Chapter 424: Back to Peaceful City together
-When are you coming back?
They had been in Dorencia for more than half a year, and the SJ Group’s business was handled by him online every day, no matter how important the decisions were, Dylan never went back to discuss them with anyone.
Although Dylan had never said so, Vanessa knew how tired he was.
Having decided to give it a chance, I certainly could not ignore it as before. There were still days ahead, and he had to be reflective.
-I’m not comfortable with you and Candy.
He would take the woman and baby with him if he returned, of course, but if Vanessa did not leave Dorencia behind, he would stay here.
At most, I would spend more time at the computer every day and the company would grow steadily without expanding or exploring new areas. In this way, there would be less to do.
Vanessa thought for a moment and said.
-We will come back to you.
Although Dylan expected it, he did not expect Vanessa to offer it to him without hesitation.
It was a big surprise for him.
-Really? -After the ecstasy, Dylan became a little more apprehensive, “You don’t have to accommodate me, this time the initiative is in your hands. I have to follow your rules and ideas if I want to stay with you and your daughter, so do what you want, you don’t have to force me.
Before, Dylan was an arrogant and domineering man, who never cared what Vanessa had in mind or whether she wanted him or not.
Now that the tables have turned, Dylan rightly believes that Vanessa should do the same as he did.
-Since I am giving you a chance, I am sure we will have a good life together. Your development centre is in Pacifica City and your company is in Pacifica City, how can you always be with me in Dorencia? It’s fine with me, I can work when Candy is a bit older.
At the moment, her daughter is only one month old and still too young. But when she is half a year old, Vanessa will be able to go to work without worrying.
-What happens to your aunt when you come back to me?
-I’ll ask and see. If my mother likes it here, she will stay at the inn with Josephine. If she wants to come back with me, we’ll go together.
-Good.
Dylan nodded, suppressing the joy in his heart as he looked at Vanessa with growing tenderness.
Surely his former arrogance and assertiveness had been misguided; no matter the relationship, one could never force oneself on another person regardless of their feelings.
Time waits for no one.
Vanessa went to the inn that day to talk to Mercedes.
-I will stay here. I’ve been living here for almost a year now and I’ve got used to it. It’s a nice place to live and I can go for a walk every day. It’s easy to get here by plane from Pacifica City, so you can come back if you want to, no problem.
Mercedes said with a smile.
She wanted her daughter to be happy, and since she now had a chance for her and Dylan to mend their relationship, she was certainly in favour of it.
-Very well then. If you stay here, Josefina can keep you company too.
-Don’t worry, I can take care of myself.
Mercedes did not want to keep Vanessa worried about herself and delay her happiness.
The next day, Dylan packed up his things and left for Dorencia with Vanessa and his little girl.
With Josefina and some secret bodyguards here, Dylan and Vanessa would be the first to know if anything happened to Mercedes. This gives Vanessa the peace of mind of not having to keep an eye on things.
Matthew almost cried with joy when he received the news that Dylan was coming back.
God knows how miserable I had been for the past six months.
He had been working long hours every day and late into the night. To make matters worse, Dylan’s timing was uncertain and he was the most frustrated with any decision. If he didn’t wait for Dylan’s return, Mateo thought he would die from overwork.
So on the day of Dylan’s return, Mateo was especially happy to drive someone to the airport.
The moment he saw Dylan, Mateo could barely hold back tears of emotion.
It was clear how much he wanted Dylan to hurry back to the office.
-I’m sorry, but because of my business, Dylan is staying in Dorencia to look after me.
Dylan’s future wife explained herself, and Mateo, of course, didn’t dare complain about anything, waving his hands and saying that everything was fine and that it was his duty.
-Stay one more week.
Dylan patted Mateo on the shoulder and said in a particularly vicious manner.
-All right.
What could Matthew say beyond that?
Watching silently as Dylan carefully protected his wife and young daughter as they climbed into the car, Matthew silently lamented in his place for a while before following them.
As an assistant, he was very pathetic.
Dylan and the two returned to the villa where they had lived before, and the room Brisa had used had long since been restored to its original state and turned into a somewhat abandoned servants’ quarters.
Dylan had renovated the baby’s room, similar to Dorencia’s but bigger, when he found out that Vanessa was pregnant.
The room was particularly well stocked with all sorts of things the baby would need.
-See if anything is missing and tomorrow we’ll go and buy it together.
Dylan said with a smile as he walked into the nursery with his precious good girl in his arms.
-It’s all complete.
Vanessa concluded as she looked around.
-You must be tired after that long flight, go get some rest. It’s time for Candy to go to bed too.
Dylan looked down and gave his little girl a gentle kiss on the forehead.
He took them to his room and watched them fall asleep on the bed before Dylan gently left.
Mateo was already waiting in the studio.
-How is the company doing these days?
-All is well.
Dylan asked, sitting in the expensive chair, his long fingers resting on his jaw.
-What about Orlando? You’re still hearing from him, aren’t you?
-It doesn’t look like he’s going home again.Content from NôvelDr(a)ma.Org.
All the men had not yet acted because Dylan had not given the order.
-It’s time to sort it out.
-What you mean to say is…
-Find a way to invalidate his papers so that he has no way of returning to the country. Since he has escaped, let him stay abroad forever.
Matthew nodded his head, indicating that he knew.
Only at the time no one expected that, just as the people there were planning to make their move, Orlando would disappear when the tourist cruise ship he was on sank.
After a week’s break, Dylan had to return to work, although he did not want to leave his daughter.
If he didn’t go to the office, Mateo feared he wouldn’t be able to handle the pressure of work and would jump out of the building.
-Candy, daddy’s going to work and he’ll be back in the afternoon. Be good at home and don’t leave mummy tired, okay?
Dylan laughed, lowering his head to kiss his little daughter again and again.
