As Alina just walked out of the shower, she received a call, "Hello."
"Mummy, it's me."
When Alina heard Penny's voice, her hand holding the phone was stiff.
"Penny."
"Mummy, we are waiting for you at Leaf Cafe." After the child finished, she hung up the phone.
Alina frowned at the window, then looked at the phone that had gone black, went into the checkroom to get dressed.
When she came downstairs, the maids were busy.
Seeing Alina, they respectfully bent over, "Lady Melody."
"Where is Lady Sienna?"
"Lady Sienna was out with Lottie." A maid said respectfully, and Alina nodded, breathing a sigh of relief.
After the conversation with Sienna in the study, she felt that she had a greater sense of how heavy the burden on her shoulders would really be in the future.
She didn't even want to involve Penny in this.
The responsibility that needed to be shouldered in the future was too heavy.
Even if Penny would eventually take the responsibility, but she did not want Penny to carry it at such a young age.
That was why the last time she didn't ask Penny to return to her when she saw Chester, .
Right now Penny was probably more comfortable with Chester.
...
An hour later, Leaf Cafe.
Penny slipped off Chester's arms when she saw Alina, and then ran to Alina.
"Mummy, I miss you so much." At this moment, Penny seemed to have regained her vividness from her previous days in Shirling.
And this was Alina's favorite vividness.
"Penny."
Penny hugged Alina, "Mummy." Alina took her into her arms and allowed her rub against her neck.
When Chester saw the harmonious picture, his heart was more at ease than ever.
"Abby."
He went to pick up Penny, gave the child a look, the child instantly understood, "Mummy, I want to go get a dessert, wait for me."
Alina nodded her head, knowing that this child loved sweets.
But right now, looking at such a harmonious picture between her and Chester, she couldn't help but feel sour in her heart.
It seemed that she had a good time with Chester.
Penny walked away.
When the two of them were left, Chester reached out to take her hand, but it was subconsciously avoided by Alina.
"Abby?"
"Thanks a lot for your caring about Penny." Alina's tone was indifferent.
Chester's outstretched hand froze.
"That's my daughter, too."
"At least in my heart you are not her father." These words were very straightforward, and a flash of hurt passed under Chester's eyes.
He still hurt her after all, therefore explanation would be useless.
Alina saw the sadness under his eyes and subconsciously avoided it. Chester said, "Sit down, Penny will be back soon."
