Alina took several deep breaths, but she couldn't suppress the stuffy weight in her heart.
As she turned back to her room, in the dim light, Penny murmured, "Mummy, hug."
Alina's heart softened, and she went forward and took the child in her arms.
"Go to sleep, Mummy is here."
In her ears, the child was breathing evenly, talking in her sleep.
Alina's heart ached for the child even more.
She had wanted to return to Shirling like crazy for half a year, as if whatever was in her world at that time didn't matter.
As long as she could protect the child in her arms, it was fine.
...
Ten minutes later, she showed up in front of Lincol, in her white nightgown.
The car door opened automatically, "Get in."
He was smiling, but his tone carried a strong command.
Alina only felt her brain ache, "Is it fun for you to chase a child's mother all over the world like this?"
"Do you think too highly of yourself?"
"Good, I won't continue working with you." Alina looked at Lincol.
She continued, "I'll give you whatever else you want, but to continue the cooperation, I'm sorry."
"You tricked me." Lincol opened his mouth, his tone cold.
And Alina looked at the man in front of her, the look in her eyes was so arrogant.
At that time on Isha Island, she saw that the grudge between him and Chester was much more serious than what was rumored.
If she hadn't really hated Chester, she probably wouldn't have been able to come back alive this time.
She hated Chester.
But there are people who want to take advantage of her hatred for Chester to make waves, and on this point, she is still sober.
"The Shaw family in Eglinton has a hundred year old foundation, I guess the heir of it is not some kind of villain, right?"
"You think I'm a decent man?"
Lincol looked at her with a stern gaze.
Alina was silent.
Lincol, "Should I go in?"
Alina met his sharp eyes.
Alina was angry, but she finally got into the car, and the moment the door closed, the back of her head was held tightly by the man.
The kisses were pouring down.
Alina raised her hand and crisp slap sounded in the small space.
The smile on the corner of his mouth intensified.
"Miss Hughes, I admire your courage." Danger surrounded her.
Alina glared at him fiercely, but Lincol didn't care in the slightest.
Warm fingertips stroke her delicate jaw.
The crisp breath puffed on her ear, "Do you really think that you were let back because I wanted to work with you against Chester?"
"Heh." Alina sneered soberly.
The next moment, his force tightened, painfully suffocating Alina as warm lips grazed her cold cheek.
He continued, "Miss Hughes, I am now starting to pursue you, if you dare to avoid me, there will be very serious consequences."
Alina was about to push him away without even thinking.
The moment she looked at Lincol, there was an endless hostility under her eyes.
His fingertips tenderly caressed her clear eyes, "I like your eyes."
Alina, "As I said, don't get me involved in this."
