Deep love: insatiable lover

-Grandfather, you can eat the apple, can’t you?

-Yes, it’s perfectly all right to cut it down a bit.

It was a pity he was almost her grandson in law. It was a pity his grandson hadn’t pursued such a wonderful granddaughter-in-law, but he was being teased by Isabel.

-You can’t lie, grandfather, you can’t eat until the doctor says it’s okay.

-Don’t worry, the doctor said you can eat.

The old man waved his hand carelessly, he really had a craving. It had been a long time since he had eaten an apple, and although the doctor had ordered not to eat sweets, this apple was not supposed to be so sweet, no problem.

Still not very calm, Vanessa put the apple down, intending to go first to the doctor who was treating her and ask about it.

What she didn’t expect was to meet Isabel outside, in the corridor, on a narrow path.

When she saw Vanessa, Isabel’s eyes immediately filled with suspicion.

She grabbed the bag in her hand and, with her chin raised condescendingly, looked Vanessa up and down with a sneer.

-There’s nothing special about you, I don’t know what Benjamin sees in you, Vanessa, you’re nothing unique and you’re a divorcee. How can you compare yourself to me.

Vanessa sniffed, didn’t give him another glance and quickly walked away.

-Vanessa, stop right there!

Isabel quickly chased after her and blocked her way.

You didn’t know, did you? My aunt had already spoken to Benjamin and I’m the one he likes for a daughter-in-law. I’m sure it won’t be long before Benjamin comes to you to clear things up, so please be sensible and stop bothering Benjamin.

It was a rather roundabout way of putting it.

-Miss Sanchez, I don’t give a damn what you say. What you want to do is none of my business either, I, Vanessa, consider that I have done nothing to you, and I ask Miss Sanchez not to provoke me again and again.

She wasn’t a soft persimmon that could be pinched by anyone.

-I’m just being honest.

Isabel grimaced and immediately changed her face again as she looked at the man behind Vanessa.

-Sister Vanessa, please don’t bother Benjamin anymore. Benjamin and I have been childhood sweethearts and have been in love for a long time. I’ve been in love with Benjamin since we were childhood sweethearts, and we’ve been in love for a long time. Both my aunt and uncle love me and have decided to make me their daughter-in-law, so it is useless for you to bother Benjamin. I know it’s not easy for you to remarry after being divorced, and it’s hard for you to meet such a good man as Benjamin that you don’t want to let him go. But Benjamin doesn’t really love you, and he doesn’t say so because he doesn’t want to hurt you.

Isabel pleaded tearfully, as if Vanessa really was as vile and shameless as she claimed.

There was a drastic change of attitude before and after, and the tables turned faster than a book.

Vanessa scowled at her and said coldly:

-Miss Sanchez, you can eat more than you can say. I have the right to sue you if you slander me like this.

-Vanessa, you should know in your heart whether I am telling the truth or not! -Isabel’s eyes were red, but she gritted her teeth and showed a strong expression, “I don’t want my face to break because grandfather likes you, and I don’t want to make grandfather’s illness worse because you’re angry with him. But Vanessa, just because I’m tolerant of you doesn’t mean I can take an inch. Even if you go out of your way to please Grandpa, Benjamin won’t be able to accept you.

Isabel’s ability to turn Vanessa’s genuine concern for the old man into a deliberate approach and ingratiation with malice is superb.

Vanessa understood at once what she intended.

For she heard whispers behind her.

Evidently, it was Elizabeth who saw someone coming and that was the reason for the deliberate change of attitude and the deliberate slanderous remarks.

It was easy for the uninformed to be taken in by her, and gossip is commonplace. Hospitals are also dull places, and the slightest gossip spreads very quickly.

Isabel was there to discredit her, so that everyone in the hospital would misunderstand her, so that she would not be able to visit the old man in the future.

Understanding her purpose, Vanessa curved her lips mockingly.

-Miss Sanchez, what you said, I’ll give it back to you now.

After a pause, Vanessa smiled and said:

-Even if you had thrown me out, even if you had gone out of your way to please grandfather, Benjamin would not have accepted you. Yes, you love Benjamin, and you love him very much. But love is not an excuse to tie a man down, let alone a bargaining chip to threaten. You can temporarily commit Benjamin to your life now, but the same method cannot be used for the rest of your life. Sooner or later your life will be worthless and Benjamin will tire of it. At that point, even if you die, you will have gained nothing.

Vanessa finished, ignoring Isabel’s instantly ugly face and striding away.

-Vanessa!

Isabel clenched her fists and gritted her teeth as she chanted her name.

Her eyes twisted at the thought of Vanessa saying she would get nothing even if she died.

Soon, however, a tinge of resentment and pleasure surfaced in her eyes.NôvelDrama.Org exclusive content.

Reaching into his pocket, he patted the recorder inside and Isabel gave a sly smile.

“Vanessa, I won’t let you take my Benjamin, ever.”

Back in the living room, Vanessa did not meet Isabel and did not tell the old man that she had met her and that something unpleasant had happened. After chatting with him for a while, as she always did, Vanessa left.

The car was still being repaired and she had come by taxi.

When she came back at that time, you would naturally have to take a taxi as well.

Unfortunately, it was the afternoon rush hour and the taxis were on shift. Vanessa waited for more than half an hour for an empty taxi.

The night was getting heavy and the evening wind was a bit chilly, so she couldn’t help adjusting the clothes she was wearing.

-Dylan, why don’t we eat out tonight? I’ve booked the restaurant, it’s especially good for couples and very romantic. I’ve also booked the nicest private room with a view of the whole of the Pacific City at night.

Brisa spoke with great enthusiasm, her eyes full of anticipation and joy.

She was excited because it was said that 90% of the couples who dined there are married, it was like a moonlight restaurant. Even if it was just a trick, she was happy.

Otherwise, Dylan was expendable, his eyes staring through the car window at the street scene outside, ever more distant.

A hospital happened to be just ahead and a familiar figure walked past.

The nonchalance in Dylan’s eyes disappeared and his muscles tensed for a moment.

-Stop the car.

-Dylan, what’s wrong? -Breeze asked uncertainly, as Matthew, in front of her, had parked the car.

-I have things to do, you go with Mateo to dinner,” Dylan said as he pushed open the door and got out, giving Mateo a look that told him to drive immediately.
