Hope was truly gone.

Sprawled on the sofa, Nox overheard their entire conversation. He had braced himself for losing Shelly, yet his intense love for her had kept a spark of hope burning inside him.

Abruptly, Nox bolted upright from the sofa, drawing stares from the other four as they observed his strange actions.

“I’m heading back,” he declared.

“So, you’re finally willing to return?” Monica inquired.

“My wedding’s tomorrow. If I don’t leave now, I’ll miss it.” Nox let out a burp.

Even Monica felt a pang of sympathy for Nox in that moment. It wasn’t the marriage he desired, yet he forced himself into it anyway—to release both Shelly and his own heart.

The instant Nox rose from the sofa, he wobbled unsteadily. Edward steadied him. “You really set on going back?” “Yes.” Nox nodded firmly.

Whenever he was around Edward, Nox turned as docile as a lamb.

“Come on, I’ll take you home.” Edward then hauled Nox along.

His handling was somewhat rough, and Jeanne winced a bit watching it. Couldn’t he treat a heartbroken Nox with more care?

Once Edward shoved Nox into the car, he clasped Jeanne’s hand and told Monica and Finn, “I’ll drop Nox off. You two should go home soon as well.” “Will Nox be alright?” Monica still fretted.

“He’ll survive. Don’t worry, it’s nothing serious,” Edward replied straightforwardly.

Jeanne was at a loss for words over Edward’s lack of sympathy toward Nox, who appeared utterly despairing of the world.

As Edward pulled Jeanne into the car, Nox slumped back in his seat, gazing out the window.

His forlorn expression tugged at Jeanne’s heart, prompting her to say, “Nox, no need to rush into marriage. It’s not something to take lightly. Take time to reflect.”

“No reflection needed.” Nox murmured softly, “Anyone but Shelly will do.”

“Maybe your feelings will shift after a while.”

“Never.” Nox shook his head. In this lifetime, Shelly was the only one he loved.

Jeanne glanced at Edward, silently urging him to talk Nox out of marrying just anybody, lest he regret it later.

“Let him decide for himself.” Yet Edward didn’t oppose Nox’s choice. “He’s grown up and capable of sound judgment.”

Jeanne was speechless; she’d rarely seen Edward place such faith in Nox!

Upon reaching the Winters’ residence, Edward exited the car and assisted the inebriated Nox indoors, with Jeanne trailing close. It took effort to maneuver Nox onto the bed. The moment his body sank into the mattress, he rolled over, clutched the blanket, and passed out.

As Edward took Jeanne’s hand to depart, she hesitated. “Should we just leave him like this?”

“No need to fuss.”

“Won’t you help him change or remove his shoes?” Jeanne doubted Edward’s friendship. “He can handle it alone.” “He’s intoxicated.”

“He’ll sober up shortly.”

“Is he really your best friend?”

“Why do you seem more concerned about him than me?” Edward abruptly shifted the subject.

His unexpected remark caught Jeanne off guard. Truth be told, she just pitied Nox’s solitary misery.

“Jeanne, I get jealous too!” Edward warned sharply.

“Don’t be so narrow-minded!”

“I’ve never been generous where you’re concerned.”

Jeanne was speechless. She could never win an argument with Edward anyway.

“No more worrying over other guys from now on,” Edward commanded.

Jeanne stayed silent, evidently upset.

Edward gazed at her irritated face and felt a surge of desire. Unable to resist, he cradled her cheeks and kissed her deeply.

Jeanne’s face flushed red. His knack for getting turned on anywhere astonished her.

She started to push back when the man on the bed suddenly propped himself up. “Can’t you cut me some slack?”

Jeanne’s blush deepened, but Edward drew her closer into his embrace and faced Nox.

“If you two want to get affectionate, do it somewhere else! How can you tease me when I’m dying of heartbreak?” Nox vented his anger.

How could they act this way toward him in his condition? “Nox, you awake now?” Jeanne asked, concerned.
