She knew that Omari liked her.
She just felt that having been through a marriage before, she wasn’t worthy of someone as good as Omari.
Not to mention that Omari still had a fiancee at the time.
With her pride, how could she ever compete with other women for a man?
“And you? If you hadn’t discovered Abbie’s true face back then, wouldn’t you have married her after the divorce? Even if it wasn’t her, it would have been someone else, right?”
She didn’t believe he wouldn’t!
Old Mr. Foley’s desire to hold his great-grandchild, Cheyenne understood better than anyone else.
Who would have thought Kelvin would reply without thinking, “No!”
“Huh?”
Cheyenne looked incredulously at the man’s handsome face, not sure what his “no” meant for a moment.
Was it a no to marrying Abbie?
Or was it a no to marrying someone else?
For so many years, Cheyenne never asked him the question, and Kelvin thought she never cared about him.
Now that she finally asked, Kelvin finally spoke his mind, “When I say no, I mean I won’t remarry. If I wanted to marry her, why wait until after I divorce you?”
He didn’t want to marry Abbie because he had always seen Abbie as a sister. Above that, it was just a debt to her life-saving favor.
Later, he found out that Abbie wasn’t the one saving his life and she repeatedly took advantage of his affection.
“Ah?”
Biting her lip, Cheyenne had always thought that Kelvin loved Abbie and that he hated himself because she occupied Abbie’s place.
But now he told her it wasn’t like that!
Next, Kelvin’s voice echoed in her ears, each word hitting her heart.
“Believe it or not, before I realized I loved you, I had never thought about marriage, let alone love.”
“Because of the tragedy of my parents’ marriage, I resist marriage in my heart. To me, it’s the source of pain for two people, and it can even destroy a family.”
“At the moment, when my grandfather forced me to marry you, it wasn’t that I hated you, it was the means that I hated!”
But he didn’t dare to rebel against his grandfather, so he could only vent his resentment on her.
Looking back now, he was actually quite unreasonable, and the most innocent was Cheyenne who was implicated by him.
Hearing this, Cheyenne smiled bitterly, “Is that so? What about the child?”
‘He doesn’t want to get married, but surely he wouldn’t refuse to have children too, right?’ she thought.
“No!”
“I never received warmth from my parents and with such a miserable childhood, I don’t have the confidence to be a good father.”
“Instead of bringing a child into this world in an unloving environment, it’s better not to let them come into this world at all!”
No matter how much his grandfather pressured him, he would never compromise on this point. This has always been his most genuine thought. As for why he said “any woman can have my child except you Cheyenne,” it was purely to anger her.
Over the years, there were women who wanted to get close with Kelvin but he had never been intimate with anyone except Cheyenne and Abbie. The former is his wife and the latter is his childhood friend.
Cheyenne didn’t expect Gracie’s influence on him would be so profound that Kelvin would rather live alone than get married and have children.
If Sam’s mental problem manifested as germaphobia, then Kelvin’s issue was deeply ingrained in his consciousness.
“But you’re nice to Cierra and Oliver.”
When mentioning their two kids at home, Kelvin couldn’t help but smile tenderly while speaking with a hoarse voice tinged with nostalgia.
“That’s because they’re our kids – yours and mine – anything you give birth to, even if it’s just a mouse, I’ll like.”
Not to mention that Cierra is such an adorable little girl.
As for Oliver… because he looks so much like himself, Kelvin actually finds him somewhat repulsive.
At these words, Cheyenne rolled her eyes at him before saying irritably, “Get lost! How will I give birth to mice!”
Kelvin laughed heartily before immediately apologizing, “Yes, we both look great together, so naturally our child will be exceptional.”
If it weren’t for not wanting Cheyenne to suffer any more pain, then he’d think about having more children with her.
Cheyenne liked to be in a lively atmosphere; having more children will make their home livelier.
The previously oppressive atmosphere disappeared when she thought about their two children.
Then she slowly opened her lips, saying softly, “Kelvin, when we have time, let’s go back once more to that lonely island from years ago okay?”
That island witnessed their love story.
There, they spent the happiest and carefree days of their lives, but also experienced separation and death. Those memories were precious to them.
She also knew that Kelvin later spent 100 million dollars to buy that island and named it after her. Kelvin had planned to give it as an engagement gift to Cheyenne, but an explosion caused the gift to be put on hold. After that, he never had the courage to bring it up again for fear of rejection.
When the man on the other end of the screen heard her words, his eyes turned slightly red. He thought she would never want to go back there again. After all, during those days on the island, she was forced to be with him and those precious memories were technically stolen from him.
Now that Cheyenne voluntarily suggested going back there, this was something Kelvin couldn’t even dare think about! Did this mean that Cheyenne was willing to accept him wholeheartedly?
At just the thought of this possibility, Kelvin wished he could sprout wings right now and fly back there immediately! But unfortunately he still had some things left here that needed attending first.
“Okay! Cheyenne wait for me; I’ll definitely take you back there.”
“Don’t you love roses? I’ve planted a whole sea of roses in my garden along with a beachside villa and swimming pool. We can watch sunrise by the beach in morning time then stargaze at night in our rose garden.”
Cheyenne was speechless.
Are you sure your garden doesn’t have any mosquitoes? They’ll bite us like crazy… but seeing how happy Kelvin looked made her unwillingly dampen his spirits, so she changed topics instead. “You’re being watched secretly now; please be careful yourself. Come back after finishing your work.”
Her concern warmed Kelvin’s heart instantly as all exhaustion vanished from his body. “Hmm… Cheyenne, take care too; how about I send Spider over again to protect you?”
Spider was an international mercenary whom he previously arranged by Cheyenne’s side for protection purposes.
