Earle stared at Eliana in astonishment. He couldn’t believe what he had heard.

“You are going to leave Maurice? On your own accord?”

Eliana nodded and then looked at Earle straight in the eye. “Yes, I’m going to leave Maurice on my own accord.”

“But why?” Earle asked with an eyebrow raised.

“Isn’t it obvious? Maurice will lose everything because of me. It’s just not worth it. I won’t be able to forgive myself when that happens.” She let out a sigh. “When I leave, you’ll stop punishing Maurice, won’t you?”

Eliana looked at the old man, straight-faced. She knew how much Maurice mean to Earle. The reason why he did this now was that he wanted Maurice to shrink back from difficulties and give up on her.

But with her leaving, Earle would get his way and Maurice would not be punished again

Earle didn’t expect the matter to be settled smoothly. “There must be something that you want from me in exchange for what you’ll do?” he asked. “So tell me, what are your conditions for leaving Maurice?”

“Nothing.”

Eliana’s voice was firm. Her eyes were bright with conviction.

An experienced man like Earle suddenly felt that he couldn’t understand this woman’s character or thinking.

He had a slight idea why Eliana asked him out today but he had thought it would take some time for Eliana to come around and do it.
