I'm richer than my billionaire ex-husband -
Chapter 410 She has his tenderness
It was eleven o'clock when Chester returned. After washing up, Alina had planned to sleep with Penny.
Yet then she saw see the barbecue that Chester brought back, she got hungry.
"My mother used to like it the most." Alina said with great emotion as she ate the familiar taste.
Her mother was a very casual person and didn't put too much emphasis on what she could and couldn't eat, taking her daughter with her whenever she wanted to eat.
Her grandmother used to scold her for this, but time and time again she bought it back and ate it together, but because her grand mother was too strict with it, at night the two of them used to sneak out and eat out by themselves.
"You are going back to Shirling soon and won't be able to eat this for a long time, so have some before you go." The man said dotingly.
Alina did not expect him to be so thoughtful, and the smile at the corners of her eyes grew thicker at this moment.
"Aren't you going to eat?"
"Watch you eat."
Alina notice that every time Chester watched her eat, he would have a feeling of satisfaction.
If she was the one who watched other people eat good food and couldn't eat it herself, it would have been hard on her heart.
The window is blown open.
The cool breeze poured in, and at that moment Alina only felt her brain ache. She had often felt this way since she had given birth.
It was as if the wind, as it were, could get inside her head.
"What's wrong?" Seeing her frown, Chester came up and sat beside her as Alina said, "I have a headache."
"Does it hurt again?"
With that, the man's warm fingertips then gently placed on her temple, Alina, "Whenever it's cold, it hurts."
Especially since the headaches have been getting more and more frequent these days, and although she had a check, she did not have medicine.
Alina was still thinking that when she went back to Shirling, she would have to go and prescribe some medicine.
The jacket with the man's warmth wrapped her up, and a gentle man's voice came overhead, "Better now?"
"Yes."
His coat, really warm and toasty, was so comforting.
The force on the temple in particular is just right, not a single point heavier, and it makes her feel a rush of relief.
Alina doesn't know since when there has been such a close proximity between her and Chester, or was it after Yee City? Or, before that.
Alina is very thin, but her appetite is somewhat amazing, when she meets something she likes to eat, she can eat almost all of it. Looking at her like glutton, the man smiled even more dotingly.
"Is the food over in Shirling good?" Chester asked softly.
And Alina, when asked about the stuff in Shirling, said, "I rarely eat out, Grandma Megan's cooking is very good."
So to say if it's good or not, she eats the most of Grandma Megan's nourishing stuff, so....
Chester nodded, he knew more or less the tastes over in Shirling, and she was used to it after being able to be there for so many years.
Feeling that she had eaten too much, she dragged Chester for a walk in Mulherd Manor's small garden, worried that she might get a headache if it was too cold, Alina went back to her room. Penny was probably really exhausted and had slept until now since she came back.
Alina got under the covers and held the girl in her arms, finally, everything was going to calm down..
Early the next morning.
Marry helpped Alina pack her things for her return to Shirling, many things Alina would not take with her.
Although she hadn't thought of coming back to Ingford after going back to Shirling, Mulherd Manor was the place where Grandma and Mum had lived in the end.
She wanted to leave more traces of herself here, as if the traces of her mother and father and grandmother were always here.
After explaining to Marry what to pack, Alina and Chester went to the cemetery.
Yellow and white chrysanthemums placed in front of the headstone.
"Back then, after Mum and Dad died, Grandma bought all the graves next to them as well, and had made up her mind then that she would be buried with them." As she said this, there was some bitterness in Alina's tone.
Chester's body tightened.
The hands gripping Alina's shoulders all tightened.
"Back then, how did you get over?" Apart from Alina going mad, Chester was abroad for almost everything else.
And at that time, there was no one to tell him what was going on in her world.
At this moment, Chester wondered how exactly Alina had come to be at that time.
He hated himself for not being there for her at that time.
And when talking about how exactly she came to be, Alina took a deep breath and said, "At that time, Max was always by my side."
Looking back today, no matter what happened to her, Alina was grateful to Max in her heart.
After all, it was almost always Max who was around during her most difficult times.
"Grandpa was always looking after you."
"Yes." If Max hadn't been around at that time, Alina wouldn't have known just how she would have pulled through.
When she thought of Max saying sorry to her before he died, she felt sad inside.
How could she blame him?
"After I came back, I've never dared to come here, and this time, finally, I'm here." Alina looked at the photo on the tombstone. Mum was smiling so beautifully.
The eyes were almost identical to the look of her grandmother.
Chester wrapped her into his arms, obviously trying to dissipate the sadness in her heart in this way.
Just as the two of them were about to say something else, Alina's mobile phone vibrated.
It was Marry calling.
Picked up, "Marry."
"Lady Alina, it's not good, Miss Penny has disappeared." The panicked and crying voice of Marry came from the other side of the phone. And in Alina's heart, there was a thud.
The child is missing?
Thinking of something, at this moment Alina only felt her heart spreading suffocation.
The path down the hill was not easy, and if it wasn't for Chester holding on to her, she almost rolled down the steps several times.
The moment she got into the car, she still said to Chester, "Go replace Caleb."
The moment she opened her mouth, her tone was unsteady.
The child was missing in Ingford and she could not think of anyone else other than Caleb.
