“Stop avoiding me, Jacob!”

Hazel chased after Jacob as he continued walking away from her. She grabbed his arm, forcing him to stop before they got any farther from the café.

Jacob turned to her with an irritated expression. “What now?”

Hazel could hardly believe he was asking her that. After scolding her in front of Xena and leaving her behind just like that, Jacob was now acting as though she were the one causing trouble.

“What now?” she repeated with a short laugh. “Do you really not underst

    The next day, Max drove Xena to the hospital for her follow-up appointment. Once they arrived, they went straight to the registration desk before waiting for their turn to see the doctor.Xena sat beside Max, occasionally checking her phone. Max spent most of his time watching her, making sure she wasn't experiencing any discomfort after the drive from home."Are you feeling all right?" he asked."You've asked me that three times already, Max. And my answer is still the same," Xena replied with a laugh. "I'm fine. It's just a routine checkup, isn't it?""Even so, I still want to make sure everything goes well."Xena smiled faintly. "You don't need to worry so much."Before Max could respond, someone approached them."Xena?"Xena looked up. Jacob was standing not far from her seat, with Hazel beside him. The woman even linked her arm affectionately through Jacob's before greeting her."What a coincidence running into you

    That afternoon, after finishing her work, Xena walked out of the office building while checking her phone. She was just about to book a ride when someone standing not far from the entrance brought her to a halt."Max?"The man turned around. He looked tired, but still managed a smile when he saw Xena approaching."What are you doing here?"Max slipped both hands into his trouser pockets. "What else would I be doing here except picking up my wife?"Xena felt a little flustered. She hadn't expected Max to come in person after spending the entire day at his family's old house. Besides, the message she had sent earlier had only asked him to let her know once he arrived at his destination."Did you come straight here?""Yes. As soon as I could. Are you finished with work?"Xena frowned. "But... why?""Am I not allowed to?" Max asked with a soft sigh. The exhaustion on his face was unmistakable, making Xena feel guilty.

    However, Xena kept the thought to herself. She was certain Max wouldn't want to show her his sadness tonight. In the end, she chose to finish the warm milk Max had prepared for her before going to bed.The next morning, Xena woke up as sunlight began filtering through the gap in the bedroom curtains. She reached out to the other side of the bed, only to find it empty.Max was no longer there."Didn't he come back to the bedroom?"After washing up and getting ready, Xena went downstairs for breakfast. She looked for him in the dining room but found only Clara, who was making sure the morning meal had been properly prepared."Good morning, Madam," Clara greeted her."Morning, Clara." Xena pulled out a chair. "Has Max not come down yet?"Clara shook her head. "Mr. Max left early this morning, Madam.""That early?""Yes. He only had time to ask me to make sure you had breakfast before leaving for the office."Xena gave a small nod. She didn't ask anything further. It seemed Max had indeed

    Xena continued staring at Clara in shock. She had never imagined that Max's parents' deaths concealed such a dark story."Max's parents... were murdered?" she asked again, as though she still found it difficult to believe what she had just heard.Clara nodded slowly.Her expression turned somber. "That's right, Madam. I still remember that day very clearly. Mr. Max had just returned home after attending his graduation ceremony. He had also just received the news that he had been accepted into one of the most prestigious universities."Xena fell silent, allowing Clara to continue."Everyone in the house was so happy that night. Mr. Max had come home with good news. Mr. Alexander and Mrs. Elena were naturally very proud of him. We even talked about how he would continue his education." Clara offered a faint smile, but it soon faded."However, no one could have imagined that it would be the last night their family would spend together.""What exactly happened?" Xena asked softly."A grou

    Meanwhile, at the Montoya Group office, Hazel sat on the sofa in Jacob's office, scrolling through her phone.Over the past few days, things between them had felt different. Jacob still saw her, spoiled her, and spent time with her. However, his mind often seemed to be elsewhere.Even when they were together, Jacob would sometimes get distracted by his phone or suddenly fall silent, as though he were thinking about something.At first, Hazel tried to ignore it.She assumed Jacob was simply busy with company matters. But as the days passed, it became increasingly difficult for her not to notice that one name kept coming up in their conversations.Xena.Just like today, while Jacob was reviewing some documents at his desk, he suddenly frowned at one of the pages."What's wrong?" Hazel asked from where she sat nearby."Nothing. I just remembered something.""What?"Jacob set the document down. "For some reason, I fee

    Xena fell silent.She lifted her face and looked at Max. Her eyes glistened with tears, holding so many feelings she struggled to put into words. Those simple words sounded so sincere, so different from the sweet things she had once heard from Jacob.Xena's lips parted slightly.Of all the questions she wanted to ask Max, there was one thing she was most curious about. Had he said those words of love merely to make her happy, or were they truly an expression of what he felt?But how could she bring herself to ask?Before she could utter a single word, Max's phone, which was lying on the bedside table, suddenly rang.Max briefly closed his eyes, as though slightly annoyed by the sound. He then loosened his embrace and turned toward the table.Meanwhile, Xena continued looking at him. The words she had almost spoken remained caught on the tip of her tongue.Max picked up the ringing phone from the bedside table. He glanced at the
