Chester had to go out today, so there were only Alina and Nellie at the table. Nellie asked her, “Why didn’t Penny come back for dinner?”
“She eats over at the school at noon.” Alina said.
Chester was opinionated when it came to raising children, whether they are boys or girls, he does not allow them to be petty.
He said that both boys and girls should stand on their own two feet.
Penny would clamour to come back when she was at school at first, but as time went on, she got used to this.
At the lunch table, Alina took a look at Nellie’s big belly, which didn’t really look too different from the norm.
But the doctor just said that these last month or two are the months when the baby is growing.
She would have a big belly that she probably didn’t sleep well and with triplets, the doctor’s advice was actually to start hospitalisation now.
That worry from last night was starting to surface again.
“Nellie three children are not the same as one child.” Alina said.
Nellie’s hand holding the chopsticks froze.
The joy that was in her heart a moment ago was now gone.
Three children were worth being happy about.
But thinking of the dangers she would have to face next, she could not help but feel vaguely worried.
“I know, I was happy to know at first, but in fact I knew it when the doctor said it was triplets.”
“So now, what are your plans?” Alina asked Nellie.
Naturally, Nellie knew why Alina asked.
When she had one child before, she would get through whatever hardships she had.
But now with three children, not only were the babies already in danger from being in her belly, but so was she.
She was a mother, not unlike when she was alone, and the slightest slip-up would have scattered her heart, however strong it might have been.
Nellie knew that Alina was asking this question because she was worried about her, not because she was really biased towards Andre.
But after thinking about the current situation of Andre, she still said, “Let’s wait until the babies are born.”
If she had a successful birth, then she and Andre still had no relationship, and if she didn’t make it through, just let Alina hand the children over to Andre, and as for the future, that would be up to him.
Alina understood Nellie’s meaning, and couldn’t help but feel saddened, “Do you really hate him that much?”
Even if she was now facing a dangerous situation, she was not even willing to have any connection with Andre.
As for what really happened between Nellie and Andre, Alina wasn’t clear.
But now looking at this resistance in Nellie’s heart towards Andre, it was clear that what she and Andre once had was not as simple as she saw it.
On the topic of how much she really hated Andre, Nellie chose to be silent.
Alina didn’t ask any more questions.
After lunch, Nellie was sleepy and wanted to go back to bed, Alina told her to sleep right here, but she could not fall asleep in others’ bed, so Alina could only ask the driver and Bonnie to take her back together.
…
As Nellie had just left, Amy came and brought Alina many delicious food, although knowing that Alina was now no longer a food.
But Alina would still like what she brought over.
“How about it? Do you like it?”
“Yes, but I just had dinner.” Alina said as she motioned for Amy to sit down with her.
Amy put on a sweet smile.
Alina, “What are you looking at me like that for? It is obscene.”
“How can you say that?” Amy muttered in a disgruntled tone.
After a long time of companionship, Alina and Amy have become friends and are therefore much more casual in their words.
Alina, “You smiled at me all the time.”
“Is it bad to smile? Smiling means I’m in a good mood, and when I’m in a bad mood, there are serious consequences.” Amy said.
Alina tasted the durian pastry, she really couldn’t eat anymore, but the taste was something she liked.
She could only eat it when Chester wass not around. When he was around, he did not allowed it to be brought in as he dislike the smell.
Alina asked, “Why are you so kind to me?”
The Byrne family’s interests are inextricably linked to those of the Spinster family, and it was clear from the Holmes family before that Fiona wanted to get rid of her.
However Amy had been protecting her since she arrived at Sinantu Pavilion, and had brought the entire Byrne family together, having no the slightest hint of being an enemy.
When Amy heard Alina ask this, she grunted, “I wouldn’t dare treat you badly.”
“What?”
To this answer from Amy, Alina did not understand.
If she didn’t dare to do it openly, what could she do secretly?
There were countless ways of Fiona and Annie to drive Alina to death before.
Amy, “Master Caleb threatens me at all times, even though I haven’t done anything, if I really did something to you, he will tear me apart.”
When Alina heard Caleb, a dark look flashed across her eyes.
Speaking of Caleb, Amy rambled on and on, complaining, “Why do you think he’s so guarded against me? Afraid that I’ll eat you up, he called me everyday.”
Alina knew that Caleb had always been extreme, but she had never expected it to be this extreme.
At the mention of Caleb, Alina’s heart sank.
In the end, he was a victim of Vanessa’s calculations.
She hadn’t been in touch with Caleb since she got sober, not really because she blamed him for what happened to the Ajax family.
Rather, she didn’t have the courage to face him, and they’re actually fine the way they are now, with everyone at peace with each other.
However what Alina did not know was that she had not been in touch with Caleb, but Caleb thought she was blaming him for what happened to the Ajax family.
“But Master Caleb has finally quieted down in the meantime, and he hasn’t called me since you got well.”
“…”
“I got nervous when I saw his phone calls during that time.”
“You have fears too?” Alina laughed.
In her opinion, Amy was a very competent woman, had nothing to be afraid of.
Amy, “I’m afraid, why not? If my father knew that I had provoked Master Caleb, he would have thrown me out of the house.”
She could not handle the pressure from either side.
Alina said to Amy, “What are you doing coming to me every day? Why aren’t you with your husband?”
Amy got married before.
Only the three days of the wedding did she not appear, and after that she came to Alina every day, without honeymoon and all.
Speaking of her marriage, Amy looked around.
When she saw that there was no one there, she approached Alina, “Let me tell you the secret, I have no feelings for that man, he said he would divorce me after three years and set me free.”
