Chapter 399 Difficult
Ever since theplete falling out between Alina and Caleb, Chester has always yed a very
important role in Alina''s world.
ording to her rtionship with Chester like this, that is an ethical rtionship involved..
But any normal family, whether she and Caleb are really divorced or not, would not be able to ept
her getting involved with Chester.
But not to mention Chester himself, even the people over at the Collins family seem to support her and
Chester being together.
This support was abnormal.
......
Penny has been picked up again by the Collins family.
Vanessa loves this granddaughter to bits, and she has spent almost every day with the child since her
return.
She wanted to put all the love of a grandmother to this child.
Although Penny knew how to behave, she was still a child, and Vanessa captured her heart with ease.
"Mum, what''s wrong with you?" Julia saw Vanessa with tears in the corners of her eyes and handed the
tissue over.
Vanessa, "How nice it would be if this child could always be raised by my side."
Vanessa really likes this child.
It''s just a pity that they won''t be together for much longer.
Without waiting for Julia to speak, Vanessa said with a sigh, "The marriage between Caleb and Alina
back then was already against the grain, and it was natural to separate. What I''m sad about is not their
separation, but the child."
Back then, after Caleb and Alina got married, Vanessa, the mother-inw, had never rushed the birth.
It was as if she knew that this was a scourge for Alina.
"Why didn''t we think of it?" She thought Caleb really loved Emma, and there were so many things in
between.
The person that night was, surprisingly, Caleb.
"I''m heartbroken for Chester." That was the truth.
For so many years, Vanessa was separated from Chester because of the kind of cruel separation
between Alina and Caleb back then, andter on because of that.
She would not have said yes, but Max was tough at that time.
"It''s me who''s useless." At this moment, Vanessa''s tone was particrly serious.
"Mum."
"I''m the one who didn''t protect Chester." What kind of life had Chester been living all these years?
When Caleb and Alina were together, he barely had the courage toe back to Ingford.
In the firstpromise of his life, what we got was the end of Alina jumping into the Hasnan River
three years ago.
He regretted it.
He repented.
No one knows exactly how Chester hase through all these years.
Now looking at the child between Caleb and Alina, Vanessa''s heart was even more filled with emotions.
Julia didn''t know much about what happened back then, but now from Vanessa, she knows almost all
of it.
Naturally, her heart ached for Chester.
......
Caleb came to Mulherd Manor.
It was only a short time ago that one could see the vicissitudes in him at a nce.

Alina frowned, "You''re out?"
Her tone was not exactly kind.
Caleb looked at Alina, what shone under those eyes was a myriad of pain.
He wanted to say something, yet at this moment, he was unable to say anything, so much had
happened in his world during this time.
And every single thing, for him, was subversive.
"Alina." Called her name softly.
Yet Alina trembled at this.
"What are you doing?"
"I..."
Yet what''s the point of talking about that now.
His fists clenched.
He said, "I am sorry."
Alina was a bit baffled by Caleb''s sudden words, does he know what is right and wrong?
Obviously, in Alina''s mind, Caleb was someone who definitely did not know ''right from wrong''.
She knew it from what happened to Emma before, and even if he saw what kind of person Emma really
was, he ignored ''right and wrong'' and defended Emma again and again.
Now this man is saying sorry in front of her?
It''s a bit overwhelming.
"You should be sorry." Alina snickered.
"Do you hate me?"
Caleb spoke.
What shone in the man''s eyes at that moment was a myriad of pain.
Looking at Alina for an instant, he just looked into her eyes, as if he wanted to see all the changes
under her eyes, carefully.
However, he was disappointed.
There is no lingering of emotion in the subtle changes in Alina, there is only endless coldness.
Even when she smiled, there was a cold look under those eyes.
"Hate? Do you think too highly of yourself? You are nothing in my world, how can you deserve my
hate?"
These words, like sharp des, plucked fiercely at Caleb''s heart.
This kind of pain tormented Caleb fiercely.
"Then in those two years we were together, did you really have no feeling for me?"
The smile on Alina''s lips became more sarcastic as she said, "What feeling do you think I should have
for you?"
At that time, she was so well behaved by his side.
Gentle, decent.
The entire city says that Alina is the standard for a daughter-inw of a wealthy family, following the
etiquette, knowing the decency, being gentle.
All these wonderful words that describe a woman are used for her.
"If it weren''t for Grandpa Max, do you think I would have married you?"
Caleb''s world copsed.
What did she say?
If it wasn''t for Grandpa''s words, she wouldn''t have married him?
"A marriage made by parents and matchmakers, what feeling do you expect? How ridiculous." Alina
said sarcastically.
Although her parents were not present at that time, the union between them was a mere trust between
elders.
And at that time her injuries had not yet healed and all her reactions were merely instinctive, even
hollow.
"Grandpa Max said that you would take good care of me, and that being with you would make the rest
of my life worry-free and peaceful." This was spoken with sadness by Alina.
