Chapter 193
Chapter 193 For the past three years , not a single moment has passed without my thoughts consumed by revenge .
Countless days and nights , Ive gritted my teeth and pushed through .
Now , Ive built my own power , my own company .
Finally , I can face all those who once hurt me .
Snowflakes drified past my eyes , yet my gaze remained unwavering Mom , all the wrongs you suffered , I will make them right I clenched my teeth and made a vow before my mothers tombstone .
an knew what had been weighing on my heart these past three years , and now he spoke up , Sienna , dont worry .
Ill protect Yvonne .
I wont let anyone hurt her .
No one can hurt me anymore , I replied slowly , my voice full of confidence and certainty .
I wasnt the same soft target from three years ago anymore .
True .
Dylan nodded , a smile playing on his lips .
Yvonne , arent you sleeping walking anymore ? Yeah .
After having the baby , Ive been healing a lot , I said , surprised by my own words .
Before , back when I was still single and had those endless nightmares with Lucy about my fears of motherhood , I thought raising a child would be an unbearable torment .
Of course , in many ways , it still was .
But alongside that torture , I was healing .
The childs pure , unconditional love was slowly mending the cracks in my heart .
wown It was precisely this love that kept me going and helped me carve out a space of my own in a foreign land .
Just as I thought of this , Marlons call came through .
When are you coming back ? Ill pick you up .
No need .
Dylan and I will head back in a bit .
Its snowing , and its cold up here .
As I spoke , I instinctively tilted my head to the sky .
The bodyguard holding an umbrella behind us took a small step back , giving me more room to look up at the vast , falling snowflakes .
The scene was like a painting .
Marlons upset that Dylans always following you ? he asked , his voice tinged with irritation .
Hes just worried about me , I smiled and responded .
Three years ago , when Dylan traveled abroad with us , Marlon gave him a very strange look during the flight .
In the days that followed , the two of them couldnt stand each other , and I often had to mediate .
Marlon paused for a moment before getting to the point .
The Wavepeak Stadium land I mentioned to you earlier is going up for auction next week .
Ive got something else to deal with , so youll have to go .
He and I co founded Jethive Group , and hes the companys vice president , deeply involved in all aspects of its operation .
Yet now , he was handing this responsibility off to me ? 17 Chapter 193 I was a little surprised .
Me This wasnt abroad Elysiumville was too familiar to me .
If I made an appearance , the entire city would likely go into a frenzy .
Marlon knew this too , but he wasnt worried in fact , he was almost eager .
Since youve come back , its time for a grand entrance , he said with a smile .
I glanced at him , no hesitation in my decision .
Alright , Ill handle it .
Come back soon .
Well have dinner together tonight , Marlon said before hanging up .
I put my phone away , and Dylan , looking at me , asked , Did he talk badly about me again ? Yeah , told you to get a real job , I nodded .
Youre a PhD in psychology .
Arent you going to put that to use ? Ive been putting it to good use these past three years , Dylan said confidently .
Youre not sleep walking anymore , you dont feel nauseous at mealtimes .
Thats all thanks to me .
I remembered how tough those first months had been , adjusting to a new culture , morning sickness , and fluctuating hormones .
But Dylan was there every step of the way , helping me , guiding me , until things gradually started improving Youve really earned your title of hero , I teased him .
Maybe I should open a psychology clinic for you ? I had always wanted to repay his favor , Dylan furrowed his brow at the suggestion , then shook his head .
Not yet .
I dont have enough experience .
Im afraid Id ruin my own reputation .
Lets talk about it later Alright .
Whenever youre ready , let me know , I said , agreeing easily .
These three years , Id learned to relax both within myself and in my relationships with others .
I no longer forced anything : 1 let things flow naturally .
Dont worry , I wont be shy with you , Dylan said , his face always glowing with hopeful smiles .
He was always happy , lighting up everything around him .
We said our goodbyes to my mothers grave and began our descent .
The cemetery was halfway up the mountain .
The car could drive to the entrance , but we still had to walk for about ten minutes to reach the gravesite .
The road couldve been built directly into the cemetery , but they hadnt , perhaps to allow the living to express their sincerity toward the departed .
Before long , the snow began to fall even heavier .
Dylan took a larger umbrella from the bodyguard and held it over both of us .
The snow was so thick , I could hardly see the path ahead .
And at that moment , Hayden appeared , holding a black umbrella , coming toward us from afar .
In the heavy snow , the scene was blurred , as if wrapped in a fog .
Both of us had large umbrellas that completely blocked out the view , and the wet , slippery ground made everyone cautious 2/3 Chapter 193 with their steps .
To be honest , on a snowy day like this , no one would pay attention to the stranger walking past , especially Hayden , who always haid someone in his heart , oblivious to the world around him .
But in the brief moment we passed each other , both of our hearts seemed to stir .
Hayden lightly touched his chest , a frown knitting his brows .
That fleeting pain he felt what was it ? But he didnt stop , continuing to walk forward .
I , too , felt something stir in my chest .
I paused .
This feeling … it was unfamiliar .
Dylan noticed my sudden stop and looked at me curiously .
Whats wrong ? His voice was soft , quieter than the falling snowflakes .
I shook my head and quickly composed myself .
Maybe Im just hungry .
Didnt eat much for lunch , been busy with work .
Well , lets head back then , Dylan said with a smile , holding his hand out .
Yvonne , lets walk together .
Itll be faster .
Dont underestimate me , I chuckled .
You forget , were going skiing later! Slow down , Dylan called out behind me .
Youll get soaked in the snow .
I smiled , walking ahead with no particular thought , just trying to ease the awkwardness of rejecting him .
Some people were just beyond love .
Having walked quite a distance ahead , Hayden suddenly turned back when he heard our laughter and chatter behind him .
