and when Macie came over, she saw the wreckage.
Vanessa, who was increasingly unable to control her temper during this period, was holding back those rude words at the moment.
Yet her heart was heaving.
"Madam." Macie stepped forward.
