When Alina saw how much it hurt Nellie to even talk about Andre, she knew she wouldn’t forgive.
Nellie continued, “This time of mine has been the easiest I’ve had in years.”
There is no Andre, no emotion whatsoever.
It turns out that it’s so easy when she doesn’t want feelings, even when she knows the weight of responsibility that is about to be placed on her shoulders.
Even if she knew that the road ahead would be a heavy one, she was not the least bit afraid.
Alina, “I know, don’t worry, I won’t tell him.”
Hearing that, Alina could not bear to say any more.
When she was in Shirling before, seeing Andre was harsh to Nellie at that time, she always advised Andre.
But Andre just didn’t listen to any advice.
He was like a rebellious child.
And now it has been proven that if a person is rebellious, he will eventually pay the price for that rebellion, and Nellie will not forgive him easily.
Hearing Alina say that she wouldn’t tell Andre, Nellie was relieved, “He’s just like crazy.”
“In these six months, he went to the Chambers family countless times, and went to all to find Barney. It’s the same old thing, using tactics to force him.”
When Alina heard these words, she couldn’t help but feel stunned.
Was Andre a fool when it came to emotions?
It would only make Nellie more disgusted and was less likely to go back to him.
“You get sick of that, don’t you?”
“Yes.” Alina nodded her head.
She wanted to run when Caleb and Chester had used this method before.
“It just feels depressing to spend time with people like that.” Alina said seriously.
Nellie’s eyes lit up.
Looking at Alina, it was as if she had found a common denominator who had reached a consensus, “Yes, yes, that’s the feeling, it’s depressing.”
That was how she felt now when Andre was trying to force her back in this way.
She knew that she could not compromise.
Once she returned to his side because of the threat, then he would have countless ways to threaten her and force her later.
“Alina, with someone like him, it’s really too depressing.” Nellie said.
Alina, “Yes, yes, take it easy, be careful with the baby.”
Nellie was irritated when talking about Andre.
How easy was it for her after leaving Andre? Or how hard was it to be pushed by him?
Knowing that Alina really wouldn’t tell Andre, Nellie talked to Alina a lot all afternoon, rambling on and on.
Alina was relieved to see that Nellie was in a good mood.
She was worried that Nellie would be unhappy because of Andre. Since now she was in a good mood, it couldn’t be better.
Now, although Nellie was pregnant for seven months, Alina still looked at Nellie with concern, “You don’t have anyone here, aren’t you going to hire a maid?”
Nellie, “I’m going to hire one when I’m about to give birth, but right now I like to be a bit more quiet and don’t like to be disturbed.”
Alina, “But what if something unexpected happens?”
“No, it won’t, isn’t there a phone? I’ve bought several phones and put each one in the closest place to me.”
If something unexpected happens, she can reach out and get her phone.
It’s a smart move.
But Alina said, “Mobile phones have radiation, right?”
During the time she was pregnant, Chester would not let her play with her mobile phone and would tell her stories if she got bored.
She could recite all the stories he told over and over again.
Nellie, “It’s not a problem now, and I don’t usually use other electronics.”
At this, Alina was slightly relieved.
However, she was still uneasy about Nellie.
Nellie, “Besides, you are in Sinantu Pavilion, I’ll call you when I’m about to give birth.”
“Okay.” Alina nodded her head.
It seemed to be necessary to ask Chester to keep an eye on her downstairs at all times, in case something happens.
The two talked for over two hours, saying nothing but bad words about Andre.
Andre couldn’t have imagined that his most trusted sister would be chatting with the woman he was looking for.
And, he was already going crazy and she didn’t mean to tell him.
It was almost five o’clock when Alina intended to go back.
Nellie said to her, “Stay for dinner before you leave.”
“Will you cook?” Alina looked at Nellie skeptically.
Looking at her big belly, and then at the nicely cleaned house, her heart seized up again.
She was pregnant during this time, and she was not allowed to do anything, for fear that it would affect the child, and Nellie now…
Nellie nodded, “I will cook, I have some left over from lunch, just heat it up.”
Alina didn’t actually eat leftovers, she was not a good cook, but she was particularly fussy about what she ate.
But Nellie was enthusiastically asking her for dinner, she didn’t seem to be able to refuse.
Only when she went to the kitchen with Nellie and prepared to heat up the meal, she froze when she saw the lid of the pot that Nellie had opened.
“This is what you had for lunch?”
In the pot, half of the noodles were left, now battered into a pile.
Noodles have to be eaten at the time, or, they just don’t look good.
Nellie nodded, “Yeah, it tastes good.”
She then lit up the fire.
Apparently she didn’t finish it for lunch, so she just threw it in the pot without even fishing it up.
Alina looked at the noodles which did not look good, but Nellie did not seem to realise it and thought it was very good.
Soon, the water boiled.
Nellie gave her a big bowl and a bowl for herself, then the two of them sat down in the dining room and started to eat.
Alina took a taste.
Nellie asked, “How does it taste?”
“It’s not bad.” Alina said.
Nellie shouldn’t be able to cook either, otherwise she wouldn’t have cooked so many noodles that wouldn’t be finished tonight.
And the noodles tasted good, probably because she had put all the seasonings in.
Nellie, “Is that what you usually eat?”
“This is good, I had eggs in it at lunchtime.”
That was some good food.
Alina did not know what to say, only that he felt surprised.
When she heard Nellie say how happy she was this afternoon, Alina thought she could take care of herself well, but now it seemed the otherwise.
