Desires Die Hard

Cecilia and Anya were in the café.

Cecilia kept apologizing to Anya. Tears fell down her face as she was apologizing. She didn’t think the truth would be debunked but things did come to that and what was worse, Shirley had passed away. This belongs to NôvelDrama.Org: ©.

And she had suffered so much before her death.

What Cecilia did to Shirley weighed heavily upon Cecilia’s conscience. Cecilia thought she couldn’t boast the fortune and fame at ease as Mrs. Ford of the Ford Group anymore.

From then on, she would live with guilt and compunction.

Cecilia was so guilty that she kept apologizing. But as for Anya, she only felt it a release because she didn’t bother to care about the feud between the last generations.

She just wanted to let it go by time.

“Mrs. Ford, if you do want to apologize, go to the cemetery with me.” For her, it was her mother Shirley who should receive the apology.

Because Shirley was the one who suffered.

Cecilia had meant to do that. She wiped her tearful eyes and nodded. “OK. I’ll go with you.”

“Let’s go.” Anya stood

Cecilia also stood up, She looked at Anya and thought, “What a tough girl she is!” Cecilia couldn’t help being guilty again. “Anya… I am not qualified to beg you to forgive what I did when I was young. I just hope that you would regard the Ford family as your own home and we are you all your family…”

Anya nodded.

She was somewhat touched and wondered,

Then, Cecilia and Anya went to the cemetery together.

Melissa had dug out Shirley’s urn to threaten Kyan, but then, Evan and Anya got it back and reburied it.

.And Evan had Shirley’s tomb refurbished.

The weedy tomb turned out to be clean and neat.

Under the tomb lied several bouquets of lilies.

Before that, Cecilia also bought a bunch of white daisies and lilies. When they stood in front of the tomb, without saying anything, she put down the flowers and bowed towards the tomb.

“Shirley, I’m sorry… I know I should have apologized to you several decades ago and now you might not accept it. I don’t expect that my selflessness will result in your death… If I knew it, I would not take Kyan from you.

“To be honest, on that day when I turned to you, I was anxious, too. I was afraid that you would be tough and wouldn’t buy my words at all. I feared that you would tell Kyan what I did … But how kind you were! You knew I was pregnant, so you would rather help me at the expense of your happiness … But I want to tell you … It was all my fault in the past … I had lied

to you. I didn’t get engaged with Kyan. Neither have I been in a relationship with him. I told you I was his fiancée because 1 wanted you to believe you were the other woman and quitted him … I am the other woman…”

Without hesitation, Cecilia revealed the truth of the past. By this moment, her eyes had been full of tears.

She was so conscience–stricken that she felt as if her heart was being bitten by thousands of ants.

“Shirley, I am sorry for what I did to you…”

Saying this, Cecilia covered her face and cried sadly in front of the tomb.

Seeing her tears, Anya was about to comfort her. At this moment, Kyan, Dennis, and Paige appeared out of expectation.

Dennis helped Kyan, who had just recovered, walked up to Cecilia.

Kyan glanced at the tomb, where his beloved was buried, and then looked at his wife before the tomb. He was heartbroken. “What you did… How could I forgive you?” His voice was mixed with anger and hatred.

“Shirley didn’t know I was serious about our relationship even before she was dead… I betrayed her love … But when we were together, I did love her with all my heart!”
