Chapter 273

Serena looked up, meeting the sincerity in Dylan’s deep eyes, but she still shook her head. “We’ve already said everything here is to say. All I have for you is hate. What’s left for us to talk about?”

Dylan stared at her cold, distant gaze, momentarily at a loss for words.

What is there left to talk about?‘ he wondered.

All the arrogance he once had around Stella was gone. Now, all he felt was guilt.

But Dylan wouldn’t give up. “Just half an hour, that’s all I ask. The café across the street has

Serena saw he wasn’t backing down, so with a sigh, she followed him into the café.

They sat across from each other, Serena’s expression calm and composed.

Dylan, on the other hand, had no idea where to start.

He ordered coffee for both of them.

But Serena didn’t even touch hers.

great coffee.”

Dylan gestured to the cup in front of her. “Serena, the coffee here is really good. It’s just as good as the fresh brew you used o make.”

erena let out a quiet sigh. ‘If someone doesn’t have you in their heart, they’ll never notice the things that matter,‘ she hought.

Dylan, I only made good coffee because you liked it. But I never drink it myself. It always keeps me awake,” she said.

But she could handle a latte, as long as there was enough milk.

Dylan paused, his gaze faltering, and let the topic drop.

Mrs. Brett really cares about Cassie. Why didn’t you stop Eliana?” Dylan asked.

Dylan just couldn’t wrap his head around Serena’s choice.

If she kept the kid with her, wouldn’t that give her the upper hand over Eliana?‘ he thought. Why let Eliana take the child to he Lennox family and enjoy all their wealth and privileges?”

Serena couldn’t believe he’d actually ask something like that.

She gave him a mocking look. “Dylan, so this is who you really are. Even your own son begged you for help, and you just turned a blind eye.

‘Don’t you get it? The Lennox family is where Cassie truly belongs. She’s their child. They’re nothing like Eliana. They won’t lose their minds. At least there, she’ll have a real chance at happiness”

She added, “Mariana’s a genuinely kind and derent woman. Even if Cassie loses her mom, Mariana will love her like her own granddaughter.

“Mrs. Brett will be happy, too, seeing the girl she raised finally get the happiness she deserves Don’t you think it’s cruel for kid to grow up all alone in an orphanage?”

She continued, “I was an orphan, you know. I get how painful it is not having parents. On holidays, kids with families get to buy their parents gifts, celebrate together, and go to theme parks.

“Whatever, why am I even telling you all this? Mrs. Brett was always going to take her real daughter back in the end.”

Serena said, “I brought you here so you could see for yourself what kind of person your mother really is, and the true face of the woman you once loved. Didn’t you accuse me of lying to you?

“I just wanted you to witness it with your own eyes. If you still refuse to believe me, then there’s nothing more I can do.

“And another thing. Tyler disappeared right after Eliana gave birth to their daughter. Mariana didn’t just want Eliana back for the sake of her granddaughter. She must have sensed something happened to her son.”

She added, “Mariana’s a powerhouse in the business world. Do you really think she can’t see through Eliana? You are seriously the only one who’s blind to her true nature.

‘Or maybe you do see her for who she is. You just choose to stay with someone like that.”

Dylan was left speechless. No matter what he said, Serena just wasn’t buying it.

He finally got back to the point, his eyes lingering on her pale face. She hadn’t recovered. There was a fragile, almost ethereal beauty to her. Her face was completely drained of color.

He looked at her seriously and asked, “Stella, you were the one who saved me back then. Why didn’t you ever tell me?”
