Listening to Michelle's words, everyone is relieved.
Anyway, Lance is already an adult, and he shouldn't have to be worried about by others too much.
"Honey, what does Lance talk to you?"
As soon as they are at the dinner table, Alex asks.
"I don't want to talk to you now, so don't provoke me, otherwise... I'm afraid I can't control my temper." Miya says with a smile, but her eyes ask Alex to shut up, so Alex just swallows without saying anything.
During the banquet, Miya keeps delighting her daughter and ignores Alex.
Alex feels aggrieved, but he smiles unconsciously when he looks at Miya's sincere smile to Lydia.
Why should he be jealous? In a few years' time, she will definitely be send to a kindergarten... followed by elementary school, junior high school...so that she can no longer be together with Miya.
Miya has just intended to simplify this one-month-old feast, so the banquet is ended after the meal and chit chat.
"Miya, this sachet is for you. It does good to sleep."
At the end, Michelle helps clean up the tableware and sees that Miya seems to think of something, so she gives the sachet to Miya.
The sachet's workmanship is indeed very delicate, so Miya accepts it, "Thank you."
"You're welcome, remember to put it in the pillow. Then you can sleep well."
"OK, thanks."
At night, Miya stretches herself in the bedroom. She is a little tired. When she is about to lie down, she listens to Alex whispering in her ear again.
"Miya, what does Lance tell you?"
"Don’t you bother, Alex? I'm tired now. I'm going to sleep." Miya's voice is a little weak, telling others that she is really tired.
Afterwards, Miya falls asleep, breathing evenly.
Alex looks at how tired Miya is, and he can't bear to bother her. He says "Good night" and lies beside Miya, holding her to sleep.
Miya sleeps well at first, but finally...
"You don't belong here, you should leave quickly."
It is an vacant voice, and she is in an open place.
"Why?" Miya asks.
"You shouldn't be by Alex's side. He doesn't match your character, so you won’t be happy in the future."
"What?"
"Think about everything you suffer after you two are together. His gives up his first love, but he loves her for so many years and he finally abandons her, do you think you are still far from being abandoned?"
"Your words are too far-fetched."
"Okay, even if the words are far-fetched, then do you think Alex is happy with you?"
"Why not happy?"
