Dylanâs expression turned sorrowful.
He gazed at her and said with a raspy voice, âThen letâs try to be friends! Let me help look after Leyla and the new baby⦠Please, for their sake, let me be a part of their lives!â
Tears welled up in Oliviaâs eyes.
This was utterly humiliating for her.
Her love life had been chaotic.
When Dylan came along, she thought she had finally found the right man.

But because of Gina, a stranger, he failed her.
His words pierced Oliviaâs heart like a knife.
A weak smile formed on her lips.
She responded, âThey donât need a father! My family and I can provide for them.
Dylan, times have changed.
Being a single mother isnât a curse these days.
There are many single mothers out there thriving!â
After making her statement, Olivia was ready to walk away.
But suddenly, Dylan grabbed her wrist and pleaded softly, âOlivia, please, just give me one more chance to make things right.
How about we try again, just once more? Maybeâ¦â
âI donât think itâs necessary!â Olivia declared indifferently.
âIâve already given you plenty of chances, Dylan! Thatâs more than enough.
â
It wasnât that Olivia was completely against trying again with Dylan, but all her past attempts always left her feeling sad or disappointed.
Yet, if forced to choose, Olivia would prefer to completely let go of Dylan⦠She still hoped that he could live well.
After all, disappointment might fade with time, but sadness could linger for a lifetime.
This was why she was so determined to leave him.
In the end, Dylan was unable to sway Oliviaâs decision.
In a corridor elsewhere, Edwin watched Olivia walk away and then leaned against the wall, visibly relieved.
He reached out and pulled Laura into a silent embrace.
After a moment, Laura murmured, âWhy didnât you intervene if you were against Olivia getting back with Dylan?â
Under the glow of the chandelier, Edwin looked strikingly handsome.
Despite their years of marriage, Lauraâs fascination with him hadnât faded.
Edwin Looked down at her and asked quietly, âReally, did Olivia care about him at all?â
Laura shook her head in response.
Edwin laughed softly and said, âIâve told you, thereâs only so much I have control of! Plus, now that Dylan has moved to Czanch to win Olivia back, should I disrupt our lives too? Move all our businesses to another city just to keep an eye on him?â
Laura was speechless, staring at him in awe.
Edwin caressed her cheek gently and said, âOh, you silly girl!â
