But now it seemed that it wasn't that simple.
Especially the rumor has it that Lincol was as ruthless as a bandit, but he didn't get close to women.
There were even speculations about him being gay.
But just now, the possessiveness he had towards Alina not only did it show that this man had normal orientation problems, but it was likely that...
When he thought of this, Andre only felt himself choking even more.
"Alina, I know you hate Chester, but you can't..."
"What are you thinking?" Before Andre could finish his words, he was interrupted by Alina, "I won't do that."
And even if she wanted to take revenge on Chester, she had absolutely no need to join forces with Lincol.
Alina was really tired, so she yawned and turned around to go upstairs, but Andre uttered, "Since you have no feeling for him, don't have any dealings with him in the future."
Now Chester already knew all the truth.
And according to those feelings he had for Alina before, he could almost foresee the next scene for Alina.
And if Lincol was involved, the scene would be even more unpleasant to think about.
Andre only felt a brain ache.
"Okay." Alina responded faintly.
Andre was even more shocked she had agreed so soon.
From yesterday to now, Andre could almost feel that Alina seemed to be dead set on everything now that she had gone through so much.
But back then, when she came back from Ingford, she was as heartless about everything, and if she hadn't gotten that her grandmother's death was an accident, she probably wouldn't have set half a step in Ingford again in her life.
Now, she looks the same now as she did then, but her eyes are different.
No one knows what kind of hostility she is holding in her heart, and once it explodes, all will be destroyed.
...
When Alina returned to her room, she saw Penny kneeling on the bed in her cute pajamas rubbing her tearful eyes.
The moment she saw Alina, she held out her hand to her aggressively, "Mummy."
Alina stepped forward and held the child in her arms.
"Mummy, I thought I was dreaming." Having not seen Alina just now, the child was frightened.
Alina tenderly patted the child's back, "Okay, Mummy is here, don't worry, okay?"
"Mummy don't go away, okay?"
"Okay."
At this time, whatever Penny said, Alina agreed, as if she would never leave this child.
And Penny was really happy.
"Alright, time for bed."
Penny nodded obediently, "Okay."
"Want mummy to cuddle me to sleep." As Alina had just tried to put the child down, the child hugged her neck and wouldn't let go.
Alina smiled, "Okay."
She lay down with Penny in her arms, the child resting on her arm.
This seemed to be a habit that Penny had had since she was a child, when her bones were soft, and Alina was afraid that she would be hurt.
Therefore, every time after she fell asleep, Alina would put her down quietly.
The child was particularly obsessed with her arm, and would wake up several times in the middle of the night every day to rest on her arm before she would go back to sleep.
"Why have you opened your eyes again?" The child that had been sleeping with her eyes closed now opened her hazel eyes to look at her.
Those watery eyes made Alina's heart even softer.
The child said softly, "I'm afraid that if I fall asleep, mummy will disappear."
"I won't."
