Chapter 19
“But these dislikes, in fact, are not that important anymore, after all, the person who will spend the rest of their life with her is you, and I will never see her again in this lifetime.”
Word by word, like a blunt knife, it cut open Calvin’s heart and flesh, causing him such pain that even his breathing became heavy for a
few moments
Tears welled up in his eyes, and his voice faintly carried a sense of unwillingness.
“What about me? You don’t want to see me again either, do you?
“How could it be?
The first sentence is like a painkiller injection, while the second sentence directly injects poison into it.
“You have indeed raised me, uncle. On every special occasion and holiday, I will never forget to greet and pay my respects to my
When saying this, Shyla had a respectful expression on her face.
No matter how Calvin observed and stared, he couldn’t see any interest or liking
She had completely and wholeheartedly regarded him as an elder with respect
This conclusion was like a hurricane, blowing away the faint hope in his heart directly
It was not until he witnessed this fact with his own eyes that a strong impulse surged through his body, urging him to break through numerous barriers, disregard societal judgments, and confront the desires in his heart.
The suppressed, boiling, and burning desires that were buried deep inside turned into a raging storm at this moment, completely clouding his mind.
“I am only ten years older than you; we have no blood relation at all, this is what you said, don’t you remember?”
Shyla certainly remembered,
Thinking back to her stubbornness back then, she neither felt regret nor shame, only feeling a bit foolish, foolishly naive
She did not deny it, she just answered him with his own words from back then.
“I was only seventeen at that time, I didn’t understand what liking meant, nor could I distinguish between love and family affection, so
It’s understandable that I said such rebellious words.”
“But uncle, you are thirty–one years old this year, can’t you tell the difference?
This sentence puzded Calvin
In his eyes, there first flashed a hint of confusion, followed by a smile full of self–irony.
She spoke nothing but the truth, and he couldn’t deny a single word.
The person who pushed her away with his own hands was him, and it was also him who regretted and wanted her back
He was ten years older than her, but he was not even as good as her at the age of seventeen.
Love is not firm, and breaks are not free–spirited.
Lara, who obediently finished cating the cookies, pulled her hand and whispered to her that she was full
Shyla took out a few banknotes from her wallet and placed them on the table, then she picked up the little girl and turned around
“Lara needed to rest, so I took her home first.”
Just as I stepped out of the door, a suppressed and low–pitched questioning came from behind.
So, you didn’t come home with me, did you?
Shyla’s footsteps paused, her voice faint and her pace slo
“Go back, uncle, don’t you remember? Today is your wedding day, Ro
wedding day, Rosa is still waiting for you.
After speaking, she stepped down the wooden stairs, steadily and securely, one step at a time.
There came the sound of glass bowls and cups breaking in the room.
Lara in her arms clung tightly to Shyla’s neck, her eyes filled with fear.
“Shyla, it seems like uncle was angry.
Shyla gently patted her back and cooed softly.
“It’s okay, I used to make
e him angry.
angry every day, but
hit anyone, don’t be afraid.”
Wishing you a happy marriage.”
“He was so fierce, luckily mom brought you back, and from now on Lara will protect you!”
Watching her shake her head and speak these words, Shyla felt a warmth in her heart.
It was already 2 o’clock in the afternoon when Ariella arrived home. She took Lara and brought her back to the room for a nap.
Due to the incident of falling into the water, Lara was terrified and couldn’t sleep. She approached her mother and started talking about trivial matters.
“Mom, is Shyla never going to leave again in the future? I don’t want ther to go back to uncle”
