Alina's body trembled lightly.
Her body was as heavy as if lead had been poured into it, and she could not move from where she stood, "What do you mean?"
What do you mean by the question of who the child belongs? Why should she prepare for it?
"Are you trying to rob the child?" Her world had gone blank as she said the words.
It was as if even her voice could no longer be heard.
Looking at his back, Alina's heart choked hard, he said, "It is now certain that the child is mine."
So what?
So, he's taking Penny away?
Alina's world, instantly collapsed.
Shaking her head, she burst into tears, "No, you can't take the child away."
The moment she opened her mouth, her voice was sobbing and even a distinct shudder, yet his back was so cold.
"Alina Hughes." His tone of voice was heavier.
Hearing such a title made Alina feel even more oxygen deprived. He had never called her by her name in such a way.
It was as if everything that had happened between them before was nothing.
Alina took several deep breaths, but she could not suppress the dull pain in her heart.
"Why don't you go back to Shirling first?"
Back to Shirling?
So now he won't even let her see the child?
In an instant, it was as if something had shattered between them. No, in fact, it had long since shaken.
And this time it was just an opportunity.
"You won't let me see the child?"
He was silent.
The blood in Alina's body was already completely cold, and Chester did not answer her question, but walked inside.
That back looked so cold and firm.
...
Alina didn't know how long she had been standing outside Waterside Villa or when she had returned to Mulherd Manor.
When Lucy saw Alina return in a state of distress, her eyes were full of heartache, "Lady Alina, what's wrong with you?"
Alina slumped on the sofa, having lost her mind.
She didn't seem to hear anything of what Lucy said, completely isolating herself in her world.
Lucy was worried, her phone kept ringing, Lucy reminded her, "Lady Alina, your phone is ringing."
Lucy came closer and called her name, before Alina came back to her senses and looked at Lucy, her pupils lax.
Pulling her phone out of her bag and it was Andre calling, Alina picked it up, "Andre."
"Why haven't you been answering just now? Have you seen Chester?"
Hearing Andre's voice, the chaos of the night seemed to have found a floodgate, suddenly breaking through all of Alina's strength to endure.
Tears were falling from her eyes.
Even across the airwaves, her emotionally unstable sobs could be heard, and Andre was worried about her.
