I'm richer than my billionaire ex-husband novel Chapter 408

Vanessa hugged the child, who was very close to her, probably because of the blood relationship.

Penny was probably tired from tossing and turning, so it didn't take long for the child to fall asleep in Alina's arms.

Looking at the child so dependent on her mother, Vanessa felt a pain in her heart.

Alina handed the child to Marry, who hurriedly took the child upstairs, leaving Alina and Vanessa alone.

Vanessa looked at her and said, "Now the matter of Emma is considered to be completely over, right?"

Alina nodded, "Yes, it's over."

When Vanessa heard this, she felt relieved "It's good that it's over, it's good that it's over."

All these years, what was Emma considered in Alina's world? What kind of existence was she in Vanessa's heart?

They hated her and wanted to get rid of her, but there was nothing they could do with her because of Caleb.

"I still don't know, to this day, how much the old man really knew about what happened back then." Vanessa said in a tight tone.

Especially between Alina and Caleb, why did the old man force the arrangement like that?

Even at that time, why exactly did Emma and Caleb get involved together?

The old man didn’t know it right. Otherwise, according to the old man's defensive attitude towards Alina, he would have gotten rid of Emma for sure.

Because he didn't know the root cause, he didn't know exactly where to start. In retrospect, wasn't this the point at which they suffered a loss?

Alina, "It doesn't matter."

It doesn't matter exactly why Max arranged it that way back then, or how much he actually knew.

None of it matters to Alina now.

Vanessa, "Well, it's good that it's all over."

Because it's all over, so now those retrospective moments become less important.

Vanessa looked at Alina and said, "So is it time to go back to Shirling?"

In asking this question, Vanessa's heart lifted up.

The matter with Emma and Caleb is now considered to be completely over.

What about with Chester?

When she thought of the pain her eldest son had endured all those years, Vanessa prayed in her heart again and again that it would all, soon, end.

Is God taking pity on her? Or it feels sorry for Chester? It ended in such a tragic way between Alina and Caleb.

But the good thing is, she is still alive and well.

And the mention of going back to Shirling.

Alina nodded, "I think so, and it's time to go back."

Obviously, the current Alina does not want to remain in Ingford either, and does not want to have any extra trouble here.

"What about Chester?"

In asking this question, Vanessa, who was always serious and elegant, had a few unsteady breaths at the moment.

And Alina felt a warm stream in her heart.

"There's a lot of work over in Shirling that I need to get back to and arrange, and as for Chester, he'll have his plans."

As for what exactly Chester was planning, Alina was not too sure, but Chester had said that he would go back to Shirling with her.

Such words were not spoken by Alina in front of Vanessa, although she had always acted supportive before.

But who knows, when it really comes to this moment, will they really be able to break through their ethical notions and support her and Chester?

When she thought of such a slim future, Alina's heart was aching, and she didn't know why she felt such a sense of heartache.

Even if the battle with Caleb was so tumultuous, she never felt pain like this, but in the matter of Chester, she was really inexplicably flustered.

Vanessa looked at Alina and said testily, "His biggest intention right now is you."
