Chapter 110: Desi’s love saves Kevin’s life.
“Ansel,” Erica called out, seeking Ansel’s attention. “Don’t remain silent like this. Speak up and share everything you want to say.”
Ansel looked at Erica with gratitude. Indeed, Erica understood him very well. Instead of directly demanding that Ansel forgive Kevin, Erica chose to encourage and support Ansel’s decision. Erica believed that Ansel would find a good and beautiful solution to this issue.
As Ansel looked at Desi and Kevin, his voice carried a resolute tone:
“Both of you should leave and start a new life elsewhere.”
“What?!” Kevin exclaimed, taken aback. “Ansel, what are you suggesting?”
Ansel, with a composed demeanor, explained his decision:
“Company AB has a branch overseas, Kevin; I want you to go there and manage it.”
Kevin looked stunned at Ansel, not knowing what to say.
“Aren’t you afraid that I might betray you? And why should I listen to you?” Kevin asked defiantly after a moment of thought.
“Firstly, for the future of Desi and your child, and also for your own sake. Secondly, if you stay, you might be taken advantage of by others and become a tool. Thirdly, you have abilities and talents that need to be properly utilized. So, I am giving you a second chance to start a new life.”
As Kevin listened to Ansel speak, he looked at Ansel with a different gaze. Indeed, Ansel was deserving of Kevin’s admiration.
“If my answer is no, then what?” Kevin asked.
“You have to go to jail,” Ansel emphasized sternly.
Seeing that Kevin still had reservations, Desi tried to convince him:
“Kevin, can we start a new life together? I really need you, and so does our child.”
“Desi, are you sure? Are you willing to go with me?”
“Yes, I want to be by your side. I’m content wherever I am as long as I’m with you.”
“Ansel, are you being honest?” Kevin turned to Ansel, wanting to confirm once again.
“Ansel Brown never jokes about these things.”
“Alright, I agree.” Kevin no longer hesitated. It was all for Desi.
“Nika will take care of the paperwork and necessary things for the both of you,” Ansel said, turning to Nika.
“I know,” Nika responded.
Afterwards, Nika signaled the guards to release Kevin. Once he was free, he immediately ran to Desi. They embraced each other tightly.
“I’m sorry,” Kevin whispered into Desi’s ear.
“Everything is alright now,” Desi reassured him. “From now on, we’ll never be separated again.”
“Yeah,” Kevin nodded happily.
“Thank you, Ansel.” Desi then looked towards Ansel, emotionally saying, “I will never forget your kindness.”
“Don’t thank me; thank Erica,” Ansel replied.
“Ansel, thank you, and I’m sorry.” Kevin sincerely spoke, even kneeling down and bowing his head before Ansel.
“Tell him to stop; I’m not dead yet to have to kneel like that,” Ansel said irritably. Ansel’s annoyed demeanor made Erica burst into laughter.
“Alright, enough of that; both of you stand up,” Erica requested on behalf of Ansel. Erica kindly helped Desi to her feet.
“Thank you, Erica.” Desi expressed her gratitude.
“I also thank you, Desi,” Erica said happily, surprising everyone.Property of Nô)(velDr(a)ma.Org.
“Why?” Desi asked, confused.
“Because if it weren’t for you, Ansel and I might not have ended up together. So, in a different sense, you played a significant role in helping Ansel and me come together.”
“You’re really peculiar,” Desi remarked, causing Erica to give a blissful smile. Desi couldn’t contain her own laughter, feeling truly radiant. She had let go of all burdens and felt a lightness in her heart.
Seeing the two women smiling happily, both Ansel and Kevin shared the same thought and feeling. They were determined to do everything in their power to protect that smile forever.
“Kevin, I have a request: love and take care of Desi attentively.” Erica spoke up unexpectedly. “She deserves to be happy.”
“I will,” Kevin immediately responded, without any hesitation.
“Desi, if he mistreats you, let me know, and I will make sure Ansel handles him to help you,” Erica turned to Desi and said.
“Thank you, Erica.”
The story comes to a close as Desi and Kevin head home to prepare for their new journey in life. Ansel and Erica also return to the comfort of their own homes, content with the role they played in bringing happiness to the lives of others.
On the way back home, Ansel curiously asked Erica, “Now, can you tell me why you appeared alongside Desi?”
“This morning, Desi came to find me out of the blue,” Erica recounted. “She was in tears, kneeling and begging for my help. When I asked what happened, I learned that Kevin was the perpetrator behind the accident involving you, and you had captured him.”
“How did Desi find out about that?” Nika asked in surprise, taking responsibility as the driver.
At the mention of this, Erica suddenly wore a mysterious smile.
“Love truly is magical,” Erica commented, leaving Ansel and Nika both puzzled.
“What do you mean?” Ansel asked curiously.
“The reason Desi knew that Kevin was captured is because she had been monitoring Nika all this time.”
Erica’s revelation truly shocked the listeners.
“Are you kidding?” Nika couldn’t believe it.
Erica shook her head and added:
“At first, I didn’t believe it either, but Desi brought me to the place where Kevin and both of you were. Additionally, I couldn’t find any reason for Desi to fabricate that story. Throughout the past three months, Desi has been searching for Kevin, so her monitoring of Nika to find out Kevin’s whereabouts is not surprising.”
“Why did you choose to support Desi?” Ansel inquired, curious about Erica’s reasons.
“I was moved and, at the same time, admired her love for the person she loves,” Erica confessed sincerely. “Someone like her deserves to be happy. Moreover, I had no reason to reject her. Your mother also approved of me helping Desi.”
“Did my mother know about this too?” Ansel asked in surprise. “How did she react?”
“When your mother saw Desi in the house, she got angry, scolded her, and told her to leave. However, after hearing Desi’s story, your mother empathized with her. Desi apologized to your mother, and she was forgiven,” Erica revealed happily.
“I didn’t do anything; the decision was entirely up to you, mother,” Erica cleverly replied to Ansel’s enthusiastic speculation. Deep inside, she was genuinely happy for Desi. After all the suffering, Desi had found tranquility and peace.
Ansel tightened his grip on Erica’s hand, feeling overwhelmed with happiness for having found the perfect woman in the world.
“I am truly fortunate to have you,” Ansel unexpectedly confessed.
“Likewise,” Erica said in response.
“I don’t want to be invisible,” Nika grumbled in frustration.
“Nika, don’t be jealous of others.” Ansel teased, “Hurry and get a girlfriend.”
“Shut up, you foolish Ansel,” Nika scolded.
Erica chuckled amusingly as the two men argued.
A few days later, Kevin and Desi kept their promise. They went abroad to start over. Ansel had arranged everything for them overseas, ensuring they were well taken care of.
As for Ansel and Erica, due to Erica’s growing pregnancy, the wedding had to be postponed until after Erica gave birth.
