Chapter 194 - 194: Andrew Su's Residence Part 2



As the cold wind gusted in the air, Daniella's skin shivered. Sitting in the bench looking at the colourful lights hanging on the bushes she felt somehow peaceful. She knew what was going to happen.


The elder was quiet since they sat on the bench. He was staring at the same lights Daniella was staring at. He could not bring himself to give the cheque as he never thought he will find himself in that position.


He married his wife because of love. That's why he didn't involve himself to any of his son's relationship. But his softness seemed to be too much, given that his son Alvin got divorced with Elise while his grandson Nathan died. He knew that Nathan did not have a good relationship with Kierry. At first, he allowed it since his grandson loved her so much but after his great-granddaughter, Selena was born the two started to act as if they were not married.


He knew Kierry was hiding something but he did not object their relation. She was an orphan as well just like Daniella. She must have hidden so many secrets from Nathan that's why his grandson started to act like the way he did. He used to be a hard-working man but after Selena was born, he rarely came home and he was not even at his office, no one could find him and when he came back he was always grumpy and refused to answer anyone's question. In the end, the casualty in the cold war between Kierry and Nathan was Selena. She grew up with the maids or her grandparents around, therefore he couldn't blame the little girl when she always acted like a spoiled brat.


"Mr Su," the old man blinked when he heard the soft voice of Daniella. He looked to his side and found her staring at him with her eyes shining indifferently like the stars in the sky.


"You don't need to give me the cheque. I have more money than I can spend so please."


Hearing those words, Andrew Su could not help but turn stiff. He gulped hard and shove a hand in his suit pocket wondering if he lost the cheque and Daniella happened to pick it up.


But the paper was still in his pocket. It didn't fall and still in the same pocket as he left it.


He gulped hard, a little confused with his situation.


Tilting his head like a baffled owl, the elder Su stared at Daniella's eyes.


"How did you know?" he almost stuttered. If the cheque didn't fall down then how did she found out about it? He asked in his mind.


Daniella smiled faintly at him. She was able to read his mind, the confusion, and all the questions running in his brain.


She figured that to win the elder Su's heart, she must tell him the truth.


She needed to tell him about her past. How did she end up in the orphanage and how deep was her connection to the Su family.


Taking a long breath, Daniella eased her mind. She decided not to think so much she will not let her emotion take over her mind.


So, after she blew the hot air out of her mouth, her lips parted to tell him her story.


"Mr Su, I will need you to listen to my story. It will take some time but after this, you can decide whether to accept me or not," she paused and switched her eyes from looking at the Elder Su back to the colourful lights.


"you might get scared, so I will not stop you if you want to run."


The elder Su's eyebrow creased deeply in perplexity. Her serious tone and the grave expression on her face, as much as he wanted to refuse his lips have sealed themselves.


In the calm garden, under the stars in the sky, the elder Su listened carefully to Daniella's voice.


Her soft voice, every word she spoke was so clear just like the emotions her face was conveying. Her voice was so melodic as a violin started the story on how she found out about the chip in her brain.


Andrew Su felt as if a lighting stroke his brain. His brain cells were having a hard time processing the story she was telling. It was just so unbelievable that it made every hair on his skin raise as if his whole body was being sounded by a bunch of ants.


Time passed, the elder Su did not dare to interrupt her. He occasionally gulped to wet his throat and that's all he could do. He was afraid that Daniella would stop if he tried to make a sound.


When she finished telling the summarize of her childhood time, the woman smiled sadly at him.


He caught her eyes glooming bitterly. He could feel the pain in her words. The emptiness in her voice.


How can some survive it? He asked himself.


Is it even real? He thought in disbelief.


How?


How could someone especially a small girl survive with a chip in her brain?


He could no longer take the gloom of her eyes so he jerked his head in a different direction and let her continue.


Seeing that Andrew Su was sceptical about the story she told. She decided to tell him the story of how she was connected to his family especially to his son and his son's ex-wife Elise.


Daniella squeezed her eyes shut. A slight pain was throbbing her heart but it's not transforming into tears unlike before. Right now, it was just painful because of the thought. Seemed like her heart has finally accepted that her past was just past.


Revenge will not change her past and hurting people will not remove the painful memories she had of when she was locked up and lost her family.


She blinked her eyes repeatedly. No matter what she did, the tears won't show up.


Her eyes were not hot even though she felt a hand slightly gripping her heart by the thought of her mother.


She told him the story of how she grew up with the chip in her brain and how she and her twin brother were locked up in the laboratory though she hasn't told him who the mastermind was and who were the people that did the experiment.


Once again her lips parted, this time she started telling him the story of how her mother died including the true story of how Andrew Su's grandson Nathan Su died. And it's definitely different than the story the police had told them.


On the other side. In the dining room.


Elise and Alvin were giving Evan a cold stare, they were waiting for his explanation as to why did he propose to Daniella.


Elise's face screwed up in rage. She felt as if her body was thrown in a volcano pit with hot lava boiling inside, she was so agitated that her hands were itching to smash everything on the table.


"I need to speak with you in private Evan," Elise spoke solemnly and got up. She will not accept a no answer from him. She wanted to see if she can change his mind about the marriage, it was impossible she knew that very well but her inner voice was urging her to do so.


She walked and walked until she reached the stairs, then she halted in the corner and waited for her son.


When her son reached her, Elise stretched a hand and held his arm. Her expression mixed up, panicking that she will not be able to change his mind.


"Evan please don't marry her," she begged at her son, "I have never asked anything from you so please don't rush with this marriage."


Evan's face closed up, he didn't like the manipulation his mother was doing to him that even her touch made him feel disgusted. It should not be like this given that she's his mother but thinking of what she had done and how she kept the secret of how his brother died somehow made him despise her.


"You killed her family mom," his voice was emotionless and cold just like his face, "I am just giving her a new one."


Elise shook her head, "let's just pay her. You don't need to marry her."


Evan gave her a lopsided grin, "you are no longer part of this family when you divorced dad. And I don't treat you as my mother anymore since you hid the truth about my brother's death. So you don't have the rights to tell me what I should and should not do," his hands started to clench angrily, "if you were there, why didn't you save my brother? Was killing Alexandria more important than your son's life?" his voice was low but every word he spoke was deep and full of pain.


Elise shook her head in response, "no, please-"


"Stop!" he raised his voice a little bit, "can't you see it? You are doing it again," he shook off his arm to remove her hand.


"What?" Elise asked looking so confused.


"You are asking me to leave Daniella not caring if it will hurt me just because she was the daughter of the woman you despised so much."


Elise froze by the tone and words her son said. But it didn't matter to her. Every time she looked at Daniella, all she could see was Alexandria.


"Evan I am begging you. Don't let her be part of our family," she sniffed, tears were rolling down her eyes in big pieces.


"There's no 'ours' mom. You are no longer Su and you shouldn't be even at this dinner."


Evan turned around, he didn't want to say more hurtful words to her as she was still his mother.


"This is a mistake," Elise said in an almost whisper, "being with Daniella is a mistake and you will regret it one day!"


Evan abruptly turned around, his hands were still clenching in anger, he was fed up with her excuses and how much she tried to manipulate him.


"Mistake?" he rose a brow indifferently.


"If loving her is a mistake, then is it a mistake I will keep doing and never regret."
