Deep love: insatiable lover

Since Vanessa didn’t want to say it, Dylan didn’t force her.

By the time Dylan intended to do anything else, someone had alerted Philip to his presence and he called him shortly.

-Dad? -What’s wrong?

-Vanessa, did Dylan come looking for you?

Hearing Felipe’s question, Vanessa turned pale and her heart almost stopped beating. She tried to calm down, but there was a bastard bothering her and Vanessa warned him with her eyes to shut up.

Dylan laughed lightly, gesturing to be quiet, and then Vanessa responded to Philip:Text property © Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org.

-Yes, Dylan came to bring me something. Is something wrong, Dad?

-I just have something to talk to Dylan, tell him to come to my office.

-Okay.

Vanessa hung up the phone and her smile immediately disappeared. Then she looked at Dylan and questioned:

-What have you done to my father?

-It’s probably because Philip is so appreciative of my wisdom,” Dylan replied cheekily.

Vanessa was speechless, because Dylan was the most shameless person she had ever seen in her life.

-Hurry up, my father is waiting for you.

It was a pity, but Dylan left without stopping, because they would have more time in the future.

As Vanessa was about to leave work, she received a call from Mercedes saying that she had prepared her favourite dishes and to come back with Orlando for dinner.

Vanessa made an excuse and said that Orlando was busy. Then Mercedes told her to come back in Felipe’s car.

Just then, Vanessa wanted to talk to Philip, but she kept silent on the way back because she was still thinking and Philip was busy with work.

As they were arriving home, Vanessa saw that Felipe had grown grey hair and realised that her father was no longer young. Suddenly, she felt so sad that she hugged Felipe.

-Dad.

-What’s wrong? -Felipe put his work aside and looked at her worriedly. What’s wrong? Are you sad?

-Nothing, I just want to hug you.

-What a child! You look like you’re three years old, it’s a good thing Orlando isn’t here, he’d laugh at you.

-Dad! -Vanessa complained jokingly and made Philip laugh.

-My daughter is the best!

-Yes, my dad is also the best!

Vanessa indulged her father and even gave him a massage before coming home.

When Mercedes came out of the kitchen at the sound of the noise, seeing that Vanessa and Felipe had happily come in, she said jealously:

-For God’s sake, if you work together every day, why are you still stuck at home?

Vanessa knew her mother was jealous, so she let go of Felipe and went to give her a hug, plus a little kiss.

-Mummy, I miss you!

-What a child! -Mercedes complained with a cheerful smile.

Melina stood on the stairs, glaring hatefully at the loving family and gripped the railing tightly.

-Good night, Papa, Mercedes and Vanessa,” said Melina when she calmed down.

Melina’s sudden appearance interrupted the good atmosphere in the room.

Mercedes was polite, smiled politely at her and returned to the kitchen. Philip, however, nodded coldly in response to her greeting, for he did not like this accidental daughter at all, much less was he going to treat her with as much affection as Vanessa.

Although Melina had grown accustomed to Philip’s attitude, she still hated Vanessa more, because as Philip’s daughters they were treated so differently.

Melina smiled sheepishly for pity’s sake, while holding in her displeasure. This face was completely different from her other proud face with Orlando in front of Vanessa, but Vanessa didn’t want to worry her parents and didn’t bother to say it either.

Vanessa went upstairs to change and ignored Melina completely.

Nevertheless, Melina held her anger and sat down opposite Philip.

-Dad, the temperatures are dropping and you need to take more care of yourself,” said Melina, smiling.

-Okay,” Philip replied coolly and didn’t even look at her.

Melina gritted her teeth to stifle her anger and said:

-I’m going to the kitchen to see if I can help Mercedes.

-Don’t go bothering Mercedes,” said Felipe in disgust.

Melina couldn’t hold it in any longer, tried to contain her smile and whispered:

-I understand.

That said, Melina ducked her head in pity, but her eyes were filled with hatred.

It was a quiet dinner because of Melina’s presence. As it was not the time to break up, Melina went to her room after finishing it so as not to bother Felipe any more.

The maid did the dishes and the three of them sat down on the sofa. It had been a long time since Vanessa had got married, so Vanessa really appreciated this occasion.

They chatted and talked about Melina.

Mercedes gradually accepted Melina after the initial displeasure, because she felt sorry for Melina because she had suffered a lot with her biological mother and when she had come to the Cazalla family she was down to her last bones. Moreover, as Vanessa was only a year older than Melina, Mercedes took pity on her.

Actually, as an aristocratic lady, Mercedes had the right to throw the bastard children out of the house, giving them financial support, but she did not do so. She had treated Melina very well after accepting her, and she had treated Vanessa and Melina equally in economic terms.

However, Mercedes was not able to love Melina as much as Vanessa because of her origin, but she also worried about Melina’s marriage when she saw that her daughter had married and said:

-Vanessa, Melina is at the age when she’s ready to have boyfriends, introduce me to a nice boy so I can take a look at her.
