Obedience No More He's the One I Deserved novel Chapter 334

Dawn let out a small sigh.

She leaned back a little, trying to find a comfortable position to lie in.

"Jonathan, I'm so tired."

No answer.

The man looked up. His cold eyes were unreadable. When he didn't hear her say anything else for a while, he leaned over and pulled the seatbelt over, buckling it for her.

He shut the car door.

Then he walked around the front of the car and got into the driver's seat.

Dawn drifted into a hazy sleep. Somewhere between dreaming and waking, she saw her mom again.

Even though so many years had passed, her mom's face was still clear in her mind.

Vera was stunning. Her face and body were almost perfect. She loved looking pretty, but she wasn't into dressing up. Most of the time, she just wore a loose T-shirt and jeans.

When Dawn was about four or five, Vera would take her biking and playing ball.

Unlike other little girls who loved Barbie dolls, her dad would always laugh and say that her mom raised her like a wild kid.

One weekend, when her dad was working overtime, her mom took her to a nearby mountain.

They were both out of breath from the climb.

Vera had her rest at a small pavilion and handed her some water.

"I need to talk to a friend for a few minutes. Be good and wait here, okay?"

Dawn glanced into the distance and saw a tall figure.

It was an older man.

He was wearing a suit. She couldn't see his face clearly from the back, but she could tell he had a powerful vibe, like someone important.

She sat there drinking her water, watching Vera walk over to him. They said a few words, and then they started arguing. The next second, the man suddenly grabbed Vera's neck.

Dawn was trembling all over, too terrified to make a sound.

Luckily, Vera broke free.

It was the first time Dawn ever saw that look on Vera's face—angry, hateful, and hopeless.

The man finally left.

Vera took a moment to compose herself before coming back to her.

She smiled and hugged her. "Did I scare you, Dawn?

"Don't be scared. I was just playing a game with that man. Remember the play we watched last time? Just like that, it wasn't real."

Dawn blinked. Tears slid down her cheeks like beads.

"You're not mad, Mom?"

Back then, she was too young to understand. So many things in this world are spoken as white lies. Love doesn't exist without a trace of deception.
