At noon, Chester came back.
Stella left a long time ago, and after Stella went back to the Wills family during this period, she went back to the company and is now busy.
From what Stella said, the wedding is now being prepared by Alfred, and she is just cooperating and has absolutely no time to manage.
The lunch table.
Chester put a piece of beef into Alina's small bowl.
"Take you out for snails tonight?"
"No, I don't like to eat that." Alina said indifferently, compared to those so-called big meals, she prefers the flavours that her mum and dad like, like the snack she had last time.
Thinking back to when she was little, her mother was like a child who hadn't grown up..
Grandma was a very elegant woman and couldn't stand her mother eating those things. She remembered one night when her mother came home from work and wanted to have a snail noodle.
Grandma went out for a walk for an hour and waited for the smell of the house to dissipate before returning.
From that point on, it was clear that Grandma was a very fussy person.
Chester's hands holding the chopsticks all gave a beat, and then he thought of what exactly Alina liked, he said, "Then I'll take you to eat dumplings?"
"Okay."
She loves it.
She loved the dumplings on the ferry, and every time she went there, she asked for a small portion..
Alina smiled.
A smile lifted the corners of the man's mouth.
The one who is suffering the most right now is Caleb. It may seem that Alina has done nothing on her side, but no one knows what she has actually done.
As if, since Emma had gone, she had instead become less anxious after her breakdown.
"Chester."
"Ahem." she continued, "Between you and him, can you not do that because of me?"
Alina didn't even want to mention Caleb's name. .
Chester, "What?"
"This is not good. Besides, I'll get back what's mine, and I'll force Emma out." So, no need for him to make a scene for her, it is so embarrassing.
At the beginning, she didn't think it seemed good to be in such close proximity with Chester alone.
Watching the drama between Chester and Caleb come to such a head, she was really worried..
"Alina, Emma must be found as soon as possible."
"Yes, but I don't want you to get into this mess with your own family, because of me."
Caleb is annoyingly hateful though.
But in the end he was Chester's family.
When Caleb was saying this before, Alina was arrogant and didn't even want to pick up on Caleb, but it's something that's right in front of her.
Chester, "Is it stressful?"
He could see what was really on Alina's mind.
And Alina, at the man's words like this, fell silent.
Stress?
If she really doesn't care about anything, she really won't be stressed out, right?
"I'm not a person without a heart, although I've shown myself to be ruthless this time." Alina took a deep breath and said.
She is not heartless, Vanessa and Chester and Julia are Caleb's family.
But they are really good to her, and she can't let Caleb spill over to them.
Even with all the hatred in her heart, she couldn't.
And her words made the man laugh even more.
"I just love it when you have heart." His tone was gentle and reassuring.
This man was hopeless.
It was originally a very heavy topic, yet in Chester's reaction like this, Alina's heart, however, was quite lighter because of it.
