Chapter 454 - We Can’t Go Back
“Yuan Yuan…” Mo Yixuan called out his son’s name and a smile appeared on a face. It was a long time since he last smiled but he didn’t want to frighten his child.
Yan Yan’s face was flushed and she was very upset. She carried Yuan Yuan and took a few steps forward. She wanted to get out of this place as soon as she could, and she did not wish to see this man.
However, she had only taken five steps forward when the man gripped her tightly.
“Yan Yan, please calm down,” Mo Yixuan said with a heavy sigh and there was a flash of pain across his jet black eyes. His heart also clenched as he looked at her.
“Why don’t you take a seat? Let’s have a civil discussion.”
He was afraid that she would resort to extreme measures once again.
He Xiyan turned to look at this man. She had once loved him but now, she was consumed with hatred toward him. All she wanted was to live peacefully, so why was he constantly meddling in her life and even come to snatch her child away?
“I don’t want to talk to you,” He Xiyan said in annoyance and turned her face away.
Mo Yixuan turned to sit on the sofa and reached out his hand to tug at her sleeve, then gestured for her to sit as well.
“Yan Yan, stop kicking up a fuss, will you? I’m here now, so I will definitely bring you and the child home with me,” he said sincerely and his eyes were also very earnest.
He had never wanted to hurt her. She was hurting when they got a divorce, but so was he.
They have grown too far apart with too many things that were out of his control and too many misunderstandings between them.
He Xiyan carried Yuan Yuan to the other end of the sofa and there was a distance of about two meters between them.
She looked very sullen and felt extremely upset. Yuan Yuan also pouted when he saw how upset his mother was. How could he be happy when his mother was so upset?
Mo Yixuan relaxed slightly when he saw that she had taken a seat but he didn’t dare approach her because he could tell that she was very agitated and emotionally unstable.
He clasped his hands tightly together and his palms were sweating.
He thought for a moment before he said, “Everything is my fault, Yan Yan. I didn’t know how to protect you and how to love you, and caused you to suffer a lot.”
“Don’t mention these things!”
He Xiyan immediately cut him off the moment he spoke. She didn’t want to hear any sentimental words from him because this was all better left in the past. She didn’t want to think about her terrible past. Since it was all in the past, then letit remain so. She didn’t want to think about the mistakes she made in her naivety.
Mo Yixuan felt like someone had poured cold water all over him and felt a bone-chilling iciness wash over him. Nonetheless, he wanted to finish saying the words he kept close to his heart. He had never expressed his feelings and had never even told her that he loved her.
But this was the truth. He loved her and he had fallen in love with her a long time ago.
Mo Yixuan suddenly got up and slowly walked to her side. Then, he bent down and looked at the child in her arms. Those were his family, his wife and his child. They were already divorced but to him, she would always be his wife.
“Yan Yan…” Mo Yixuan wanted to put an arm over her shoulders, but He Xiyan instinctively dodged, so he ended up grabbing air, while her arms tightened around Yuan Yuan.
Mo Yixuan looked at his hand that froze in the air and he suddenly felt tears prick at his eyes. Soon, his eyes had clouded with tears.
He bit his lips so hard that he could taste the metallic tang of blood.
