I'm richer than my billionaire ex-husband

Chapter 524 Coax the elders

And when Penny heard Alina say that she would call Chester 'Uncle Chester' from now on, the child looked over at her with momentary disbelief, followed by all aggravation, "Mummy."

"Well, it's dinner later." Alina avoided her resigned gaze, unable to bear looking down.

Any normal mother would want to give her children a full and normal home.

She loved Penny, but there was nothing she could do in the matter of giving her a home.

"Mummy." The child was shrewd, and she had to ask.

The strength of Alina's hug on the child was heavier at this moment, she said, "Mummy will be all you have."

And she would give all her love to this child.

Although it is selfish to think so, there is nothing she can do about Caleb's matter.

...

At the dinner table, Penny ate slowly, and Megan, watching the child not eating much, asked gently, "Penny, is dinner not to your liking?"

"It's delicious, Grandma." Penny responded politely.

Yet anyone, by now, could see that she was unhappy.

Megan subconsciously glanced at Alina, who in turn glanced at Penny, watching the child take small distracted sips.

And she did not feel good inside.

Chester gave hope to Penny.

Yet she could not perpetuate this hope, and since it was bound to be lost sooner or later, it was better not to have it in the first place. After dinner.

Megan spoke to Alina, "Even though the child is small, she has her own thoughts, don't you think?"

But so what?

Taking a deep breath, she said, "Grandma, between me and the Collins family...", and when she said this, Alina suddenly did not dare to say anything further. She and the Collins family, at this point, are probably at loggerheads.

It was therefore completely impossible for Penny and Caleb to have a father-daughter relationship with each other, and as for Chester, she was grateful for his affection for her. And grateful for his kindness to Penny, but because of her relationship with the Collins family, there is actually no way out between them.

"We will probably be at loggerheads." Taking a deep breath, Alina said after all.

That feeling of unease had completely enveloped her and she had sensed it.

Megan sighed, "No matter how you are with the Collins family, but you still have to deal with your relationship with Chester properly."

Megan was watching the two suffered so much back in the day.

Now, how can she endure?

Now, Megan can see that a lot of things started with the previous generation and that's the worst part.

In the mist, it has been revealed little by little.

Alina was silent.

All this time, after clues and hints of these things, the most she did was to be silent, because she didn't know how to respond except to be silent.

It seems that everything is waiting for the result, but in fact she does not know what to do.

...

Vanessa was furious.

The room was a mess of smashing, and when Macie came over, she saw the wreckage.

Vanessa, who was increasingly unable to control her temper during this period, was holding back those rude words at the moment.

Yet her heart was heaving.

"Madam." Macie stepped forward.

Vanessa, "How dare she have both my sons in her hands?"

And Alina had the evidence of what she did, did Alina really want her to kneel and beg her?

Macie said with a sigh, "Madam, relax, perhaps Miss Hughes is not what you think she is."

"Hmph!"

Vanessa now couldn't hear anyone saying anything good for Alina, and gave Macie a fierce glare, who originally wanted to say something else. With such a scowl on Vanessa's face, Macie could only swallow all those words.

Vanessa said, "Tell Macy to come over here."

Macie nodded and walked away.

When Vanessa was left alone, her face was full of gloom at the moment, as well as the unsteady faintheartedness that ran under her eyes. Alina, either forget that memory, or die.

...

Chester has kept a close eye on both Andre and Brooklyn during this time.

However, whether it is Andre or Brooklyn, there is no movement, but it is on a track that he does not know. Declan is investigating deeper and deeper. Alina returned from work this day.

She heard Grandpa's cheerful laughter from deep in the bamboo forest, and when she walked in, she saw Chester playing chess with him.

Megan came out from inside and froze for a moment when she saw Alina, "Back so early today."

Alina looked at Megan, "When did he come?"

The last time they spoke on the phone, the two of them didn't say anything, and it's been a week since then until now since they've been in touch. She didn't expect that he was here.

Megan looked at the harmonious scene between Chester and Zane, "Your grandfather likes him a lot."

Alina, "..."

Grandpa really believes in Chester, right?

"Alina, your grandfather's health is very bad right now, there are many things that you should not let him know about." Megan said from her heart.

He was afraid that Alina would show something in front of Zane.

Alina understood what Megan meant, even if Megan didn't say it, she knew that Grandpa's health was very bad right now.

So no nonsense will be said.

She nodded, "Don't worry, I won't say anything."

There was a time when her mother and her affairs were enough to worry Grandpa, and now how could she bear to let him know more? Megan nodded.

After all, the relationship shown between her and Chester during this period of time was really worrying.

And Zane has always been sensitive when it comes to Alina, so they were all worried that he might not be able to bear it because of this. Megan left.

Alina looked at the harmonious picture between her grandfather and Chester, so beautiful that she wanted to retain the moment. Penny came over with fruit and saw Alina, "Mummy."

"What brings you here?"

"I've come to bring fruit to Great Grandpa." The child said in an understanding way, and then she delivered the fruit over.

When Chester saw her, he dotingly took the fruit tray from her hand and held her in his arms.

At that moment, the smile on Penny's face was so innocent and happy.

Alina closed her eyes, hiding the pain and complexity underneath them.
