Chapter 430
Dylan’s eyes sparked with excitement, but Serena’s next words hit him like a bucket of cold water, soaking him from head to
Serena scoffed, “Seriously, how could you be so dumb? It was a setup planned for ages, and you didn’t even notice. Are you really that blind?”
Dylan let out a bitter laugh. “Maybe everything came too easily for me. I was too self–absorbed, arrogant, reckless, and naive. That’s how I ended up like this
Serena understood, and a relaxed smile appeared on her face. “Honestly, isn’t there a huge difference between things that fall into your lap and those you fight tooth and nail for?
“The things you struggle for are the ones that leave a mark on your soul.”
“What I hand over to you and what you earn with your own effort, they’re worlds apart. Only when you’ve experienced it yourself does it become etched into your heart.
“If something’s given to you effortlessly, if you never had to put in any work, how could you ever truly cherish it?”
All the memories from the past came flooding back, every little detail flashing through Dylan’s mind.
Dylan thought, ‘But the way she gave and helped me had left a mark on my heart. When I was at my lowest, she was the one who stayed by my side.
“When my company hit a rough patch, she was the one hustling to pull in clients for me!
Serena gave a bitter smile. “Dylan, I was there for you when you hit rock bottom. Does that mean nothing to you? Did you really throw away everything I did for you like yesterday’s trash?”
Serena let out a bitter laugh, finally seeing things clearly.
She thought, In the end, it all came down to one thing, Dylan just didn’t love me!
“I’m sorry” Dylan said, guilt written all over his face. He didn’t know what came over him back then. He’d fallen under Eliana’s spell and lost his way.
He thought, I had failed a woman who loved me with everything she had.
Serena smiled and pointed ahead. “Take a right up there.”
Dylan turned right and drove into the gated community.
Soon, they pulled up in front of her house. Serena smiled, “Thanks for driving me home. I won’t invite you in. You should head back and get some rest. It’s freezing out there.”
Serena looked at Dylan’s sharp, handsome features for a long moment, and finally, she came to a realization.
She thought, ‘1 finally realize that the more someone loves me, the more self–control they show for my sake.
But Dylan had always picked Eliana, every single time..
Now that the divorce is final, none of it really matters anymore. I finally figured out our true feelings about each other.
Dylan gave her a gentle smile, “Stella, I’ll make up for everything I missed. From now on. I’ll be a better man and love you

the way you deserve.”
Dylan thought, ‘She is willing to let me in, and things between us would only get better from here!

Serena shook her head. “Dylan, you really don’t understand me. I’m straightforward, but I don’t do things halfway. When I love someone, I give everything. When I stop, there’s nothing left. There’s no middle ground for me.
“Love is all about the little things. People can lie, but the details never do. You see love in the details, and you see the absence of it there, too.
“Whenever things got tough for me, you always ran off to Eliana instead of staying by my side. You love her, Dylan. Why is it so hard for you to admit that Eliana is the one in your heart?”
Dylan was momentarily speechless, then shook his head. “No! You’re the only one in my heart.”
Serena didn’t say a word. She just opened the car door and got out.
