He’s her source of strength, as if as long as he is with her, everything to her becomes easy.
As expected, tonight is peaceful, there’s no so-called God of the Mountain.
The only upsetting thing is a man’s visit. He comes to the outside of their tent and says, “Miya, can I talk to you alone?”
In the meanwhile, Miya is staying with Alex, she’s not surprised by Lance’s visit.
Alex stops Miya, he doesn’t allow her to go out with Lance alone.
But Miya says, “Take it easy. They won’t do anything to me.”
“I’ll be worried.”
“That will be fine. Please give us half an hour.”
Alex can’t persuade her, he agrees with Miya, “I’ll give you half an hour. If you haven’t come back, I will go to find you.” After saying this, he comes back to their tent.
Miya nods her head, then walks to Lance, asking him, “What do you want to say?”
When Lance sees the interaction between Miya and Alex, he’s jealous but thinks can’t make himself seems weak.
“Miya, won’t I have the last chance?”
Lance doesn’t want to give up. A woman he’s been craving for years has become someone else’ wife.
Miya nods her head, “Lance, we’ve grown up. We can be act like we were eighteen. You and me have our own marriage. Is it ridiculous for you to say that?”
“Didn’t you feel heart broken when I got married? I don’t believe you.” Lance says with confidence.
“What could I do about it? It was past.” Miya indeed feels unacceptable when she thinks back, but those things were long time ago.
“It proves that you have me inside your heart.” Lance holds Miya’s shoulders, letting her seeing his eyes.
Miya subtly backs off, “It was the thing at that time. How many times should I repeat so that you’ll believe it was seven years ago when I was eighteen.”
“But I... haven’t changed.” The pain inside Lance due to the rejection from Miya.
“Lance, you’re married.” Miya has to remind Lance.
“Were your heart broken because of my marriage? But I can explain.” Lance thinks for a while, then tells her the words that he intended to tell her long time ago, “I was hypnotized. That woman found a hypnotist and mesmerized my mind. I totally forgot you, so I married her.”
Lance told her he had difficulties before, it must be the source of the difficulties. Although this thing is true, she doesn’t care about it.
Miya shakes her head, “Lance, it’s not this reason. It’s just I’ve changed my mind. I can put no one in my heart except Lance.”
Lance’s face turns pale suddenly, “Miya, why are you so cruel? Won’t you concern about my feeling?”
She avoided these topics and changed to others before, it made him had the wrong feeling that Miya was still in love with him.
“But did you show consideration for my feelings?” Miya almost talks to him with a kind of mocking voice, but she puts up with him and calms herself down.
“What?” Lance doesn’t understand, “When I didn’t show consideration for you?” he thinks he has already given all his love to her with heart and soul.
