Chapter 747 - Ugly Tears (2/2)
”Why would I do that?” she retorted.
”Because I deserve it,” he replied. ”It's all my fault. It's all my fault. It's all really my fault.” He kept repeating his words.
Francesca placed her hand against his face and said, ”I do want to slap you.” Dylan looked at her but because of his tears, he only saw a blurry image. ”For crying ugly before me. Such a handsome man and yet you look so ugly when you cry. Ruined my appetite for the day.” Seeing how his tears weren't stopping, she went on, ”Didi, none of it is your fault. None of it. If I blamed it all on you, my son would be angry with me once he wakes up.”
”How is it not my fault?” asked Dylan. ”Even if I didn't do it with my own hands, I still can't separate myself from this crime. The one who hurt him is my own sister. I'm related to her. And it's the relationship, I can't even deny.”
”I'll say it again, this is not your fault. Stop trying to take the blame that has nothing to do with you.” She took a pause before adding, ”Meihui might be your blood-related sister. But my Regi called you his brother. Not just called you one, he treated you like his younger brother. Right now, I only see you as my Regi's closest friend and his dearest brother.”
Dylan continued to look at her as she forced out a smile on her face, ”And I was serious earlier! Is this the time for you to show up? As a brother, you should be here! I'm definitely telling on you. With me, you can get away with your ugly tears but they won't work on Regi. If you cried before him, he is gonna beat you more!”
Dylan let out a chuckled mixed with his tears as he nodded, ”He definitely would make me cry more.”
”It's good that you know that,” said Francesca. ”Aiya! You made me forget. I was going somewhere. Now, get out of my way.” She looked at Clara and called, ”Clara, why don't you come with me?”
Clara noticed the peculiarity and nodded her head before joining Francesca to leave the room. But before leaving Dylan alone with Darren, Francesca said, ”Don't leave his side until I come back. If you dared move an inch, I won't leet you off.” Dylan nodded his head. ”And get rid of those tears already. Don't try to add more depression to this depressing place. Or I'm gonna throw you out as well. My son doesn't need to see your ugly tears.”
Dylan pouted sadly at her and lowered his head without a word.
