Seeing that she sounded bad, Violet approached her, cautiously surveyed Ruby.
She was anxious just now and that why she said those words.
When Nellie was not here before, Andre knew that this was her grandmother’s house, but he had never set foot in it of his own accord.
Every time she appeared before him, he ignored her.
Knowing that this was Nellie’s grandmother, he should be be more or less polite.
Ruby took one look and knew exactly what was in Violet’s mind and said in a cold voice, “I’m telling you, put all those thoughts about Andre away.”
“Mom? What are you saying?”
“Do you hear me?”
Violet looked at Ruby in puzzle, and Ruby said, “It’s impossible for you and Andre, see how he treated Nellie before? If you approached him, he will only be more ruthless, I’m afraid you can’t afford it.”
“I…” Violet was subconsciously about to say that she would bear the consequences of anything herself.
But thinking of Andre’s ruthlessness, she didn’t continue in the end.
She naturally knew exactly how Andre had treated Nellie before, and if Andre had treated her like that, she would not have been able to afford it.
As she thought this, Violet wanted to retreat.
“Is there really no hope at all between me and him?”
“Definitely not.” Ruby said.
Before, she had illusions about the future between Andre and Violet, but just now she saw how Andre treated her.
Andre now saw everything clearly, yet still had this attitude, which shown his rejection already.
It would not be a good thing if Violet got close to him, which Ruby knew very well.
“Remember this, don’t mess with Andre or our Chambers family will all be destroyed by your hands, do you hear me?”
Ruby gave her warning.
The Chambers family definitely was more important than Andre.
Thinking about the old lady’s tough attitude today, Ruby was really worried about pissing Andre off, and that would not be good for them at all.
“Okay.” Violet said with some reluctance.
She didn’t expect that now that Nellie had been forced to leave, she still didn’t have any chance.
Ruby, “I hope you remember that.”
“…”
“Now though Nellie has been forced to leave. But his heart is all about Nellie, and you won’t get a good outcome if you go and provoke him at this time.”
“…”
“Even if you don’t want to give up, then you’ll have to wait a few years.” See if in a few years Andre can forget Nellie.
Or rather, at that time, Andre’s feelings for Nellie faded.
The moment Violet heard that she had to wait a few years, she instantly lost her sense of hope.
She didn’t dare to contradict Ruby, and knew how ruthless Andre really was, and that the consequences were something she couldn’t afford.
…
Half a year had passed, and many things had happened in that half year, yet Nellie had not yet been found.
With the Ajax family’s business over, Alina was up and about.
Chester had been carefully serving beside Alina after she regained her memory.
It had been half a month since Alina had completely recovered, but she didn’t mention a word about the Ajax family.
But Chester sensed that this was the final tranquillity before the storm.
“Alina, do you want to try this?” Chester brought a steamed fish to Alina’s front.
He had been cooking for the past few days, making her favourite food every day in different ways.
But she was all awake now, no longer that fool who just ate before, and who ate anything.
Nowadays, she only tasted a few bites of even the most delicious food.
“Well?”
When Alina calmly tasted a mouthful, Chester came up to her expectantly, still observing the subtle changes in her eyes.
Alina squinted at him, and that look made Chester breathe a sigh of relief, at least under such a look, she would definitely not have a fit.
Alina, “Not bad, you’re getting better and better at cooking now.”
“It’s good that you like it.” Chester said.
Alina looked at the long scar on his face and her cold fingers subconsciously touched it, however the next moment she was caught by Chester.
Alina, “…”
Chester, “It looks ugly now, doesn’t it?”
She didn’t even dislike him when she was delirious, but was she starting to dislike him now? Thinking of this, Chester was filled with aggravation.
Seeing his emotions, Alina forcefully pulled her hand out of his palm, saying, “Did it hurt then?”
She had never mentioned anything about that time or the Ajax family, and today she finally did ask.
When Alina asked him if it hurt at the time, he couldn’t help but tremble.
It was evident that those memories were not really good for him at the time.
That was probably why he never had a facelift, the pain of that time was enough for him.
So now whenever he thought of making a cut in the face, he subconsciously thought of that sea of fire.
Sensing his emotions, Alina gave him a hug, “Chester.”
Chester’s heart sank when he heard her called his name.
He had been lonely all these years without Alina, and how he wished she could be with him.
But then, for all the wrong reasons, they wouldn’t have been allowed to be together.
There was a reason in her and an element in him that they couldn’t get close to at will, and now it’s good that they’ve been together.
“Don’t you blame me?” Chester held her into his arms.
His tone was nervous as he asked the question.
Naturally, Alina knew what he was asking now.
It was about Sienna.
Alina knew he had always wanted to ask, and she did not say anything, he couldn’t feel in his heart what she was really thinking.
Now that he’s asked, he’s even more nervous.
Alina was not a fool, and after she had sobered up, once she had analysed many things, she knew where the reasons lay.
Sienna was too harsh.
She had provoked many people, and Zofia was innocent, while she had involved many others in this, even Chester almost died at her hands.
Even if Sienna were her sister, even if she knew exactly why all this had happened, she could never forgive Sienna.
“When she struck out at you, it was destined that the kinship bond between her and I would be thin.” Alina said with a deep breath.
The strength of Chester’s hold on her tightened even more.
He heard the pain in Alina’s tone.
She was heartbroken for Sienna.
Alina continued, “Whatever she went through as a child is no reason for her to turn bad.”
