From Divorced Wife To The Top Heiress novel Chapter 354

Chapter 354

Serena snapped out of her daze when she heard his voice, and she caught what Dylan had just said.

She went along with it and said, “I’m thinking about you…

Dylan froze, his deep, roguish eyes lighting up with surprise.

‘She’s thinking about me!‘ he thought, his heart skipping a beat.

But Serena’s next words were like a bucket of ice water dumped over his head. “I was just wondering why you’re still here.”

Dylan gave a bitter smile. “Stella, I know I messed up. Can’t you forgive me?”

He truly understood his mistakes, and he knew just how deeply the girl in front of him had loved him.

Serena looked at him with indifference. “You know you were wrong, but I’ve already moved on. These past few years have worn me out.

“From now on, don’t come looking for me anymore. I promised your grandparents I wouldn’t interfere with the Ashford family again.

“Now that you know the whole truth, you won’t let the Ashford family go down because of some heartless woman again.

“I had the four big families cut ties with you before because you hadn’t come to your senses yet. But now that you have, I won’t stand in the way of your career anymore. Your grandparents can finally breathe easy now.

“With your skills, as long as you don’t let romance mess with your head, the Ashford family will rule Kingsbridge’s high society in three years.”

Serena knew exactly what Dylan was capable of.

He’d been working his ass off all these years.

Dylan had to get strong on his own if he wanted to take on Beatrice.

Beatrice wasn’t about to back down, but Dylan could keep the Ashford family safe, no matter what.

Dylan stared at her, taking in her calm, unruffled expression, while inside, his heart was a storm of emotions.

He forced a bitter smile. “Stella, after everything you did for me, can you really just walk away? Are you truly willing to leave like this?”

Serena pressed her lips together, saying nothing.

At least after she learned how her son had left her, she could finally leave without regrets.

Seeing her stay silent, Dylan pressed on, “You might be ready to leave, but I can’t. The one I’ve always loved is

you. It was Eliana who manipulated everything from the start…”

Serena cut him off, her tone cold and annoyed. “That’s enough, Dylan. You don’t love me. We spent three years together.

“If you really cared, you would’ve seen through Eliana’s tricks. If you truly loved me, you wouldn’t have hurt

1. me.

“For three years, I was right by your side, but you were always so far away from me.

“But I’m done holding onto the past. Dylan, let’s break up on good terms and move on with our lives.

“It was just a contract marriage. Once it’s torn up, it’s over. I was only a passerby in your life.”

Dylan choked up, his words stuck in his throat. He just stared at her, completely at a loss for words.

Serena was right. Back then, he didn’t want to hurt her, so he just kept running away.

But he’d forgotten that before Eliana came into their lives, they were actually really happy together.

It was only after he started getting close to Eliana that things started to change. He stopped coming home, and Serena grew quieter and quieter.

Even when she was carrying his child, all he wanted was for her to have an abortion.

She pleaded with him through tears and said she’d take the baby and leave, promising never to interfere with his life with Eliana.

It was all his fault. He left her to suffer all that pain alone.

Dylan said, “I’m sorry, Stella. I’m not going anywhere. You were always the one who gave me warmth, but from now on, it’s my turn to love you.

“Just lie down and don’t say anything. Take care of yourself and heal.”

Dylan pulled the blanket over her, making sure she was comfortable.

Serena closed her eyes. She’d said everything that needed to be said. Dylan would never understand that he was the greatest heartbreak of her youth, and even the memories still stung like needles.

Serena closed her eyes and spoke, “Dylan, I don’t need you to do anything for me. I endured all those disappointments and pain alone.”
