Chapter 398
Dylan felt a sharp pain in his chest as he listened to the coldness in her voice.
‘She calls me Mr. Ashford, he thought.
He wasn’t keen on talking, and he already knew what she wanted to discuss.
Still, he walked over, sat down, and waited for her to speak.

Serena pointed to the items behind her. “Christmas goods by the fridge are for you. Take them home for the celebration. I also bought some for your grandparents.
“I need to go home and spend Christmas with

“I’m
grandpa. The holiday is tomorrow, so I’ve got a lot to do today.”
Christmas alone this year. Is it okay if I join you and the baby for the holiday?”
Christmas alone
Serena smiled, “Aren’t you afraid my grandpa will beat you up?”
Dylan met her gaze, his voice soft. “I’m not afraid. I probably have it coming.”
Serena shook her head. “I’m the one who’s scared. If my grandpa sees you, his blood pressure will go through the roof.
“He was already furious when he found out I married you behind his back, and after everything that happened, just hearing your name makes him blow up.
“So, looks like your wish isn’t coming true this time.”
Dylan dropped his head in disappointment, his tall frame frozen like a statue, completely alone in the world.
“Stella, can you
take me to see my dad?” Dylan asked.
Serena shook her head. “No, your mom always gets people keeping tabs on me. If she finds out your dad is still alive, you’re the one she’ll come after.”
Serena knew Beatrice all too well. She was always up to something in the shadows.
Dylan felt a sharp pain in his chest. Nothing stings worse than getting hurt by your own family.
Dylan thought, ‘Beatrice killed my father because Dad discovered Yvonne’s real identity. Beatrice is after the whole Ashford family’s wealth.’
Dylan agreed to let Serena take him home. He just wanted to spend a little more time with her.
Whenever she was around, he felt safe.
It was Dylan’s first Christmas all by himself, and he couldn’t help but feel lonely. But at least his grandparents were still there
for him.
Before long, they reached Dylan’s home, and Serena helped him unload Christmas goods.
Dylan followed behind her, his arms full of festive supplies.
Serena stared at the place she’d lived for three years, her heart a jumble of emotions. This place had brought her so much pain.
Out of habit, she entered the code. When the door opened, she looked at Dylan in surprise. “You didn’t change the password?”

Dylan stood behind her, his tall frame looming. He smiled, “Yeah, you still have a lot of stuff here. I thought you might need to come back for them, so I never changed it.*
Serena pursed her lips slightly. “I’ve already taken everything I need. Just toss the rest.”
I don’t even want him anymore, so why bother keeping anything else? Serena thought.
Dylan’s lips tightened as he stared at her. He thought, ‘She wanted to erase the past, and that meant erasing me, too.
“Come on in,” Dylan said.
Then, Dylan just stayed silent.
Serena set the bags down in the entryway. “I’m heading out now. I’ve already given you the medicine. You can take care of the rest yourself.
“Put whatever needs to go in the fridge. And make sure Grandma only has one cake, don’t let her eat more.”
Dylan knew he couldn’t make her stay. He replied, “Alright. Take care on your way home.”
Serena avoided meeting Dylan’s disappointed gaze. She gently urged him, “Dylan, you’re not really alone. Go home and spend Christmas with your grandparents.”
With that, she pushed the door open and stepped out. The cold wind slapped her face, but the ache in her chest was even
worse.
‘Damn it, why can’t I just forget this guy?‘ Serena thought.
She tilted her head back, staring up at the gloomy sky, her heart a tangled mess.
