At this moment, when Caleb was listening to Alina's words, he heard the indifference in her tone.
However, this was not what he wanted.
The hand that was gripping her was heavier at this moment because of this, "You know that's not what I meant."
"Then, no way." At this moment, Alina refused crisply.
She knew exactly what Caleb wanted, but whatever this man wanted, it was something she could not afford to give.
Caleb asked. "Are you that disgusted with me?"
"..."
"Emma has already paid for this, and in the end I didn't stop it, can't you still forgive me?"
Alina had moved on.
However, Caleb probably never thought that once his own inability to see now is to pay such a price.
Alina forcefully pulled her hand back from his palm.
"You two brothers are not possible to be with me, so just give up."
If he was willing to help her, she would accept it, but if not, it did not matter to Alina.
If Caleb wanted to negotiate with her, in exchange for a future between them.
Then Alina said no.
"Not even possible?" Caleb looked at Alina in disbelief.
Alina gave such a dry and calm result, which shocked Caleb.
Even Chester was impossible?
Caleb had still not come back to his sense.
Alina looked at him, and in every word, her tone was firm, "Impossible."
Caleb's brain went blank, after which he could not seem to hear what Alina said again.
Impossible.
What would such an outcome mean to him? For Caleb, it had a heavy impact.
All those years ago, when it had ended between him and Alina, he had never thought that there would be no more possibilities with her.
In the world of emotions, it seems to be normal to split up and get back together, so why not in Alina's world?
"Alina."
"I value my life and I love my reputation, yet even with such love for myself, I still protected him before."
"..."
"As you can see, I paid the price for that."
At that time, she turned the public opinion around though, but she knew, in that situation, one slip up would have been doom and gloom for her.
She and Chester walked on a knife's edge, dodging one bullet after another.
And yet in the end?
She had learnt her lesson.
"You know, not all choices result in such a bad situation." At this moment, Caleb understood Alina's meaning.
She was actually afraid that she would make another wrong choice.
Alina, "I won't choose."
Caleb, "..."
Looking at Alina, his pupils couldn't help but tighten at this moment.
Alina, "Whether it's bad or not, I don't expect happiness, so it won't be a worse situation either."
She didn't choose.
