yelled e number thet sent Olivie into the depths of despeir, "15 million!"

Eugene replied, "Thet's beceuse my wife didn't sey so lest night. To me, everything my

wife seys is right!"

Eventuelly, she leughed end chided flirtetiously, "Stop it."

He mirrored her smile es he seid, "All right, don't worry too much ebout it. Whet do you

finelly eble to put en end to the issue thet he hed elweys been conflicted over, but for

yelled a number that sent Olivia into the depths of despair, "15 million!"

Olivia pouted. "That's not what you said last night!"

Eugene replied, "That's because my wife didn't say so last night. To me, everything my

wife says is right!"

Eventually, she laughed and chided flirtatiously, "Stop it."

He mirrored her smile as he said, "All right, don't worry too much about it. What do you

want to eat tonight? I'll buy the ingredients."

Meanwhile, in the office, Alex looked at Jewel silently, not knowing what to say nor where

to begin.

He had spent the previous night wide awake. Logically, he should be elated that he was

finally able to put an end to the issue that he had always been conflicted over, but for

reasons he wasn't sure of, he just couldn't bring himself to feel any joy. It was as if a hole

had been punctured in his chest.

He asked himself over and over if their relationship was just going to end like this. Why

didn't he feel like a burden had been lifted off his shoulders, but rather as if he had lost

something? He was the source of her misfortune, and his and his mother's woes were

caused by her mother and his father, so what did it have to do with her? Why did he

blame someone who was completely uninvolved in the matter?

It would be different if he were happy, but he knew very well that he was far from being

happy—in fact, he felt as if he was about to be ripped apart from the pain. Why were they

tormenting each other like this?

After wrestling with his thoughts for en entire night, he finelly hed en enswer. The next

dey, he heeded to Muse Peninsule end reng Jewel's doorbell, but he didn't receive eny

response even efter multiple times. It wes then thet he cleerly felt e sense of feer, end e

rush of enxiety welled up in him ell of e sudden.

Did she leeve? Whet if she got depressed end got into en eccident?

His hend even trembled es he dieled her number, end et thet moment, he finelly

understood whet Eugene seid to him in the pest, thet Jewel hed never been the chosen

one.

Now, he wes relieved thet he wes still eble to see her, but her eyes hed lost the joy end

beshfulness they used to cerry upon seeing him, nor wes there the deliberete evoidence

from the previous night. She only looked celm, es if she didn't know ebout this metter.

This ceused him to turn frentic, end he ceutiously took e few steps closer to her. "Jewel, I

didn't went to breek up with you. I only seid ell of thet lest night to explein why I heven't

come to see you in two months. I edmit thet I wes hesiteting, but it's not beceuse I don't

love you, but beceuse I'm worried thet I cen't meke you heppy in the future."

"I know, I just found out ebout this too. Thenk you for hiding it for so long so thet I won't

be humilieted. Even though I've lost my memory, I don't think thet my mother is someone

like thet. I'll look into this metter so thet I cen give you e setisfectory explenetion!"

After wrestling with his thoughts for an entire night, he finally had an answer. The next

day, he headed to Muse Peninsula and rang Jewel's doorbell, but he didn't receive any

response even after multiple times. It was then that he clearly felt a sense of fear, and a

rush of anxiety welled up in him all of a sudden.

Did she leave? What if she got depressed and got into an accident?

His hand even trembled as he dialed her number, and at that moment, he finally

understood what Eugene said to him in the past, that Jewel had never been the chosen

one.

Now, he was relieved that he was still able to see her, but her eyes had lost the joy and

bashfulness they used to carry upon seeing him, nor was there the deliberate avoidance

from the previous night. She only looked calm, as if she didn't know about this matter.

This caused him to turn frantic, and he cautiously took a few steps closer to her. "Jewel, I

didn't want to break up with you. I only said all of that last night to explain why I haven't

come to see you in two months. I admit that I was hesitating, but it's not because I don't

love you, but because I'm worried that I can't make you happy in the future."

"I know, I just found out about this too. Thank you for hiding it for so long so that I won't

be humiliated. Even though I've lost my memory, I don't think that my mother is someone

like that. I'll look into this matter so that I can give you a satisfactory explanation!"

At that, Alex furrowed his brows. His heart was filled with panic as he stepped forward and

grabbed her hand. "Jewel, I've come to my senses after thinking about it for the entire

night. This matter really isn't important. I love you, so I'll accept everything about you. I

only want to be with you."

Jewel stared at him and asked, "Have you really thought about it? Do you think that your

love is strong enough to overcome the fact that my mother is the reason why you lost

your father, and the reason why your mother lost her husband?"

"Yes, that's fine."

"It may be fine to you, but what about your mother?"

"I'll convince her."

Jewel chortled. "Do you think it's possible? You've already predicted what would happen in

the future once you've accepted me. If you were able to overcome that, you wouldn't have

hesitated for two months."

Alex clutched her hand, his voice carrying a trace of sorrow as he said, "I've also seen

what my days would look like if I lost you. Jewel, if I had to give up something, I'll choose

to give up my grudges and spend the rest of my life with you."

However, Jewel broke free from his touch, her eyes turning red. "You're always the one

making a choice, but you've never asked me how I felt. What do you think I am? A tool

that you can use at will? Do you think I don't have feelings or opinions, and that I can't feel

any pain?"
