"Are you sure you’re protecting me and not just keeping an eye on me?" She bit her lip, asking with dissatisfaction.

He seemed to be afraid she would run away...

Facing Summer Shawcross’s dissatisfied question, Yancy Shaw admitted with honesty.

"Of course, that’s also a very important reason."

"..." Summer looked at him speechlessly, suddenly feeling regret in her heart. Initially, she was blind to seek help from this troublesome person.

In that moment, she suddenly wondered if Yancy Shaw was really crazy, willing to wait decades for just ten minutes...

This kind of obsessive thinking seemed too crazy.

As she stayed silent, Yancy Shaw’s voice continued.

"Of course, you can ask for any reward, I can satisfy you!"

She shook her head...

Although she didn’t know what he had done to Sherry back then to make her hate him so much now, looking at Yancy Shaw at this moment, Summer couldn’t help but think of her former self...

Also blinded by various misunderstandings, she missed the man who loved her deeply, only to start regretting at the moment of death...

Because of this, she felt a special sympathy for Yancy Shaw.

Thinking about it, she couldn’t help but kindly advise him.

"Mr. Shaw, I suggest you give up such thoughts, it’s better to return to the real world. You’re still so young, I’m sure you’ll find a woman even better than your wife!"

In her view, Sherry probably wouldn’t forgive him again, so even if he waited decades, there wouldn’t be any outcome.

After she finished, Yancy Shaw’s face turned a shade paler.

"Miss Irving, you needn’t trouble yourself with my personal matters," he suddenly said sternly.

Hearing this, Summer Shawcross shrugged her shoulders.

"Fine, let’s just say I spoke out of turn. It’s getting late, so I’ll leave now." After saying that, she glanced at Katherine Irving beside her and walked towards the door.

Just as she reached the door, Yancy Shaw’s voice sounded again.

"She has long been a part of my life, Miss Irving, can you understand that feeling?"

Summer stopped in her tracks, her expression paused for a moment. She didn’t say anything more, instead, she opened the door and left with Katherine Irving.

...

Shortly after leaving the hotel building, Katherine Irving caught up out of curiosity and asked Summer Shawcross.

"What did he mean by that last question he asked you?"

Something about life or not life, she seemed to understand his words, but also didn’t quite get it.

Summer shook her head without speaking.

For some reason, Yancy Shaw’s words just now particularly moved her...

Precisely because the other person is a part of his life, without her, he can’t go on living.

With such a life incomplete, how could he return to reality and love someone else?

...

When Summer Shawcross returned to the villa, it was already close to midnight.

As she returned, Sherry, still wearing that white dress, was sitting on the sofa in the first-floor living room.

The LCD TV was on, playing late-night dramas.

But her gaze wasn’t on the TV, it was unfocused.

Hearing the door open, Sherry turned her head to look at the incoming Summer Shawcross.

"Was it resolved?" She asked with a bit of concern on her face.

Being asked this, Summer’s expression changed, showing a hint of guilt.
