Chapter 177
Chapter 177 In all fairness , it was impossible for me to not be moved by someone who would risk everything for me , especially now that I was in a remote fishing village , with no certainty about the future .
In a foreign land , only those around me were trustworthy .
However , I still didnt want him to fall for me too deeply .
I knew all too well the pain of loving someone with all your heart but not getting anything in return .
With a long sigh , I slowly said , Dylan , please go out .
Im tired and want to rest Yvonne ….
Dylan still wanted to say something , but seeing my insistence , he could only turn around and leave , looking dejected .
As the door closed with a creak , tears welled up in my eyes .
I let go of my feelings for Hayden and also let go of my ability to love anyone .
Now , I had no hope for love anymore .
Dylan and I stayed in Naka Village for the next week .
The womans husband , Denton Cole , had gone to sea and hadnt returned yet .
I was temporarily accompanying her children , Terry Cole , and Irene Cole .
Terry was a seven year old boy .
His sister , Irene , was three and a half years old .
Both were at the age of clinging to adults .
Yvonne , whats on the other side of the sea ? Terry asked me incessantly .
He had never been to school and was curious about everything .
There is a city called Elysiumville .
I smiled and stroked his short hair , gazing into the distance .
Terrys eyes lit up .
I know ! A city is a place much bigger than our village ! Yes , Terry .
Youre so smart ! I nodded .
Irene was too young to understand our conversation and lay on my lap , chewing on a shrimp bigger than her face .
Although this place was isolated from the world , the environment had not been polluted , and the seafood was very fresh .
Even after eating fish for several days , I didnt feel tired of it .
As we were talking , Nagume Cole came over with a plate of dried shrimp .
What are you doing with Yvonne ? Shes not fully recovered yet and needs more rest .
Its alright , Nagume .
I smiled .
I felt a bit stuffy inside and wanted to come out for a bit .
Chatting with the kids really lifted my spirits .
A childs world was so pure and innocent , free from the schemes and plots of the adult world .
Looking at their cuteness , I couldnt help but imagine if my own child would be this adorable in the future .
Hearing this , Nagume divided the dried shrimp between Terry and Irene and sent them off to play .
Chapter 172 Yvonne , youre too thin .
Fish doesnt help you gain weight .
Ive asked the neighbor to get some chicken for you .
Nagume said while sitting beside me and holding my hand .
My heart warmed , and I felt a little embarrassed .
Nagume , you dont have to go through so much trouble .
Dylan and I are already burdening you enough by staying here .
was very underdeveloped and poor here , and the diet mainly consisted of seafood .
Pigs and chickens were considered very precious .
I heard Terry say that youre teaching him to read .
He likes you very much ! Nagume laughed .
She was unrestrained and straightforward .
I couldnt help but look in the direction of Terry and Irene , my heart softening even more .
I said .
Terry and Irene are really well behaved .
Nagume seemed to see something and smiled , As women , we all like children .
When are you planning to have children ? My face stiffened , and I awkwardly changed the subject , Its still early ..
I think Dylan is very good to you .
Wouldnt you consider him ? Nagume asked again .
She was a straightforward person .
She had lived in this village for many years and didnt have many rules and regulations , so she just said what she thought .
1 frowned slightly and quickly explained , You misunderstood , Nagume .
I am already married .
Nagume was stunned for a moment .
She probably didnt see a ring on my hand , so she thought I wasnt married yet .
The wedding ring with Hayden probably fell into the sea .
However , it was the same with or without it .
It took her a while to recover .
She cleared her throat and said , Dylan is so nice to you .
I thought you two were … Where is your husband ? He must be worried sick about you He probably wishes I were dead .
I sneered and felt that Hayden was probably celebrating with his buddies right now .
Even without Joanna , he would always find someone else to love .
He was never short of female company .
Nagume was completely speechless .
She soon guessed that I was a person with a long past .
She sighed .
Men are all the same .
When I was young .
I took love too seriously .
I had to come here .
Look , my children are suffering … As she spoke, her eyes welled up with tears .
Her family was not well off .
They were from a small village on the border of Elysiumville .
She met Denton when she came here with her family to work .
Young love was always impulsive and passionate .
At that time , Nagumes parents threatened her with their lives , trying to get her to give up on this relationship .
However , she was determined to marry him .
In the end , she cut off all ties with her family .
Fortunately , her two children turned out to be clever , and her husband was quite caring .
However , day to day poverty gradually wore down their initial love .
Seeing that her children were so big and still unable to receive an education , Nagume began to regret her decision .
2/3 Chapter 177 She felt as if she could see her children growing up and following in her footsteps many years later .
Recalling everything that had happened in the first half of her life , Nagume couldnt help but start to cry .
I saw the deep longing for her parents in her eyes and couldnt help but ask, After all these years , havent you gone back to Elysiumville to see them ? Nagume wiped her tears and shook her head .
How could I dare to go back ? When I married my husband , I said I would never see them agam .
My mother cried every day because of me .
After all this time , shes probably forgotten about me … She didnt dare to go back .
Her life was in such a mess , so there was no way she would dare to see her parents in this condition .
saw a glimmer of hope in her eyes , so I suggested , Nagume , if I can go back , I will definitely visit your parents and tell them that you are doing well now .
Really ? she looked at me in shock .
Yes .
You and Denton saved Dylan and me .
We should repay you .
I nodded and said seriously .
Nagume wanted to say something , but Terry ran towards us , Mom ! Dad is back !
