But now, she was determined not to accept Dylanâs apology.
She had made it clear to him that he no longer had any chance of getting back with her.
But still, Dylan took a step forward.
In response, Olivia took a step back.
Dylanâs eyes became filled with disappointment.
âOlivia,â he pleaded, âI know that no matter what I say or do, it would never make up for my mistakes, but please give me a chance to take care of you and our child.
â
But Olivia swiftly retorted.
âThe child is fine.
We donât need you to take care of us!â
She paused for a while before continuing, âPlease donât come here again.
It was not easy for Leyla to forget about you and move on.
Now, youâve ruined everything by showing up here.
â
Dylan turned pale when he heard this.
âOlivia, you want to stop our children from seeing me and deprive them of a father figure?â he asked in disbelief.
A N G E L A âs L I B R A R Y
âFather?â Olivia scoffed.
âWhat kind of father are you? Have you forgotten who caused all this??!â
She was clearly very angry.
But she tried to hold back her anger and caressed her belly affectionately.
After a while, she said in a low voice, âApportioning blame is futile.
We are done, Dylan! And please take your gifts with you and never come back again!â
With that, she turned around and went back inside the house.
Dylan watched as she left.
It was normal for women to feel uncomfortable during pregnancy.
In Oliviaâs case, her ankles would usually be swollen, and sometimes, she would even find it difficult to sleep well.
When she was pregnant with Leyla, Dylan used to soak her feet in warm water every night and give her a massage before she went to bed.
Now, he could only wonder how she was coping.
Olivia knew he was watching her as she walked away.
She felt very sad.
They had been together for so many years, and now they broke up while she was pregnant with his child.
The hurt she felt was very deep.
Now, Dylan had found out the truth about the pregnancy.
So what?
It still wouldnât change anything.
When Mark saw Olivia coming back inside the house, he immediately put down his fork and asked her, âHas he left?â
âI donât know.
â Olivia shrugged.
âBut I donât think he will try and enter.
â
Mark couldnât help but sigh.
âStop thinking about those unhappy things, my dear,â Cecilia said comfortingly as she served Olivia a bowl of chicken soup.
âJust make sure to keep yourself happy during your pregnancy so that the baby will turn out to be beautiful and healthy, just like our dear Leyla.
â
Leyla was eating when she heard them mention her name.
In response, she said in a soft voice, âUncle Dylan is unhappy and unhealthy.
