Dylan shook his head. “It’s not you, Stella. It’s not your fault. It’s my mom and Eliana who are to blame. We never saw their schemes coming. One is family, and the other got close to me on purpose..
“People can be terrifying. You did nothing wrong. I’ll make it right for you and make Eliana suffer everything you went through.”
Dylan gave a gentle smile. Now that he’d said it all, he felt a weight lift off his shoulders.
He’d always be there for her and their son.
Serena’s heart quivered as she caught his tender gaze. She thought, ‘I’d loved him with her very life, and now he finally realized how I felt. But wasn’t it already too late?‘
The atmosphere was warm, but suddenly, a burnt smell wafted through the air.
Serena froze for a second. “Dylan, what are you cooking?”
Dylan jumped up and dashed to the kitchen.
The pot was boiling over, foam spilling everywhere, and it smelled terrible.
He turned off the stove and wiped down the table first.
Serena followed him into the kitchen and saw him trying to make chicken noodle soup. Watching his tall figure move around, she felt like the cold, empty house finally had a bit of life in it.
“Let me handle this. You don’t know the first thing about cooking,” Serena said, and she knew that he hadn’t eaten anything at all yesterday.

smiled as he took the milk. With her here, his stomach never hurt.
ays been this wonderful,‘ Dylan thought.
said, holding his milk and standing off to the side, watching her work her magic in the kitchen, adding spices, heat down, and covering the pot to let it simmer.
Dylan couldn’t help but ask, “Stella, did you come stay here when I wasn’t around?”
Serena nodded. “Yeah. The other villa was way too big for just me I’m all alone in here, and it’s so empty. So I bought this place.
“Whenever you weren’t home, I’d come here. We only got married because of a contract, remember? Your place never felt like home to me. Without you, there’s no home.”
She thought, ‘Honestly, it didn’t make much difference where I stayed.
Then why didn’t she just pick a place she truly liked?‘
