I'm Richer Than My Billionaire ex-husband

Chapter 629 You're Not My Father

The atmosphere of the Lawson family had been rather heavy these past few days, and Penny seemed to have grown up quite a bit in a flash.

She was young, yet she seemed to understand things, she wasn't making a lot of noise, and she no longer clamored for her mother.

As if she knew what was happening, she became very quiet.

Liza's heart ached for the child.

"Penny."

"Yes, Granny Liza." To Luna, Penny had always been relatively well-behaved, but now she was so well-behaved that it was heartbreaking.

Luna, dressed in black, squatted down.

Holding the child in her arms, she wanted to say something, yet at this moment was unable to say anything.

Such a small child was so pitiful.

The people who used to love her seemed like they were all gone.

"Granny Liza."

"Yes?"

"Are Great Grandma and Great Grandpa never coming back?" Penny asked softly, with aggression in her voice, but desperately trying to hold back her tears.

In the past, this child always had a hard time controlling her emotions and would cry whenever things didn't go her way.

At that time, Megan probably spoiled her, but now, she held back.

Luna hugged the child heavier, "They went to another world to look for your mother, they will be very happy in that world." "Has mummy gone too?"

"Yes, mummy has gone too." Originally, they had not been able to bear to tell the child about Alina's death.

But now that such things were happening one after another in the family, they knew they couldn't hide it.

Plus, they might not be in the mood to deal with it any more.

So, it was good to tell her earlier.

And the child was silent when she heard this answer from Luna.

Luna felt the light trembling of the child's small body and became even more distressed, "If Penny wants to cry, just cry, okay?"

In the past, when Penny cried a lot, Luna would still find the child annoying.

But now, she wanted Penny to cry out.

Yet Penny said, "Penny doesn't cry, Great Grandma and Great Grandpa are too old to stand up to the noise, and mummy has said that I can't even cry in the future."

This was what Alina had told Penny when she saw her for the last time.

She hoped that when she returned to Shirling, she won't make any noise to bother Great Grandma and Great Grandpa.

And Penny remembered Alina's instructions.

"They're not afraid to be bothered now." Luna choked out.

Her heart hurt so much.

At the funeral.

Penny, who was dressed in a small black dress, saw the black and white photo of Zane and Megan. Plus the funeral of Vanessa that Chester had forced her to attend earlier in Ingford, she understood at this moment what this really means, tears finally couldn't help but slide down.

But she did not cry out at the funeral, but shed tears silently.

Every funeral seems to rain.

As if even the heavens would pity the pain of losing a loved one, the dark clothes in the funeral made the mood heavier.

Under the black umbrella behind the cypress tree on the side outside the funeral, Chester looked at the funeral not far away and his heart seemed to be hollow.

"Ronan."

"Yes, Sir."

"Have they all been found out?" At this moment, Chester was asking about the suspicions aroused by what Alby had said earlier.

In fact, in his heart now, those so-called truths were actually not that important in his mind.

When a person loses everything, it seems that nothing really matters anymore, but Chester, who has always been suspicious, is still asking for the final truth. Ronan, "There are already clues, it will go well."

Meaning that the truth he wanted was not far away from him.

Chester nodded and didn't say anything else.

The thing that touched him the most at this funeral today was Penny in black dress.

The whole time, the child didn't cry or make a fuss, in complete contrast to the time when she was in Vanessa's funeral, and Chester naturally knew what this really meant.

In this fight, the one who was hurt the most was undoubtedly the child.

The people who loved her the most seemed to be gone.

"Go back to Eglinton." Chester turned around.

Ronan followed, "What about Penny?"

Ronan was clearly worried.

After all, now that Zane and Megan were gone, the child was actually not related to Andre in any way by blood. However, when talking about Penny, Chester turned around, and at that moment his eyes were filled with pain. He said, "She..."

He wanted to take the child away, yet would the child go with him?

The moment this question appeared in his mind, Chester seemed to come to the conclusion and answer, no. Penny would not want to leave with him.

She liked her uncle Andre.

Although Chester had the answer in his heart, in the afternoon, after returning from the funeral, Chester still quietly met Penny.

And Penny had an instinctive fear in her eyes towards him, because of the heavy psychological shadow left on the child's heart over in Ingford.

But Chester still asked, "Penny, are you willing to go with daddy?"

It was what Penny had been looking forward, and it seemed that ever since she could remember, Penny had always wanted her daddy and mummy to be together.

She had seen other mums and dads together in such harmony that she naively thought it would make her mum and dad good.

But she was wrong.

At the moment, Penny was holding the doll in her hands when she heard Chester ask if she wanted to go with her daddy. She shook her head and said, "You're not my daddy."

Chester's brain went blank at the moment.

Penny turned away with the doll in her arms, turning back as she took a few steps out and just glanced at Chester.

And it was this detached look that made Chester feel as if his heart had been torn into a big gash.

It was unbearable painful.

When Andre found out that Penny was missing and came out with worry, he saw the way Penny was looking at Chester detachedly.

And now that he saw Chester, he naturally didn't have a good face, and went up and picked Penny up and handed her to the maid on the side. "Penny, go in first, okay?"NôvelDrama.Org holds text © rights.

"Okay, Uncle." Now Penny was very obedient to him.

And Chester was seeing Penny and Andre so close, his heart was even more suffocating and smothering pain.

Such a harmonious scene was supposed to be his, yet now, it was ruined, as if it was all ruined by his own hands. Penny was taken away by the maid.

Andre stepped forward, "What are you still doing here? As you wished, she is gone, they are all gone."

Nowadays, there was nothing left that was related to Alina by blood, except for Penny.

Chester, "..."

Listening to Andre's words, he was powerless to refute.

Andre continued, "I won't let you take Penny away."

Originally, this matter had not occurred to Andre to talk to Chester, but now since Chester had come, then he would officially inform him as well.

Although this child had his bloodline in her body, Alina would never allow it.
