Chapter 430: Time Flies
Obviously, Dylan had noticed Benjamin’s gaze.
The two men’s gazes met in the air, and Dylan narrowed his eyes, his sharp eyes carrying an icy chill, like the cold air that comes in from winter, chilling people to the bone.
However, Benjamin was not deterred.
What I couldn’t understand was why Vanessa had broken up with Dylan.
Obviously, he had done many things to hurt her.
-Benjamin, I’m starving, are you going to eat?
Isabel, unhappy that Benjamin’s attention was focused on her former lover, immediately pouted.
Benjamin stood impassively, staring at Dylan as he too climbed into the car and disappeared in front of him. He couldn’t tell how he felt, after all, Vanessa was the first girl he had ever been attracted to and had always had in his heart.
-Benjamin, you’d better give up, she’s already married and has children. I don’t think she was honest with you in the first place, otherwise why did she marry so quickly and have a child? What’s so good about this woman, Benjamin, that you can’t get her out of your mind? What’s the matter with me? I’m younger than she is, and I’ve been with you longer than she has.
Isabel gave Benjamin a sharp tug and made him look at herself.
His eyes were full of anger and resentment.
It was obvious that she was the most compatible with Benjamin, so why should he pine for that woman!
-Go away.
Benjamin spoke coldly, as if he hadn’t heard her, and took the lead in the restaurant.
-Benjamin, wait for me.
Isabel pouted in frustration, stomped her foot and ran off after Benjamin.Content is property © NôvelDrama.Org.
Dylan looked in the rearview mirror at Vanessa in the back of the car as he drove, looking as if he wanted to say something.
Of course I knew what was happening to Dylan.
Had it been earlier, this man would have demanded that she never see Benjamin again, that she pretend not to see or meet him in a chance encounter.
But now he knew how to be respectful and more tolerant.
-What do you want to ask?
-Nothing.
Dylan was worried that, if he asked, Vanessa would mistake him for still holding her back as before.
-I met Benjamin while I was waiting for you with Candy in my arms, and I haven’t had any contact with him since I left for Dorencia. I was very surprised to meet him today.
Vanessa said in a calm tone.
-He… still has feelings for you.
Dylan thought for a moment and spoke anyway.
Only his words were no longer forceful, but tinged with hesitation.
Vanessa found his nervousness quite amusing.
-There’s no way he and I can be together. He wants to get me into his heart, and there’s nothing I can do about it. The only thing I can do is to stay away from him and not contact him. In time, he will forget him too.
Dylan said no more, but he was in a very good mood.
That was Vanessa’s answer and promise.
-Is Candy asleep yet?
-I’m going to sleep.
-Then I’ll drive slower.
Dylan said, braking the car.
The car was quiet, but not uncomfortable. The two men had changed and were more natural together, peaceful and serene.
The days flowed by like water and it was time for Candy to turn half a year old.
By six months, the baby had learned to roll over, could lift its head when lying on its back and could even sit up occasionally. However, its spine is not yet fully developed, so it cannot sit for long periods of time.
The baby is getting cuter and cuter. His face is pink and soft, he has big eyes with long eyelashes and his eyes are pure black. They look like two black pearls, clean and pure.
-Eeee.
The baby was on the carpet, trying to get closer to the toy that Dylan had deliberately placed a short distance away.
Crawling was no easy task for her, and she was tired after a few steps on her back.
Dylan couldn’t help but smile when he saw his daughter lying motionless on the carpet.
-Candy, come to Daddy.
-Eeewwww.
The little baby looked at him and made a sound, as if in protest.
Vanessa came out of the kitchen and, seeing that the two were still playing, spoke helplessly.
-It’s getting late, you have a particularly important meeting today, don’t you?
-There is no hurry.
As there was no rush, Mateo was busy in the office.
But Dylan still hadn’t arrived, and no one was answering the phone, which was killing Mateo.
-Well, hurry up and go to the office.
Dylan looked reluctantly at Candy, especially reluctant to leave.
Dylan just couldn’t tear himself away from his little girl for a minute.
-I’ll take her to the office with me this afternoon, OK?
In the end, Vanessa made a reluctant promise.
-Yes!
This time Dylan agreed.
She picked up her baby girl and kissed her soft cheeks before handing her over to Vanessa, putting on her coat and grabbing her things to head out the door.
-Say goodbye to dad.
Vanessa said with a smile as she lifted Candy’s little hand and waved it at Dylan.
-Goodbye Candy, goodbye Candy Mummy.
Dylan finally walked out the door.
Vanessa put Candy back on the carpet and handed her the toys her daughter wanted to play with on the floor.
-Your father loves you very much. I wonder what he will do when you grow up, whether he will forbid any one to marry you.
Actually, thinking about it, it seemed likely.
Vanessa smiled and shook her head, thinking that she was really thinking too far ahead.
Candy is half a year old and almost ready to start work.
SJ Group.
-Sir, you are here at last.
Looking at Dylan, Mateo seemed to have seen a saviour.
-What, you can’t handle your job without me?
-You know how important today’s meeting is. It is about the direction and level of development of SJ in the next five years. How can I not be anxious if you are not here for such an important meeting?
Mateo said with a look of helplessness.
Dylan arrived late and left early every day since he had a daughter.
-Well, I’m here now, aren’t I? -said Dylan, stopping again suddenly before entering the office and turning around. The Cazalla Group side has followed its original pattern, hasn’t it?
-Yes.
-Get all the information about the Cazalla Group for the last year, the projects it has been working on, the investments it has made, the income it has obtained in the last years, etc. … You will need all that.
Mateo was speechless.
-My workload was going to increase, but why did he suddenly need so many details when he had always known about the development of the Cazalla Group? -Mateo.
