Chapter 1002
Even though Clait was older now and her eyes had changed slightly from when she was young, the basic features, like the shape of her eyes, should not have changed much âYeah, especially those eyes, theyâre full of kindness when she looks at people, but thereâs also this strength in them That was Sonyaâs most vivid memory of Comeliaâs
mom
Back in the day, Sonya used to wonder how could there be such a captivating woman in the world. She appeared delicate and never got too emotional, almost as if a gust of wind could blow her over Yet, she gave off this vibe of strength, as if nothing could faze her
Sonya continued, âNelly, I donât know what your mom went through, or what happened between you two. Iâm not in the position to make excuses for anyone. But I gotta say, your mom is a really good person. Maybe she had her reasons for leaving you guys back then. Give her a chance to explain.â
Comelia, âThanks. I will
Sonya, âBoth your dad and grandma passed away. We thought you had no family left. Now youâve found your sister, and your momâs back. Wouldnât it be great if you guys could reconcile and live happily as a family?â
Comelia. Yeah.â
Abigail, Mom, itâs getting late. Letâs eat.â
Sonya, âYou guys have a seat, Ill go get the soupâ
Abigail, Tll help youâ
Sonya, âNo, you and Nelly sit down.â
Abigail, âOkayâ
Allen enthusiastically asked, âDylan, fancy a drink?â
Dylan replied, âIâm a lightweight. Iâll get drunk after one drink. But if you donât mind me talking a lot, Iâll join youâ
wwww
The head director of Hartley Group was willing to have a drink with him. Allenâs impression of him shot up. âIn that case, letâs have a few drinks. I donât know if youâll like the food my wife made.â
Dylan, âI grew up in an orphanage, had my fair share of hard times. I find everything delicious nowâ
Dylanâs candidness won Allenâs trust, who reciprocated with frankness. Abigail tried several times to stop it, but failed
As Dylan drank more, he became more talkative. âI like your daughter Abby: I want to marry her. Would you agree to let her marry me?â
When he said that, Cornelia and Abigail werenât surprised, but Allen and Sonya were taken aback. Fearing Allen might do something inappropriate, Sonya jumped in, âAbby already has a fiancé. He just left Rosenberg today.â
Dylan, âHer fiance is unreliable. Donât be fooled by his facade. Choose me Iâm more dependable than him.â
Cornelia couldnât stand it anymore, âPlease watch your words.â
Dylan retorted, âMs. Stewart, this isnât work hours, itâs my personal time. I have the right to pursue my own happinessâ¦â
Before he could finish, he suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood.
Everyone was taken aback. Cornelia reacted the fastest, Tll call an ambulance. We need to get you to the hospital.â
Dylan waved her off, âNo need, itâs just my chronic disease. I have medication in my car. Ms. Stewart, could you get it for me, please?â
