“It’s all my fault. Punish me. Do with me whatever you want, but don’t be angry with me anymore, okay?”
Alex maintains his patience. He keeps looking at Miya affectionately.
Lisa is also taken by surprise. The condescending Alex is pleading with Miya.
Miya has already been convinced by such touching words, now on her way to go back with him.
“Then let me ask you one more question. Is Susan living in the villa now?”
It is said that love doesn’t allows for a third person. Miya believes it, too. She has suffered too much in this relationship.
Alex chooses to remain silent.
It saddens Miya even more.
“I want you to answer my question. Is it so hard?” Miya holds back her anger and tries to talk with him calmly.
Alex nods.
Miya is taking deep breaths in desperation as if devouring air. She doesn’t know how long it takes for her to calm down. “I won’t go back with you, unless you promise me one thing,” she says.
“I can promise you ten thousand.” Alex immediately becomes a little excited as if he sees hopes.
“Listen, I only need you to kick Susan out,” Miya says directly, and then glares at Alex.
At this moment, Alex is caught in a dilemma. He really wants to bring Miya home because he can’t bear to let her suffer more. However, he doesn’t want to harm Susan, either, because she has already been in pain.
“Miya, listen to me. Susan and I are no longer together. You know that clearly…” Alex hopes that she can understand him.
“Look, you called her so sweetly. Are you sure you guys are over?” Miya’s jealousy is impossible to hide.
Alex is a bit frightened and immediately changes his tone, “Susan and I have no story. You know, I just want to be with you. Only when I’m with you can I be happy …”
Miya loses her patience and interrupts him.
“You have already made your choice. You chose Susan, not me. I told you yesterday.” Miya turns around painfully and bites her lips so she won’t cry loud.
Alex sees her trembling slightly.
“Miya, I know you’re angry. But Susan is homeless now. And she has helped me so much. That’s why I …”
“That’s why you have to marry her. What you will do has nothing to do with me. Right now, I only want you to leave quickly and disappear in front of me. I don’t want to see you!” Miya presses her hand against her chest and shouts out.
Lisa immediately steps forward and gently strokes Miya’s back.
“Miya, let’s go.” She can’t bear to watch anymore.
Miya grabs Lisa at the hand to walk out.
