When Caleb rushed to the hotel, Andre was walking back and forth alone with his heart depressed, "Whether it's Chester or Lincol, leave it all to me, you stay out of it."
Alina sat on the sofa in silence.
And Andre could understand her, Lincol could trap her in that isolated island for six months, which already showed that he was not a good person.
Although, he was really grateful that he had saved Alina.
Pola saw Caleb, her eyes gestured to look at Andre who was still in intense emotions, Andre turned back and saw Caleb.
The air quieted down.
Alina felt Andre freeze in his tracks and followed his gaze to see Caleb standing in the doorway full of oppression.
At that moment, Andre looked at him with scarlet eyes.
The moment he stepped forward, he was stopped by Andre, "This is not the place for you to come, leave here now."
At the end of the sentence, Andre was pushed by Caleb.
Pola and Tomas subconsciously went forward, however, without waiting for the two people to react, Andre dodged and turned around again, trying to grab Caleb.
And at this time, Caleb had already arrived in front of Alina, hands propped up on the armrest of the single sofa, leaned over, warm breath puffed on Alina's cheek.
Alina looked at the man close at hand, his face full of fatigue, and her heart stiffened violently.
Her mind unconsciously flashed back to that funeral.
When Lincol told her the news of her funeral, what she saw was Caleb standing in the rain, soaked to the skin.
Knowing full well that it was her funeral, but at that moment Alina still felt the sadness in his body.
If there hadn't been those suffocating pasts between them, perhaps then...
However it could not erase the grudge between her and the Collins family.
She, now more than ever, was sensible and sober.
Caleb's cold fingertips traced the contours of her jaw, the temperature on her skin instantly striking deep into her heart, "Alina."
He murmured softly, carrying with depress.
Andre stepped forward, upon hearing the sadness in his tone, he froze.
But it was only an instant before Andre came to his senses.
He stepped forward and grabbed Caleb's arm, "Come out with me."
Caleb didn't move.
And Andre insisted.
Eventually, the two of them came out of the room.
In the corridor of the hotel, Andre wanted to light a cigarette, but finally held back his annoyance when he saw the thick carpet under his feet.
"Chester's here too?"
They was planning to go back to Shirling tomorrow morning, but they didn't expect Caleb and Chester to come so soon.
Caleb's silence confirmed Andre's thoughts.
Andre scratched his hair in annoyance, "You all should leave."
"If, you really want what's best for her, take him with you."
The moment Caleb looked at Andre, his heart ached.
He wanted to say something, but could not say anything at this time.
Andre, "Neither of you are not appropriate to be around her right now."
