"Who? Allen! Wait! I'm coming out. It's not what you think—""Allen! Have you lost your mind? You're going to kill him!"In the video, Carina was otherwise naked, save for the towel wrapped around her, as she stood defensively in front of Jonah.The intimate, scandalous scene left the other Simpsons speechless."Compared to your stack of crappy photos, doesn't this evidence of my wife's affair seem a lot more convincing?" Allen smirked at the grim-faced David and Molly. "Your wonderful daughter and your beloved godson were caught in such an intimate situation. Don't you think I'm owed an explanation?""H-How could it be Jon? Are you sure it isn't some kind of misunderstanding?" David suggested doubtfully."That's right! We know Jon perfectly well. There's no way he'd do such a thing! How dare you try to frame him, you violent animal?" Molly, with her forehead now bandaged, screamed at Allen once more, forgetting all about how terrified she'd been when he attacked her earlier.

"How is it not like that? That's probably what you all think, isn't it?" Allen snorted bitterly at his own dumb naivete. "In all of your eyes, my love is nothing but the shackles I put on myself.""That's not true, honey." Carina's heart ached to see Allen react this way. "Mom only said those things in the heat of the moment. It was just said out of anger…""Calling me an orphan is just a mistake made out of anger, huh? Telling me that I should get the hell out if I cheat on you, but I should just live with it if you cheat on me? Is that also just a passing remark in the heat of the moment?" Allen questioned."Isn't it just the truth, Carina? Isn't it an accurate reflection of the attitude you Simpsons have toward me? It's been eight years, Carina. It's not eight days or months. It's eight years. That's nearly all of my young adulthood. I've spent almost half of my life with you."Eight years ago, I took on the responsibility of paying off the millions in debt your family owed. I h

Once again, Carina cut off the call from Jonah, which came at the worst possible moment."I—" She tried to speak, only to get interrupted."Our love—""Was just—""An accident—"No matter how many times Carina rejected them, Jonah didn't stop bombarding her phone with calls.Expression dark, she accepted the next incoming call and said, "Get lost!"After cursing at Jonah, she immediately blocked his number. Then, she timidly lifted her head to look at Allen. His expression was terrifying—darker than it had been yesterday at the hotel."See that, Allen? I've already blocked Jonah, so can we talk properly now?""What's there for us to talk about?" Allen asked.Feeling frustrated, he pulled out a cigarette and began smoking right there on the couch. The pungent smoke sent Carina into a coughing fit. He knew she had sinus issues and couldn't stand cigarette smoke. He did this on purpose."In the past 12 years, Carina, have I ever wronged you in any way?""No…" Carina sputtered

The current Allen was completely done with the Simpson family. The obsession that had taken root in his heart for 12 years had finally dissipated. Not a trace of it remained.The new him no longer felt any lingering attachment to the Simpsons, who'd been completely intertwined in his life for 12 years now.He could finally leave this house without any regrets and start his new life."No! I'm not leaving! I'll stay here with you. I'm not going anywhere!" Carina declared.Allen's cold, impassive expression made Carina's heart sink in despair. After a moment of hesitation, she decided to sit across from him, steady herself, and answer the call."Hey, Taylor. I'm taking the day off. All my meetings will be conducted online. Also, tell Jonah to take Allen's things back to Allen's office and put them back properly. Then, he needs to go back to where he belongs. Tell him I said that."When dealing with company matters, Carina snapped into her usual decisive, no-nonsense mode, meting out

"My parents have always been worried about whether I'd get married," Allen said. "Since I've been back in the country, they've been asking me every day when I'm going to find a girlfriend."But you know me. I'm obsessed with work and really have no interest in that stuff. But I don't want my parents to keep worrying, so…""Oh, I get it." Carina nodded and confidently tapped her chest. "Don't worry. Since you treat me like an older sister, of course I'll help you with your love life!""Really? In that case, can you be my—""We have plenty of single, beautiful young women at our company, and they have great personalities, too. Any of them would be perfect for you," Carina declared."Once you're better, come to my office. I'll show you the company roster, and you pick whoever you like. I'll give you their number.""No, Carrie, you've misunderstood me!" Jonah gritted his teeth, looking rather angry."Huh? Then what did you mean?" Carina was taken aback."What I meant is, I don't wa
