liza was truly a workaholic, and throughout the entire meal, the conversation revolved around work.

fterward, Josh personally saw the two women off to the car.

he car drove for some distance before he stood still, watching the car disappear into the distance without moving an inch.

elle kept her eyes on the rearview mirror until she could no longer see Josh’s figure. Then, she sighed, “He really is quite infatuated.”

What?” Eliza seemed a bit confused.

lle scoffed, “Don’t tell me you haven’t noticed that Josh has feelings for you?”

iza had always been open with Belle, so she admitted, “I can feel it.”

hen, what do you think about it?” Belle was genuinely curious about her thoughts.

don’t really think about it,” Eliza replied indifferently.

lle was anxious for her, “Are you really only interested in money and work now? Not every man is like Calvin. You can’t just shut yourself off from all men st because one hurt you.”

iza shook her head slightly, “It’s not that extreme. It’s just that, so far, I haven’t met anyone who has sparked any extra thoughts in me.”

e wasn’t some old–fashioned woman, nor did she have any “keep myself pure for one man” ideology.

it after ending a seven–year relationship, she felt tired and just wanted a break.

e wanted to focus on herself–eat, drink, sunbathe, and live like a plant, absorbing the sun without any human emotions.

e wasn’t concerned with blooming or with the leaves falling. All she cared about was growing deeper roots.

e had learned an important lesson from her failed relationship: only herself was truly her companion in both joy and sorrow.

er own umbrella was far more reliable than anyone else’s roof.

iza was, indeed, disappointed with men. “You know how men are,” she added.

le couldn’t argue with that. After all, she hadn’t met any good men either. Most of the men around her were dogs!

inally, she had wanted to persuade Eliza, but in the end, she found herself swayed by Eliza’s words.

xactly, men are very pragmatic. As kids, they love their mothers, when they grow up, they love their fathers. When they get marries they have the wives Then they get old, they love their children And if their wife dies first, they’ll love the nurse who takes care of them Eliza sabl, her tone that Thinking abou

this way, it really doesn’t mean much.”

elle concluded, “So, bring single is the best. You can be with whoever you want, whenever you want

liza couldn’t help but laugh “Your idea is very much in line with my mum

Oh really? What did she say?”

liza smiled faintly. “She said the best thing in a relationship is that everyone he he he, and he loves you, but you only lose yourself

Jelle was deeply impressed. “Your mom’s way of thinking is really advanced

As the car neared their destination, Belle’s phone buzzed with a new message

“Men really are no good, they just ruin your mood,” she muttered.

The message was from someone saved under the name “Dog Lyo,” asking if she was free to meet tomorrow.

Before she could respond with a polite “not available.” Dog Lyo had sent another message.

“Grandma’s coming too.”

Belle was speechless. Not bad, this guy’s a real schemer. He knows exactly how to press people’s buttons.

Back at his apartment, Josh had just returned and saw Gideon sprawled on the couch, playing a game.

When he heard the noise, Gideon briefly glanced up from the screen and said, “You’re finally back? I’ve been waiting for half a day.”

Got something to say?” Josh asked, his tone neutral.

Gideon turned off his phone and seemed eager for an answer. “What was up with what Medea said at lunch? Is it true?”

Gideon was dying of curiosity.

le had tried to piece things together in his head, and after some thinking, he had come to a conclusion.

osh had probably said those things to provoke Medea.

Men were always possessive of their exes.

fter a breakup, they often felt a sense of loss, so they would say things to stir their ex’s emotions.

It’s not true, right? You said that just to provoke Medea,” Gideon said, finally breathing a sigh of relief. “There’s no way you like Eliza.”

Who told you it’s not true?” Josh asked, taking a sip of water. He answered slowly, his tone unexpectedly calm but filled with an undeniable certainty.

ideon’s brain went blank for a moment, and then it was as if his mind was being flooded with a million questions.

le opened his mouth, but for a long time, no sound came out.

So, Medea?”

ideon eventually found his voice again, still thinking of Medea.

She’s been with you for six years! How many people get to have six years in their lives?”

ash’s voice was cold, his face devoid of expression. “Do you believe everything she says?”

But Gideon struggled to argue, but at that moment, his words seemed to fall him.

ɔsh spoke first.

You want to say that she followed me abroad, stayed with me for six years, and loved me deeply, right?TM

osh’s eyes were icy, and his tone was laced with sarcasm “But I was in X, and she was in b. We lonely saw each other once a year. Do you really think that was

or me?”

I didn’t return for six years, but rumors of our relationship were still spreading in Wshington Dont you wonder how those rumers got marr

Why did those rumors only surface again when there were isones with Unite six years later?”

I never clarified because I didn’t think it was necessary, but that doesn’t mean it’s true.”

Gideon stammered, his mind a mess. “You mean those rumors were deliberately spread by someone? You and Medea never really

“That’s

osh gave him a very clear answer, “That’s one way to put it.”

Gideon was completely stunned, his mind spinning.

Everything he thought he knew was wrong.

In one evening, his entire perception had been shattered.

What he thought was true was false, and what he thought was false was true.

So what was the truth?

Gideon’s head felt like it was going to explode.

Just then, Josh patted his shoulder, his tone surprisingly gentle. “I know your brain isn’t working at full capacity, but I’ll still remind you. Don’t trust everyone. Be careful, or you’ll get sold and not even realize it.”

Gideon wanted to defend Medea, but the words got stuck in his throat.

“Also.” Josh continued, “Uncle found a good match for Unite. You should learn from Eliza and stop focusing on these trivial matters. You don’t want to keep lisappointing Uncle, do you?”

Gideon felt a heaviness in his heart.
