Chester looked at her with this look of fear of him, a touch of disappointment flowed from his eyes, and this look pierced Caleb.
But to think that when he came in just now, he saw Amy, Caleb was not comfortable leaving Alina to Chester and letting him just take Alina to Sinantu Pavilion.
“Be good, Alina, don’t be afraid, okay?” Caleb felt Alina’s fear and coaxed softly, patting her back.
Alina raised her eyes and asked him, “Why are you so mean?”
There was a hint of disappointment in her soft tone.
Such disappointment was not disguised in the slightest and was clearly audible.
Caleb rubbed her soft hair, “Chester isn’t being mean to you, he’s being mean to me.”
Alina still looked at Caleb innocently, with a slight timidity in those eyes.
Chester, “Be good, I won’t be mean to you.”
Right now, it’s about to be time for Alina to choose, although Chester promised Caleb to respect Alina’s choice.
But right now, looking at her like this, his heart was taking back his words little by little.
If Alina had really chosen to stay, he would not have kept that promise.
Alina still looked at him in disbelief.
Chester was about to say something, but Caleb deliberately interrupted him, “Come on, she’s not that easy to be coaxed.”
If that’s the case, then what’s all the work he has done before?
If she was that easy to be coaxed, she wouldn’t be around him now in her silly state.
Caleb said, but it was himself who was reminded and his own heart that was broken, if that were possible, he really wished that he and Alina would work out.
“Tell me, Alina, would you rather go home with me, or with Chester?”
“Is home different?”
For these two homes, Alina asked with some confusion.
Caleb shook his head, “Not the same. Now you tell me, who are you going back with?”
This time, Caleb asked a bit more clearly.
And with that question, it was the two of them who were nervous.
After all, now that Alina was delirious, it was possible for her to make any kind of choice.
Chester, “Abby, come home with me.”
His tone was as gentle as possible, yet Alina was silent at this moment.
She looked at Caleb and then at Chester.
The hearts of both men were in their throats at this moment.
Caleb, “If you come home with me, I’ll take you to see the groundhog every day, okay?”
“The groundhog will bite me.”
As soon as Alina heard the groundhog, she shook her head, obviously scared from being bitten earlier.
Caleb was shocked at the sound of her words.
How could he, in his haste, forget about Alina being bitten earlier? Now surely she didn’t want to see groundhog.
Bloody hell.
“OK, we’re not going to see the groundhog, how about a horse ride?”
“That’s enough.” Chester interrupted him.
He could see that during his absence, Alina’s preferences had completely changed.
And the person who knew her best now was Caleb.
His face darkened even more at the thought of it.
He regretted that he had not appeared in front of Alina sooner.
She would not be afraid of him, right?
Caleb gave him a fierce look.
Chester breathed heavier, trying to bait Alina in the same way, only to find that she had changed a lot in the meantime.
At least with such a personality, those previous preferences were different, and he didn’t actually know how to coax her.
He looked somewhat expectantly at Alina.
Alina looked pitifully at Caleb, “Can I eat rabbits? I want the spicy one.”
“No, you can’t eat too much spicy food.” Without waiting for Caleb to answer, Chester said without thinking.
He was aware of Alina’s physical condition and could obey her on everything, but not this.
This would only harm her health.
Alina bristled, about to burst into tears.
“Come home with me and I’ll let you eat enough, okay?” Caleb said deliberately, which even made Chester angry.
Alina was indeed delighted.
“Then I’ll go home with you.”
Chester was pissed off.
Caleb’s eyes, however, showed an unprecedented tenderness, “Good girl.”
At that moment, a sharp gaze stayed on him.
And because of Alina’s words, Caleb felt a sense of satisfaction and felt that it didn’t matter what he had lost.
Chester, “Abby.”
At this time, Alina was still engrossed in the happiness of being able to eat rabbits, when she heard Chester’s shout, she instantly came back to her senses.
Just as she was about to speak, she was grabbed by Caleb, “We had agreed before to respect her decision.”
Alina did not know what they had agreed on and looked at Chester foolishly.
The pain that Chester could not hide flowed from his eyes, and that kind of pain seemed to stimulate Alina’s heart at this moment.
She subconsciously tried to struggle, but Caleb held on to her, “Alina, we should go home now.”
With that, he simply led Alina away.
When Amy returned from her errand, she saw Caleb leaving with Alina, and some shock crossed her eyes.
“Master Caleb.” Respectfully, she stepped forward and subconsciously glanced at Alina in his hand.
Caleb looked at her with hostility in his eyes and subconsciously brought Alina behind him.
Amy wondered, “Are you taking Alina away?”
Her Lord shouldn’t let him take her away, should he?
Caleb’s eyes were sombre, “Keep an eye on your own people.”
His’ tone of voice was all warning.
Amy didn’t understand, “Where did my people offend you?”
Her people have been quiet since they came to E City, why Caleb seemed to have some hostility towards her?
“Since you don’t have do that, you’d better not do it in the future.” After saying that, Caleb pulled Alina away.
When he felt Alina limping, Caleb frowned and turned back, “Does your foot hurt?”
Alina nodded resignedly, “Yes, it hurts.”
There was a bit of a nasal sound in her tone, obviously she was in pain.
Caleb bent down and picked her up.
When Amy and the others watched Caleb leave with Alina in his arms, they were all incomparably shocked.
“Did the Lord really let Master Caleb take Alina away?” Amy turned to the butler on the side.
The butler didn’t understand.
Amy went inside with questions.
“Lord, everything has been taken care of, now shall we prepare to return to Sinantu Pavilion?” Amy asked carefully.
Especially when she felt the hostile aura on Chester’s body, she understood what had just happened here.
Alina was quite a charmer, having the two brothers sniping at each other.
This was a model for her admiration.
