The hatred was overwhelming.
When Caleb clearly caught the hatred for him in Alina's eyes, all of his sanity fell apart in this moment.
"Don't you hate me." He released Alina's shackled wrists and placed his broad palms over Alina's eyes.
In the darkness, Alina heard the man's almost helpless voice.
Don't hate him?
However, without waiting for her to speak, the man's original helpless tone turn sinister, "Otherwise, I won't be able to resist plucking out your eyes."
The man's tone was so harsh, as if he could really do something like that.
Alina, "Caleb, you're a madman."
"Yes, I'm mad, you've made me mad."
Was he putting all the blame on her?
What had she done?
Alina had never done anything sorry to Caleb in all the years she had been with him.
And now this man says that she's driving him crazy? What a ridiculous thing to say.
Alina sneered, "I don't think I'm capable of that." Her tone was still very cold.
Doesn't have that kind of ability? She underestimated herself.
Alina, "I'm not that important.”
Every word was a statement of fact.
The tone of her voice was cold.
It was a reminder to Caleb of what had happened to them three years ago, and that she didn't need to say anything about it anymore.
He had heard what she meant.
She was not that important.
Yeah, she was not that important. At least that's what Alina definitely thought, that's how their marriage had started.
So, how could it matter?
If it did matter, Caleb wouldn't have used her to save Emma three years ago at all costs.
"Caleb, all that was between you and her in Ingford was over the bones of your son, have you forgotten that?"
Caleb's mind went blank.
She said, the child was a boy, not breathing when he was born and its face looked so much like his.
He felt stifling pain.
That was all Caleb could feel now, and the hands that had been holding Alina in place were being removed from her face and chin, little by little.
Alina looked indifferently at the dishevelled man.
This moment, Caleb probably also realized what had happened between him and Alina.
"Alina." for a long time, Caleb took a deep breath to say something, but at this moment, nothing could come out.
He didn't even dare to look into her eyes.
For the first time, he realized that what had happened between them was so impossible to face.
Three years ago.
It was so heavy for them.
She wanted to leave immediately, she didn't want to be involved with anyone here anymore.
......
In Collins Castle.
Vanessa laughed when she heard the report about Werland Villa. That's what my daughter-in-law is supposed to be like."
During the day, after hearing Chester’s story about Werland Villa, Vanessa had asked the butler to keep an eye on what was going on at Werland Villa. After all, some of the people at Werland Villa had been transferred from Collins Castle.
So it was easy for them to find out what was going on.
Vanessa was more relieved than ever to learn of Emma's ordeal at Werland Villa today.
It was as if the anger that had been building up in her heart all these years because of Emma had also been relieved.
"Madam, you can be relieved." The butler said respectfully.
Vanessa, "I am relieved, of course." Now that she had heard the news, what was she supposed to do if she wasn't relieved?
Alina had really changed a lot over the years, at least now Vanessa could see that she was not the kind of person who could bully Alina.
"After all these years, Emma deserves to suffer." Vanessa snickered.
Man can be poor, but you can't be poor in ambition.
Just thinking about the desire in Emma's eyes, Vanessa knew that she was a tough nut.
The Collins family would never allow a woman like that into their home, no matter how many tricks she used on Caleb.
But it's not that simple to get married.
She, after all, thought too easily of the son of a great family.
Since they were surrounded by family complications, everything that happens to them will not be simple.
