Chapter 512: Homecoming
Vanessa was woken up by Dylan.
Thinking about what had happened earlier between them in the bedroom made her face flush.
-What’s the matter, don’t you feel well?
Dylan said with a frown, stepping forward and touching her forehead to his.ConTEent bel0ngs to Nôv(e)lD/rama(.)Org .
Vanessa’s eyes flickered slightly at his sudden approach and she couldn’t avoid Dylan’s deep dark eyes. The scene from the night before had been particularly embarrassing for her, and the images kept coming back to her.
-What’s on your mind, sweetheart? It’s time to get up and eat.
Dylan squeezed Vanessa’s face.
Then he came to his senses and forced himself not to think about last night.
-I’ll go wash up.
He bowed his head and finished hurrying away.
Her shaken back made Dylan laugh.
When she finished washing, the two of them went downstairs together.
-Mum.
Cecilia saw Vanessa and immediately ran to her, taking her hand intimately with a happy smile on her face.
-I’m sorry, mum was a bit unwell and slept until now.
Vanessa explained to her daughter, and looked at Dylan as she said it.
It was his fault that he had refused to let her go last night when she had clearly said she didn’t want to, making her sleep until noon when she couldn’t get up this morning. Now she was lying in front of her daughter and she felt so ashamed.
Dylan just laughed, not feeling in the least that he had done anything wrong.
-It’s okay, Mom.
Cecilia shook her head, she would be glad to see her mother again.
-I mean, does your family still let single people live?
Lucas grumbled aloud, depressed, feeling deeply that he should never have followed Dylan here to be mistreated.
-No one takes you for a mute if you don’t speak.
They’re together as a family, and Lucas as a single person shouldn’t be here to find his presence.
Lucas was speechless.
A pretty good meal.
After one more day of rest in this place, the next morning they boarded a private plane to return home.
-Dylan,” Vanessa bit her lip and looked at Dylan with a hesitant expression. She wanted to ask something but stumbled over how to say it and paused for several seconds before regaining her voice:
-Alonso… How is he now?
Not that she was still worried about Alonso, she just wanted to know.
-Do you want to know?
Dylan looked at Vanessa with a smile.
Vanessa pursed her lips and stared at him.
-Are you going to tell me or not?
-Honey, let me give you a kiss and I’ll tell you.
-Stop it.
-I’m serious.
Dylan showed his seriousness with a serious expression.
Seeing that there was no room for negotiation, Vanessa moved closer to Dylan and kissed him gently on the cheek. As she prepared to pull back, Dylan kissed her quickly and firmly on the lips.
Vanessa gasped and pushed Dylan away with some displeasure.
And the man didn’t let go until he had kissed her long enough, his deep eyes full of love and possessiveness.
-You ask another man in front of me and I’m not allowed to be jealous? -Dylan said in a sad tone.
-I just want to know how he’s doing now, it’s not like…. -Vanessa said with downcast eyes. After all, he saved my life, and while I can’t forgive him for the things he did afterwards, I also want to know what he’ll do and what the consequences will be.
Dylan’s heart skipped a beat at the thought of Vanessa, badly wounded and alone, passed out in the middle of nowhere.
Dylan is grateful that Alonso saved his wife, but Alonso shouldn’t have withheld information or fallen in love with his wife.
-Don’t worry, I’m just letting Alonso marry who he has to marry. For him, there is no loss.
Dylan didn’t want to talk about Alonso and Vanessa knew that and didn’t ask again, she just needed to know that Alonso wasn’t hurt.
The plane arrived in Ciudad Pacifica the next morning.
As soon as he got off the plane he saw Mateo with his bodyguards and quickly stepped forward to greet Dylan and his group.
Lucas did not follow them back and took a flight elsewhere while he was abroad.
-This is Mateo, my assistant,” Dylan, knowing Vanessa didn’t remember, introduced her thoughtfully.
-Hello.
Vanessa greeted Mateo with a smile.
-The car has been fixed and is waiting outside.
-Let’s go home first.
When she heard Dylan say the word “home,” Vanessa’s heart skipped a beat and she felt a sense of anticipation and longing. With trepidation, she watched as the car drove through the unfamiliar and familiar streets and finally stopped at her destination.
It’s a villa.
-Open the door.
As soon as Dylan’s words left his mouth, the Gordi robot opened the door from the inside.
-Sir, welcome home.
Gordi is still the same Gordi and he looks charming.
From the moment he entered the living room, familiar images occasionally flashed through Vanessa’s mind. She was pleasantly surprised to learn that her memories were returning.
Does this mean it won’t be long before she can remember all of her past?
-Go upstairs and take a look. Up there is our bedroom and Candy’s bedroom.
-Good.
Vanessa smiled and nodded, joining Dylan upstairs.
Cecilia was also excited to follow her mum and dad, and when they got upstairs they began to introduce Vanessa.
The familiarity of the rooms and furnishings continues to stimulate Vanessa’s memory, and she is pleased to find that she remembers more. And, naturally, what came to mind was the laughter of the family at home.
As a result, she became increasingly emotional and at the same time developed a strong sense of remorse.
He regretted that he had lost his memory and thus missed his daughter’s growth, and that he had not been there for both father and daughter.
-What’s the matter, aren’t you glad to be back home?
Dylan, sensing the change in Vanessa’s mood, asked with some concern.
-Nothing,” Vanessa forced a smile. I remembered some forgotten memories, and everything here feels so familiar.
She looked at her daughter and the guilt in her eyes intensified.
Dylan was well aware of her emotions and knew why she was upset at the moment.
-Candy, stay with mommy while daddy goes to get something.
-Okay.
Dylan smiled, kissed his daughter and got up to leave.
He soon returned with something like a USB stick in his hand, followed by Gordi.
-Gordi, come here.
-Yes, master.
As Gordi approached, Dylan put something like a USB stick in his stomach. A green light flashed and a virtual screen began to appear before the trio’s eyes.
This is the video Dylan has made of Cecilia over the past few years, a video documenting her growth.
He knew Vanessa must have been sorry to have missed out on her daughter’s development and now some of these videos would make up for at least some of that regret.
