“ Really ? ” I asked in return .
“ Yes . Not only are you thinner , but your skin does n’t look good either . _ _ You are pale . ”
When Daniel ‘s words scared me , I unconsciously brought my hands to my face . _ “ I’m not feeling lik
e I’ve lost weight .”
“ You really lost weight . If her parents saw her now , they would definitely be distressed . When I Property © of NôvelDrama.Org.
heard Daniel mention my parents , my heart abruptly skipped a beat . If they knew
that this is the result of my insistence , they would probably be deeplydistressed .
Meanwhile , Daniel was carefully examining my expression . “ Linda ,
are you back to visit your parents yet ? ”
“ No. _ ” I threw him a bitter smile . I want
to go back and visit them , but I know Dad ‘s temper . He is a person who never gives in , so it ‘ s easie
r said than done to get his forgiveness , since II hurt him deeply at
that time . Besides , my life is a mess right now , so I ca n’t go back with my tail between my legs and
complain .
“ How come you didn’t come
back to visit them ? That ‘s very cruel of you , ” Daniel scolded . “ No matter what happened back then ,
they are still your parents who gave birth to you and raised you . ”
“ It’s not that I ‘m cruel , but they ‘re not willing to forgive me . ”
“ That ‘s because they love you too
much . Linda , parents always have their child ‘s best interest at heart . _ _ _ Now you have a daughter
, and as the saying goes , you never know a parent ‘s love until you have one .your own son. If you thin
k about it from another perspective , you can understand your parents . After all , no parent
will ever hurt their own child . ”
Daniel ‘s words touched my heart and tears instantly came to my eyes . _ I
never thought someone I ‘d disowned in the past would say such heartfelt words to me . My tears esca
ped uncontrollably , half sadness and half guilt . _
Seeing me cry , Daniel took out his handkerchief and handed it to me . “ Thank
you , Daniel . ” However , I did not take the handkerchief , but wiped my eyes with my hand before leavi
ng with Bianca .
To my surprise , I saw Carlos in the living room when we got home . “ Why did you come
back so early today ? ”
“ I’m thirsty , so I went back for some water , ” I replied , covering up the truth . Not wanting him to notic
e my melancholy , I
turned and headed for the kitchen . After pouring a glass of water , I sat down , but _Unexpectedly , my
eyes met his again as I turned my head . For some reason , he seems to
be looking at me strangely , but I just ca n’t put my finger on why .
After exchanging glances briefly , Carlos returned to the office . _ Since Joana arrived , he has been sp
ending a lot more time at the office than usual . Suddenly , understanding dawned . _ _ He ‘s not really
working at the office , butflirting with Joana via WhatsApp on her cell
phone ! However , it did not bring me much sadness because Carlos ‘ love had changed , while I was t
he type of person who never gave in to love , so it
was impossible for me to shed tears because ofa man who didn’t love me anymore .
When I left the kitchen , I
went to Bianca ‘s room . She was sprawled across the table , drawing , so I did n’t disturb her , I just sat
beside her in silence and watched her draw . This scene before me beckoned memories of _when I wa
s a child . At that time , Mom and Dad also lovingly kept me company by my side as they
watched me draw and write . Daniel ‘s words earlier flashed through my mind : One never knows the lo
ve of one ‘s parents untilto have your own child , as parents love their children unconditionally . _ _
Anguish flooded me . _ I suddenly realized the magnitude of my mistakes . _ When did I really apologiz
e from the bottom of my heart for the many years I was at odds with them ? _ I always thought they wer
e required to be goodwith
me , and even if I was wrong , they should tolerate and forgive me . Maybe it ‘s my totally insincere apo
logy that offended my dad so much that he never forgave me . It seems I
have to correct my attitude and really pursue theforgive them in all sincerity . _
When that thought occurred to
me , I got up and went back to my room to call my mother . Right after I grabbed my cell
phone , however , Carlos walked in . “ Honey , are we going to do that tonight ? ” He looked
at me witheyes burning with desire , and I naturally understood what he meant after being married to hi
m for several years . _ _ _ _
