I'm richer than my billionaire ex-husband novel Chapter 469

Chapter 469 Pretending to meet

The hotpot, which was delicious, was cooked by Andre himself, and the wine, which was sweet and pleasant, made people crave for another glass.
Alina was drunk.
Slightly inebriated, she pulled Joanna and said with a smile, "Do you know what it was like when Chester first smelled snail noodles?"
"Alina, you're drunk."
"When he passed the shop, he said with a frown, what stinks so bad?"
At the time, she remembered that she couldn't help but laugh when she heard Chester say this, and she said that it was delicious.
Chester said that it was so stinky, how could it be delicious?
"Later, I dragged him to eat that stinky stuff and Caleb was different, he was determined not to go."
"Alina."
"Everyone says I'm cruel, that there was good between him and me, and that even if he ruined me back then, I shouldn't have done that to him."
"Stop it." Andre was drunk, Joanna only felt a headache.
Alina lifted her glass of wine and drained it.
She continued sadly and painfully, "But they don't even know that all that so-called goodness is just him pretending to be good and putting on a show."
"..."
"I am his wife, and he is so good to me that I should go soft on him for saving another woman and letting my guard down in his tenderness?"
"Alina, don't say that, okay?" Joanna wrapped Alina in her arms in distress.
How much did this silly girl have to endure before?
How helpless she must have been at that time?
She had nothing left, her mother and father were gone, her grandmother who loved her most was gone, Caleb, the man who pretended to be nice to her, was her husband to rely on.
This reliance, however, eventually sends her down into hell.
"You're right, even if he dies, he deserves it, you can't be soft on him."
Is Caleb dying?
So, no matter how much evil he has done before, he should be forgiven?
No.
Caleb is a madman, has to be hated.
The inebriated Alina is now basically saying all of them.
She knew those words that others attacked her with.
It's just that she's tired of fighting back.
It seems to have taken all her strength to bring Emma down completely, and now the gossip about whether Caleb is alive or dead is not something she wants to respond to.
"If I hadn't taken Penny away with me back then, Penny would have died too, you know?" Alina said in pain.
This is the so-called husband who gave her all this.
"What's not his fault? It's not his fault that he raped me? That's the biggest mistake he's ever made."
Alina kept muttering, and her consciousness had become increasingly blurred.
And she was right, it was Caleb's fault.
If it hadn't been for Caleb that night, she would still be fine and her life wouldn't be in such turmoil.
All the turmoil is because of Caleb, all the damage and destruction is because of Caleb.
"You're right, he deserves to die, he deserves to die." Joanna listened to Alina's drunken accusations.
And she knew that this was the deepest pain in her heart.
Caleb doesn't know about her relationship with Master Chester? But it's not something he can avoUp so early? Is it hard?" Andre asked with concern as he looked at Alina's not-so-good face.
For a person with a hangover, it is inevitable that it will be difficult.
And with all the drinking he did last night, he delayed quite things, such as Penny.
Alina shook her head, "Let's go back after breakfast."
She seems to enjoy standing in front of the window.
Looking out at the snowy landscape, as if that would settle her mind.
Today, however, Andre knew exactly what she was waiting for, and following her gaze, there was nothing at the bend in the road over there.
Chester has not been seen since he took Macy and Annie away yesterday.
He hadn't even given her a single explanation, even when he knew that Alina was so vulnerable.
Andre stepped forward and heartily took her into his arms, saying lovingly, "It's good to let go."
Let go, and there will be no more hurt.
Alina knew what Andre was talking about and didn't answer the question.
People say that when you can't let go, it's because there isn't enough despair. Chester did not bring Alina any despair.
The letting go of him was due to nothing more than desperation for life.
Too much has happened between them to cross the gulf that has passed between them.
She is now putting down, which is the way out for herself.
...
After breakfast.
Joanna looked at Alina worriedly, after all, she was the one who accompanied Alina during these few months.
So whether Alina was well or not, Joanna knew very well that going back to Shirling at this time would definitely lead to more confrontation.
Especially since Caleb is now on the verge of life.
"Is there really no problem?" She took Alina's hand and asked worriedly.
Alina smiled at him, "I'm fine, don't worry."
But neither Joanna nor Andre could really feel at ease for her.
Neither she nor Andre knew what Chester had said to her.
They only saw Chester grabbing Alina's hand with cold eyes at that time, and Alina seemed quite disappointed when she turned around.
"Be good." Joanna sighed and didn't go on after all.
With Zane in Shirling, whoever does anything to Alina will think twice.
Even if VIG was poured out to protect Alina, Joanna believed in it.
Alina and Andre went away together.
The mountains were snowed in heavily, and the roads had been cleared, so the two made their way out of the mountains smoothly.
"You'll be facing a lot of things this time back, are you really okay with that?"
"Before, I would have faced a lot. That time they blocked my memory from facing the present."
Alina did not continue the latter words, but the general meaning was clear.
If she doesn't face it now, she may face more in the future.
"You're right, it's time to face up to it." Otherwise, it could lead to greater mischief later.
Andre looked at Alina who had fallen silent.
He asked, "What do you think of Chester?"
Since she has to face it, there are no taboos in her world now, so facing everything.
And Alina's heart, for a moment, choked when she was asked about Chester.
