I'm richer than my billionaire ex-husband novel Chapter 457

Chapter 457 Poor Penny

And now what Andre dreaded the most was this pitiful look in Penny's eyes, like a child nobody wanted.
Stretching out his hands, he didn't answer Penny's question directly, but only said dotingly, "Come here, give me a hug."
"Uncle." Penny's tone heaved and she was clearly about to cry again.
Andre thought that Penny was cute as a child, when she couldn't talk, but now she spoke and gave him a headache.
And Andre felt that he couldn't resist for once, "Just spare me, I really don't know."
No, he knows.
He had just learned about it not long ago, but was more than aware of what state Alina was in now.
She needed time, lots and lots of time to come to terms with Penny's existence.
"Does mommy not want me anymore?" Instantly, tears fell from Penny's eyes.
Andre pulled the child into his arms as he kept reassuringly saying, "No, it's that mummy is really busy."
Andre had seen clearly before how much Alina loved this child.
Because of Caleb's cruelty, she doubled her love for this child.
Yet now how was she going to love? She needs time to digest.
Andre knew where Alina was, but dared not say anything to anyone, because if he did, it would only make her suffer more.
She needs to digest the pain bit by bit, in the space of her own.
"Uncle," said Penny, who really couldn't help herself.
Children are already sensitive, and she almost always has her phone watch with her at all times during this period.
At the end of class, she would take the watch and look at it, waiting for a call from Alina.
And before, no matter where Alina went, she would talk to Penny on the phone absolutely every day, and even video at night.
And it's been three months. No news at all for Penny, how could Penny bear it?
The more she missed her mum, the more fearful she was. She was afraid that that her mother will never come back.
"How could she leaves you." Seeing the child crying like this tore his heart out.
Now it's even more heartbreaking.
It was hard to coax the child back.
Seeing the child's eyes red from crying, Megan held and soothed her for a while before handing her over to the maid.
And she then looked seriously at Andre, "Andre, tell me honestly, is something wrong? Is Alina really just busy?"
During this period of time, no matter how much Chester and Andre searched for Alina, they always kept it hidden from Collins Castle.
But it's been three months.
Not to mention Penny's sensitive suspicions, these adults, such as Megan, must have begun to suspect long ago.
Looking at Andre's eyes that were serious, Megan felt her heart was in her throat.
Looking at Andre, she said, "Tell me honestly, what is going on here?" Megan was truly panicked.
It is true that her heart aches for Alina.
After all, after all the pain that had been endured before. It was so hard for her to return to Grandpa, and now that Emma got punished.
Moreover, Chester rarely came during this period of time.
"Did something happen with Master Chester?"
"No."
"What's that?" Sure enough, something was wrong.
Megan only felt blackness in front of his eyes, the old man's health was already not good during this period, if something else happened to Alina, what would he do?
Andre, "Grandma, don't ask, she'll be back sooner or later, you guys don't ask anything, okay?"
Sooner or later, he'll be back?
"Then at least tell me what's going on."
Andre was so upset, he was already being annoyed by Penny, and now he was being forced to ask questions by his grandmother, he was going straight to madness.
Scratching his hair in annoyance, he turned around and walked away.
When Megan saw Andre leave, her heart kept rising and falling. She picked up the phone and called Alina again.
As usual, it's off. What the hell is going on? What is the need to keep the phone switched off at all times?
...
When Andre came out of the house, he saw Chester's car parked not far away. He was already upset, but now he only felt that he had met a demon.
It didn't take much thinking to know just how hard he was now working opposite Chester.
In the car.
Chester lit a cigarette, and then handed the cigarette case to Andre who got into the car and said, "You already know where she is?"
"You are really smart." As he said this, Andre was somewhat unable to suppress the emotion in his tone.
Chester frowned, "You really know?"
There was no answer, and the breath on his body was heavier at the moment.
He knows not only where exactly Alina is now, but also what kind of hurt she is now suffering inside.
Chester, "When did you know that?"
"A week ago."
It's been a week, and the people around Chester see it, so the man who stands at the top of the heap is surrounded by capable people.
Chester's face darkened.
Without waiting for him to speak, Andre continued, "She needs some time right now, I don't think you should go looking for her."
"How is she now?" Chester didn't answer Andre's question.
Since he knew where Alina was, he must know whether she was well or not, and what her current state was.
And in speaking of Alina's state, the breath on Andre's body was heavier at the moment.
Taking a deep breath, he said, "Not so good."
Although it was tempting to relieve Chester.
But no one knows what kind of turmoil is going on in Andre's heart right now, when one knows what Alina is enduring right now.
So why should the people associated with it back then feel good in their hearts?
Although he knew it had nothing to do with Chester. But at that time, he was the one Alina liked, and he loved Alina.
If he had so much power, why didn't he protect her properly?
Only those who really know what pain Alina is suffering will really resent those who were involved back then.
And when Chester heard Andre say that Alina's condition was not considered good, his heart instantly seized.
"Where is she?"
"I said, now you guys, she doesn't want to see any of you." Andre finally couldn't hold back his low roar...
Not a single one.
"Chester, aren't you at fault?" When it was time to say that Alina was hurt, he was not by her side.
So what was Caleb doing when she was married to him?
Andre looked at Chester with angry red eyes, "When you let her marry your brother, did you ever think about what would happen to her once she thought about it?"
Now Alina is suffering not only from the pain of that night, but married to the brother of the man she loves and has a child, and that is a rapist, so how can she stand it?
