CHAPTER 219: IN THIS LIFE, I LIVE ONLY TO LOVE HIM

"Though I’m well aware that in our positions today, I shouldn’t be saying this."

"You’re already married and I’m the head of Levin Group, but there are some things that if I don’t say them today, I won’t have the chance to say them later."

"Mr. Levin..."

Yvonne’s eyes were a little dull on her pale face.

She just listened to him continue.

"You know I like you, just like I know you always like Zachary, and from the first time we met, I knew that I didn’t stand a chance."

"The first time we met, your dad tricked you into coming on a date with me, and you thought it was just a dinner, but it turned out to be a blind date,"

"You were wearing a simple T-shirt that day, and although you were smiling politely, I could tell you were distracted."

"You said that Zachary was your uncle, but the way you looked at him, it was clearly all adoration and love."

"I was just a little curious about you and why Mr. Taylor introduced you to me when he knew his daughter had someone she liked, I thought you would cover it up, but who knew, just the first day you made it very clear, you said you already had someone in your heart, and you wouldn’t change that."

Yvonne’s words at that time made Finn remember it clearly today after many years had passed.

At the time, she was sitting across from him, in the slight heat of early summer, and she was 18, still a student in school. Dressed in the simplest of jeans and white shirts, but as radiant as if draped in starlight.

Now, although she had married someone else and had their children, the innocence of childhood had faded. After all that she had been through, those sharp edges had faded away.

But within him, those stars still existed, and her light still shone brightly. "I often think about..."

Finn sat and smiled bitterly, "That day, if the person on the deck, who jumped overboard to save you, was me, would everything have been different...

That was a big day - Yvonne taking down Zoila Mooney.

That was really a frightening night on cruise ship. Both two helped out for her.

Yet he only helped her deploy the life-saving team, while Zachary went down to the sea for her.

He had lived with regret all these years.

That night, he also wanted to jump down to save her, but when he saw Zachary’s back as he rushed out, he backed off.

He didn’t know why, it was like after hearing Yvonne say that she had someone she liked, he got used to hiding this feeling inside his heart.

It had been hidden for so long that even he was afraid to face it honestly himself.

He’d always felt that night on the cruise ship was the first step in his missing out on Yvonne.

Yvonne listened, but shook her head.

"Finn, things aren’t what you think they are."

"Love, it needs the right time, the right place and the right person."

"That night for your birthday party, I actually strongly asked Zachary not to come beforehand because I knew it would be dangerous, but he ended up coming anyway."

"It was something unexpected, even I didn’t expect him to save me, so how could I...reject you for not saving me?"

Finn faintly stared.

After a long moment, he started to talk.

"So, even if I had saved you that day, you still would have loved him, right?"

Finn looked at her.

Yvonne pursed her lips and said seriously, "No matter who saved me that day and no matter what happened, I will always love Zachary."

"I love Zachary, it is something that was destined from the beginning, from the day I opened my eyes in the hotel, I decided that in this life, I would live only to love him!"

...

The other side.

The headquarters of the Leinster Group.

Yvonne hadn’t slept all night, and Zachary hadn’t either.

He knew that Yvonne hadn’t gone home, and he hadn’t either.

He was at the company now to try to give Yvonne a little more space so they wouldn’t be influenced by him and make good choices.

It was about five in the morning when King knocked on the door and came in. "Mr. Leinster, Mrs. Leinster is home now." "From the hospital?"

"Yes..." King looked at Zachary and said, "Mrs. Leinster met with Mr. Levin at four o’clock. Just now, she agreed to sign the consent."

Quiet.

Secretary King pursed his lips. He was nervous.

After three seconds, Zachary said slowly, "Got it."

*

Yvonne went back to Lord Villa, but unexpectedly found that Zachary hadn’t returned.

She intended to call him but she realized he might be working on something important. She ended up not calling him.

After a brief nap in the bedroom, she went back to the hospital around noon.

Both Frank and Yesmina were silent when they heard Yvonne’s agreement. But they didn’t retort.

Yesmina pulled her into the corridor afterwards and asked, "Does Zachary know about this?"

Yvonne shook her head, "I didn’t tell him, but he would have guessed." Yesmina sighed.

"Yesterday, how did Mr. Levin talk to you? We can’t just accept it for nothing without giving anything. For one thing, we can’t do this to Mr. Levin, and for another, we can’t make things difficult for you!"

Hearing her mother’s words, Yvonne was touched and reached out to hug her mother.

"Finn didn’t accept any kind of repayment. I asked him that but he didn’t offer any

conditions either, and he also said that after the operation, he would go back to his headquarters in Abari."

Last night, the last thing Finn said to her was,

"My dad has wanted me to go to the Abari headquarters for a long time. I was not ready for that. It was actually not on work, but my heart was not really."

"Even though you said that you wouldn’t love me no matter what I did or didn’t do, I still want to do something for you."

"Not for you, just for me."

"When the surgery is over, I’ll leave Hiltonan."

...

Yvonne made one of the hardest decisions of her life.

Even though it was difficult, there was doubtless.

Because, she couldn’t just watch her dad die.

One could only blame fate, not even the kidney of the daughter was a match, but Finn could.

...

Yesmina was a little worried when she saw that Yvonne kept being in daze.

"Yvonne, did Mr. Levin say something to you?"

Yvonne pulled herself together and smiled, "No, mom, Finn was a good person."

"Anyway, just don’t worry, I’ll take care of this."

No matter Zachary or Finn.

"On the contrary, mom, you need to rest these days, the doctor said that the surgery will be operated in three days. When the time comes to take care of Dad, you will be busy."

"Hey, what’s a piece of cake for me...

The strong woman Yesmina Sherman, who had never expected to have a naive and gentle side after getting married once again.

Yesmina said leisurely, "Your father and I are also getting older, in a few years, we will retire...but you, your life is just beginning. These years...the pressure will be greater and greater."

Yvonne and Yesmina walked shoulder to shoulder holding hands, "I understand."

"But don’t give up," said Yesmina.

"By that time, though, the pressure will be on and you’ll be more capable,"

"When you become capable of being on your own, you’ll find that it’s so freeing and joyful to be an adult."

...

Yesmina always knew Yvonne.

They were mother and daughter, they were also friends.

This time, she and Frank hadn’t expected that it was Yvonne who would end up making the decision.

It made them feel, all of a sudden, that they were getting old and that their daughter was grown up.

*

Yvonne drove back to Lord Villa this afternoon.

When she arrived home, she just happened to run into Zachary who had just gotten off the car.

Yvonne froze. She might be so tired that she stayed up all night last night. "Bang!" The car hit on the iron fence!

That was a huge sound. Zachary, who was talking to Mr. Glover, was shocked.

Yvonne’s car in glacier blue dented into a piece, but fortunately nothing happened to her. But she was frightened, she looked pale when Zachary hurried to check on her.

"Knock, knock, knock!"

The man’s knuckles rapped against the glass window.

Yvonne opened the door and got out of the car, saying, "I, I’m fine."

The two children had gone to the kindergarten at this time, so there were only the maid, Zachary and Yvonne at home.

Zachary’s face was not good, "Are you so scared to see me? Even crashing the car?"

Yvonne silenced.

Wasn’t it your problem to be frightened when I saw you! ... She was speechless.

Yvonne was guilty when she saw Zachar. After all, she had just accepted Finn’s help this morning.

But now, hearing Zachary’s serious tone, she was truly afraid.

So she didn’t say a word.

She stayed silent, which made him look worse. He walked off straight!

He was... gone!

Yvonne looked at his back and froze.

She lifted her foot and tried to chase, "Zachary! ...

But the man didn’t stop and walked in, without looking back!

Inside the house.

Zachary didn’t know why he was so unpleasant.

Probably mad at himself that he didn’t match the type, so that they needed that man’s help.

Maybe he was angry at Yvonne for not calling him all day, and for not mentioning it.

In fact, it didn’t matter if she agreed or not, instead, if she didn’t accept, he would still persuade her, but what did she mean by being so afraid of him?

Did he seem to her to be one of those small-minded, unreasonable men?

He was even more angry at himself for not being able to control his emotions and why he had just spoken to her out loud.

In the study, the man sulked.

Just then, however, she pushed the door open and came in.

"Zachary, are you angry?"

"No."

"... It’s all on your face."

"Do you care?"

Yvonne grinned, "Of course I do, you’re my husband."

In the past, he had long since lost his resistance to her being sweet like this.

However, today, Yvonne did not see the "thawing" on his face as expected.

Zachary still had a taut face. There was no hint of relief.

He was silent, and the atmosphere went cold for a moment.

"Honey, what exactly are you angry about?" Yvonne was also tired, and she didn’t know what was in Zachary’s heart, thinking that he was angry with himself for accepting Finn’s donation, her tone rose a little impatiently, "That’s my father, I can’t leave him to die."

"Do you think I will let you watch him die?" The man looked up.

Yvonne didn’t fully understand what he meant, "Then why exactly are you so angry?"

Zachary’s throat tightened, but he didn’t say anything after all.

How could he say that he was angry at himself for not being able to do something for Frank at a critical moment?

How could he say that, just because he hated his "incompetence"?

So when she said "my husband", he couldn’t feel the same happiness and sweetness as before, but he felt doubly remorseful and chagrined!
