Chapter 53 - Silvia, Sorry, I Can't!

Silvia interrupted Dexter's words, "I don't want to hear the same words! I will never give up!" Silvia firmly spoke.

"What didn't I do for you, huh? Following you from the age of 16, doing whatever you like. Not giving up even when you put forward ridiculous terms!

Do you remember, when you said, you like women who are mature, strong, and independent? I did it! I left my parents and followed you to live independently. Apart from tuition fees, I didn't ask my parents for anything at all. I went to work part-time to pay for my living and also—"As if she had realized one thing, Silvia immediately stopped her words. She fell silent. Her chest flared up. She neutralized the feeling of being chaotic.

"Why do you think I did all that things? Can't you see me? Open your eyes, brother! Please look at me! What does she have that I don't have? What is her greatness? In fact, she's a lot different from your typical favorite wife, right? Then why did you choose her? Why brother? Sob ... Sob ... Sob ..."

In the midst of her heartbreaking words, Silvia was also releasing the pain she had been harboring for so long. That was right. It had been 5 years, to be precise, since Kaili's presence. She really didn't have a chance to win Dexter's love anymore.

However ... Was it true because of Kaili that Dexter turned away? Obviously, no! He loved Silvia since the first time his mother said that Silvia would be his friend, who would be a substitute for his female fetus who had miscarried. He had also loved Silvia ever since. Until now, he still loved her. It was just that, it didn't develop into a loving stage like a man loved his woman.

"We have been together for 20 years. I also went to follow you to America to attend school since 16. We are always together, even until now, but why can't you love me? Why is she, who you've only known for 5 years, so easily got into your heart? Why? Why, brother? I want to know that! I will do the same, which she did, whatever it is, as long as you can love me a little."

"Via-"

"No....."

Silvia quickly interrupted Dexter's words again, afraid that she might hear something painful again. Dexter's refusal was like the point of a sharp spear stabbing right in the heart. She was terrified to hear that.

"I don't want to hear any words! I won't give up on my love, I won't, brother! I will continue to chase you, if necessary, I will be your shadow. No one can stop me. Remember, until now, I was the only woman who was still recognized as your fiancé. These are the facts!"

"Silvia…" Dexter's voice sounded very firm. "Why are you still like this? How am I with you, you know it better. Please don't be like this. You deserve the best, and it's not me."

Dexter was also very sad to see Silvia like this.

"I don't want to hear anything! Why? You have just known her for a few years but she can take your heart! Why can't I? I can't believe this. After all I did, you didn't like me. I can't believe you never loved me a bit."

"Silvia ..." Dexter was at a loss. He moved away from Silvia and sat on a chair. "I got married. I am the husband of another woman. The lesson you got from your family, of course, doesn't allow you to chase after something that already belongs to someone else, right?"

"She who snatched you from me! I do not!"

Dexter closed his eyes, then calmly said, "No, she never snatched me, I cunningly tied her to my side. I want her. "

Silvia's blood boiled at Dexter's confession but she wouldn't stop there. So what if Dexter refused? Since long time ago, Dexter had rejected her. If it weren't for Dexter's mother who was sick and kept insisting that they get engaged, maybe up until this point, the engagement would never have happened.

"I don't care for any reason!" Her heart was so fragile and tired. Earlier, her voice was still loud but now, it turned to be trembling.

"Brother, leave her, can you? She never loved you! She doesn't like your job. She insulted you for being just a doctor, obviously not the kind of woman you want to marry. Don't you just want to marry a woman who doesn't see your power but only because of your love? She really doesn't suit you! I who love you. I don't care about anything other than just your love. Can't you look at me and try to open your heart just a little for me?"

The countless times Silvia begged him, Dexter's heart couldn't open up to him. A daughter from the Zendrada family was begging for love? This seemed ridiculous. But she still lowered her self-esteem as long as Dexter could be owned by her and loved her back. It was already a reward for all the humility she had been doing all this time.

Silvia stretched out her hand, touching Dexter's handsome face with her soft palms. "Come on! Let's start everything from the beginning, brother. It's still not too late. Come back to me, will you?" Her hand was cold and shaking.

Dexter looked at this woman in front of him with a complicated feeling. In the past, his thoughts had been only about how to get Silvia to get him out of her heart. Dexter realized this was unfair to her. However, apart from never trying to love her, Dexter still had one other reason, his younger brother, Kenzie Chiro, who had been fond of Silvia for a long time.

He brushed Silvia's hand softly, "Silvia, sorry, I can't!"

Again and again the same answer! Silvia was very tired of hearing this answer. Was there no way of rejection better than this?
