CEO Broke Down and Cried After I Divorced Him novel Chapter 742

"Heh..." Dylan let out a helpless laugh.

"In this world, you're the first and only person who doesn’t trust me like this."

After pressing his lips together in reluctant defeat, he finally gave in and did as she asked.

“I, Dylan Wright, swear that I will cherish my life and, in times of danger, prioritize my grandmother and sister. If I fail to do so, may I never stand again for the rest of my life.”

“That’s not how you’re supposed to say it…”

“Isn’t this punishment heavy enough for me?” Dylan interrupted before Suzy could argue further.

“Suzy, if you expect me to repeat your exact words, you might as well give up. No matter what, I’ll never say something like that.”

Before Suzy could respond, Dylan continued, “If someone asked you to make a vow using the person you care about most, could you say it?”

“Why wouldn’t I? As long as I keep my promises, it shouldn’t matter,” Suzy retorted stubbornly.

“You’re refusing because you know you can’t do it, right? Dylan, was everything I said to you just a waste of time?”

After spending so much energy trying to convince him, she was frustrated that he still wouldn’t listen.

Suzy thought for a moment and decided to give him an example. “Dylan, if your child—”

Before she could finish, Dylan interrupted with a mischievous grin. “Are you saying you want to give me a child?”

"Did your English teacher actually work as a gym coach or something? If, I said if!” Suzy couldn’t help rolling her eyes, though she tried to resist.

“I’d be happy, of course. Loving someone means giving your whole heart. The person he’ll spend the rest of his life with is his wife, not his parents,” Dylan replied, his tone calm and logical.

Suzy let out a dry laugh. “Wow, you’re really an understanding parent. I just hope you don’t end up heartbroken, feeling like you raised him for nothing.”

As they spoke, Suzy’s phone suddenly rang. It was Desmond calling.

Thinking it might be news about the woman, Suzy quickly answered. But the words on the other end left her stunned.

“Mrs. Wright, something terrible has happened. Your father is in trouble!” Desmond’s voice was tense.

“What happened?” Suzy’s heart clenched as if gripped by an invisible hand.

After a brief pause, Desmond’s heavy voice came through. “He set himself on fire.”
