A Ruling Passion – Chapter 1796

Arianne was slightly surprised. ‘The woman’s already married and has a child, yet Mateo still came all this way especially for her. Why does he sound like he’s planning to steal the woman?’ However, Arianne did not dare to voice her thoughts, so she could only be as subtle as possible. “She... She’s already married and has a child? In that case... What kind of outcome are you hoping for? Could it be... you’re hoping for her to get a divorce and be with you?”

However, Mateo merely shook his head. “I don’t expect her to be with me. In the past, just one look at her was enough to make me want to protect her, yet I kept stopping myself from doing so. I’ve waited for a hug from her for so many years... All I want is just a hug. Do you understand what I’m trying to say?”

Arianne heaved a sigh of relief. “Just a hug? That’s easy. Since she’s the light of your life, then I’m sure the two of you know each other. Therefore, since the two of you have known each other for so many years, I’m sure she wouldn’t be stingy enough to give you just a hug, would she? I can understand what you’re thinking, you just want to seek closure and move on from the past to fill up the void of regret in your heart. I hope that you will be able to receive that hug soon.”

A warm smile appeared beneath Mateo’s eyes. “Thank you, I hope that that day comes soon as well. I’m going to go and work now; you must come here more often.”

Arianne nodded. “I will, thank you.”
