Alina closed her eyes, listening to his heavy, painful breathing on the phone, her heart seemed to have been torn open in a big, bloody gash that hurt so much that she was equally suffocated.
Chester was waiting for her response.
Yet at this moment, listening to the somberness in his tone, she dared not even respond.
Eventually, she silently hung up the phone.
…
Chester heard the ‘beep’ hanging up sound coming from the phone, and in the dim space, those eyes were so sharp.
As his phone had just been disconnected, his phone vibrated, he thought it was Alina, and those originally sharp eyes instantly had light in them.
However when seeing the number on it, his eyes became dim.
It was Vanessa calling, and Chester hung up without thinking, but the next moment, the call came in again with persistence.
Eventually, Chester picked up, “Hello.”
It was cold and detached.
Vanessa froze for a moment. Over the years, their relationship had always been very good.
However, during this period of time, with this attitude of Chester towards her, Vanessa realised that it might not only be because she did not support him and Alina to be together.
Does he actually know something?
But she didn’t dare ask.
Those things, after all, had an absolutely shattering and terrifying effect on the relationship between them, and even on her position in the Collins family.
“Tomorrow at noon, come back for dinner.” Vanessa took a deep breath and said to Chester.
Chester, “I am in Eglinton.”
Vanessa froze again, where Alina was, Chester would be there.
If Alina didn’t remember everything, fine.
But now, it’s different.
“There’s a flight and it won’t take much time to get back, so I’ll have the kitchen prepare what you like, okay?”
The implication was for Chester to rush back.
And at the moment, Vanessa was patient on the phone.
Ever since Caleb’s affair, she disliked Chester.
Chester frowned as Vanessa hung up the phone.
Andre came to Eglinton because he knew that Chester was over here, he was still more or less uneasy about Alina.
Knowing that Alina has not seen Chester until now, he knows what kind of suffering Alina is now enduring in her heart.
“The show is over, shall we go back to Shirling?” Andre said as he looked at Alina.
Alina nodded, “Yeah.”
Andre, “I’ll have Declan find out everything as soon as possible.”
Because of Declan, they finally know that there are quite things behind the scenes have not surfaced.
Alina bowed her head and clenched her hands into fists.
Andre gently stroke her hair, “Are you afraid?”
Alina was silent.
Andre crouched down, took her cold hand and asked gently, “If, indeed, there was no way out between you and him, what would you do?”
At this, Andre clearly felt her cold hand stiffen when she heard those words.
Joanna told Alina that no matter what she found out deep down, she had to find a way to give herself and Chester a way out.
But what Joanna hadn’t thought about was that if there was no way out between them.
“Andre.” The moment she opened her mouth, Alina’s tone was tinged with grief.
And it was this ‘grief’ that ruthlessly stimulated Andre’s heart, and he thought of Chester’s words in this instant.
Tell him not to check.
No matter how true Chester’s words to him at that time were. But he had told him not to look into it, no doubt he was afraid that Alina would know about it.
This means that what is going on behind the scenes is not simple.
And he felt that the Collins family shouldn’t have cheated Alina like that. But now as he watched her suffer such pain, Andre wondered if he was really wrong to help her find out the so-called truth.
There is nothing wrong with going through life in a muddled manner.
“I am scared.” Under the gaze of Andre, Alina once again lowered her eyes and spoke the words within.
Many things are now beginning to take on the seeds of everything that was not so simple back then, and it is too late to stop.
But the further she gets into, the more uneasy Alina’s heart actually becomes.
She was scared.
“It’s been so many years between him and I. The storms back then made us finally leave each other and now…”
Now, the pain is no less than it was then.
Back then, when they were in the most pain, they allowed themselves to forget everything, but they endured more and more painful suffering.
And now, soberly weathering the emotional storm with Chester, she hurts all the more for it.
“Alina.” Andre took her in his arms, closed his eyes and said in a deep voice, “Since it’s so painful, let’s not investigate, okay?”
“No.” Alina spat out without even thinking.
The death of a parent, the death of a grandmother cannot be so unclear.
“I would have liked that Emma was the end of the line.” But it wasn’t.
The person behind this is really deep, he had set up a relationship.
Who is so horrible?
“Did the hughes family have any enemies back then?” Andre asked Alina.
And in talking about the enemies of the Hughes family, Alina felt her brain chaos. Mom and Dad are both knowledgable people, Grandma was gentle internally and arrogant externally, given all the protection she had for her family.
Such a person should not have any enemies.
“You mean, not only Vanessa, but possibly… ” There are others?
When she thought of this, Alina’s heart was raised to her throat in this instant.
Andre frowned at her as Alina said, “Check it out.”
Now, she can’t remember anything.
The only thing that is clear is that Vanessa and Macy were involved back then, so follow this clue, it would be found out.
