Super Sweetheart of the CEO Daddy
Chapter 288

Alan was startled. He looked at Anne with his black eyes: "You don't want to marry me?"

"I don't want to!" Anne's answer instantly made Alan feel as if he had fallen into an abyss.

"Why?" Alan had been carrying an optimistic mindset for the past few days. He and this woman would definitely have a rekindling of their relationship. They even had an adorable daughter. Alan thought Anne had no reason to reject being together with him anymore.

But, at that moment, Anne's words had hit him hard.

"I don't want to hear others say that I was daydreaming, dreaming of being a rich family's young mistress." Anne ridiculed herself.

When Alan heard her words, his entire body trembled for a moment. He anxiously reached out with his hand, wanting to grab onto Anne's small hand.

However, Anne quickly retracted her hand.

"Anne, I don't understand why you've suddenly become so cold in the past few years. Can you tell me why now?" Alan heard the sound of his heart breaking. Her self-deprecating words just now seemed to have let him know everything about the cause and effect.

Anne raised her head, her eyes staring straight into Alan's: "If you really want to know, then go back and ask you mother what did she tell me all those years ago?"

"My mother?" Alan froze.

Anne knew that Alan was unaware of it. He did not know about the pain she had endured three years ago either.

At this very moment, Anne's heart was still very complicated. She couldn't ignore the deep feelings she had for this man, and she also couldn't ignore the reality of the problem they were facing. "Anne, tell me, what did my mom tell you?" Alan's current mood was a complete mess.

He had always thought that the reason Anne ignored him and calmly brought up the topic of breaking up with him was because he had too many gossip girlfriends.

But it was not. It was because his mother had interfered.

But he didn't know anything, and his mother never mentioned it to him.

"Three years ago, your mother suddenly found me and told me very straightforwardly that I'm not worthy of you. She said that I took the initiative to pester you. She regarded me as a woman without dignity. Alan, what she said is not wrong. In high school, I took the initiative to confess to you. Even though you weren't fond of me, I acted like a fool, thinking that we would be together someday. Everyone scolded me. They thought I love the power of your family. Maybe that's true. The reason why I would be so obsessed with you is because you have money and you are handsome.

"Anne, what's the point of saying all this? I know you're not that kind of woman!" When Alan saw her tears, which she had held back. He felt his heart ache.

"Alan, giving birth to Crystal was the biggest mistake I have ever made in my life. But the one I am apologizing to wasn't you, but my daughter. I shouldn't have let her come to this world because I don't have the ability to give her a complete family. But now, I want to mend the mistakes I have made. I want to give her all the love I have. I want to have money to give her a better life. Anne was smiling in her tears, but it was a very bitter smile.

"Anne, don't force yourself. Crystal is also my daughter, and I will give her the best life, so you don't have to work so hard." When Alan heard her words, he only felt his heart tighten inch by inch.

"In the past, I really don't want to let you meet with Crystal anymore, but now, I have changed my mind. You are her father, and this fact cannot be changed. But I did not ask you to bring her up with me for sure, because you do not have this duty and I will not force you. You can take it as me being selfish. I still hope that Crystal would be able to interact with her father. But don't worry, when you get married and Crystal grows up a little, I will tell her ... The reason why you can't stay by her side forever..."

As she spoke till this point, the tears that Anne had struggled to hold, still flowed down.

Alan was about to go crazy. His entire person becoming a string. Her words pierced into his heart like needles.

"Anne, don't say anymore. If I get married, then the one who will marry will definitely be you. I was too much of a bastard in the past, and too conceited, but now, I have already changed. I don't feel like there's anything wrong with me taking the initiative, because I'm a man. So I should take the initiative to love my own woman. In the past, I've wronged you. But in the future, I'll always compensate you more. Crystal is my only daughter. I hope that I'll have the chance to stay by her side and grow up together with her..."

"Alan, I am truly touched by your words. Honestly speaking, if your mother had not come to me to remind me of my despicable behavior, I really think that falling in love with you will be a very beautiful process. But now, it is too late for you to say all this." After Anne finished speaking, she carried Crystal and stood up to leave.

"Anne, where are you going?" Alan suddenly stood up, blocking her way.

"I want to bring Crystal back to the country!" Anne said anxiously.

"It's too late now. Why are you bringing her back home alone? Have you considered safety?" Alan was simply about to collapse.

Anne was actually also full of rage, and spoke out of anger.

"Then I'll take her to replace a hotel first. I'll go back tomorrow morning and thank you for your help these few days." Anne's eyes were still filled with tears. Her pitiful appearance made Alan's heart ache. "Follow me back to the hotel. All of Crystal's necessities are there." Alan said in a gentle voice, "Is that alright? Don't leave with the child because of anger."

As Anne listened to his gentle tone, it simply liked she had returned to the past when they loved each other three years ago.

'Alright, then let's eat and go back!" Although Anne's heart was filled with unspeakable bitterness, she had also learned how to remain calm.

Alan's tensed heart finally relaxed as he reached out to take his daughter, who was so scared that her small mouth was about to cry.

He was really afraid that Anne would be emotional and take her away.

Edwards Wayne and his family sat in the hotel's dining hall and enjoyed their dinner.

The atmosphere was very warm and Edwards Wayne felt as if he was suddenly in a dream.

A month ago, when he was eating alone, he had always been on alert for anything wrong with his food.

However, at this moment, he felt that even if he were to drink plain water, as long as he was surrounded by these two cute little things and the gentle smile of the woman in front of him, it would be extremely tasty.

"Daddy, look over there! Someone's putting fireworks! It's so beautiful!" Emma suddenly noticed that someone was releasing fireworks, which almost lit up the entire night sky.

Edwards Wayne looked outside. Those fireworks seemed to bloom in his heart, illuminating his entire life.
