I'm Richer Than My Billionaire ex-husband

Chapter 573 He can't take the child away

Alina's body trembled lightly.

Her body was as heavy as if lead had been poured into it, and she could not move from where she stood, "What do you mean?"

What do you mean by the question of who the child belongs? Why should she prepare for it?

"Are you trying to rob the child?" Her world had gone blank as she said the words.

It was as if even her voice could no longer be heard.

Looking at his back, Alina's heart choked hard, he said, "It is now certain that the child is mine."

So what?

So, he's taking Penny away?

Alina's world, instantly collapsed.

Shaking her head, she burst into tears, "No, you can't take the child away."

The moment she opened her mouth, her voice was sobbing and even a distinct shudder, yet his back was so cold.

"Alina Hughes." His tone of voice was heavier.

Hearing such a title made Alina feel even more oxygen deprived. He had never called her by her name in such a way.

It was as if everything that had happened between them before was nothing.

Alina took several deep breaths, but she could not suppress the dull pain in her heart.

"Why don't you go back to Shirling first?"

Back to Shirling?

So now he won't even let her see the child?

In an instant, it was as if something had shattered between them. No, in fact, it had long since shaken.

And this time it was just an opportunity.

"You won't let me see the child?"

He was silent.

The blood in Alina's body was already completely cold, and Chester did not answer her question, but walked inside.

That back looked so cold and firm.

Alina didn't know how long she had been standing outside Waterside Villa or when she had returned to Mulherd Manor. When Lucy saw Alina return in a state of distress, her eyes were full of heartache, "Lady Alina, what's wrong with you?" Alina slumped on the sofa, having lost her mind.

She didn't seem to hear anything of what Lucy said, completely isolating herself in her world.This content belongs to Nô/velDra/ma.Org .

Lucy was worried, her phone kept ringing, Lucy reminded her, "Lady Alina, your phone is ringing."

Lucy came closer and called her name, before Alina came back to her senses and looked at Lucy, her pupils lax.

Pulling her phone out of her bag and it was Andre calling, Alina picked it up, "Andre."

"Why haven't you been answering just now? Have you seen Chester?"

Hearing Andre's voice, the chaos of the night seemed to have found a floodgate, suddenly breaking through all of Alina's strength to endure.

Tears were falling from her eyes.

Even across the airwaves, her emotionally unstable sobs could be heard, and Andre was worried about her.

Alina was in severe pain.

After a long, long time, her emotions stabilized, but thinking of Chester's indifference this evening, she felt it was much more suffocating to her than Caleb had done to her three years ago.

Caleb and her were respectful of each other and not considered affectionate, hence her anger and hatred surged up at the time of separation.

Yet Chester occupies her whole heart. Even if the encounter between them was all Edison's reckoning, both Chester and Alina have definitely given their hearts.

Chester waited for her for so many years, secretly protecting her, compromising time and again for the once wounded woman.

And she, even now, was pushed to the point where she had no choice but to strike, would still be thinking what if she hurt him.

Edison is really ruthless. He had given them a dead end, with no way out.

"Are you better now?" Andre asked as he listened to her gradually steadying breathing.

Alina wanted to say something.

Yet when she spoke again, her throat was still painful.

"Alina."

"Andre, he wants to take the child away." Finally, Alina said with difficulty.

Andre, "What did you say?"

Alina said, the pain still smothering heavily in her breath, "I didn't see the child."

Thinking of that heart-stabbing image at the entrance of Waterside Villa, she actually thought that this day would come between herself and Chester sooner or later when she finally struck out at Vanessa. He no longer has her in his world.

He would have another woman, he would take another woman as his wife, and he would have children with another woman, yet she never thought that the day would come so soon, catching her off guard. Andre's breathing was muffled and heavy, "I'll be right over."

Alina said painfully, "You coming here won't change anything."

This is the path that now separates her from Chester.

He wants the child but not her.

He had Annie, who now lived in Waterside Villa, the harbour she had previously time and again.

Tonight as she was about to go in, even if it was just to go in for the child, he had stopped her.

She had never known that it hurt so much to be rejected like this by the person she loved so much, as if in an instant, there was no longer a place for her in his world.

Now listening to Alina's brief words, Andre had lost the ability to react.

"Alina." Opening his mouth, he wanted to say something to comfort Alina, yet only to hear Alina continue.

"He's going to take the child away." It was as if she had lost her mind.

Andre only felt his nerves going haywire as a result.

Chester is truly mad.

Does he not know what a child really means to Alina? It was enough to be engaged to Annie.

And now he wants to take the child away?

"Don't worry, Penny is yours and has always been yours." Andre said in a deep voice.

Alina closed her eyes, tears slipping down, it was clear that whatever said now would be vain to her.

Just the fact that Chester had snatched the child had given her enough excitement.

As for whether Penny would end up being hers, this outcome is now so remote for them.

After all, they had known for a long time in the past exactly what kind of presence Chester had in Eglinton and Ipswich.

In this way, if he now made a move to snatch the child, then it would be an absolutely devastating blow to Alina.
