From the moment she got off the plane, Alina looked so out of place, Caleb suppressed the panic in his heart and kept telling himself that Alina has always been very shrewd in her head and she has a lot of ideas, so she must be pretending, and there must be some reason for doing so.
She must have had something in mind.
In the car.
When it was just their own people, Caleb asked Alina tentatively, "I think I'm someone you can trust."
"Tell me what you're going to do next."
Now that something so big has happened, according to Alina's previously vengeful character, even if Sienna her sister really did hit her bottom, she wouldn't take it lying down.
It's just about whether Chester is worth her revenge.
He asked it bluntly, but Alina looked at him with blank eyes.
At this moment, that uneasiness in Caleb's heart grew worse.
Even after taking several deep breaths, she couldn't suppress the stifling weight in her heart.
"How long it would probably take to drive back?"
Caleb asked Tomas in front of them, there is a tone of unconcealed annoyance, clearly this is a bad situation for them right now.
Tomas, "It will take about a week."
The plane was just a few hours away, but in Alina's case at the moment, it was clear that he could not take too many risks.
"Don't drive too fast."
Caleb subconsciously said this.
Saying that, he looked at Alina, and did not feel anything wrong.
Tomas nodded, "Yes."
Caleb looked at Alina, who was sitting nicely in her seat, like a child who doesn't cry or make a fuss.
Caleb handed her a bottle of water, "Water?"
Alina looked at her in silence.
The hollowness under those eyes was dissipating little by little.
But instead of the shrewdness he was familiar with, and the divided emotions she used to have, what covered it was as pure as the waters of a small river.
Clean and clear, it seems to see right through to the end.
Caleb unscrewed the cap of the bottle, "Have some water."
He was uncomfortable with all the dry food he ate at the airport just now.
That's what happens when you're away, and conditions are not without hardship.
Alina opened her mouth in a good manner.
Caleb's brain hurt, "You really enjoy yourself."
When Tomas looked at Alina, he found that she did not look like she was faking it in the slightest, after all, she was not a person who was good at hiding her emotions.
Because it took a week to travel.
Such trips were rarely made by Caleb before, and even when he drove somewhere, it was always a maximum of three hours' drive.
Such long hours on the road were never the case, and for people like them, time was money.
They didn't have the time wasting on the road, but now looking at the scenery along the way, it varies.
The visual and emotional impact of the scenery is very different.
A bad mood seems to have been relieved.
"Find a place for lunch with light food."
"Okay."
Tomas nodded his head.
Apparently Caleb was looking after Alina, who had always eaten very lightly, and was worried that she might not feel well on the road.
The car had been travelling for two hours, yet had not yet reached the town.
Alina's face was getting odd.
"What's wrong?"
Caleb could see that something was wrong with her and asked in a warm voice.
She just looked at him in silence and didn't say anything.
Caleb had a heartache, "Can't you speak?"
All this way, either feeding her water or food, did he have to guess at the emotions on her face now?
Alina looked at him accusingly.
Caleb met her teary eyes, "Fine."
