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.
“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.”
