Alex was startled. Just when he was about to continue, he wondered how she had realized that he wanted to break up.

He was just explaining the reason why he didn't reach out to her for the past two months.

"That's not what I meant, Jewel."

Jewel made a gesture to stop him. "All right. There's no need to say anything more."

As she spoke, she turned to the driver in the front seat. "Could you please stop the car? Thank you!"

The driver glanced confusedly at Alex in the rearview mirror. He did not receive any instructions from Alex, so he maneuvered the car to stop by the roadside.

She was about to get out of the car when Alex suddenly came back to his senses and grabbed her. "Jewel!"

At that moment, he felt as if something was draining away from his life, and his heart throbbed sharply.

Her gaze fell on his hand holding hers. "I'll transfer the mediation money to you when I get back."

He had no intention of asking for any money. He looked at her anxiously and said, "We're not breaking up, Jewel. I never intended to break up with you."

She looked at him with her calm and untroubled eyes, as if she could see through his heart. She spoke again. "You really never thought about it?"

He was momentarily speechless, and he felt an inexplicable sense of panic rising within him.

Had he never thought about it? In fact, he had thought about it more than once!

He just hadn't expected her to see through him!

Jewel looked at him and her smile was flawless. "Actually, if you had told me earlier, I would have been more grateful. I know you feel it's difficult to bring it up to me, but it's not too late to say it now. You don't have to feel sorry for me. I understand. After all, she's your mother. No matter what sort of relationship we share, it can never replace her. Take good care of Mrs. Road. I'm leaving!"

With that, she broke free from Alex's grasp and got out of the car.

He stared blankly at his empty palm and his heart suddenly ached as if he had been pierced by a thousand arrows.

No! That was not it!

It wasn't because of this that he was tangled and hesitant.

He was genuinely concerned about their future together.

He knew he loved her, but he didn't know if he could wholeheartedly love Winnie's daughter.

He just hadn't figured it out yet.

He didn't want to break up. After all this time of being tangled, he couldn't bring himself to break up with her. How did she come to the conclusion that he wanted to break up? He had been thinking of letting go of past grievances and giving it a try with her.

In a state of panic, he got out of the car and stumbled after her.

However, Jewel had already boarded another cab and left.

She was gone.

They had really broken up!

Alex's eyes turned crimson, and his heart was filled with pain. Why did fate treat them like this? After being separated by a twist of fate for eight years, he had waited earnestly for eight years, and Jewel had endured eight years of hardship. They finally found each other again and got back together, only to find out now that she was Winnie's daughter.
