Super Wife’s Three Babies novel Chapter 1121

Chapter 1121 Never the Chosen One

Unexpectedly, one of Olivia’s close friends joined the auction as well, and she ruthlessly yelled a number that sent Olivia into the depths of despair, “15 million!”

Olivia pouted. “That’s not what you said last night!”

Eugene replied, “That’s because my wife didn’t say so last night. To me, everything my wife says is right!”

Eventually, she laughed and chided flirtatiously, “Stop it.”

He mirrored her smile as he said, “All right, don’t worry too much about it. What do you want to eat tonight? I’ll buy the ingredients.”

Meanwhile, in the office, Alex looked at Jewel silently, not knowing what to say nor where to begin.

He had spent the previous night wide awake. Logically, he should be elated that he was finally able to put an end to the issue that he had always been conflicted over, but for reasons he wasn’t sure of, he just couldn’t bring himself to feel any joy. It was as if a hole had been punctured in his chest.

He asked himself over and over if their relationship was just going to end like this. Why didn’t he feel like a burden had been lifted off his shoulders, but rather as if he had lost something? He was the source of her misfortune, and his and his mother’s woes were caused by her mother and his father, so what did it have to do with her? Why did he blame someone who was completely uninvolved in the matter?

It would be different if he were happy, but he knew very well that he was far from being happy—in fact, he felt as if he was about to be ripped apart from the pain. Why were they tormenting each other like this?

“Yes, that’s fine.”

“It may be fine to you, but what about your mother?”

“I’ll convince her.”

Jewel chortled. “Do you think it’s possible? You’ve already predicted what would happen in the future once you’ve accepted me. If you were able to overcome that, you wouldn’t have hesitated for two months.”

Alex clutched her hand, his voice carrying a trace of sorrow as he said, “I’ve also seen what my days would look like if I lost you. Jewel, if I had to give up something, I’ll choose to give up my grudges and spend the rest of my life with you.”

However, Jewel broke free from his touch, her eyes turning red. “You’re always the one making a choice, but you’ve never asked me how I felt. What do you think I am? A tool that you can use at will? Do you think I don’t have feelings or opinions, and that I can’t feel any pain?”
