-It’s time to go home.


    Although Mercedes was not as reluctant to see her as she had been a few days ago, and their rtionship had softened, that didn’t mean she wouldn’t stop Vanessa from being with Dn.


    -All right, I’ll take you back.


    Dn, surprisingly, did not stop her and, in fact, sent Vanessa back.


    -Vanessa, let’s talk.


    Mercedes’ tone silenced Vanessa for a moment before she nodded and helped Mercedes out into the garden.


    -You should know what I’m going to say.


    Vanessa couldn’t help but lower her head under Mercedes’ sharp gaze.


    -I don’t care what your rtionship with Dn was, you can’t have anything to do with him anymore. Even if you divorce Ondo, Dn is still your uncle, and you’ve been hurt enough by the Moya family, so I don’t want you to be hurt again.


    -I know.


    Vanessa took a deep breath and looked at Mercedes.


    He stepped forward and took Mercedes’ hand:


    -Mum, I know what you mean, and I didn’t want to get involved with Dn. It’s just that, when ites down to it, I don’t think I can go straight away, and I still have to wait for Dn’s business to be finished.


    -What are you going to do?


    Mercedes frowned and looked at Vanessa with concern.


    -I don’t know, but I do know that he has absolutely no feelings for me. At best I’m a pawn for him to use at the moment, and if I have to say it, it’s just macho mentality at work. Because I offered to end things before he got fed up with me, the difort he feels wants to take over.


    This was Dn.


    It was he who gave Vanessa the idea and affirmed it.


    The loving eyes, the time and the time to stay and love, but it was only a false pretense.


    He even suspected that Dn didn’t know how to love someone at all.


    To be entangled with such a man is a doomed tragedy, and she didn’t want to get her hopes up, let alone get herself into a blind alley from which she couldn’t extricate herself because of these extravagant and unnecessary hopes.


    She wasn’t that strong!


    Having been hurt so badly once before, she feared that this time it would hurt even more, that she would fall straight into the abyss and never get up again.


    So, she would imprison her own heart.


    -Good boy, what a poor thing.


    Mercedes knew her daughter and could see from the look on Vanessa’s face that she had made up her mind. Now, atst, she was relieved. Of course, there was still the inevitable worry.


    -Vanessa, I want you to keep your heart this time. As you know it’s not possible with Dn, remember not to let your heart be lost with you. What you are going through now is not terrible. When you are free, I will apany you to a different environment and we can start over. But once you lose your heart, you will face endless pain.


    -I know.


    Vanessa forced a smile as she couldn’t help but squeeze Mercedes’ hand.


    Even for the sake of the only mother left, she would keep a firm eye on her own heart.Têxt ? N?velDrama.Org.


    After a few days, it seemed that everyone was busy.


    Dn would just call Vanessa every day, saying the usual things to make her blush and tease her, and then he would have to hang up the phone. Since he was very busy, he would call her at irregr times.


    Vanessa is happy to see this.


    He led a simple and fulfilling life,muting back and forth between work and home every day.


    By Ciudad Pacifica, the battle between the Moya Group and the DS Group had reached a climax.


    After being stripped of another big project, Gerardo simply copsed with rage. Luckily, the family doctor was there and examined him immediately.


    Jaime left the room and found an open space to call Ondo.


    -Mr. Gerardo is not well and has fainted. Anyway, you are still grandparents and grandchildren, there is no need to have real hatred for rtives.


    Is this how a good family was going to fall apart?


    -Have you fainted?


    Ondo scoffed coldly, without the slightest hint of urgency.


    -Jaime, it’s amazing how my grandfather can even take advantage of his own health to cheat me.


    -Sir, Mr. Gerardo didn’t lie to you, and neither did I. He did faint. He did faint, you took away Grupo Moya’s biggest project and you made thepany lose a fortune, he got too angry for a moment so…


    -In that case, then I’m even more afraid to go back. What if he sees me and faints with rage again? Jaime, I have things to do, that’s all.


    With that, Ondo hung up the phone without the slightest hesitation.


    Jaime stared at his phone and shook his head with a sigh, his face full of helplessness.


    -Jaime.


    -Pr? What is it? -asked Jaime, looking at Pr, who was about to say something.


    -Jaime, how is Mr. Gerardo now?


    -The doctor said that Se?or Gerardo needs to recover. As you can see, Mr. Ondo is now…. How this family got into this mess. A good family but…


    Jaime could not go on, and could only shake his head and sigh.


    Pr sighed beside him and swallowed the words on her lips.


    “Forget it, it’s a hectic time for the Moya family, let’s keep it quiet for now. The poor baby can enjoy a few more days of bonanza.”


    -Well, I’m going to work.


    -He continues.


    Pr turned to leave and Jaime sighed again with a look of bitterness.


    When there was no one around, a cold gleam crossed his eyes.


    In the bedroom.


    Gerard opened his eyes and cursed excitedly at the thought of what he had heard before he fainted.


    -Ondo, the sinner!


    -Mr. Gerardo, you mustn’t get too excited. The doctor said not to get too excited now and to keep calm.


    -How can I not be excited! -This ungrateful grandson, he really wants to ruin the centenary foundation of the Moya family! For a woman, a woman who has no sense of decorum, who is with her husband’s uncle.


    That is what bothers Gerardo the most.


    It is obvious that the photos of Vanessa and Dn together came to light, but Ondo fought with his grandfather for her.


    “It’s just… it’s just stupid!”


    -How could I teach such a stupid grandson! Call him and tell him toe back to me right now!


    Gerardo still thought Ondo was the same obedient grandson as before, and continued to speak in amanding tone.


    Jaime had a hard look on his face.


    -I called Mr. Ondo earlier, but he… said something was wrong.


    -What’s the matter! He doesn’t want to see me again! Does he think I’m too old to do anything to him and that he doesn’t have to worry about me?
