Editor: Henyee Translations
"Anita, say something. We’ve been together for so many years. Can you bear to see this happen?" Eric saw that the man standing in front of him had no reaction, so he turned to look at Anita.
"Owen, let’s go back first," Anita said while glancing at Eric, but didn’t respond to his words. She just walked toward Owen.
"Yes... Yes, Mr. Owen, it’s too late. You guys should hurry back." Eric thought that she was helping him out of the predicament and said with a smile.
"Eric, I’ll only say this once. Don’t let me see you again." Owen glanced at Anita and said nothing more. After turning around, he looked at Eric again.
"Yes, Mr. Owen," Eric agreed quickly. It was only after Owen and Anita were out of sight on the tree-lined path that he looked up, spat, and snorted.
"I didn’t expect Anita to really meet a rich person who actually made me feel so embarrassed. Don’t let me see you again," Eric scolded.
The two people walking away didn’t know what Eric was talking about, and Owen didn’t care. His heart was filled with Anita’s red-rimmed eyes he’d seen in his room that night. At that time, he thought Anita had acted that way because she’d fought with him, but when he’d just seen Eric, he’d understood.
Anita must have bumped into Eric this afternoon. And Eric must have said something awful. That was why Anita was so sad.
Unfortunately, he didn’t even know anything, so his heart ached even more.
"Owen, what’s wrong?" Anita saw that Owen hadn’t said anything and thought he was angry, so she said carefully.
"It’s okay. I’m thinking about something," Owen said to Anita when he came back to his senses.
"Are you angry, Owen? Don’t take what Eric just said to heart," Anita said again.
"I didn’t take it to heart." Owen looked at Anita, then paused before continuing. "Anita, you met Eric this afternoon, right? Why didn’t you tell me?"
Anita didn’t expect Owen to ask suddenly and was stunned. "I... I don’t know what to tell you."
Owen stopped walking. "Anita, listen to me. I admit that I was wrong to teach Joan how to play golf this afternoon and neglected you, but I won’t do this again. You can supervise me."
"Owen, you apologized. I understand," Anita replied when she saw how serious Owen was.
"No, Anita, let me finish. I said this because I wanted to tell you too. When we run into any problems, I hope we can tell each other." free𝑤ebnovel.com
"It’s like when you bumped into Eric this afternoon. He must have said something that made you sad, but you didn’t tell me anything," Owen said as he reached out and took Anita’s arms and looked into her eyes.
This part was said too seriously. Anita was stunned, and she didn’t know how to respond to Owen’s sincerity.
"Owen, I... I..." Anita’s tears started to fall, and she faltered. "Okay, crybaby, it’s all in the past," Owen said as he looked at Anita and reached out to pull her into his arms.
Anita lay in Owen’s arms and said nothing more, but she cried a little harder.
"Anita, are you sure you want to cry again? Your eyes might be so swollen that you won’t be able to see me tomorrow," Owen said helplessly while patting Anita’s back.
Anita felt bad about crying after hearing Owen’s words, so she tried to calm down and came out of Owen’s arms.
"Okay, you’re finally not crying anymore." Owen saw that Anita was no longer crying, so he took out the handkerchief he always had in his pocket and wiped Anita’s cheeks.
When Anita felt Owen’s gentle touch, she said nothing. She just kept staring at Owen’s shirt.

"What’s wrong? You’re looking at my clothes? The tears and snot on them are from you," Owen said with a smile as he looked at Anita.
It would have been better if he hadn’t said that. Once he said that, Anita became completely embarrassed. Even her face started to blush. "When we get back, I’ll buy you another shirt," Anita stammered.
"Really? Since you said so, you have to buy it for me," Owen said with a smile.
Anita nodded, and Owen took her hand as they walked towards the hotel after he wiped the tears from Anita’s face.
The two of them had all sorts of ups and downs today. They had experienced joy, sadness, and joy again in a single day. Now, they finally said everything on their minds and there was no longer any estrangement.
