Chapter 1118 I’d Hate You if You Didn’t Tell Me
She said, "What else do you want from Jewel? Didn't you ask to break up with her already?
Now that you two have broken up, just behave the way an ex is supposed to and stay out
of her business!"
Needless to say, Alex could feel the emotion in Olivia's words. "No, I didn't ask for a
breakup. She was the one who asked for it."
Olivia was very surprised to hear this. "You didn't? Why would Jewel say it was your idea,
then? Just what on earth is going on between you two?"
Alex didn't have time to explain it either. "I'm at her door right now. Is she with you?
Where are you?"
Olivia pondered for a moment before saying, "We're at my studio." In any case, it's better
to talk face to face.
"Okay, I'll be there in a second," replied Alex before hanging up immediately.
Olivia looked at Jewel suspiciously. "Alex said he didn't want to break up with you. Why
would you say it was his idea? Whose idea was it, actually?"
Jewel looked still absent; she neither cried nor talked.
Olivia sat down across from her. "Jewel, what's wrong with you?" she said before letting
out a sigh. "It's my fault for having a big mouth. I shouldn't have told you this."

Jewel replied in a faint voice without looking at her, "I'd hate you if you didn't tell me."
All of a sudden, Olivia felt a twinge in her nose. She reached out and took Jewel into her
arms. "Sorry, Jewel. Had I not told you this, you wouldn't have been so upset."
She soid, "Whot else do you wont from Jewel? Didn't you osk to breok up with her olreody?

to tolk foce to foce.
"Okoy, I'll be there in o second," replied Alex before honging up immediotely.
Olivio looked ot Jewel suspiciously. "Alex soid he didn't wont to breok up with you. Why
would you soy it wos his ideo? Whose ideo wos it, octuolly?"
Jewel looked still obsent; she neither cried nor tolked.
Olivio sot down ocross from her. "Jewel, whot's wrong with you?" she soid before letting
out o sigh. "It's my foult for hoving o big mouth. I shouldn't hove told you this."
Jewel replied in o foint voice without looking ot her, "I'd hote you if you didn't tell me."
All of o sudden, Olivio felt o twinge in her nose. She reoched out ond took Jewel into her
orms. "Sorry, Jewel. Hod I not told you this, you wouldn't hove been so upset."
Jewel said, "Do you want to watch me spend my whole life pleading for his charity?"
Olivia didn't understand what she meant. "What charity?"
Jewel explained, "If you didn't tell me, I'd keep waiting for him stupidly until one day when
he came around and accepted me. In the days to come, I couldn't make any mistake, nor
could I get angry or start an argument, or it would all be my fault; even you guys would
think so, too. After all, he had graciously accepted me regardless of the past. Eventually,
our life would turn sour, and our feelings for each other would be worn off bit by bit."
Olivia replied, "No, that wouldn't happen. I'll be on your side until the end of time!"
Jewel said rather mournfully, "Just because you wouldn't doesn't mean that others
wouldn't, too. Don't ever test human nature, for it's human nature to be selfish. He may
sound righteous, but subconsciously, he'd think he was the benefactor, while I was the
one who lived off his charity and thus deserved to bear a little more. I think that's what
he's afraid of."
Olivia didn't make a sound. As it turned out, Jewel could relate to Alex's dilemma and
hesitation.
Jewel turned to look at her. "Actually, I have to thank you for telling me the truth, or I
would've still been kept in the dark like an idiot. I've been on pins and needles these days,
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmthinking that Alex, that playboy, might've already had a new lover. Otherwise, why would
he treat me like a stranger? Now, I can at least feel comforted. Isn't this better than us
turning from lovers to enemies in the future?"
Seeing how the woman continued to smile impeccably despite her bleeding heart, Olivia
really had no idea how to comfort her. Revealing such a truth would only heal one wound
and open another. She held Jewel in her arms, hoping to give her some strength in this
manner.
Just then, the door was pushed open with a loud bang, followed by Alex's anxious voice.
"Jewel!"
Olivia glanced at Alex, who seemed to have not gotten a wink of sleep last night. She
apologetically said, "Jewel said you asked for a breakup. She asked me for the reason just
now, so I told her the truth. She knows everything now, so whatever you have to say, you
can talk about it openly and honestly. I'm gonna leave you two on your own." With that,
she went out of the room and even thoughtfully closed the door for them.
After leaving the room, she sat in a chair and sighed repeatedly. For some reason, she felt
unsettled. Seems like I've done something I shouldn't. Slapping herself in the mouth, she
cursed herself inwardly, Screw your big mouth! Then, she texted Eugene on the phone, 'I
seem to have done something wrong.'
She didn't expect the man to respond, but to her surprise, he called her right away.
Astonished, she swiped to answer the phone. "Aren't you in a meeting?"
