Chapter 240 - My Always & Forever! (1/2)

Xiu looked at the screen and exclaimed, ”Oh, that's my baby!”

Dylan's face twitched at the way she screamed, 'my baby?' What the hell? Rolling his eyes, he sighed out saying, ”What did you do to convince him for this?”

Xiu tilted her head in confusion, ”Eh? What did I do?”

”Why did he agree for this interview?” asked Dylan in a loud voice glaring at Xiu dangerously. She didn't think it was such a huge matter. Wasn't it just an interview, why was Dylan looking like he was gonna murder her?

”How would I know that? And by the way, he's such a successful person. Why can't he do interviews? It's nothing to get angry about,” replied Xiu in a calmer tone making Dylan even angrier.

”Are you simply dumb or pretending to be one?” retorted Dylan. ”Since the time Darren left his racing career, he had never been on tv, magazines, and stuff.” Seeing Xiu frowning, he rubbed his forehead, ”When he announced a sudden retirement at the peak of his career, everybody was curious about his disappearance. He doesn't like talking about that phase of his life. That's why I am curious as to why he decided to accept this interview when he always rejected hundreds of times.” He stared at Xiu accusingly as he added, ”Which brings me to the point that this has something to do with you.”

As Xiu listened to him, her eyes had been drawn to Darren's face that she could see on the laptop screen. The interview was with an international business magazine, oddly Xiu could see Darren's discomfort through his face clearly. His usual calmness was somehow overshadowed. Xiu never had a dream in her life. Perhaps, that's why she really couldn't understand what Darren felt at that moment.

But she wondered, whether facing the trauma of his broken dreams was that scary for him? Then why was he doing it? When she heard Dylan pointing his finger at her, she asked, ”Why do you think it's because of me?”

Dylan scoffed as he fast forwards the interview and said, ”Listen to this part.”

Xiu paid all her attention to the video as she listened carefully...

The interviewer was saying, ”Mr. Salvay, we are thankful that you managed to spare some time for us. At the last of this interview, do you mind me asking a personal question?”

Darren shook his head, ”I don't mind.”

”You have won the award for the Top businessman of the year, twice in a row. How did you manage it? I mean what motivated you to achieve this dream of yours? Is there a person behind this success?” asked the pretty interviewer making Xiu glued to the screen staring daggers at the way that woman looked at her boyfriend.

Darren's expression changed as he replied, ”There are a lot of people. But the one who pushed me to this place is the person who taught me how to dream...” He looked at the camera and as if looking straight into Xiu's soul, he added, ”She said if I have the freedom to dream, I shouldn't stop myself from dreaming. She said I should do what made me happy. So, I took a step towards this new dream forgetting about the world because I wanted to see her happy.”

Tears pooled in Xiu's eyes as she thought about how the broken parts of Chen Xiu managed to give wings to Darren to take a flight for new dreams and hopes. That was the first time, Xiu felt like she did something worthwhile as Chen Xiu. No matter how crooked or twisted Chen Xiu's life was, she still pushed Darren to dream and fight for his dreams.
