I'm Richer Than My Billionaire ex-husband

Chapter 716 Bribing is useless

Penny was carried out by Chester.

The child was shivering in his arms. Chester frowned and lowered his eyes, then he saw the child well behaved in his arms.

"I'm horrible?" His tone of voice carried with displeasure.

But the girl was really frightened before, otherwise how could she be so scared?

The child's tears fell down, onto the back of Chester's hand, and at that moment Chester could only feel his skin being burned.

He took a sigh.

He was not very good at coaxing children, but seeing her so scared of him was not a good feeling in his heart, after all, who would want their child to be scared of them?

As got in to the car, Chester then handed a doll to Penny, "Princess Elsa?"

"Like it?"

"Yes." Penny hugged the doll, her big eyes full of excitement.

One moment she was scared and now she was so excited that she had forgotten what she was scared of.

Although she really did have a lot of dolls, but kids never thought there were too many toys.

"What a beautiful outfit for a doll, where did you find it?" Penny just felt like she had so many dolls.

But this doll had the prettiest clothes.

"You like it?"

"Yes."

"I buy it for you every day, okay?"

Every day?

Both Mummy and Uncle say she has too many toys so whenever she needs a new one, they don't buy her one.

Now having someone tell her that there will be a new toy every day, she asked in disbelief, "Really?"

"Yes."

"Then..." Penny looked cautiously at Chester, who raised the corners of his mouth into a gentle smile.

That smile made Penny's eyes wobble for a moment.

So a bad man did smile.

"Then it is a deal?" Looking at the less scary Chester in his smile, Penny tried to be bold in negotiating terms.

Looking at the child's tiny finger, Chester's smile, at this moment, became more and more doting.

The moment the two hooked their fingers together, it gave a very comfortable feeling.

Penny, "Why did you buy me a toy? Is it a bribe?"

At those words, the corners of Chester's mouth couldn't help but twist.

"Is that okay?"

His tone was very doting and gentle.

He already had a clean-cut face that was popular with both young and old, and his excessive seriousness before was intimidating, but as he coaxed Penny, his gentleness made it easy to let down Penny's guard.

Penny's hand stroking her chin as she was thinking, which melted Chester's heart.

However, just when it was thought that Penny would think of some answer, the child actually shoved her favourite Princess Elsa into his arms.

Chester, "What are you doing?"

Didn't they make agreement just now?

The child had obviously thought of some unpleasant memories and was now sitting with her head tilted to the side.

Penny, "Better forget it, you're still going to hit my mummy, I'm not taking your bribes."

At this moment, he remembered that the only time he had made a move on Alina, Penny was right in front of him. She was freaking out.

Under Penny's reminder, Chester thought of what he had done in Ingford during that time, and his heart choked with pain. He stroke the top of the child's hair, "I'm sorry."

Penny, "There are some wrongs for which apologies are useless, and I will not forgive you since you even hit my mummy." Now that Chester was not so scary, Penny had finally said what she wanted to say.

Chester had come close to her time and time again, how could she not know what was going on as she was so smart?NôvelDrama.Org: text © owner.

A sharp throbbing pain in his heart.

A child can still say unforgiveness, what about Alina?

She didn't say anything, but she had already made up her mind that she wouldn't forgive him again, right?

Not to mention Alina, in fact even Chester himself could not forgive himself for that period of time. Up till now, Alina had not even given him a chance to explain.

And he was glad that Alina did not want to explain. For there are some things to explain that are powerless.

And now Penny's reminder made it even clearer to him that the past could not be healed by any explanation.

And there are some hurts cannot be faded away as time go by.

Andre had now seen the relevant reports, so immediately he made a call to Caleb, hoping that he would not let Alina see the reports.

When Andre saw the report, his first thought was whether Alina could bear it.

He didn't dare to test her heart.

The second call was to Chester, "Why did you go to pick up Penny?"

Regarding the coexistence between Annie and Penny, Andre believed that Chester knew how much Alina really minded.

"Andre, some of the obvious things are nothing more than expediency. Are you not clear?" For such brainless questioning by Caleb and Andre, Chester's tone, at last, could not suppress the repression in it. Andre's heart jerked even harder when he heard the word 'expediency'.

"Do you know what consequences your expediency will bring?" Andre shouted angrily over the phone.

He thought he had everything under control? Yet some things were not as simple as he thought.

Chester, "I just want her to live now."

Andre's heart stiffened even more violently when he heard Chester's words.

Chester now only wanted to have Alina live, and as for the ways and means, it did not matter at all.

"Then you keep an eye on Annie, that woman is no slouch." Annie would not behave, there were plenty of tricks up her sleeve.

Andre knew the past between Annie and Alina, that Alina would not want her bone marrow, and that Annie would not be good enough to save Alina.

Andre's concern was naturally known to Chester.

"Don't worry." He knew that and would not let things go out that easily.

At this, Andre was slightly relieved.

After all, Annie had a lot of little tricks up her sleeve, and that woman was so ruthless at such a young age that they could not underestimate.

When it came to the choice of marrying Chester or her sister, she could have chosen to marrying Chester regardless.

Naturally, she knew how dangerous Chester was, and she wouldn't be unprepared for anything.
