Annie had come to Shirling, and when Chester knew she was coming, his face instantly clouded over.
He looked sharply at Ronan.
It was obvious that he was blaming him for not handling things well this time.
"She has been reluctant to leave." Ronan explained.
Chester narrowed his eyes, "So you just let her come to Shirling?"
At this, Ronan realized that mission about a woman was not easy to accomplish.
Because, they would cry or make a scene.
What Chester didn't know was that now Ronan didn't want to get entangled with the woman's matter again, thought he had to go to North Eglinton.
Chester saw that Ronan's attitude was not right.
The next moment Ronan said, "I want to go to North Eglinton."
Chester and Lucas looked at each other, and at this moment, Chester had a soulful torture for Lucas in his gaze.
With just a glance, Lucas averted his gaze, clearly not wanting to have any involvement in this matter.
...
Alina still went to pick up her child at noon.
However, at the entrance of the school, she surprisingly saw Annie, and at that moment, her face instantly gloomed.
When Annie saw her, she stepped forward, yet without waiting for her to speak, Alina warned her, "If you dare to make a scene here, I'll definitely get you killed."
At this moment, Alina was full of hostility and did not look like she was joking.
Annie originally wanted to slap her, but now she was forced back by Alina's hostile eyes.
She gritted her teeth and looked at Alina, her body trembling with rage.
As long as she thought of Chester standing outside Collins Castle all night last night and getting soaked to the skin, she couldn't stop her heart from aching.
She felt even more that Alina was a demon, a demon that specializes in eating people's hearts.
Seeing the way Annie was so angry that she couldn't speak, Alina coldly spat out, "Get the hell out of my way."
"Alina!" Annie was not exactly coward, and now that she was threatened by Alina, she was even more furious in this instant.
She stepped forward and wanted to say something similarly threatening to Alina.
However, the moment she stepped forward, she clearly felt something sharp against her abdomen, as if she would be stabbed in if she took another step forward.
Looking down, she saw the bright knife.
Instantly, Annie's pupils tightened, "Alina, you... you..."
"I said, go away, and..." In Alina's tone was killing intent.
She was smiling, and the people looked at them as if they were looking at two sisters who were talking intimately.
Yet who would have known that in this darkness, there was such hostility flickering.
Alina clearly felt Annie's trembling, She uttered sinisterly, "If you dare to come here again, it won't be as simple as a threat."
A threat?
Even a simple threat was now frightening enough, and Annie clearly felt it.
"Oh, don't you know that she's a very competent stepmother?" Alina bit hard the word stepmother.
Alina had already hung up the phone.
At this time, Annie's phone call came in, Chester was full of hostility, picked up, but, before he could say anything, Annie cried out first, "Chester."
Chester's eyes narrowed.
However, Annie didn't seem to care what his attitude was right now, she only said, "I'm hurt."
"How did you get hurt?" Chester's tone at this moment was all about hostility.
At this moment, Annie heard it, and first froze before choking up even more.
Sobbing, she said to him, "I know you are busy and want to take care of Penny, and the child is not eating or sleeping well at school, so I want to pick her up for dinner, but..."
Annie did not continue, but waited for Chester to ask.
However, Chester did not ask anything.
She could only continue, "But I met Alina, she..."
Now Annie was silent again, thinking that at this point, Chester would actually ask a question about what Alina had done.
But in the end, she was still disappointed, Chester didn't say anything.
Annie could only say stiffly, "My wound hurts."
This was a reminder to Chester that she had been injured when she was in Ingford earlier.
And she got injured for his sake.
