Unexpectedly, one of Olivia's close friends joined the auction as well, and she ruthlessly 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.
