CEO Broke Down and Cried After I Divorced Him novel Chapter 406

Chapter 0406 

Dylan shook his head. “I do have plenty of enemies, and some of them are good with tech. But none of them could compare to you. Your skills surpass even mine, let alone anyone else’s.” 

Suzy was speechless. Why did that sound like flattery? 

Still, as long as he was safe, Suzy decided to let it slide. She didn’t press further. 

After that, Suzy didn’t spend all her time locked in the pharmacy anymore. Partly because she was worried the intruder might return, and partly because her research on the antidote was nearly complete. 

With his goal achieved, Dylan kept his satisfaction hidden, maintaining his usual composed demeanor. 

The garden at Hillside Villa was vast and filled with Suzy’s favorite flowers. There was also a grapevine trellis. Though it was winter now and lacked the vitality of spring, it still had its charm especially when it snowed. 

Suzy enjoyed sitting on the swing under the grapevine trellis. It reminded her of her 

mother. 

When she was a child, her mother often pushed her on the swing, laughing gently behind 

her. But now… 

The bittersweet memory caused a pang of sorrow in Suzy’s heart. 

As she was lost in thought, someone gave the swing a push from behind. Assuming it was Riley, who was also at the villa today, Suzy didn’t even turn around. 

She spoke softly, “After Grandma gave birth to Dad, her health was never the same. She thought Dad was too lonely and wanted to have another child to keep him company. But Grandpa refused no matter what. They argued over it for years. 

“By the time Dad was older, and Grandma was too old to have more children, they finally decided to adopt a child from an orphanage. 

“If they hadn’t chosen Charlotte back then, none of this would’ve happened. I wouldn’t have lost my parents and my three brothers.” 

She didn’t want to cry, but the wind and snow blurred her vision. 

A’deep voice sounded behind her. “From now on, I’ll stay by your side in their place.” 

Hearing Dylan’s voice, Suzy immediately got off the swing. “The wind is strong here. You should head back inside.” 

She didn’t waste another word. After speaking, she turned to leave.

But Dylan grabbed her arm. “Suzy, I know there’s no chance for us anymore. I’ve given up on that. But can’t we at least be friends?” 

“Friends?” Suzy laughed. “Dylan, it’s not that I’m petty, but I just don’t see the point.”
