Chapter 2163 Edwin watched Laura in silence.
His heart twinged as he noticed her crouched down, cradling the Labrador in her arms in silence. The urge struck him to leave the car and sweep her up in his arms.
He yearned to whisk her away, to conceal her from the world.
Gripping his chest, Edwin shut his eyes.
Upon opening them, despair washed over him.
What was he doing now? The oue was precisely what he''d envisioned. Yet doubt nagged at him. What was churning in his mind? His chapter with Laura had closed. As expected, his engagement to Vanessa was on the horizon, while Laura would find her own happy ending, maybe with Dn or some other man.
Without a flicker of emotion, Edwin rolled up the window and drove off.
The ornate ss door of the vi swung open, revealing Dn.
In spite of the chilly night, barely scraping 10 degrees, he sported just a ck tank top and well-worn jeans, his stature tall and imposing.
Under the soft glow of the porch light, he fixed his gaze on Laura.
Their history stretched back years.
When he first met her, she was such a fragile little thing, more delicate and tinged with mncholy than now.
He was merely two years her senior.
Back then, his life was a parade of beauties.
So Dn never contemted entangling his life with the innocent Laura, not until she entered Edwin''s orbit. He couldn''t bring himself to expose Edwin''s true identity to her, especially now that they had parted ways. Perhaps, in his silence, Laura might see her time with Edwin as nothing but a misstep.
Dn watched her, his voice gentle in the night air.
“Your mom called. She''sing by tomorrow.” Laura froze.
Time stretched out before she whispered, “I''m alright. Please, don’t mention any of this to her.” With a soft exhale, Dn conceded.

“I haven''t said a word. But you need to take your medicine.” Laura had been visibly spiraling thesest few days, a shadow of depression creeping back in, which had Dn worried sick.
