I'm Richer Than My Billionaire ex-husband

Chapter 525 She was wrong

Andre came back and froze for a moment when he heard that Chester had arrived.

At the moment, Alina is sitting on a wicker chair on the balcony, looking at the lake not far away, her back looking a bit forlorn.

Andre stepped forward, came up behind her and said, "You know he is here, right?"

Alina stiffened, "Yeah."NôvelDrama.Org: text © owner.

Andre, "What are you afraid of?"

"Andre..."

"Yeah?"

"There was actually no way out between me and him when I knew Caleb was the one that night, and for a while after that, I was wrong."

It should have occurred to her then that she and Chester had been good together, so how could the Collins family not know? And for her to marry Caleb, there must be something behind this.

In fact, at that time, she should have stayed away from Chester, shouldn't she?

The last thing she wanted to see in this next battle with the Collins family was for Chester to be hurt, much less for that hurt to be self-inflicted.

Andre, "Alina."

"Vanessa schemed to get me raped by Caleb, and later got me married Caleb when I lost my memory, and we even had Penny, and that was all a hurdle I couldn't get over inside." So something deeper is definitely going to be dug out.

All these things had become a roadblock between her and Chester, and now so much more was happening.

Chester's step-by-step approach is even more desperate for her to avoid.

"How can I not go and turn the whole thing over when there's something behind it, maybe involving Mum and Dad and Grandma?"

Since she had to turn these things over, there would be any way out between them.

What could be more desperate than now for Alina?

Andre, "So, you're afraid, are you?"

Andre had always known that Alina was afraid,.

And it was the first time in all his years in the business world that he had seen such a dead-end situation that left a person in a dilemma.

If there are no feelings, so be it.

But it was because she had such deep feelings for Chester that she was in dilemma.

"You know what? When I saw how well Penny and Chester got along and how much she longed for her father's love, I feel more than scared." "You're afraid you'll hurt Penny?"

"Once Penny knew that Caleb was her father and she was calling her uncle her father..." The words that followed could not be said by Alina. After sensing that something was not right.

It was the first time that Alina had thought about it positively, and her heart was, apparently, hollow.

When Andre heard these words, he thought of what Chester had said to him on the phone that night.

Subconsciously, he was about to say something, but thought of the seriousness of the matter, especially as there was a larger conspiracy behind it, he swallowed the later words. "Let's not think about Penny and Chester for now, after all, the child is still young now." Who knows how it will change later on?

Alina opened her eyes.

The emptiness in her eyes was even more intense.

The child is really still young.

But the child will grow up, then, how should she explain it?

She is a selfish mother, but at the same time she thinks a lot about her child.

Because of Chester's arrival, Zane's spirits had improved. At the dinner table, Alina tried hard not to let her grandfather see anything, allowing Chester to help her with food as he always did. Alina glanced at Chester, who gave her a doting look, "Eat."

Alina was in a trance for a moment, as she looked at the smile in his eyes.

Not only was Chester good to her, he was extremely good to Penny, and in just a short time, he knew what the child loved to eat.

And Penny was sitting beside him, behaving well, which made Alina's heart not feel good.

After dinner.

Alina walked Grandpa back to his room and Zane took her hand, "Chester is very good to you and the child."

"He's much more reassuring than Caleb." When he thought of how Caleb had hurt Alina so much, Zane naturally would not forgive him.

But it was a rare occasion when they broke with the older generation's idea of tradition here and didn't mind those complicated relationships between Chester and Alina. Alina, "Grandpa, don't worry, I'm not a child anymore."

"Alina."

"Yes?"

"I can't protect you for much longer, I didn't get to see your mother happy and don't want you to have regrets."

Zane's tone was deep and tinged with pain.

Alina knew that her mother's death back then had left a lot of blow to her grandfather.

Only those who have experienced it know that Grandpa's health was actually not too good at that time.

After that, she had him worrying so much about her, and now she understood her grandfather, and nodded, "Grandpa, I will be fine."

"Everything is about protecting yourself."

"Okay."

Alina understood why Grandpa had accepted Chester so easily.

Because in Grandpa's heart, all those so-called relationships and stuff are not so important, but more importantly, who can protect her.

When she came out of her grandfather's room, she saw Chester standing in the corridor not far away, and Alina subconsciously wanted to walk away.

Yet as she passed by him, Chester grabbed her cold hand, "You still want to hide from me?"

His tone was soft, but it was tinged with manly pain.

Alina's heart, all of a sudden, softened.

The next moment, Chester took her into his arms, "You said before that no matter what happens, we have to stay together."

Alina, "..."

She didn't know what was happening when she said that, and now she looks back, she felt so powerless.

When Chester saw that she did not answer, the strength of his hold on her was tighter at the moment.

"Abby."

"Chester, there's a lot more going on behind the scenes, isn't there?" Alina closed her eyes and took a deep breath.

Chester stiffened. What did she know?

"Abby."

Alina's body was trembling lightly.

No matter how much has happened in the meantime, no matter how delicate those relationships with the Collins family are, there is no denying that she misses this man. Her arms hugged around his neck, the kiss pressed down, with her longing and pain.

Chester froze for a moment, then returned with more passion and fierceness, wanting to make her all his.
