Chapter 423: Giving Others a Chance
-I…
-Don’t say it!
Vanessa had just opened her mouth when she was violently interrupted by Dylan, and looked up in confusion, only then noticing something unusual about the man.
Dylan’s face was hard, his deep, dark eyes full of pain and bitterness. The hands at his side were clenched tightly, and if you looked closely you could see that his fists were shaking.
It was as if he was trying to hold something back.
Vanessa was filled with confusion, not at all sure why Dylan had that look on his face.
-What’s wrong with you?
he asked involuntarily.
Dylan couldn’t contain the emotions that were stirring in his heart. He obviously didn’t want to talk to Vanessa like that, he didn’t want to scare her, but he was inevitably resentful and couldn’t control his emotions at all.
He couldn’t help the stiff smile and the mockery in his eyes:
-Why not?
-Why is it still not working? Haven’t I done enough? Haven’t you seen my true heart and are still not willing to believe me?
-I…
Vanessa spoke for the second time, but unfortunately Dylan once again cut her off.
-Stop, don’t say anything. Dylan laughed bitterly, full of mockery, as if laughing at his own sanctity. His expression froze, his throat felt like it was clogged with something, and his voice faltered when he spoke again.
-I know, I know you hate me and refuse to forgive me.
Dylan closed his eyes and continued.
-After all, I have selfishly used you from the beginning and counted on you. I am not directly responsible for your father’s death, but you should hate me too. I have done so much wrong before, you should hate me and refuse to forgive me. I deserved it, I deserved it all.
I didn’t know what else to do.
He had done what he had to do, but unfortunately the pain from before was so deep that Vanessa still couldn’t forgive him.
It was his own fault, what else could he do?
What had to go, could not stay.
Dylan’s heart was very bitter and his chest felt as if it was clogged with something, as if even breathing hurt so much. Every breath brought pain and bitterness, remorse and self-loathing.
That was all.
Dylan smiled bitterly, wanting to get out of here first, otherwise he was very worried he wouldn’t be able to restrain himself and do something to hurt Vanessa again and disappoint her even more.
-I’m going out first.
Dylan said, without even looking at Vanessa, and striding towards the door.
And that’s when Vanessa came out of shock and realised that Dylan had misunderstood her.
Looking at the man’s helpless back, Vanessa’s heart ached with undeniable pain.
Only when Dylan was about to open the door, Vanessa spoke slowly and said.
-Don’t you want to hear and see what I mean?
-No,” Dylan tried not to turn around and said hoarsely.
-I know what you’re going to say, so don’t bother.
At least, by stopping him in advance, he would not have to listen to Vanessa say the words that had disappointed him himself.
It was better to fool himself, he just didn’t want to hear her say the words to leave.
-Do you really not want to hear it?
Vanessa was getting pissed off.
Since when did Dylan become so secretive? Hadn’t he always been so strong? Whatever it was, he would do it if he wanted to, no matter what anyone else thought.
As long as he wanted to, he could ignore anyone’s feelings.
But what about now?
Vanessa hadn’t even said anything, she had just opened her mouth and given in?
This was not the Dylan Vanessa remembered, not the Dylan she knew.
Sighing helplessly, Vanessa stared at Dylan’s back breathlessly.
-Since you are willing to let him go, there is no need for me to give any more chances. Since you are leaving, I ask you to move quickly and disappear from my presence, never to appear again. I…
-What did you say?
Vanessa’s words were forcefully cut off by Dylan before she could finish them.
He turned violently and took a few steps towards Vanessa, his eyes fixed on her.
Under his eyes were ecstasy, disbelief, apprehension, caution… all sorts of complex emotions intertwined.
Finally, he asked timidly:
-Won’t you let me go?
-When did I say I would let you go?
Vanessa wanted to roll her eyes, but finally restrained herself.
-You… -Dylan looked at Vanessa, suddenly at a loss for words. He stared at her, his eyes going through a variety of emotions before finally settling on joy.
Moreover, Dylan’s eyes were red eyes full of emotion.
-Vanessa, thank you, thank you, really thank you. Thank you for being willing to give me another chance, thank you for letting me stay. And I’m sorry, before it was me who didn’t know about love and didn’t know about feelings. But now I understand, I love you, I love you!
Dylan couldn’t contain his excitement and reached out to take Vanessa in his arms.
The embrace, after a long time, moved them both a little.
Especially Dylan.
He had a sudden feeling of lost and found joy and wanted to hug Vanessa forever.
-Vanessa?
Josefina asked Mercedes as she went out with a sleeping Candy in her arms and looked for Vanessa, but she couldn’t find her.
-Is Candy awake yet?
Just as he said that, Dylan approached with Vanessa.This material belongs to NôvelDrama.Org.
Seeing his daughter staring, Dylan hurried to pick Candy up and kissed her cheeks gently.
Candy’s mouth was spitting bubbles of joy, as if she wanted to greet Dylan.
-Are you hungry, darling? Be good, let’s have some milk.
Dylan held the baby and handed it to Vanessa.
-Mummy will feed you now.
Vanessa smiled tenderly at her daughter, and Dylan watched them in silence, a soft smile of happiness on his face.
Probably because the words were all clear, the atmosphere between the two changed a lot.
Josefina and Mercedes looked at the two of them and also noticed the change between them.
Wow, Dylan finally made it?
Mercedes looked at Vanessa and Dylan and said nothing, but she was relieved that Vanessa had come to her senses, after all Mercedes had seen that Vanessa still had Dylan in her heart.
Now that she had a daughter, Vanessa had to think about the child.
And that’s good, that’s good.
Vanessa had a reliable husband and a lovely daughter, and Mercedes could rest assured.
With this in mind, Mercedes quietly pulls Josefina aside.
When they finished feeding the baby, they realised that they and the woman were the only three people left in the house.
Dylan held Candy and Vanessa smiled at the father-daughter duo, the atmosphere was indescribably warm and beautiful.
