Her reasons sounded logical, calm, and detached.

"Is it not to avoid me?" Casper's voice suddenly deepened, as if he was holding back semotion.

Eliza wasn't one to lie, but sometimes being too blunt didn't help. really." "Not "In a few days, I'll be heading to Oak Falls for business. Is there anything you'd liketo bring back? Something you need or haven't had a chance to buy?" He wanted to give her a gift, but worried she might refuse. "Or maybe something you've been meaning to get but just haven't yet?" Eliza never liked asking for things.

Especially not from Casper.

"I don't need anything. If you're coming for work, try not to find me. It's better we keep our distance to avoid any misunderstandings with your significant other." She really feared Susan might tag along with Casper to Oak Falls and cause a scene.

Her life revolved around Oak Falls; she dreaded the rumors, the unnecessary misunderstandings. She had her pride.

Silence followed.

It seemed like he was trying to figure out how to explain the engagement.

"Do you... understand a relationship of mutual benefit, where each party uses the other to their advantage?" Eliza: ...??? What did he mean? "I don't get it." "What I mean is, my engagement to Susan is just a business move. The Torres family gets what they want, and I get what I want. As for... her liking me, that's her business, her freedom. I don't like her, and the engagement will be called off sooner or later." Eliza didn't understand what a business move was.

She couldn't even grasp why marriage had to mix with interests.

Mutual use? It sounded both terrifying and ridiculous.

"Casper, I really don't understand your lifestyle, and I don't want to. Just live peacefully with Susan. She likes you, so love her back and stop coming to me. We've signed the divorce agreement. Once I'm through this busy period, let's finalize our divorce." The line went silent again.

Eliza: "If there's nothing else, I'm going to hang up." Without waiting for his response, she ended the call.

For several days, Eliza busied herself between school and home.

When the weekend arrived, Juan visited her.

Having finished his work back home, he was about to return to France.

He cover today especially to say goodbye.

"So when will you be back?" Eliza asked him.

"I have to report back, so it's hard to say when I'll return." His main work was overseas, and it would be a long while before he could visit al.ne Falconridge again. "If you miss me, you can cto France. I'll cover all your expenses." Eliza shook her head with a smile.

She had lost interest in it.

"Since leaving the Henderson family, I've never been back to France, not even to Southeast Asia." Juan knew she had had a tough few years.

He wanted to encourage her to open up, but he knew advice could sometimes beca burden.

"I'm not saying you must accept Casper. If you meet another good ΠΙ man, you don't have to close yourself off, Being brave enough to live alone with a child means you have the courage to face a new life." He always hoped she would find someone to be with.

But Eliza had long given up on that idea. "Living alone with a child is actually quite happy. It's not as lonely as you might think. On then et contrary, without all the trivial e matters, it's fulfilling and joyful." QUMS Juan smiled. He respected and supported all her decisions.

"By the way, you're now an internationally renowned artist, How about givingalpainting to keep? Someday, it might sell for a big price, Ms. MOMO." Eliza laughed, "In this world, you're the best at making fun of me." "Far from it, far from it. In front of Ms. MOMO, how dare I?"

They shared a laugh, a moment that seemed to transport them back to the happiest days of their childhood...
