"Don't cry."
The man gently held Olivia's hand as he pulled it away from his lips.His voice was as warm and as calm as ever.
"I'm back, aren't I?"
Olivia immediately opened her arms and hugged him from behind, sobbing.
‘yes! He's back! He's finally back!" After months of worrying, he had finally returned to her side.
She should be delighted, but her heart felt heavy.She was so distraught that all she could do was hug him and cry.
Edward turned around slowly and brushed his palm across her cheeks, touching her eyebrow and then lips.
"Have you not met Alexander?"
"l don't know where he is."

Olivia shook her head, bursting into tears again.
"You said he has returned, but | haven't heard any news about it.
The Russell family seems to know nothing.
"Recently, there has been sturmoil within La Beaute Group, saying that something had happened to him abroad.However, the
higher-ups seemed to be suppressing the news, so everything is kept at bay now."
"What about Lily?"He asked again.
"Lily...] don't know what she's been up to these days.She doesn't answer her phone, and the last t| asked her..."
"What did you ask her?"
Edward's grip on Olivia's chin tightened as he lifted her face slightly.He was looking at her somewhat angrily.
"Didn't | tell you not to say anything?!"
"lI didn't..."
Olivia was astounded. She had rarely seen him so irritated before and began to panic.
"I just asked if, one day, | stood on the opposite side of Mr.Russell, whose side would she be on?"
"Idiot!"
He dropped his hand and stood up, wrapping a towel around his waist.
Then he asked agitatedly, "How did she answer you?"
"S-She said there won't be such a day.She said that Mr.Russell and | are equally important to her,"
Olivia answered in a low voice.She felt this question was stupid and redundant, but she could not help but want to ask.
Maybe it was a question she needed to answer herself.
If a day cwhen she would have to choose between her lover or her long-tfriend, who would she choose? When she turned
to look at Edward, he had already lit a cigarette.

‘He never smoked.” Edward seemed to be a different person after returning.He was smoking, grumpy, and capricious.
However, there were times when he would still be the gentle guy Olivia once knew.She would have thought it was an impostor if it
were not because of how familiar she was with Edward.
Smoke began to form around his face as he took two deep puffs.
After exhaling another ring of smoke, he asked, "So, you didn't get any useful information out of her?"
"What useful information?"
"Where is their son?" He asked again, looking up at her.
Olivia's heart suddenly skipped a beat, and she subconsciously questioned, "Why are you looking for their son?"
"I'm just wondering! Alexander had been off the radar for so long.We don't even know if he's dead or alive.As for Lily, she seems to
have disappeared as well.Are you not curious about where their son is or how Margaret is?"
Edward blurted before stuffing the cigarette back into his mouth.
