Chester felt that Penny was getting back at him.
When he didn't come back, she was upstairs playing with Alina, and when he came back, she took her doll and played with Caleb, totally ignoring him.
"I don't think it looks good like that." Just as the two were having a good time, Chester's unhappy voice interjected.
Penny and Caleb looked to Chester.
Penny's mouth curled up in exasperation, "Nonsense, I match Aisha with the best clothes."
"Yes, yes, yes, you are the best." Caleb felt a surge of pleasure in his heart at Chester's angry look.
He agreed whatever Penny said.
And he was completely unaware that Penny was taking revenge on Chester and he was being implicated in it.
Chester stepped forward and stripped that dress right off.
"Ah, rascal!" Penny exclaimed as Caleb grabbed Chester's hand, "What are you doing?"
He knew that Chester was really pissed off by Penny now, but she was just a child, did he have to do this?
Besides, whose fault was it that the child was such a rebel now?
Chester's gaze was sharp as he looked at Caleb, "Let go."
"Don't break the doll." Caleb was really worried that the doll would be ruined in his hands.
After all, it was only when Penny was happy that Alina's mood would be good.
He was wrong.
He shouldn't underestimate Chester's domineering ways, nor should he piss him off.
He cared for Alina and Penny, and it would do them no good to piss him off like this now.
"Buy it again if it's broken." Chester forced to push Caleb's hand away.
Caleb was worried at his move.
"Alina bought it for the child, don't you dare break it." It could be bought again, but the child didn't like what he bought.
Chester ignored Caleb.
While Caleb called Chester childish, his gaze changed as he matched the doll's clothes.
It was indeed good.
"Wow." Even Penny, who loathed him, had shifted her gaze from her hostility towards him, and looked at the doll in awe.
Chester heard the startled cry and looked over towards Penny, however she instantly reverted to her arrogance.
Chester, "Like it?"
"No."
Why did she exclaim if she didn't like it?
Chester handed the doll to Penny, "I can do more, want to play together?"
Caleb rolled his eyes at Chester. Wanting to make up with Alina through Penny? Childish.
But he did the same.
He worked harder because Penny was not his daughter.
Penny's stance was absolutely firm at first, but she began to waver when Chester said he could do more.
"Take it if you like it."
Penny, "I like this doll, not you, don't daydream."
With that, she proudly took the doll from Chester's hand.
That arrogant look was almost identical to Alina's.
The corners of Chester's mouth lifted up in a smile, completely devoid of the gloom he had just felt.
Caleb frowned at Chester and then at Penny who was already focused into the doll.
The child loved Princess Elsa and Chester bought all the dolls and the hall was piled up with them.
When Ronan and Lucas came over, they were shocked by the sight.
