The words "for now" still echoed in his mind. That meant Olivia still had not given up.
Alex understood his own feelings. He had moved on after she rejected him, but that did not mean he no longer cared.
To him, Olivia was still both friend and family.
Seeing the pain in her eyes made his chest tighten. He hated that feeling.
He wanted to help her, to make her feel better, but he did not know what he could do. Right now, his hands were tied.
He let out a heavy sigh.
"I will just act like I never heard it, as she wished, for now," he murmured.
His relationship with MingYue had improved, but calling them lovers would be too much.
It felt more like a partnership built on mutual benefit.
Besides, he had many things to deal with that were more urgent than romance.
Alex entered a nearby building and changed into a fresh set of clothes.
When he stepped back outside, the ruins of Crystal City were gone.
