"You two never really had a normal relationship from the start."
"So, Merritt, I'm speaking to you like a brother when I say this."
"Don't waste your ton Chris anymore. Spend these precious moments with your grandmother, focus on
building your career, and eventually, you'll find your own happiness."
Merritt tried to muster a smile, but it was tinged with bitterness.
"Jane, I've taken your words to heart. You'd better go now; my brother-in-law's glare could cutinto pieces."
Jane added one last thought, "You used her, she used you—you're even now. Neither of you owes the other
anything."
"| left smoney under the pillow in the side room. Please thank Helena for the meal she cooked for us. Even
though it was just one night, we were still an inconvenience."
"Merritt, live well."
Even as an overwhelming sense of bitterness and pain spread through Merritt, he smiled, showing his teeth.
"You too, Jane. And Chrissy, | wish you both happiness, peace, and health."

Christine had given it to him.
Suddenly, he clenched his fist around it but then relaxed with a resigned smile.

The car wasn't far, just down the steps.
The heater was already running inside.
Christine only felt the cold for a moment.
It was Dailey who told her toet but she refused, stepping out

Truthfully, her emotions were a tangled mess.
Before the plane took off, she received a message from Jane.
Jane had convinced Merritt to let her go.
Merritt had also sent her a final farewell message.
She didn't reply.
It felt pointless to say anything.
This time, Primo was driving Dailey.
No particular reason-just lost at rock-paper-scissors.
The car's heater was on, but the atmosphere in the back seat was anything but

Dailey hadn't expected his father to send his most trusted and discreet aide to
fetch him.
"I'm not hungry."
"If you don't move, I'll plow right through."
The man chuckled, "Sir, your father also insists that the young lady join you for dinner."
Dailey's voice turned icy, "That's not going to happen. Move."
The man maintained his polite smile,
