I'm richer than my billionaire ex-husband novel Chapter 470

Chapter 470 Misunderstanding

Taking a deep breath, she said, "It's up to him, I hope he's happy and well."
Even if, in the end, he is with Annie.
She has no strength now to face everything.
And Andre, who heard Alina's words, knew that Chester was the wound in Alina's heart.
The only person she wants to be fine is Chester.
Caleb and Chester are two different extremes in Alina's heart, one is someone she hates and has grown to hate.
And the other one is whom she wanted to live well even if she devoted her life to praying for it.
"In your heart, do you feel guilty about Chester?" Andre asked again.
And this time, Alina was silent, unable to answer to this question.
Yet such silence was known to Andre.
No wonder, after Chester acted like that yesterday, she was so calm.
If she could, she would want Annie to be good to Chester no matter how many people she treated badly, as long as she could be good to him.
She was ashamed of Chester and the one she couldn't face the most was Chester.
So, she wanted him to be well.
...
Macy and Annie were cold and stiff after a day and night of freezing weather.
Macy looked to Ronan prayerfully, "It's been a whole night, can we leave now?"
"What Master Chester means is that you are to stay outside for the full twenty-four hours." Remember well what it's really like to be out in the cold.
Macy didn't expect Chester to be so ruthless.
She was fine with it, but Annie had only recently recovered now, and she was worried that this would be too much for her to handle.
"Ronan, please put in a good word for us." It's not often that Macy goes begging.
Coupled with her position over the years, she would never beg anyone for anything, and now, she had begged Ronan, one of Chester's men.
Ronan had a cold face and only listened to Chester alone, so whatever Chester said, he just carried out as he was told.
Macy was broken by the cold.
They hadn't been wearing much thickness on their bodies, and originally, in front of Chester, Annie was going to show her most beautiful side.
And all the thick clothes she was wearing were now on Annie, and even so, they could not withstand the chill, and she was now too frozen to speak.
At this rate, she would really be frozen to a popsicle.
Chester came out from inside, his suit was covered with a trench coat, which made him even more elegant.
When Macy saw him, she immediately dragged her frozen and numb legs and ran over, "Mr. Collins."
The moment Annie saw Chester, her eyes were filled with tears.
She looked pathetic.
However Chester didn't give her a single look, and it was Macy who grabbed him as the man was about to get into the car.
"Please, don't be so cruel to us." She had only just recovered, and he knew it.
At the moment, Macy is all heart for Annie, she likes him so much.
Chester gave her a stern look, and Macy subconsciously let go of his hand.
His eyes were like those of a bloodthirsty beast.
He turned to get into the car.
And Macy and Annie just watched the rear of his car disappear from sight with twelve hours to go.
That means they have to stand here for the full 24 hours before they can leave. He is really tough.
"Sis, I'm so cold." Annie looked at Macy with difficulty, a pitiful look that was endearing.
Ronan wondered why Chester was punishing them.
But he knew that it must have something to do with Alina, that was the person in his heart, whoever touched her would be suffering.
"Annie." Macy hugged Annie tightly, trying to keep her warm in this way.
But today's weather seemed to be against them, with a snowy wind blowing.
This added frost to their already frozen bodies.
...
When Chester arrived at the cabin, Joanna was the only one left in the place.
And Joanna froze for a moment when she saw Chester coming, "Why are you here?."
"Where's Abby?" Chester didn't answer Joanna's question, but asked while about to go straight upstairs.
Joanna saw him go upstairs and probably knew what he meant.
She said, "You're late, Alina has gone far away."
At the words, the man paused in his steps.
Chester looked at Joanna, the light under his eyes dimmed, "Gone?"
"Yes."
Chester, "Where did she go?"
"Shirling."
In this moment, Chester instantly clenched his hands into fists, his body trembling with something to hide.
Why was there no intention of forcibly taking her back even after finding Alina all this time?
Because, he was very clear about what exactly Alina would have to face once she returned.
She knows it in her heart, doesn't she?
In that case, why go back at this time of year?
Chester turned around and walked towards the door, "How long has she been gone?"
The moment his hand rested on the doorknob, he paused and asked.
Joanna, "Two hours, the roads are bad this way, probably not to the airport yet."
Hearing that Alina had not yet arrived at the airport, Chester pulled open the door and was about to go out, obviously going to chase after Alina.
Joanna said, "You can't change what she decides."
Chester, "..."
He stopped again.
Turning back, he glanced at Joanna.
That glance means so much.
Joanna, "Chester, Alina is very sensitive now, do you know what yesterday meant to her?"
Yesterday?
Yesterday, he was angry that those people had dared to come to her.
Chester was silent.
Joanna, however, continued, "It is you that she is most guilty of, it is you that she is afraid to face, and she wants you to be good."
Hearing that, Chester only felt his heart hurting.
Joanna, "She was in a lot of pain, but even then, she wouldn't forget what had passed between you."
"..."
"We all thought that your world was clean, but yesterday we found out that it's not that way."
It would be nice if it was really clean, so that there would be a lot of things that she wouldn't have to deal with.
But yesterday, they all saw it too.
"She doesn't have the strength to face those right now, so if you can't get things properly sorted out, leave her alone for now."
At the moment Chester turned around, Joanna behind him added sharply.
