Chapter 16 Part3 (2/2)
”Why the hell did you do that?” Jennafei furiously asked when they got out of the mansion ”I can't believe that you can even play with your parents this way”
”Did you see that?” He snorted ”I told you, they always do what I want They don't question ive it”
She gave him an incredulous look ”You put on that show just to show reement?”
Dex started the engine ”Yeah What can you say?”
Jennafei noticed the sarcasm fro to his unordinary situation”You're being pa I can't believe that there are parents like them A lot of kids wish they have parents like them”
”Do you wish to have them as parents?”
”I won't exchange my parents to any other parents in this world”
It was a long while before Dex answered ”They are like that because they are guilty Because they always leave me on my own They are both busy with their own lives and their own families”
”What? O-own families?”
Dex nodded without leaving his eyes on the road
”Your parents are separated?”
”Yeah Are you surprised?” He smirked bitterly ”I was thirteen when I found out I really don't have a family My parents separated when I was just five years old Even before, when they were not yet separated, they both were always flying outside the countrytheir own businesses I was raised by a nanny When I started having ured out that e of convenience They were able to hide it from public with their influence They were even able to hide their annulment so nobody knew they were annulled They wanted to keep their names, Peralta and Romero clean They now both have their own spouses in other countries I have two half siblings whom I haven't even seen”
Jennafei was astounded from what she learned about Dex
”They leftback once in a while to take care of their business here and to check on me I was thirteen when I discovered my mom married someone else in the States I was fifteen when dad o with mom when she asked me She did not insist maybe because she knew that I will only be a hindrance in her new life I opted to stay here and live aloneUntil today, I'm still here by o here to take care of their businesses Everybody thinks that I have everything but what they don't know is that… I don't have thein a person's life… a family
”When I saw your fa in your house I wanted to see how do you live your lives s a whole family I want to see how a family does… because I haven't seen one I don't knohat happy family does because I haven't experienced it before I want to experience to be in a family”
Jennafei was moved She saw bitterness in his face She felt the heartache he was feeling She fought the urge to hug and comfort him
”You're lucky you have parents like them, a family like that You don't have what I abundantly have, but you are happy 'cause you have a happy family”
”I'm sorry…” Was all she was able to utter
That was the reason why Dex was so secretive pertaining his personal life That's why Dex treated his parents that way All their insufficiency, they all fill by the use of money
So that's why his parents always follow his whiht to oppose his whi they can provide to their child they left on his oho greithout a family
She understood why Dex never believed in love He grew up in a home with no love
