Chapter 2173 Lina was overwhelmed with sadness, torn between two individuals she held dear.
She struggled to comprehend Edwin's actions and worried about the future interactions between him and Laura.
Dylan, deciding to be entirely forthright, disclosed, “They lived together for three months. But there was no pregnancy, no abortion.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtThey've completely broken up now.” Lina was left to process this revelation, needing time to come to terms with the complexity of the situation and its implications.
Lina stepped out into the front yard, silently taking a seat. Dylan's Labrador came over, gently sniffing her hand.
She patted the dog, her head tilting back slightly to hide the tears that had started to fall.
Outside the villa, a black car pulled up-it was Edwin's.
He exited the vehicle, his eyes meeting Lina's. The discomfort was palpable between them, but he approached the front gate and knocked gently.
Lina quickly wiped her tears, stood, and walked out, closing the door behind her.
“Mrs. G-—" Before Edwin could finish his greeting, Lina struck him across the face.
Edwin, usually composed and fair-skinned, now stood disheveled, his cheek reddening from the slap.

Lina, unable to bear looking at him, turned away. After a moment, she spoke up, her voice laced with suppressed emotion.
“Edwin, Laura is already struggling with mild depression. You didn't just play with her emotions. You pushed her to the brink. You can move on easily, but have you thought about Laura? For someone as headstrong as her, do you know how long it will take her to recover from this relationship? Her mother was indeed vile and hurt you and your parents, but what had she done wrong? And she’s already endured so much as a child. Why add to her pain?” Lina’s voice trailed off.
“You didn’t her around, and so we took her away. But what you've done —" Edwin, touching his cheek, looked towards the villa and whispered softly, “| want to see her." Lina's resolve was clear.
“Dylan informed me you've broken up. It's over, so let’s not dwell on it. You've already started seeing others, haven't you?” Her gaze was sharp as she looked at Edwin, adding softly but firmly, “Even if you did have genuine feelings, you know your parents would never accept her. | doubt Laura is that significant in your heart.
That young lady, Miss Smith, you met today seems nice. I've heard she's a capable woman. Just let go, Edwin.” As she spoke these words, a wave of sadness washed over her.
While she didn't want to oppose her daughter's happiness, she also understood the potential challenges a relationship with Edwin would bring.
Lina knew if Edwin had truly loved Laura, he wouldn't have ended things so abruptly or agreed to a blind date.
