Chapter 36


    “ 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


    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


    “ Howe you didn’te


    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  uncontrobly , 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 youe


    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 mncholy , I


    turned and headed for the kitchen . After pouring a ss 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 nces 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 mepany by my side as they


    watched me draw and write . Daniel ‘s words earlier shed 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 urred 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 . _ _ _ _
