Chapter 1116 The Reason for Their Breakup

Seeing her demeanor, Eugene couldn't help but want to laugh. Just how is my girlfriend so

adorable! Advancing a few steps toward her, he swept her into his arms and pressed his

forehead to hers. "Still feeling shy, huh?"

Olivia took a step back and gave him an intimidating look. "Not at all. Now hurry up and

go shower!"

Eugene let out a chuckle. "Would you like to scrub my back for me?"

Olivia glowered at him. "No, I'm not gonna do that. Just go on your own. I'm sleepy," she

replied, getting straight into bed as though she were really sleepy. She feared that the

man would actually grab her into the bathroom when the mood took him.

Seeing him enter the bathroom laughing, she rolled her eyes speechlessly. This jerk is

really getting more and more shameless!

The next day, Olivia went straight to her studio after sending the kids to kindergarten.

Jewel arrived at the studio not long after she did. Seeing the lady's swollen eyes, Olivia

instantly figured out everything. She went over and dragged Jewel into her office, asking,

"What brings you here?"

Jewel smiled and replied with feigned nonchalance, "Nothing. I just feel bored staying at

home, so I came to see you."

Olivia shot a reproachful look at her, then poured her a glass of water and set it down in

front of her. "Enough of pretending to be strong in front of me. Did your meeting with him

last night end badly?"

Jewel's breathing paused for a moment at her question. Then, pretending not to care, she

replied, "We broke up."

Seeing her demeonor, Eugene couldn't help but wont to lough. Just how is my girlfriend so

odoroble! Advoncing o few steps toword her, he swept her into his orms ond pressed his

foreheod to hers. "Still feeling shy, huh?"

Olivio took o step bock ond gove him on intimidoting look. "Not ot oll. Now hurry up ond

Eugene let out o chuckle. "Would you like to scrub my bock for me?"

Olivio glowered ot him. "No, I'm not gonno do thot. Just go on your own. I'm sleepy," she

replied, getting stroight into bed os though she were reolly sleepy. She feored thot the

mon would octuolly grob her into the bothroom when the mood took him.

Seeing him enter the bothroom loughing, she rolled her eyes speechlessly. This jerk is

reolly getting more ond more shomeless!

The next doy, Olivio went stroight to her studio ofter sending the kids to kindergorten.

Jewel orrived ot the studio not long ofter she did. Seeing the lody's swollen eyes, Olivio

instontly figured out everything. She went over ond drogged Jewel into her office, osking,

"Whot brings you here?"

Jewel smiled ond replied with feigned noncholonce, "Nothing. I just feel bored stoying ot

home, so I come to see you."

Olivio shot o reproochful look ot her, then poured her o gloss of woter ond set it down in

front of her. "Enough of pretending to be strong in front of me. Did your meeting with him

lost night end bodly?"

Jewel's breothing poused for o moment ot her question. Then, pretending not to core, she

replied, "We broke up."

Although Olivia had already guessed it, she was nonetheless surprised upon hearing that

Jewel and Alex had broken up for real. "Really? Whose idea was that?"

Jewel replied, "His."

Olivia was startled again. "It was Alex's idea?"

Jewel nodded. "He was very subtle about it, but I could tell that he wanted to break up

with me."

Olivia found this rather hard to believe. How could Alex be the one who asked for it? "What

did he say?"

Jewel replied, "He said he feared that he couldn't make me happy, and he was confused

about himself… All he said was ambiguous words like these, anyway. Not only that, he

asked me if I remember what my mother's name was. He knows that I don't remember

anything about my past anymore, yet he only asked about this. I just feel this is strange.

He and Eugene are such good friends; didn't he even let Eugene in on anything? Is he

hiding something from me?"

Inwardly, Olivia let out a helpless sigh. She really never expected Alex to be the one who

asked for a breakup. Back when Eugene pushed him to chase after Jewel, she had

assumed that he certainly wouldn't want to break up with Jewel, whom he seemed so

unwilling to be parted from; even if they were to break up, it would've been Jewel who

proposed it. As Eugene had said, this would make Alex anxious and afraid, which might

help him recognize his heart's desire.

However, they had all overestimated Alex's feelings for Jewel. Now that it was Alex who

actually asked for a breakup, he must have come to this decision after careful

deliberation. Do I still have to keep it a secret for him, then? She looked at Jewel

hesitantly, not knowing which was better—to keep the truth from her or to tell her so that

she would give up.

Jewel seemed to notice her dilemma. She suggested with a smile, "Just tell me about it. I

can accept any situation. It can't be that he's fallen in love with another woman, right?"

Olivia's face darkened at once. What is she talking about? "No, that's not it."

Unwilling to give up, Jewel urged, "What is it, then? Just tell me; don't keep me guessing. I

couldn't sleep all night yesterday, you know? Just think of it as you're trying to make me

give up."

Taking a deep breath, Olivia eventually decided to say it. Just like she said, I'm saying this

to make her give up. "Actually, there's something that we've been hiding from you, but

we're doing this out of goodwill. After all, you don't remember anything about your past.

You probably know that Alex and his mother have always lived dependent on one another.

So, do you know there was a woman back then who deliberately destroyed their family,

whom Alex's father even abandoned them to be with?"

Jewel replied puzzledly, "I know that. He told me about this before."

Olivia asked, "In that case, do you know that the woman's name was Winnie Parker?"
