However, Caleb looked at her eyes with mocking, "Heh."
With a cold laugh, he ignored Annie and went straight upstairs.
They were wrong, saying something about Annie was pure. But now to Caleb, Annie, childlike and tender, was poisonous.
When Annie saw that Caleb wasn't even paying attention to her, her face couldn't help but change, obviously not expecting that Chester's younger brother treat her with no respect.
It seems that a wedding between her and Chester is on the agenda.
But thinking of this funeral for Vanessa annoyed her to no end.
In the study.
When Chester saw Caleb, his face was still gloomy, and even unconcealed hostility surfaced on it.
"You are here." The moment he opened his mouth, Chester's tone was full of coldness towards him, and an invisible accusation, clearly pointing fingers that Caleb didn't show up at the funeral today.
Caleb pulled out the chair opposite him and sat down, fished a cigarette out, he said, "Where's Penny?"
He lit up and took a hard puff.
The already icy atmosphere between the two was pushed even further to freezing point in this instant with these words from Caleb.
Chester looked at him with a stern gaze.
Caleb, "You wouldn't let me hurt her before, but I think what you're doing now is even inhuman."
What he once did to Alina, when he looks back on it now, he only feels that his was really inhuman at that time.
But now it seems to him that Chester is inhuman.
"You know, she hasn't been in good spirits, if you keep going like this, she'll have to go crazy." Seeing Chester not say anything, Caleb said as he met his hostility-filled eyes.
His tone was soft, but he was telling the truth.
Penny, who was important in Alina's world, endured so much pain back then when she was pregnant with her child.
So that child was an absolute must-have presence in Alina's world, and now Chester wanted to grab the child.
Chester looked at him with cold eyes, "Is she that important to you?"
"Yes."
Chester, "..."
They confronted each other.
Yes, she is important.
The two looked at each other for a long, long time, and Chester smiled with sarcasm, "If she's really that important, why did you..."
"It's hard to see clearly."
Without waiting for Chester to finish, he was interrupted by Caleb.
The only thing that can be explained at this time is that Caleb at that time never saw clearly his feelings for Alina.
He admitted it.
What about Chester? "You've always seen things more clearly than I do when it comes to your feelings with her, so why are you doing this now?"
In Caleb's view, if her feelings for Alina had been seen clearly enough by himself at that time.
Then what followed between them would not have happened, it all happened, with him looking in the dark.
But Chester is different, he has such deep feelings for Alina.
Why now he changed?
"Before, I thought that as long as it was impossible between you and her, I might have a chance." Seeing Chester not answer, Caleb continued, "But you hurt her so much, and she really felt the pain.."
At the latter words, Caleb paused in his tone.
In the end, he didn't have the courage to continue.
He did not want to see Alina in pain, in fact, he had really let go of her completely before, because he saw that Chester would give her happiness.
