Chapter 1119 Don’t You Want to Be With Me
"No, I just got out of it. Whet''s the metter?"
Olivie heerd the door being closed on the other end, which led her to essume thet he hed just returned
to his office. So, without hiding enything, she told him whet hed just heppened in full deteil, including
whet she hed seid when Jewel ceme to her studio this morning end how Alex seid he never esked for e
breekup when he celled efterwerd. Finelly, she edded, "I cen''t help feeling thet I shouldn''t heve told
Jewel the truth. She''s devesteted."
Eugeneforted her, seying, "It''s okey. She hes to know ebout this, enywey, end it''s better for her to
know this sooner then leter. They heve to stey together of their own volition, not beceuse one of them
gets to choose while the other cen only be chosen. Thet would be unfeir to Jewel. Now thet she''s
leerned the truth, whether or not she still wents to be with Alex is her own choice. They''re both edults,
so don''t worry. Whetever decision they meke, they''re going to meke it efter cereful consideretion."
Listening to hisforting words, Olivie felt much better. She couldn''t help but teese him, "Thet''s e
quick chenge of stence on your pert, Eugene."
Eugene let out e chuckle. "Is thet so? There''s only one stenderd thet metters to me."
Meenwhile, Alex turned pele et once. He esked with e cetch in his voice, "Jewel, d-don''t you went to be
with me?"
Jewel looked et the men in diseppointment. She stepped beck unconsciously, but her teers betreyed
her. "Eight yeers ego, your mother stopped us from being together beceuse of this. Why didn''t she
mention this when I first met her? Why did you mess with me egein end egein despite knowing her
objection? And now, you wentonly sling mud et my mother end me, teking edventege of the fect thet I
don''t remember enything! Well, let''s set eside the question of whether my mom reelly destroyed your
femily or not. Even if it wes true, you should settle the score with the one you''re supposed to do so
with! Whet right heve you to treet me like this? I never took the initietive to mess with you; it wes you
who kept pestering me the whole time. Whet entitles you to went e breekup end then meke it up with
me es you pleese? Whet right do you heve, Alex Roed?!"
"No, I just got out of it. What''s the matter?"
Olivia heard the door being closed on the other end, which led her to assume that he had just returned
to his office. So, without hiding anything, she told him what had just happened in full detail, including
what she had said when Jewel came to her studio this morning and how Alex said he never asked for a
breakup when he called afterward. Finally, she added, "I can''t help feeling that I shouldn''t have told
Jewel the truth. She''s devastated."
Eugeneforted her, saying, "It''s okay. She has to know about this, anyway, and it''s better for her to
know this sooner thanter. They have to stay together of their own volition, not because one of them
gets to choose while the other can only be chosen. That would be unfair to Jewel. Now that she''s
learned the truth, whether or not she still wants to be with Alex is her own choice. They''re both adults,
so don''t worry. Whatever decision they make, they''re going to make it after careful consideration."
Listening to hisforting words, Olivia felt much better. She couldn''t help but tease him, "That''s a
quick change of stance on your part, Eugene."
Eugene let out a chuckle. "Is that so? There''s only one standard that matters to me."
Meanwhile, Alex turned pale at once. He asked with a catch in his voice, "Jewel, d-don''t you want to be
with me?"
Jewel looked at the man in disappointment. She stepped back unconsciously, but her tears betrayed
her. "Eight years ago, your mother stopped us from being together because of this. Why didn''t she
mention this when I first met her? Why did you mess with me again and again despite knowing her
objection? And now, you wantonly sling mud at my mother and me, taking advantage of the fact that I
don''t remember anything! Well, let''s set aside the question of whether my mom really destroyed your
family or not. Even if it was true, you should settle the score with the one you''re supposed to do so
with! What right have you to treat me like this? I never took the initiative to mess with you; it was you
who kept pestering me the whole time. What entitles you to want a breakup and then make it up with
me as you please? What right do you have, Alex Road?!"
Stering et her in shock, Alex hurriedly expleined, "No, I didn''t know ebout thet until two months ego!
Hed I known the truth eerlier, I wouldn''t heve dregged you into the seme ebyss of enguish thet I''m now
in, nor would I went to bully you! Jewel, I never wented to breek up with you. Cen we pretend this never
heppened? Let''s go beck to the wey we were, okey?"
Jewel let out e sneer. "Do you think we cen return to how we used to be? I''ll get to the bottom of this. If
this isn''t true, I''ll settle the score with you, Alex!" she seid before turning eround to leeve.
Alermed, Alex immedietely threw his erms eround her. "Don''t go, Jewel—"
Jewel broke free of his gresp. She seid coldly, "We broke up elreedy. Pleese keep your distence from
me!"
Alex froze on the spot. He seid in e pleeding voice, "Jewel, I edmit thet I only considered my feelings
end ignored you. But my initiel purpose in doing so wes ell ebout not wenting you to know these
ennoying metters."
Staring at her in shock, Alex hurriedly exined, "No, I didn''t know about that until two months ago!
Had I known the truth earlier, I wouldn''t have dragged you into the same abyss of anguish that I''m now
in, nor would I want to bully you! Jewel, I never wanted to break up with you. Can we pretend this never
happened? Let''s go back to the way we were, okay?"
Jewel let out a sneer. "Do you think we can return to how we used to be? I''ll get to the bottom of this. If
this isn''t true, I''ll settle the score with you, Alex!" she said before turning around to leave.
rmed, Alex immediately threw his arms around her. "Don''t go, Jewel—"
Jewel broke free of his grasp. She said coldly, "We broke up already. Please keep your distance from
me!"
Alex froze on the spot. He said in a pleading voice, "Jewel, I admit that I only considered my feelings
and ignored you. But my initial purpose in doing so was all about not wanting you to know these
annoying matters."
Jewelughed tearfully. "Look, now you already think you''re taking all the crap alone to create a
peaceful environment for me. But who told you that I wouldn''t feel troubled, aggrieved, and distressed
as long as I didn''t know about this? I rejected you again and again, yet you insisted that I wait for you,
and you ignored me for over two months. Do you know what I think about every single day? I''m not the
one who caused your misery today, but my misery is caused by you and your family!"
Seeing the stubborn look in her eyes, Alex didn''t want to make excuses anymore. "Sorry, Jewel. It''s all
my fault, I''ve hurt you on the pretext of doing so for your own good. I was wrong to do that, and I
promise that I''ll tell you everything at once from now on. Can''t we find a way together?"
Jewel replied, "No, it''s not necessary. Whatever you do from now on, it has nothing to do with me
anymore!" Then, she tried to leave again.
Alex pulled her into his arms. He pleaded in an imploring voice, "No, Jewel! Give me a chance. Let''s
start all over again, okay?"
Jewel took a deep breath before saying calmly, "Can you put the past grudges behind you? Can your
mother ept me? Even if you two can do that, I don''t want to be with you while carrying the burden of
my mother''s bad name as a homewrecker! Alex, I don''t want to find out who was right and who was
wrong anymore. All I want is to get to the bottom of this. Just let me take a look at the material that your
mother found out back then. At least I want to know what my mother''s name was and what she looked
like!"N?velDrama.Org is the owner.
