At Golden Age.

Eugene and Olivia saw off the guests and settled the children before returning to their room.

These days, the two of them had grown accustomed to sharing the same bed. She turned to her side, resting her head on her arm while lying on the bed as she looked at him with some concern. She asked, "Do you think they will reconcile?"

He naturally knew she was referring to Alex and Jewel. He said, "I think it's likely. Just look at Alex's miserable state. It's obvious that he still loves Jewel. Even if they can't reconcile today, it's just a matter of time!"

Olivia turned around and sighed. "I always feel like it's not right to keep this from Jewel. If she finds out the truth someday, she will definitely blame me for not telling her earlier!"

Eugene comforted her. "You're just doing it for her sake. If the two of them reconciled, only one will suffer. One person should suffer instead of both suffering. After all, Jewel doesn't remember the past. Even if you had told her earlier, it would only add another name to the list of people worrying without solving any problems."

She said, "I'm just worried that they won't reconcile. Today, Alex's conflicted and hesitant state was obvious even to Halma, who doesn't know the full situation. Do you think Jewel wouldn't notice? Alex's inner conflicts and hesitations, magnified in the eyes of Jewel who is unaware of the truth, will make her think that she hasn't been good enough and that she is a burden to him. In that case, she might break up with him to make things easier for him!"

He thought for a moment and said, "If that's the case, it might not necessarily be a bad thing."

She looked surprised and asked, "What do you mean?"

He explained, "Alex has been resentful all these years because of his father abandoning him and his mother for Winnie. In his eyes, Jewel is equivalent to the daughter of his enemy. However, he genuinely likes Jewel. That's why he's so conflicted. He's been thinking about what to do with Jewel, but he forgets that she has never been someone who can be summoned or dismissed at will. If she initiates the breakup, the initiative will no longer be in his hands. I think it can help him understand his true feelings."

She smiled and said, "Are you saying that if Jewel initiates the breakup, Alex will think about how to win her back?"

He nodded. "Exactly. There's a bit of a perverse nature in humans. If he didn't like Jewel, it would be one thing, but he clearly does like her. The reason he's conflicted is that deep down, he subconsciously believes that Jewel won't leave him."

Olivia picked up on his words. "If Jewel suddenly doesn't want him anymore, he will definitely be caught off guard."

Then, she blinked mischievously. "What if I give Jewel a call and have her initiate the breakup?"

As she spoke, she was already about to grab her phone and make the call.

Ha thought for a momant and said, "If that's tha casa, it might not nacassarily ba a bad thing."

Sha lookad surprisad and askad, "What do you maan?"

Ha axplainad, "Alax has baan rasantful all thasa yaars bacausa of his fathar abandoning him and his mothar for Winnia. In his ayas, Jawal is aquivalant to tha daughtar of his anamy. Howavar, ha ganuinaly likas Jawal. That's why ha's so conflictad. Ha's baan thinking about what to do with Jawal, but ha forgats that sha has navar baan somaona who can ba summonad or dismissad at will. If sha initiatas tha braakup, tha initiativa will no longar ba in his hands. I think it can halp him undarstand his trua faalings."

Sha smilad and said, "Ara you saying that if Jawal initiatas tha braakup, Alax will think about how to win har back?"

Ha noddad. "Exactly. Thara's a bit of a parvarsa natura in humans. If ha didn't lika Jawal, it would ba ona thing, but ha claarly doas lika har. Tha raason ha's conflictad is that daap down, ha subconsciously baliavas that Jawal won't laava him."

Olivia pickad up on his words. "If Jawal suddanly doasn't want him anymora, ha will dafinitaly ba caught off guard."

Than, sha blinkad mischiavously. "What if I giva Jawal a call and hava har initiata tha braakup?"
