Alina tried hard not to think about Johnny, but her mind was filled with thoughts of him, lingering on their shared memories and the complicated emotions that had entangled their lives. Johnny's actions infuriated her, and her heart seemed to ache from the frustration.

Alina got out of the car at the entrance, planning to go inside, but a voice stopped her.Copyright Nôv/el/Dra/ma.Org.
"Alina!" Kennard urgently called out to her; his voice filled with concern and relief.
"Kennard? What are you doing here?" Alina asked, genuinely surprised by his unexpected presence.
Alina hadn't expected to see Kennard. He looked exhausted as if he hadn't rested well. His eyes reflected the torment he had endured during their time apart.
"Alina, I saw the news online, and by comparing the background in the photos, I guessed you live here. Alina, are you okay?" Kennard's voice cracked with worry, his concern evident in his tired eyes. Kennard looked worried. He had been searching for Alina since the wedding, but she had disappeared.
These past few days had been agonizing for him, with Alina constantly on his mind.
Now that he finally had information about Alina, he rushed over immediately.
"I'm fine, perfectly fine," Alina assured him, her voice tinged with a mixture of gratitude and sadness.
"I know those news online are rumors. I believe you, Alina. We didn't have a chance to talk properly after the wedding. Where have you been these six years? I... I missed you a
"Kennard, I made it clear last time. You and I are not possible," Alina said, her voice filled with a mix of sadness and determination. She knew what Kennard meant, but she and Kennard couldn't be together.
"I know you're married and have a child, but I don't care!" Kennard had been thinking a lot these days.
If Alina divorced, he would be willing to marry her.
"Alina, six years ago, there were many things I didn't say clearly. I don't want always..."
to miss this chance. I want to tell you that I've
"Kennard!" Alina interrupted him. "I told you clearly last time. Don't bring it up again. We are not possible."
"Why? I said I don't care about your child. Even if you have something with someone else, I don't mind. Do you think it's unfair to me? It's fine. I also have a child. I'll let Sybil give birth to the child, and then we can raise it together!" Alina furrowed her beautiful brows. Kennard seemed to have gone mad, talking nonsense.
The Kennard of their childhood was like her older brother, gentle and refined to her.
The current Kennard was like a stranger she didn't recognize.
"Kennard, just stop. I will pretend that I didn't hear what you said. You should go back." "Why? Alina, give me a chance. His eyes were red as he spoke.

"Why can other men have you? Even Channing, that old man, can have you. Why not me? No one in this world loves you more than I do, Alina. I've liked you for many years. I only love you in my life."
"You're talking nonsense!" There was nothing between her and Channing.
"I'm not talking nonsense. I'm sober. It's because I love you so much that I don't care about your past. It's okay, Alina. We can have another child, many children. I will be better than any other man you've been with. I guarantee that you won't forget me after just one time; even Sybil said I'm the best."
Kennard, at that moment, seemed like a lunatic. He even wanted to kiss Alina.
Alina felt thoroughly disgusted. She didn't expect Kennard to become like this.
