Deep love: insatiable lover

-What did you say?

Dylan acted a little too out of it as he jerked himself to his feet, the chair behind him even slamming backwards under his force, almost tipping over. At first, no one was going to care about a stool.

Mateo’s face was also marked by obvious joy and he seemed particularly excited.

-We have found out that the lady was abroad and I have confirmed that the information is true. But I don’t know if she is still abroad, but I have sent someone to look for her.

As the news was confirmed once again, Dylan’s muscles tensed violently, unable to put into words what he was feeling at that moment.

A great ecstasy almost wiped him out.

Unlike the ambiguous and plausible news of the past, this time it was actually confirmed, it was true.

His Vanessa had really appeared in the city!

-I’ll leave you the company, I’ll go there now.

-Are you going yourself, sir?

What Mateo didn’t say was “what if we go and still can’t find her?” after all, even if it was confirmed that Vanessa had been in that city, who could guarantee that she was still there?

How sad would it be for Dylan if he himself went there and did not find her, turning his expectations into disappointment?

Mateo knows how Dylan feels about Vanessa, so he doesn’t want to think about it.

But he could only keep such worries to himself.This belongs to NôvelDrama.Org: ©.

Matthew bets that if he voiced his concerns, Dylan would be furious and beat him up.

So he swallowed what he had to say and went on with the rest of the preparations.

And when he left, Dylan came out of his ecstasy. As he had decided to go abroad to look for Vanessa, he naturally had to make arrangements for Cecilia first.

Dylan would not tell his daughter that he was going abroad to lose her mother until he found Vanessa, so that she would not be disappointed and upset when she returned alone.

Although reluctant, Lucas was the only one he could trust at the moment.

Enrique was busy with the Cazalla Group and Lucas had nothing better to do than attend the occasional seminar, so Cecilia knew him well enough to leave her in his care for the time being.

When he made up his mind, he called Lucas.

-Yes, I promise I’ll take care of Candy’s baby. Don’t worry, no matter how long you go.

Lucas was so happy to know that his best friend trusted him with his daughter that he couldn’t bring himself to go out for a walk. He had coveted Cecilia for a long time and wished he had a daughter as lovely and beautiful as Cecilia every time he saw her.

Now that I had such a great opportunity to spend time alone, I was certainly happy to do so.

-Don’t teach my daughter a bad lesson or I’ll make you regret it.

-I’m that kind of person.

Lucas bristled with disdain, happy to be done before he remembered to ask the business.

-Why did you leave your daughter in my care and go abroad by yourself? Has something important happened in the company? But that’s not right, even if it was, you wouldn’t have left without Candy.

-Vanessa she… has news.

-Really?

Lucas was also surprised, if it was true that he was going to Vanessa, trusting his girl for the moment would not be too surprising.

-Where?

-I’m just making sure he’s been here before, there’s no guarantee he’s still around.

Dylan snapped out of his headlong excitement; he was supposed to be the sensible one. He could not contain the mad thoughts and impulses of his heart that had led him to decide to go himself.

But I knew the chances were only 50-50.

Sobriety was indeed the cruelest of all.

Lucas froze for a moment when Dylan named a country and a place.

Apparently, once again, in some restaurant, he thought he heard Vanessa’s voice as she was leaving. He also turned around at that moment, saw no one, and then thought he was possessed and thought nothing of it.

Now it seems… could it really have been Vanessa at the time?

Lucas first shivered with excitement at the thought of this possibility, and then felt as if he had been put in a freezing cellar.

After all, if it really was Vanessa, he might have been able to find the person at that moment if he had paid attention to go looking for her. But he hadn’t, so if his best friend found out about it, he’d be skinned without dying.

After much deliberation, Lucas decided that it had not been easy for his friend to find someone all these years, so he could be angry.

So he confessed.

-Actually, the place you mentioned rings a bell. It’s me…

Lucas finished and did not hear his best friend’s reply for a long while, his heart involuntarily lifted. Like a prisoner awaiting trial, he dared not utter a word, awaiting the final verdict.

Oh no, his friend wasn’t going to get angry and skin him, was he?

Lucas thought apprehensively.

Dylan’s reaction was calm; he simply sighed, sounding dejected.

-When it’s time to find it, it’s time to find it.

Lucas was relieved then, thanking his best friend for not letting up on his insurmountable rage.

-Two crossed messages, at least to prove that Vanessa was really there, to prove that she was safe and sound. It’s all right, it’s all right….

Every day before Orlando was found, he prayed in his heart that Vanessa would be found safe and sound, and every day after Orlando’s death he prayed that Vanessa would be found.

Three long years had passed and the only thing that had sustained him was his obsession and love for his daughter.

And now, at last, there was news of Vanessa, confirmation that she was really alive and well. It was then that Dylan realised he had been so tense all these years, so worried that something had happened to Vanessa and that he would never see her again.

Hearing his best friend’s final repetition of “this is enough”, Lucas, surprisingly, felt particularly heartbroken.

-Now that Vanessa is known, I am sure you will find her in the near future.

-I’m sure I will.

As he hung up the phone, the corners of Dylan’s lips curved unconsciously.

Whether it came to nothing or not, Dylan’s mind was sufficiently at ease.

Even if it was… to see the city where Vanessa had been, I could live with that.

Cecilia was calm and understanding when she learned that her father was going abroad and that she would be temporarily hosted by Uncle Lucas.

-Then you must take care of yourself, eat well and rest well. Don’t worry about me, Candy will take care of herself and Uncle Lucas will take care of me too.

Cecilia behaved like a small adult, seriously and earnestly admonishing Dylan to take care of his health and get a good night’s rest.

-It’s ok, daddy will take care of himself and Candy too, be good and listen to Uncle Lucas.

-Mmm.

Cecilia nodded vigorously.

Dylan smiled softly, hugged his daughter tenderly and kissed her gently on the cheek.

-Wait for daddy to come back.

-All right.

The plane took off an hour later, a private jet.
