The corner of Chester's mouth lifted up in a bitter smile.
The car braked sharply and stopped at the side of the road. Alina's body lost weight and crashed in front of her, just when she thought she was going to break her face, Chester's strong, powerful arms got her and without waiting for her to react, she was pulled into an embrace, "You..."
Alina looked up angrily, and a flame of anger that could not be hidden was bubbling in those eyes.
His warm fingers traced her cheek, his pupils in the darkness, overflowing with heavy pain, "How can you be afraid of me?"
Shouldn't she be? As Chester killed on her lips, Alina bit on it, the smell of blood instantly filled each other.
Yet even so, Chester still did not let go of her.
Alina is struggling like mad.
However, even after struggling until she had no more strength, Chester did not let go and eventually Alina went limp in his arms.
Chester's warm breath puffed on her cheek, "Is that your first reaction?"
What? She didn't get it.
Chester, "When you knew about Fiona, you only wanted to take Penny away, didn't you?"
When she heard the name 'Fiona', Alina instantly came to her senses.
The grip on the man's lapels tightened.
"Let go." At this moment of opening her mouth, Alina gritted her teeth, not wanting to talk to Chester any further.
Chester, "Abby, what happened to the Holmes family is not what you know, I can explain."
"No need."
Alina struggled to get out of Chester's arms, and in the dim space, both of them were breathing roughly.
Chester sat back down, lighting a cigarette, "Is that how indifferent you are to me now?"
At these words, Alina laughed coldly.
"Can I be blamed for us getting to this point between us?" Of course she couldn't be blamed for it.
Because of Chester, she now carries a strong sense of wariness of any feelings, of anyone who comes near her.
It is as if every relationship is an uncrossable abyss.
At this moment, a dark sadness grew under Chester's eyes.
"Is it true that no matter what circumstances I did that to you at that time in Ingford, you will never forgive me again?"
"It's never been you that I don't forgive, it's about Penny."
It turns out that when a person is hurt to the core, even the original person in his or her world becomes unimportant.
What she ultimately could not forgive after the shocking pain like that at Ingford at that time was what Chester had done to Penny at that time.
This is the indelible wound in Alina's heart.
Unbelievingly, Chester looked at Alina.
"You mean there's really nothing left between us now except for Penny?"
"What do you want left? You should have known then, after doing what you did, that there would be no future between us."
Earlier, Alina had made it quite clear.
And now, it is even more decisive.
Chester could not suppress the stuffy weight and pain in his heart even after taking several deep breaths.
The air is breathtakingly quiet.
After a long time, Chester finished smoking a cigarette before saying, "The matter of Fiona was set by the previous generation, I will take care of it."
"As I said..."
"Alina, you leave us clean, but I don't allow it."
"..."
"I'm glad you contact me when you got the news about Fiona."
"I do that for..."
"No matter what your reason is, I won't give up." Before Alina could finish her words, she was interrupted by Chester.
Perhaps Alina's words are too sharp now.
