After hearing that, Brian briefly told about Elise's past, about the terrible incident and how Elise had trauma. Brian also told Elena about his efforts to get Elise excited to continue her life again.
After hearing everything, Elena fell silent. Without realizing it, tears had rolled down her cheeks. Elena felt very guilty and sorry. If only she had tried harder to find Elise's whereabouts. Maybe all those terrible events will not happen to Elise. Actually, after the death of Diego's parents, Elena wanted to find Elise's whereabouts and invite her sister to live and stay with her. But because of her lack of finances and Diego, made Elena hold back her desire. She did not want to add to the burden on Diego's shoulders, who at that time was already struggling to find money for their survival.
But now Elena regrets, if she insists on seeking Elise's objection. Maybe her younger sibling has never experienced such terrible things and will never have a trauma.
"So, Elise still asks for a divorce from you?" Elena asked with a worried expression. Based on Brian's story, Elise's trauma was quite severe. And Elena worries that Elise will experience her trauma again if she separates from Brian.
"Yes, she still asked for a divorce from me. She said she would be fine and said that our marriage could no longer be maintained. And Elise also said she wanted to go abroad to continue studying to achieve her dream as a famous Fashion Designer."
Elena was silent, she remembered that when she was at her sister's orphanage she really liked to draw beautiful clothes and dress. Elise once said that because they were only orphans and did not have the money to buy fancy and beautiful clothes, she would make and sew clothes as she wanted. Elena knows that it will be Elise's dream, which is to become a famous Fashion Designer.
"So, I agreed to divorce her." Brian continued then paused to observe Elena's reaction. The woman was silent.
"Elena, what do you think?" asked Brian.
"If it becomes Elise's decision, I can only support her. I'm sure she can suppress her trauma and live according to her wishes and achieve her goals."
"Yes, I hope so too." Brian replied with a nod of his head.
"Elena," Brian called in a gentle tone and his hand tried to grab Elena's hand that was on the table and grabbed it. Elena's body jerked lightly but she fell silent wanting to see what Brian was trying to do.
"Do you know, what is the last wish of Mommy?"
Elena didn't answer Brian's question because the woman had guessed it by heart. Rena would have wanted her and Brian together. So that Dean has complete biological parents.
"Mommy wants us to come together and raise Dean together."
Just as Elena thought, that is what Rena wanted as her last wish.
Last wish? Elena thought about Elise again. She is afraid that Elise will be forced to agree to ask Brian for a divorce because it is Rena's last wish. In fact, his sister did not want to separate and divorce Brian.
Not getting a response or reaction from Elena made Brian frown a little.
"Elena, I'm so glad you didn't marry Diwgo. Maybe it's God's destiny to give me a chance."
"So, Elena, will you give me a chance and marry me?" Brian asked, tightening his grip on Elena's hand.
Elena looked up and looked at Brian's handsome face. Deep in heart, she missed the man in front of her dearly. She can give him a chance but to marry .... Elena is worry and hesitant. She was afraid that she would hurt Elise's feelings and .... Elena was afraid that she would not deserve to be the wife of Brian Fernandez, a successful man of great status and dignity.
"Elena," Call Brian asking Elena's answer.
"I'll give you a chance, but to marry you ... Give me time to think about it." Elena's answer surprised Brian a little. The man didn't expect Elena to say that. But at least Elena didn't reject him at all. And Brian promises he will change Elena's decision in no time, getting her to agree to marry him. After all, at this time he was still Elise's husband. So, Brian had to take care of the divorce from Elise first. So, a big smile etched on Brian's face. Makes the man look even more handsome.
"Do you miss Dean and want to meet him?"
"Of course," Elena replied without a second thought.
"What if you come with me back to the mansion, so you can meet and play with Dean." Brian's offer was very tempting, but .... Elena turned her head and looked at the diego who was quite far from where she was sitting.
"What makes you doubt? Are you worried about Diego and Mira? Elena, you have to give them time as new bride. So, come with me back to the mansion."
Brian's words have a point. Elena should be giving the new bride some time together. If Elena is still here, she believes Diego will always pay attention to her and ignore Mira, who is now legally his wife. So, Elena agreed and nodded at Brian.
"Yes, I'll come with you. I want to meet Dean and talk to Elise."
"Ah then how about you stay a few days at the Mansion?" Persuade Brian. Previously he said he would spend a few days in this city to Elise, but now Brian has changed his mind, it seems it would be better if Elena stayed at the Mansion.
Stay overnight? Elena hesitated a little. And did not immediately answer Brian's question.
"If it's just one night, I'm sure you won't be satisfied in letting go of your longing for Dean. So, it's better to insult a few days isn't it?" Brian flirted. Which actually made Dean an excuse so he could let go of his longing for Elena. And see often seeing Elena at the Mansion later.
Elena thought about what Brian said and finally she seduced by him.
"Okay, I'll go insult a few days. Besides, the boss where I work has given me a few days off."
