I'm richer than my billionaire ex-husband novel Chapter 487

Chapter 487 Desperately wiping something

At this moment, Stella's eyes were full of bloodlust.
Without the avoidance and heartache of the old days of mentioning those people, the bloodlust of the moment carries an unprecedented sense of unbridled joy.
...
Alina clearly sensed that something was wrong with Chester and Caleb, plus Vanessa's reaction, she felt that there might be something uncomplicated hiding behind this, so she had Andre find out what it was.
Three days later.
Leroy gave her a reply.
"Alina, I think you'd better cross-examine Chester." The tone of Andre was deep.
Alina frowned, "What's wrong?"
Andre, "Tomas and Ronan seem to be trying desperately to wipe something out lately, and although I don't know what it is, I know it's the same thing, that's stopping my investigation."
Alina, "..."
Stopping Andre's investigation?
Erase the clues of the same thing?
So, what is it about?
"They probably don't want anyone to look into it, especially me," said Andre.
Both of them, at the same time, are concealing something, which means that what is behind this is certainly not simple.
Alina, "I know."
Hanging up Andre's phone, her eyes shone with an unprecedented heaviness.
Closing her eyes, it was clear in this moment that she had the urge to retreat again, ever since what happened to Emma, she hated the foggy feeling of knowing that something was going on behind the scenes, but she couldn't see it.
In these days.
Chester was particularly gentle with Penny. When Alina came downstairs, she saw Chester sewing the doll's clothes together with Penny.
His fingers were stiff and clumsy, but he was still working on it because Penny liked it.
"No, no, this can't be sewn crooked." Looking at the stitches in the wrong place, Penny muttered as if she was going to cry.
As soon as Chester saw that she was about to cry, he soothed her gently, "Okay, okay, I'll try, don't cry, okay?"
"Can you really sew it up?"
"Yes."
Alina stood a short distance away and just watched.
It's not that she hadn't seen Chester being gentle before, he was gentle with her in particular, but she had never really seen such a gentle side to Penny.
So at the moment, watching, she was abstracted.
Chester came to her, and took her into his arms.
"I really can't do this job, you do it." Chester had never said anything like that before.
And at this moment, it is surprising that such words were uttered.
Alina looked to Penny.
The doubt in her mind was temporarily dispelled when she saw the bewildered look in Penny's eyes and sat down between the two, "Show me."
This is something that is difficult for Chester, but quite simple for Alina.
The dress is tiny.
It was almost impossible to get started. Although Alina usually spends more time with her sewing machine, such work is still particularly uneasy for her.
The afternoon was spent with them, and the afternoon sun was so beautifully warm as it poured into the windows.
It makes the picture of the three look more beautiful and harmonious.
"Wow, the little dress Mommy sewed is so pretty." Penny couldn't help but sigh as she put the little dress on the doll's body.
Alina's mouth contained a gentle smile, "Do you like it?"
"Yes, Mummy, you have to help me make this doll's clothes."
"Penny, Mummy is very tired." Without waiting for the child to hand Alina the doll and the ruler, Chester took the things.
Although Penny was willful at times, she stopped when she heard that Alina was tired.
"Go and play."
"Okay."
Penny got up, hugged her doll and ran away.
Looking at that back, the tenderness in his eyes could almost spill out.
Alina saw this.
"What are you looking at?" The moment Chester looked down, he saw Alina looking at him.
Alina, "Penny seems to be obedient to you."
"That's how children are, she'll show kindness to whoever is kind to her, don't you think?"
"Is that all?"
"Isn't it?"
"..." Certainly not.
She didn't believe that Caleb hadn't worked hard on it.
But Penny always seemed to reject her.
Vanessa has always been good to Penny as well, but Penny still keeps making a fuss about going back to Shirling, and it's not just a question of whether it's good for her or not.
And the kind of attitude that Penny has towards Chester at the moment was different. As if from the beginning, Penny liked him a lot.
There was something about him that always unconsciously gave her a sense of security.
Probably the only thing that can make a child so happy is a sense of security, right?
"Thinking about something?" Seeing that Alina did not speak, Chester kissed her forehead tenderly.
Alina, "Chester, is there something you're hiding from me?"
As her words fell, Alina clearly saw that Chester's face had a momentary freeze before returning to normal, looking at her with gentle eyes.
Dotingly, he rubbed the top of her soft hair, "What do you think I'm hiding from you?"
"Chester?"
"Didn't we agree? Just be by my side and trust me, don't ask so many questions, okay?"
But how could she act as if she was okay that clearly it had something to do with her?
Alina wanted to say something else, but knew Chester, since that was the answer she was getting here, Chester would not tell her anything.
"Send Penny back to Shirling, okay?" Alina looked at Chester and said.
Chester frowned, "I thought we said to keep her with us?"
Alina, "..."
Such an answer made the feeling that something was wrong in her heart grow stronger even at this moment.
At the dinner table, Chester was significantly more restrained than before, and because of this restraint, it made Alina feel more and more bizarre.
"Why don't you eat?" Chester put the beef she liked into her bowl.
Alina ate absentmindedly, while saying, "Let Penny eat by herself."
It was as if Chester hadn't heard Alina's words, and he was so engrossed in this pleasure of feeding Penny.
Alina, "..."
Now, she really could not eat more.
Until dinner was over, Ronan came and looked at Chester with a face all gloomy.
"Go wait for me in the study." Chester said to Ronan.
And he turned back to Penny and said he would read her a bedtime story in the evening before heading in the direction of the study.
Alina came behind Penny, and she felt that something big was going on.
