Female NovelChapter 2172 “Edwin is really dedicated to his work. I apologize for any inconvenience to Vanessa. We'll speak to him.” The Smith couple, despite their initial displeasure, recognized their daughter Vanessa's fondness for Edwin. They didn’t want to prematurely shut down this potential connection. So, they aligned with Mark's conversation, speaking highly of Edwin and noting the similarities between him and Vanessa.
“It's beneficial for young people to share common interests,” they remarked.
Mark, keen to keep the atmosphere light, quickly poured tea for them as the families continued their pleasant conversation.
Meanwhile, Dylan was acutely aware of Laura's distress.
He sensed her discomfort with the situation at the restaurant and, noticing her lack of appetite, suggested as they got into the car, “Let's go home and make something to eat. Everything here is too rich anyway.” Lina, too, guessed that Laura must be upset after encountering Mark and his family.
She supported Dylan's idea.
As they arrived at Dylan's villa, he instinctively wanted to offer Laura a comforting hug, but she hesitated, cautious of Lina's presence.Contents belong to NovelDrama.Org
However, Lina, as a mother, could sense that something was troubling her daughter.
Laura had confessed her feelings for aman who didn’t feel the same way.
With Edwin at a blind date earlier, Lina couldn't help but wonder if he was the man Laura was referring to.
The realization made her feel dizzy, her blood pressure rising.
The thought that Laura and Edwin might have had a relationship unbeknownst to her left her reeling.
Lina, grappling with her suspicions, maintained her composure and acted as if nothing was amiss. She escorted Laura to a guest room upstairs, ensuring she was settled before heading to the kitchen where Dylan was cooking.
Upon hearing her footsteps, Dylan paused but remained focused on his task.
Approaching Dylan, Lina offered to help while casually inquiring, “You're quite close to Laura, aren't you? Did you know about her previous boyfriend? What kind of person was he?” Dylan, who had initially intended to keep things under wraps, realized Lina was close to uncovering the truth herself.
As he continued chopping, he revealed in a subdued tone, “You saw him today. He was on a blind date.” ‘After a moment, she voiced her thoughts.
“But with the relationships between our families, it's hard to imagine Laura getting involved with Edwin. She's not impulsive and is usually quite protective of herself.” Dylan scoffed.
His voice was laced with emotion as he snapped, “She fell for Nelson Steve, not Edwin Evans. Had she known who he really was, she wouldn't have gotten involved. That bastard played with her ‘emotions, and I have to be honest, Mrs. Garcia-that's what happened.”
