A Second Chance With My Billionaire Love
Chapter 2171-2180
Chapter 2171 He courteously inquired if Lina would mind.
Given the discomfort, Lina concurred, and they promptly excused themselves.
ALL the while, Dylan's arm remained a comforting band around Laura, supporting her as they left.
He knew if he slackened his hold, even slightly, Laura might crumble.
She clung to composure, refusing to unravel before the Evans family, safeguarding her final shred of dignity...
In the restaurant, Edwin watched Laura until she was out of sight.
The look of shock and despair in her eyes seemed to burn into his memory, refusing to be forgotten.
He was so preoccupied that the conversation around him, filled with remarks from his parents and the Smith family, barely registered.
Eventually, Mark broke the silence.
“Edwin, do you know Laura's boyfriend well?" Edwin, distracted and indifferent, replied, “I just know of him." Mark didn’t press the matter further.
As the elders from both families engaged in conversation, focusing on the younger generation's preferences, Vanessa expressed a desire for closer acquaintance. When Edwin was asked for his opinion, he hesitated.
The expectant eyes of both families’ elders were upon him.
He took a sip of wine and responded nonchalantly, “Miss Smith has made a good impression on me.” Vanessa acknowledged this with a subtle smile.
Edwin, excusing himself politely, handed out his business card.
“I must attend to something at the office. Please enjoy your meal without me.” Mark and Cecilia looked displeased.
They had hoped for a budding relationship between Edwin and Vanessa, but his abrupt departure and formal gesture of a business card seemed insincere.
The Smith couple, initially dissatisfied, considered leaving.
However, Vanessa, ever composed, remarked, “Career is important, after all,” accepting the business card graciously.
Edwin gave Vanessa a slight nod and then left.
Mark felt compelled to smooth things over with the Smiths.
Chapter 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.
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.”
Chapter 2173 Lina was overwhelmed with sadness, torn between two individuals she held dear.
She struggled to comprehend Edwin's actions and worried about the future interactions between him and Laura.
Dylan, deciding to be entirely forthright, disclosed, “They lived together for three months. But there was no pregnancy, no abortion.
They've completely broken up now.” Lina was left to process this revelation, needing time to come to terms with the complexity of the situation and its implications.
Lina stepped out into the front yard, silently taking a seat. Dylan's Labrador came over, gently sniffing her hand.
She patted the dog, her head tilting back slightly to hide the tears that had started to fall.
Outside the villa, a black car pulled up-it was Edwin's.
He exited the vehicle, his eyes meeting Lina's. The discomfort was palpable between them, but he approached the front gate and knocked gently.
