Chapter 305: Trenton Is Coming After Back
Thea was taken aback when she heard the name. Her face turned serious.
"He... He’s back? That’s even more reason for you to stay. If you’re here, Mr. Wilson can protect you and the kids."
"Or maybe I should just leave the kids here," Chantelle said, not really paying attention to Thea’s words.
She was thinking about how Daniel’s warm, gentle eyes had suddenly turned cold as ice.
Thea looked at Chantelle for a moment, then held her hand and spoke seriously. "Chantie, I think you already made your decision from the start, didn’t you? When you found out Trenton was coming back, you’d already decided to stay here with the kids. But hearing about Mr. Wilson’s engagement shook you."
She noticed the sadness in Chantelle’s eyes, and that told her she was right.
"This isn’t like you. I thought you’d send the kids somewhere safe and go face Trenton yourself, even if it meant risking everything. But this time, you don’t want to pull the kids away from this peaceful life... because deep down, you don’t want to leave Daniel."
Each word hit something deep in Chantelle’s heart. She wanted to argue, but nothing came to her mind.
"I know you’ve been avoiding love, pretending it’s not important. But Daniel has already found a way back into your heart. Even if you run far away, your heart’s still going to be here with him. Chantie, it’s time to face it."
I shouldn’t let emotions and relationships hold me back. I have more important things to take care of, Chantelle thought to herself.
"Thank you, Thea!" Chantelle stood up suddenly and the sadness in her eyes was completely gone.
