Become Filthy Rich After Divorce

Chapter 9 Collins family's hostess?

When Alina heard that, she was even more shaken.

Not while he was alive?

Without waiting for her to speak, the old Collins continued, "You know my health, I won’t live for that

long. When I am alive, I always like to have a lively home."

"Grandpa, don't say that, I..."

"And I know it's selfish to ask, but the thought of me not being able to make you the mistress of our

Collins family, not making you happy, I am upset."

The old Collins said with a sigh.

Alina was silent.

For a moment, she didn't know what to say.

When she was eighteen, her grandmother fell down the stairs and was admitted to the hospital, and

her mother and father were killed in a car accident halfway to the hospital because they were in a hurry

to get there.

Her grandmother, who was in the hospital, got the news and eventually didn't make it through, leaving

Alina to her best friend Grandpa Max in her final days.

And in her twentieth year, Grandpa Max was seriously ill hospitalized, when in the hospital thought he

was dying, but also because he was worried about Alina, he let Caleb marry her.

Caleb was so dutiful that he had the wedding arranged almost immediately.

To this day, Alina still remembered how Grandpa Max treated her like a princess during her stay at

Collins Castle.

Grandpa Max was afraid that she might be sensitive.

This was the only thing that gave made her feel that she was not an orphan after her mom, dad and

grandmother was gone.

How could she bear to refuse such a request?

"Okay, Grandpa, I promise you. Don't say things like that to scare me, I'm very timid." Alina obediently

crouched on the old Collins' knee and finally agreed.

And she was telling the truth, for she had lost so much.

So when the loved ones around her say such things, she feels like she is going to lose the most

important again.

"Good girl."

"Grandpa, I want to go back to live at Mulherd Manor." It's just too depressing for her to be here.

And although she promised her grandfather, she still didn't want to have too much association and

involvement with the Collins.

The old Collins knew she was uncomfortable living here and eventually nodded.

"Fine." the old Collins paused and added, "But you must visit me often."

"Okay."

Alina was relieved to see the old Collins nod.

This Collins Castle really depressed her too much.

Coming out of the old Collins’ place, Mrs. Collins was still sitting in the front room, her face was as cold

and serious as ever.

This was the image Alina was most familiar with, as if had never seen her smile since she met Mrs.

Collins.

"What are you doing?" Vanessa saw Alina coming out with her bags and stood up.

Alina's tone was respectful and detached, "I told Grandpa that I will live in Mulherd Manor, so I'll take

my leave, ma'am."

Vanessa didn't say anything more.

However, the moment Alina turned around, Vanessa spoke up, "You are Caleb’s wife, and I hope that in

the future, you will behave like a hostess."

Alina, "Ma'am."

"Go back." Alina didn't finish her sentence before Vanessa interrupted, clearly not wanting to say

anything further.

Alina wanted to say something, but in the end did not say it, looked at Vanessa who had already turned

around, turned back to leave.

She was the mistress of the Collins family before, but she she got? novelbin

She did not want that position anymore.
