Chester looked at Caleb with a darker gaze.
Caleb, “What are you looking at? I’m telling the truth, the way you protect a person some times is really unbelievable.”
Even in that dangerous situation, wouldn’t it have been better to send Alina to him?
Why should she be made to suffer so much?
Knowing full well that the one thing she couldn’t stand was for him to hurt her, he still did that heinous thing at the time.
Now Caleb was really not at ease with Alina leaving with Chester.
“I will take her away for sure.”
At Caleb’s objection, Chester responded.
Caleb, “Who are you to make such a decision?”
When he hurt Alina before, he didn’t think about the future.
“Right now she’s fool, and you can take her if you want, but when she’s back to normal.”
He just couldn’t believe that Alina would still be willing to go with Chester after she recovered, so he didn’t want to leave Alina in Chester’s hands like that.
Chester looked at him with a gaze that was more sombre.
Caleb, “When she’s back to normal.”
This was his last holdout.
Chester, “That’s not possible.”
Caleb was pissed off.
He really has the nerve to say that. Who was the reason why Alina had been in this state?
Who was he to say impossible?
The more Caleb thought about it, the angrier he became, yet Chester was very insistent, Caleb, “I’m not at ease that she is with you.”
In fact, what he was even more uneasy about was those people around Chester.
He saw Amy.
Previously, Chester had a nominal fiancée, Fiona Holmes, at Sinantu Pavilion.
But the one who helped Chester the most at that time was actually the Byrne family, and although the Byrne family was low-profile, the head of the family was very shrewd.
Amy was carefully groomed by the Byrne family, and to put it bluntly, she would be the future mistress of Sinantu Pavilion.
And now that the Byrne family had placed Amy at Chester’s side, the intention was clear to imagine.
Previously, because of his letting go, he had once put Alina into a whirlwind, and Caleb did not want to make himself regret it this time.
So in this matter, he had his own insistence at the moment.
“Whether you say yes or not, let her stay with me while you go back to Sinantu Pavilion and take care of everything yourself.”
“Leave the decision to her.”
The tone of Chester’s voice was still stony.
But that was his final concession.
As soon as Caleb heard this, he did not agree.
Leave the decision to that fool? She had been chanting about Chester all along, and if she was asked whether she would stay with him or leave with Chester, she would choose to leave with Chester.
“No.”
Thinking about it, Caleb shook his head.
“Then I can only take her away.” Chester said in a firm and deep tone.
Caleb’s brain was aching with anger.
He knew that Chester was a paranoid person, and since he had said so, then this was definitely his final concession as well.
Caleb, “Then do what she wants.”
Although, he was now really not the slightest bit sure about Alina.
But right now that hope seemed to be placed on her.
“Let’s say upfront no what what decision she makes, you have to respect her.” Caleb added.
What if that fool choose him?
After all, he had been so good to her all this time, and although he had often called her a heartless woman, she had always relied on him, though not thankful.
Now Caleb was pinning all his hopes on Alina’s reliance on him.
Chester, “I should be saying this to you.”
Caleb grunted coldly.
Alina now was about to sleep soundly anywhere, probably because she really had nothing on her mind.
She was upset when she was woke up.
Woken by the noise, she was angry.
Caleb had spoiled her during this period of time, after all, she was just like child and Caleb had always obeyed her.
Whether it was morning or noon, she slept until she woke up naturally.
If she could not fall asleep at night, he would stay with her.
On the way downstairs, she saw Chester and Caleb sitting together, she called out in a good manner, “Caleb, Chester.”
While Caleb was smiling, Chester’s face sank.
Feeling the anger from Chester, Caleb revealed a smug smile.
Chester, “She’s your sister-in-law.”
Caleb was not afraid of him in the slightest and waved to Alina proudly, “Good girl, come here, here’s some candy for you.”
Chester was furious and threw a glass of water at Caleb’s face.
When Alina saw the scene before her, she was shocked and subconsciously about to cry.
Caleb was about to get angry, but seeing the way Alina was about to cry from fear, he relented and said to Alina, “It’s fun, want to play together?”
When Alina heard that it was just fun, she felt relieved.
And because of that glass of water from Chester just now, she now looked at Chester with more caution.
She walked towards Caleb timidly, “Chester is so mean.”
“Yeah, he is mean, let’s go home, okay?” Caleb took the opportunity to coax Alina.
Chester gave him a stern look.
But seeing Alina sitting beside Caleb, who was actually afraid of him at the moment, he felt upset.
It turned out that she was now afraid of people being mean.
She wasn’t even scared when she saw his face, but why she was now timid?
“She’s been so timid all this time?”
“It’s because of you.”
When it came to this, Caleb had nothing good to say to Chester. After all, it was because of Chester that Alina was not in this state.
At this moment, although Caleb did not answer directly, Chester already had an answer in his heart.
After all that she had been through, a psychological shadow had long been cast over her heart.
In his heart, he couldn’t help but feel bit of pain for Alina.
“Abby, will you come home with me?” He asked Alina in a soft voice, his tone unprecedentedly gentle.
But with the scene just now, Alina was now looking at him warily and defensively, as if she was suspicious of something.
And this suspicious look pierced Chester’s heart at this moment.
Was she afraid of him?
Why? Just because he was mean to Caleb just now? “Good girl, I won’t be mean to you, okay?”
“You liar.” Alina hid behind Caleb.
