Back to the room, Alina saw Chester come out of the shower.
Alina's brain first buzzed for a moment, and then she asked, "Why are you showering in my room? And your injury..."
Looking at the tourniquet that was wet, Alina's face instantly turned bad.
Chester saw the worry in her eyes.
He raised a doting smile, "Abby, now that we've unraveled many things, do you still want to me to sleep in another room?"
What did he mean? He said it so that Alina's brain had a moment of stuckness.
Chester had already come to her side and took her into his arms, "I've wanted to do this for a long time."
Chester found that Alina just accept soft means but not hard means.
The less he came near her, the more she ran away.
It was hard to coax her to let go of the hard feelings in her heart, Chester didn't want to just lose her again.
"Let go of me."
This was a bit sudden.
Although a lot of things were cleared up, right now, "You go back to your room first, I'll come back later to help you with your wound."
She was direct in her words, and this refusal was very obvious.
Chester's face instantly darkened, he did not expect Alina to reject him so directly.
"Abby." His low voice carried a clear displeasure.
Alina had given in because Sienna had hurt him, allowing him the opportunity to explain and thus take advantage of the situation.
But this did not mean that Alina would immediately accept being with him.
Once a person was too badly hurt, then the defensiveness in their heart was absolutely instinctive.
"Shut up." Alina did not want to say so much to Chester, "Hurry up and go back to your room."
Instantly, his eyes were full of resentment as he looked at Alina.
Alina couldn't stand a bit being stared at by such a look from him.
"I can't accept it a bit for the time being." It was explained clearly, and she knew that he was trying to protect her, but she still felt uncomfortable.
Probably, it was an instinctive fear of feelings after being hurt.
During the time when she was hurt by Chester, she almost swore to heaven that she would never go near a man from the Collins family again.
Now it was explained clearly, but the fear in her heart still didn't dissipate.
Chester looked at Alina and took in all the changes under her eyes.
Naturally, he could see just how obvious, even determined, Alina's resistance was now.
"Okay." In the end, Chester nodded grimly, knowing that they had made a good start between them.
Right now, he couldn't push Alina too much.
If something went wrong if he pushed too hard, it would definitely outweigh the losses.
...
Chester went back to his room.
Alina sat limp on the sofa, her face pale.
When she was hurt by Chester, she once thought she could not see the future, and she still does.
That feeling is still there.
...
Ronan was helping Chester with his wounds, "Ronan."
"Yes, sir."
"She's afraid of me, why?" Things had been made clear, so why was Alina still afraid of him?
Ronan was shocked. He had always followed Chester before, and naturally knew that this love affair between Chester and Alina had been earth-shocking.
"Miss Hughes has a strong nature, and the things you did at that time were all things she couldn't accept, and right now she probably still has fears about her feelings."
Yes, fear.
Although Ronan had never been in love, he was still quite accurate in dissecting the matter of relationships.
Alina had instinctive fear.
"Fear of me?" Chester looked at Ronan in shock.
