NovelEndChapter 0406 Chapter 0406 Dylan shook his head. "I do have plenty of enemies, and sof them are good with tech. But none of them could compare to you. Your skills surpass even mine, let alone anyone else's." Suzy was speechless. Why did that sound like flattery? Still, as long as he was safe, Suzy decided to let it slide. She didn't press further.
After that, Suzy didn't spend all her tlocked in the pharmacy anymore. Partly because she was worried the intruder might return, and partly because her research on the antidote was nearly complete.
With his goal achieved, Dylan kept his satisfaction hidden, maintaining his usual composed demeanor.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtThe garden at Hillside Villa was vast and filled with Suzy's favorite flowers. There was also a grapevine trellis. Though it was winter now and lacked the vitality of spring, it still had its charm especially when it snowed. Suzy enjoyed sitting on the swing under the grapevine trellis. It reminded her of her mother.
When she was a child, her mother often pushed her on the swing, laughing gently behind her. But now...
The bittersweet memory caused a pang of sorrow in Suzy's heart.
As she was lost in thought, someone gave the swing a push from behind. Assuming it was Riley, who was also at the villa today, Suzy didn't even turn around.
She spoke softly, "After Grandma gave birth to Dad, her health was never the same. She thought Dad was too lonely and wanted to have another child to keep him company. But Grandpa refused no matter what. They argued over it for years.
"By the tDad was older, and Grandma was too old to have more children, they finally decided to adopt a child from an orphanage.
"If they hadn't chosen Charlotte back then, none of this would've happened. I wouldn't have lost my parents and my three brothers." She didn't want to cry, but the wind and snow blurred her vision.
A'deep voice sounded behind her. "From now on, I'll stay by your side in their place." Hearing Dylan's voice, Suzy immediately got off the swing. "The wind is strong here. You should head back inside." She didn't waste another word. After speaking, she turned to leave.

She had always found the idea of being friends with an ex absurd, om Whether it was a breakup or a divorce, she believed the best approach was to stay completely out of each other's lives. "Not even just friends?"
"You'll get married one day, won't you? And I don't plan to y single forever. When I meet the right person, I'll get married tool it's better for us to cut all ties now, to avoid misunderstandings with our future partners. No one would tolerate their partner staying in contact with their ex-it's a huge red flag." Pain flickered in Dylan's eyes. "So, you'd rather choose someone else than ever chooseagain?"
"Yes," Suzy replied without hesitation. "When it comes to love, I'll either stay out of it completely or start fresh with someone new. You're not the only man in this world who could move my heart." Even if there wasn't anyone now, there would be in the future. And if not, so be it.
Getting back with an ex? That was never her style. Schapters were meant to stay closed, and she had no interest in reopening them.
