The whole study was cold to the core, with only the sound of men smoking.
Tomas didn't expect Emma to be so bold as to set up Caleb to such an extent, she really deserved to die.
Caleb looked at Tomas, "Have you made arrangements for her?"
Tomas nodded, "It will be a sentence of death."
"I'm not talking about the results." Caleb spoke without suppressing the anger in his tone in the slightest.
It's not the outcome he wants, it's that process.
Tomas instantly understood exactly what Caleb meant by that.
"It's all set."
Emma had made such a big mess and had set him up, so now even if she had to bear the consequences of the death penalty, Caleb would not let her go to her death so easily.
How many people have suffered because of her during this process?
Caleb thought of those eyes of Alina three years ago at Werland Villa, when she looked at him with pupils full of pain.
She wanted to protect her child so badly.
At this moment, deep inside, Caleb's heart was turning upside down.
......
For a full half month, Caleb did not appear to Alina, a rare occasion when he would be so peaceful.
Alina stayed in Ingford for the time being because of Chester, and returned to Mulherd Manor because of the docking of work with Brandon.
However, she did not expect an unprecedented snowfall in Ingford the night she first returned to Mulherd Manor, and the air was cold when she got up in the morning.
Alina pressed the automatic curtains and sat under the covers looking out at the snowy scene, the trees were now almost covered with snow.
Suddenly, Marry knocked on her door.
"Lady Alina, are you up yet?"
"Come in."
For Marry, Alina has always been generous, and Marry came in from outside and looked at Alina.
Alina, "What's wrong?"
Marry, "Master Caleb is here."
Caleb?
The two of them hadn't seen each other since he personally handed Emma over to the police, and she assumed Caleb was like herself.
Both tacitly agreed that this business was over, and that they would never see each other again.
At this moment, when she heard Caleb coming over, Alina's face all sank because of this.
Marry, "He's outside, covered in snow, looks like he's been here a long time."
At the sound of that, Alina stiffened.
Getting up, she took the robe off to one side and wrapped herself up. The snake's poison had a real effect on her body.
The previous Alina would not have been so afraid of the cold.
Or maybe it was the water that injured her body three years ago, and she hadn't recovered too well.
So with this attack of snake venom, she is even more somewhat weakened.
Putting on her warm slippers and coming to the window, she saw Caleb standing outside Mulherd Manor, leaning against the car door.
Cigarette in hand.
His head and shoulders were covered with snow, as Marry had said, he had been a long time coming, and still very thinly dressed.
How can he get by in this weather without a down jacket? And he's actually wearing a. suit.
And what she doesn't know is that coldness in Caleb's body at the moment is not half as cold as the coldness in his heart.
"Marry."
