I Gave Up On The Conquer Target

[Got it. I’ll start building your exit route right away. You have seven days to say goodbye to your family.]

I listened to the system’s calm voice in a daze.

A long moment passed before I could finally manage a weak smile and responded, “Okay.”

‘Say goodbye to my family, huh?’ I thought.

If my husband, Finnian White, and my son, Benjamin White, knew I was leaving, would they be happy about it?

Five years ago, after the successful mission, I chose to stay in this world and spend the rest of my life with Finnian.

Back then, the system tried to warn me, but I did not listen. I swore to the system that Finnian would love me forever.

I never expected that just a few years later, I would wake up the system and ask to go home.

I was sitting in the living room for a long time when Finnian finally returned.

He walked over to me, placed his hand on my shoulder, and said with a guilty face, “Violet’s ankle sprain is quite serious, so I came home late. If you’re feeling unwell, we can just do the birthday celebration for Ben tomorrow.”

I gently brushed his hand away and shook my head.

“No, it’s fine. I just didn’t notice when you came in.”

Finnian looked at me, carefully observing my expression, and probed further.

“I called your name a bunch of times when I walked in, and you didn’t answer. I thought you were still mad at me.”

He was always probing me. When I ignored him, he got upset. But when I lost my temper with him, he would say I was being immature.

Even after seven years together, I could not figure out his thoughts.

In the past, he used to tease me all the time. Whenever I acted all clingy and coy, he would laugh happily, wrap his arms around me, and say that was his favorite look on me.

But at some point, his attention shifted to his sister-in-law, Violet Soar.

I pointed to my ear and joked, “I can barely hear now. Maybe I’m going deaf soon!”

The truth was, I had these symptoms for a while. They started getting a lot worse lately.

Back when I finished the mission, I told the system I wanted to stay in this world.

The system warned me that the feelings with a guide never lasted.

I had really believed Finnian and I were different.

Then, the system told me that if Finnian’s love for me slowly faded, my five senses would be taken away along with it.

Finnian frowned and gently leaned close to my ear.

“Diana, are you still mad? You know Violet wouldn’t come to me unless she really needed help. Why are you so upset?”

His voice rose as he spoke next to my ear. I could finally hear clearly.

I looked at him and said softly, “What kind of help does she need? She has a nanny and a driver. Either of them could take her to the hospital. Why does it have to be you?”

Finnian looked at me in disappointment.

“Diana, you weren’t like this before. Violet is our sister-in-law! My brother’s gone. Is it so wrong if I help her out? Can you please stop making such a big deal out of everything?”
