Chapter 148


    Chapter 148: As Long as Your Rtionship is Good, Don’t Bother About Me


    Simon continued to silently follow behind the two of them, thinking, “As long as your rtionship is


    good, don’t bother about me.”


    Fortunately, they hadn’t walked far when Simon noticed several delivery personnel stationed along the


    road. It meant that as long as the money was paid, they could help deliver items to specified locations,


    making it easier for tourists visiting this ce.


    Simon thought that they still had a long way to go, and it wasn’t convenient to carry everything, so he


    picked out some necessary items and had the rest sent away by the delivery service. Of course, he did


    this with the agreement of Martina and Benjamin; otherwise, he wouldn’t have dared to take such


    action.


    After walking for a while, Martina was concerned that Benjamin’s body might not hold up well, so she


    suggested taking a seat nearby.


    Benjamin believed there was no need to hurry, so he agreed. They still had a bit of a walk to reach the


    edge of the cliff, which would probably take another ten minutes or so.


    Taking a short rest sounded like a good idea.


    The two of them found a bench nearby and sat down, while Simon silently cleaned the bench in


    advance for them.


    Recently, due to the increased interaction with Benjamin, Martina gradually discovered Simon’s


    remarkable abilities which made her respect him. Sometimes, she even wondered if she could be as


    good as Simon if she became an assistant herself.


    Simon sensed a probing gaze and a cold gaze directed at him, and instantly assumed a ready–to–


    follow–orders expression. The two gazes were from Martina and Benjamin, of course.


    Benjamin’s possessiveness towards Martina was very strong now, so when he noticed Martina showing


    interest in observing Simon, he couldn’t help but feel displeased.


    Simon immediately figured out the situation and anxiously looked at Martina, asking, “Miss Martinez, do


    you need any help? Why are you looking at me like that?”


    He didn’t dare to say it directly, “Miss Martinez, please, you mustn’t keep looking at me like that. If you


    do, I’m afraid I won’t be able to keep my life.”


    Of course, Martina had no idea what was going on in Simon’s mind.


    “It’s nothing. I just feel that you’re doing a great job as an assistant,” she simply answered. “The way


    you and Benjamin understand each other without even exchanging a single nce is really


    remarkable. You helped a lot. No wonder Benjamin decided to keep you by his side.”


    These words came straight from Martina’s heart. She genuinely appreciated how hard it was to be such


    an assistant. It was not a job that anyone could do.


    Simon blushed a little; he probably didn’t expect Martina to suddenly praise him like this, making him


    feel a bit ufortable.


    Through their time together, Simon realized that Martina wasn’t as terrible as he had initially imagined.


    In fact, she was a very well–mannered, polite, and intelligent woman, wasn’t she? Perhaps his previous


    misconceptions were due to some preconceived notions.


    Simon politely said, “Thank you. This is just what I should do. The boss pays me a good sry every


    month, so it’s only right and proper that I do my best in this position.”


    Martina sighed, “Maybe you are right, but…well, forget it. I don’t think you’ll understand even if I


    exin.”


    The three of them rested here for a while, feeling that their energy had recovered enough, and they


    replenished their water before preparing to continue their journey.


    One minute before they set off, Martina specially touched the wound on Benjamin’s back. “How are you


    feeling? Any pain? If you can’t walk anymore, just tell me. We don’t have toe here at this moment.


    We can alwayse back in the future.”


    Benjamin’s calm face showed a hint of surprise. His gaze fell on Martina. Unlike the usual indifference


    and dismissiveness he had towards others, his eyes were filled withplex emotions that were hard


    to understand,


    “Future?” he repeated the word, seemingly pondering something.


    Martina was puzzled, “Yes. Is there a problem?”


    Benjamin seemed to think of something but eventually shook his head, “No. And I’m feeling fine.”


    In reality, Benjamin had a lot on his mind. Since Martina could openly talk about the future and staying


    together, did that mean that the current Martina didn’t want to leave anymore?


    Their pace was not slow, and they soon arrived at the edge of the cliff. Although it was a real cliff, there


    were some safety measures in ce, such as iron chains and stone pirs, all designed to protect


    pedestrians.


    Almost all the people who came to this ce were couples, one man and one woman. Of course, there


    could be situations like the one that Simon saw earlier, but those cases were rtively rare.


    When Martina and the others arrived here, they didn’t rush to lock their matching locks. Benjamin took


    the locks from Martina’s hand and wrote something on them.


    At this critical moment, Martina unintentionally looked towards the edge of the cliff and noticed


    something very unexpected. The couple who should have been very sweet didn’t hang the locks on the


    chains like others did.


    Instead, they took out a series of lock–picking tools and removed one pair of the many locks hanging


    on the chains at the cliff’s edge.


    This belongs ? N?velDra/ma.Org.


    There were tens of thousands, if not more, pairs of locks on this cliff. It would be really challenging to


    find their own locks among so many.


    Martina clearly saw the girl sobbing uncontrobly but trying hard not to cry out loud.


    Her shoulders were shaking from the sobs.


    The young man looked at the girl’s back with apparent helplessness and sadness.


    It was unclear what had happened between the two, but they looked well–matched in appearance and


    temperament. However, fate seemed to y a cruel trick on them.


    After about a few tens of seconds, the man finally spoke, “Let’s stop here.” “From now on, you do your


    thing, and I’ll do mine. We’ll follow different paths.” “After this, we’ll marry other people, and we won’t


    have any more connections. The matching locks on this cliff were ourst obstacle, but I’ve unlocked


    them.”


    “Honey, I’ll call you this way onest time. I hope you will be happy and find evesting happiness after


    leaving me. Goodbye.”


    Under Martina’s watchful gaze, the man actually turned and walked away.


    At this moment, the girl suddenly turned around, seemingly wanting to call out to stop the young man’s


    departure. However, when she saw his resolute steps, her words got stuck in her throat.


    sping her hands tightly around her arms, she crouched down on the ground, sobbing loudly, “I didn’t


    want this… I’m sorry… We were not meant to be… I’m sorry…”
