Chapter 1062: Chapter 1089

Renee stayed quiet for a while. “I shall not keep you any longer as it’s getting late. Besides, I still have to leave for the hospital to take care of my aunt.”

“Sure. I’ll take my leave then.”

Sophia felt uneasy after she left. Out of her own selfish desire, she compared both Sheila and Renee, only to discover that each of them had their unique strengths.

She sighed. “Davin has been rejecting the idea of being with Sheila all these years. Turns out it’s because of this woman and the past they had. Why didn’t he tell me?”

Hearing Sophia’s sigh, Ms. Lawrene quickly responded, “Ma’am, Ms. Hadley seems like a decent woman, unlike those who yearn for wealth and status. Perhaps she truly loves Mr. Seet and will keep her distance in order to grant him a blissful life.”

Sophia sighed again. “I wonder how solid is the relationship between Davin and Sheila? If he had to make a choice between the two women, who do you think he will choose?”

If Davin chooses to stay with Sheila, there’s nothing Renee can do about it even if she feels aggrieved.

However, if the woman that he loves is Renee, it will be a struggle to reconcile his relationship with Sheila.

Please, Davin, don’t make a bad decision. Let the past stays in the past.

“Let’s go home. I could only hope that Renee won’t pester Dave anymore.”

Coincidentally, Davin got back the same time they arrived at the Seet Residence. Sophia instructed him to meet her in the study room. I must verify Renee’s statements.

Also, I need to ask him about his plans.

Davin sighed. “Mom, what Renee said is true. When she left me, I deliberately investigated the woman who opposed our relationship then and found out that she was a random person Renee hired to impersonate as her mother. I couldn’t figure out why she did this but I have a strong hunch that she still loves me deeply and it was the same for me. She couldn’t let go of me and I was hoping for her return. That’s the reason why I couldn’t accept Sheila.”

“What about now? Dave, do you love Renee or Sheila?”

He pondered over the question. “Mom, they both have different personalities. Sheila is proactive and very determined to chase after the things that she wants. On the other hand, Renee is considerate and she puts others first. Yet, I can never see through her. Had she not left me, I’d have persevered through the relationship. It’s been ten years since she left me. I don’t know if she felt inferior or if she had no faith in my love for her, she doubted we could truly be together… For me, if you love someone, you’ve got to hold on tight no matter what happens and never back out. That’s the kind of relationship that I want. But I guess not everyone thinks like this. Now, I think that Sheila is more compatible with me.”

Sophia was very much relieved after hearing those words from him.

“I hear you, Davin, and I can understand how you feel. I’ll be at ease as long as you know your heart’s desire.”

“Mom, I feel like I owe Renee and I want to make it up to her. What should I do for her?”

“Davin, if Renee doesn’t love you anymore, whatever you do won’t matter. If she still has feelings for you and you keep approaching her, you’re only flaming her sparks of love into a strong fire. In the end, you’ll be the one getting burnt.”

“So, just leave her alone and don’t play with fire. Think about Sheila, who will feel sad if she knows that you kept seeing Renee. Don’t bother about this any further and leave the matter to me. I’ll talk to Renee and she can look for me if she needs help in the future.”

Davin sank into deep thoughts and concluded that Sophia was right.

“Thanks for helping me out, Mom. Please try your best to satisfy all of Renee’s requests, regardless of what they are. After all, I owe it to her.”
