Until this point, Caleb had always believed that, as long as it is impossible between Alina and Chester, then will it not be easier for him to win her back.
Yet now it seems that he was wrong after all.
If it's not even possible between Alina and Chester, then it won't be possible with him either.
Once she showed such hatred, it was basically impossible to leave any trace of it in her world.
Not only is it impossible for her to be with him, but now it is impossible for her to be with Chester, so the current Alina is impossible with the whole Collins family.
"Alina." Thinking of this, the moment Caleb opened his mouth, his world went blank.
There was even that slight panic pain in his heart.
Yes, it hurts.
Ever since Alina left his world, he has been thinking to keep her with him at all times.
But he had never seen her clearly, never really understood her, and now, overnight, it was as if he had seen everything clearly.
And it was this seeing clearly that made his heart, more and more, tighten.
Arriving at Mulherd Manor, Alina pulled open the car door and got off.
Caleb grabbed her wrist, "Remember, don't appear in front of him during the first seven days of her funeral."
Alina fiercely shook off his hand.
These words are now nothing in front of Alina.
Caleb's brain hurt, and the moment Alina stepped away, he said, "I will send Penny back to you."
The words were spoken with such pallor.
And there was no response from Alina.
Perhaps it was her disappointment with the whole Collins family? Once, whatever happened between her and the Collins family, Chester had always been a different presence in her world, and now when problems arose on the side of VIG and Nellie, the entire Collins family, in her mind, has been classified in the same category.
Therefore, she did not believe Caleb's words at all.
...
Caleb left.
Lucy saw Alina returning alone, especially after seeing the chrysanthemum petals in her hair, which were slightly dishevelled to indicate that something had happened at the funeral scene.
"Lady Alina." Lucy went forward worriedly, trying to help Alina fix her hair.
Yet Alina avoided it.
Walking straight towards the sofa and sitting down, she said to Lucy, "Lucy."
"Yes."
"Give me wine."
Lucy, "..."
Wine?
When she heard that Alina wanted to drink, Lucy's spine couldn't help but tighten.
"Lady Alina, that's not good stuff, don't drink, okay?" She didn't dare let Alina touch alcohol.
That thing has a big psychological impact on Lucy as well.
It seems that every time Alina drinks, she must be hiding something big in her heart.
And the more she drank, the more she would sulk inside.
Eventually, those things completely overwhelmed her, and eventually, little by little, drove herself mad.
Lucy did not want Alina to go through that kind of pain.
Yet Alina's entire world was now completely damaged.
"Go get it."
"Lady Alina."
"Go." Alina's tone was full of coldness.
Lucy had no choice but to go get it.
And Alina was now truly annoyed.
