He walked towards her slowly.
Meanwhile, Olivia turned to face him, her expression grave as she addressed him.
âDylan, have you reached a decision? If you want Leyla and me, you need to step up and be a responsible father.
I canât handle the uncertainty of you changing your mind down the road.
If my heart still belonged to someone else, we wouldnât have walked down the aisle in the first place! Our marriage should be built on mutual trust.
Donât you agree?â
Dylan remained silent when he heard what she said.
Instead, he opted to pull Olivia into a tight embrace.
Olivia didnât resist, leaning against him silently.
At this moment, neither spoke a word.
After a while, Dylan felt something warm and damp on his shoulder and realized Olivia was crying.
Her sobs were soft, filled with a sense of resignation.
She didnât want to just forgive Dylan so easily.
But what choice did she have? She was still deeply in love with the man who had once brought her so much joy.
As the night deepened, a hush settled over the surroundings, enveloping everything in silence.
Dylan cradled Olivia in his embrace, the passing moments stretching into an eternity.
Clad in a black robe, Edwin held a goblet in his hand, silently observing the pair from the balcony of his room.
Generosity wasnât a trait Edwin readily attributed to himself.
Once upon a time, he would have swiftly intervened if Dylan dared to break Oliviaâs heart, just as Marcus had done to Leonel once.
However, the situation between Dylan and Olivia was far from simple.

It was evident to Edwin that Dylan still harbored feelings for Olivia.
Moreover, Dylan had narrowly escaped death in the accident.
With his gaze directed downward, Edwin contemplated silently.
Perhaps Dylan deserved a second chance after everything he had gone through!
When Laura stepped onto the balcony, Dylan had already descended the stairs and slipped into the awaiting car.
Turning towards Laura, Edwin enveloped her in his arms, his chin resting lightly on her shoulder as he teased, âLaura, your dear Dylan has returned.
Are you thrilled? Brace yourself for his frequent appearances from now on.
Isnât that just splendid?â
Lauraâs cheeks flushed instantly upon hearing Edwinâs words.
Despite her age, Laura couldnât help but feel a tad embarrassed whenever Edwin teased her.
She nibbled on her lip and retorted softly, âWhy should I be ecstatic?â After a brief pause, she continued.
âMoreover, Dylan and I are merely friends from the past, Edwin.
Itâs hardly cause for celebration.

With a gentle smile, Edwin planted a kiss on her cheek.
âWell then, letâs go back to sleep.
