CEO Broke Down and Cried After I Divorced Him novel Chapter 407

Chapter 0407 

After hearing Suzy’s blunt words, Dylan was left feeling deflated, like a wilted flower under frost. 

If he had held on to even a sliver of hope before, it had now been thoroughly extinguished. Suzy’s stance couldn’t have been clearer–there was no chance for him. 

But Dylan wasn’t one to give up so easily. 

Winning a woman’s heart wasn’t impossible. 

After all, wasn’t there a saying, “Where there’s a will, there’s a way?” If he put in enough genuine effort, winning her heart again wouldn’t be impossible. 

With that thought, Dylan’s spirits lifted. He began making frequent attempts to win Suzy over, starting with small gestures of goodwill. 

For instance, he gave her a gift. 

Of course, it couldn’t be too extravagant or too impersonal, so he decided to make something himself–a crystal pendant carved into her likeness, delicately crafted with remarkable precision. 

When he presented it to her, Dylan spoke with a casual smile. “Thank you for taking care of me these past few days. I made you a little gift. See if you like it.” 

Suzy’s eyes lit up when she saw the pendant, but her enthusiasm quickly faded. 

“There’s no need. The fact that you’re poisoned is partially my fault, so take it back. Once the antidote is ready, we’ll go our separate ways. There’ll be no need for all this.” 

Dylan’s hand froze midair, the pendant dangling awkwardly. “I made this myself. It’s not worth much. Just a gesture. You really won’t accept it?” 

“You made it yourself?” Suzy’s tone shifted to mild disbelief. As far as she knew, Dylan had no skills in carving, yet the craftsmanship on the pendant was extraordinary. It was far too detailed to have come from a beginner’s hand. 

Dylan noticed the suspicion in her eyes and responded without missing a beat. “I learned sculpting when I was young. But managing the company kept me too busy to keep it up, so -hardly anyone knows about it.” 

Was that so? 

Regardless of whether it was true, Suzy wasn’t interested in keeping the pendant. 

“Even if you made it yourself, I’m not taking it,” she said firmly. “The antidote should be ready by now. I’ll go check on it.”

With that, she turned and headed upstairs, leaving Dylan standing there, frozen like a fool, the pendant still in his hand. 

She was completely unyielding–neither soft words nor hard tactics worked. What would it take to melt that ice–cold heart of hers, even just a little? 

Not long after, Suzy came back downstairs holding the antidote, handing it to Dylan. ” Drink it.” 

Without a moment’s hesitation, Dylan took the bowl and drank it all in one go. 

Suzy was momentarily speechless. 

This was bitter medicine. Yet he drank it as if it were plain water. Did he not have taste buds? 

After waiting for about five minutes, Suzy asked, “How do you feel?” 

If it was effective, there should already be noticeable changes in his body. 

Dylan looked at her seriously. “I think it’s working. The burning sensation in my body seems to be subsiding.”
