Lincol knew from the first time he saw Alina that this woman looked simple, but in fact, she was deep.
“You wouldn’t need to worry about your sister, she’s always been clear in her heart.”
“…”
“She looks soft and weak, she knows what to do.”
If she was really a simple woman, he wouldn’t have been unable to coax her to deal with Chester together.
But for so many years, it had always been them who had suffered in front of the Ajax family, and now they were letting the Ajax family head suffer a loss too.
Not bad. For that alone, he respected Alina.
“If she was really as powerful as you say she is, she wouldn’t have suffered so much damage.”
“It is hindsight.” Lincol smiled.
Alina is hindsight.
So she can turn over the tide.
Even if there was nothing she could do at the moment, she would definitely be able to hold on, “She’s learned a lot of tricks from being with the Collins family over the years.”
At least she was not as soft and weak as before.
That face of hers, though, was easy to misunderstand.
That softness was as if it would disappear at any moment, no wonder Chester protected her so well.
However, after so much experience, she became sharp.
…
Alina and Simon had been on the phone for an hour, and now the actions of Sienna made it seem like something was wrong.
As for what was wrong, it was impossible to say.
After all, the Ajax family was not a simple place.
Paisley failed to inherit the Hughes family. If Sienna really cared about Paisley, she wouldn’t have announced that Paisley was her sister.
Alina, “You mean she didn’t care about me then either.”
After all, the Ajax family was such a complicated place.
And she had just gone back. What kind of changes and scenes did the Ajax family have for so many years?
Everything hadn’t been processed and finished, but it was announced that she was the sister.
The Simon on the other side of the phone was silent.
Alina put on a smile, “Watch over there.”
“Okay.”
Simon responded.
Sienna had always acted in a profound manner, now this matter was not that simple, at least in Simon’s opinion, she was not just getting angry with Alina.
Now the elders of the Ajax family have long been wolfish and ambitious, and Sienna would not be unaware of this.
This is the time to announce that Paisley is her sister?
Is this really a way to compensate Paisley?
When has she ever compensated anyone? But thinking that Paisley was Marcus’ most beloved sister, again, it made her doubt.
She hung up the phone with Simon, andpinched her sore brow.
Before it seemed like everything still revolved around her, but now there was always a feeling that she was all out of it.
When she handed over the Hughes family to Margot, it was as if the pause button had been pressed on her world.
No one was looking for trouble with her anymore.
At least in Kubay, the ones that were watching her before were all gone.
…
Chester came in.
“What’s on your mind?” Seeing the way Alina was wrinkling her brow, he went forward and took her into his arms.
Ever since things were explained between them, Chester had become more and more reckless with her.
In the past, he was always cautious and didn’t know how to approach her, but now Chester wanted to be close to her all the time.
Alina looked at Chester and shook her head.
In the end, nothing was said.
Although a lot of things had been cleared up between her and Chester, for Alina, there was still a subconscious suspicion.
Since when exactly was she no longer willing to trust anyone easily?
It’s a bad feeling.
Chester, “Abby, don’t hide anything from me.”
Chester knew Alina best, they had grown up together since they were young and had a long love run behind them.
So in Chester’s heart, he naturally knew Alina the best. Now it was obvious that she had something on her mind.
Alina, “It’s really nothing.”
She didn’t want to say anything. Kubay was now watched by Simon.
Although right now her world had the pause button pressed, because with not being too used to trusting anyone.
So now, no matter what kind of picture it was, Alina would subconsciously keep an extra eye on it.
Especially since what Sienna was doing now gave her a deep sense of foreboding, she always felt that things were not simple.
“Fine, if you’re not willing to say it, then don’t say it.” Seeing that Alina was unwilling to say, Chester did not force her.
The strength of his hold on her tightened.
Alina raised her eyes to look at him.
Chester, “What’s wrong?”
“When are you going back to Kubay?”
“You’re going back with me.” Now there were indeed quite a few things in Kubay that required Chester to go back.
But Alina’s attitude now…
Speaking of going back to Kubay, Alina stiffened, a subconscious reaction that Chester naturally felt clearly.
“Abby.”
“I won’t go back with you.” Alina refused without even thinking about it.
At those words, Chester froze. Not going back?
He thought…
“Although the Ajax family has now announced that news, it’s better to hold off between me and you first.”
Now everything was laid out in front of her, all so blurry that it gave Alina a feeling of not being able to see.
And in such a situation, she naturally would not make a choice at will.
Chester, “Alright then, I’ll wait for you over here.”
When Chester saw that Alina did not relent, he did not force her.
Alina’s eyes froze when she heard that.
“You…”
“I’ll stay over here with you.”
Alina’s brain was bursting with pain.
Keeping her company?
She wasn’t a fool, Matteo and Ronan and the others had been out and about into Hayinwon at any time in the past few days, so it was clear how much trouble he was in right now.
“You go back and take care of the Spinster family first.” Alina said with a deep breath.
Chester frowned.
Alina, “I want to be quiet for a while.”
As if things had come to such a point now, no matter what it was like before, Alina had a feeling of exhaustion.
She was really tired.
Chester looked at her, “Abby.”
“I need time.” Without waiting for Chester to finish his words, Alina said.
She really needed some time.
Chester had thought that she had already let go of all after he was able to get close to her with impunity these past few days.
But she held a grudge. Chester remembered it.
No matter what happens in the future, he can’t offend his wife, or else he won’t be able to coax her back anyhow, and it will make him very distraught.
“I’m going to stay with you.” Chester didn’t care that much.
He took so much effort to be so close to her, he was afraid that if he turned around, she would be far away from him again and wouldn’t want to see him.
The distance that he had once felt was so heartbreaking to him.
Now Chester never wanted to experience it again.
Alina, “You…”
How come she didn’t know before that Chester was such a scoundrel?
Chester’s hold on her tightened even more.
“Abby, I’m scared.”
Scared?
At this moment, Chester showed his heart’s uncertainty and fear in front of her, but he never showed his true feeling before.
And now, in front of the person he loves the most, he has gone out of his way to drop everything.
