Mylo suddenly felt a little depressed.
When he thought that he could do anything for Rita, there was still a man who had done everything for her. It was a lie to say that he was not jealous, but he was grateful for Jake's scheme.
"Thank you on behalf of Rita."
"No need. As a dying person, I don't need her gratitude. And you don't have to tell her about it. Rita is a very kind girl. If she knows it, it will become a thorn in her heart. She may not be able to pull it out for the rest of her life. Why do you have to do that? Do you want other men to exist in her heart?"
Jake looked at Mylo, the outstanding man in front of him.
It was impossible for him not to be jealous.
But Mylo could give Rita a perfect tomorrow, and he couldn't.
One was because of their status, and the other was because Rita didn't love him!
When Mylo appeared beside Rita, Jake knew that the person she loved was Mylo.
Because the way Rita looked at Mylo was different. Her attitude towards him was also different.
"The crudest thing in the world is that you like a person, but there was no love for yourself in that person's eyes.
However, Jake did not regret it.
He had lived a hard and humble life in this life. It was Rita who gave him a glimmer of sunshine and warmth, letting him know that there would be someone in the world who liked him.
Even if that love was a substitute for Mylo, the beauty that Rita had given him was like the most precious thing in his life. No matter how hard he tried, he couldn't wipe it away.
Mylo didn't say anything, and his previous hostility had disappeared a lot.
However, he was still quite depressed. He felt like he was being given something by Jake.
"Have you not considered the consequences of doing this?"
"I've thought about it, but it doesn't matter. At most, I'll live my life extremely once. I used to be a mouse in a ditch. It's Rita's blessing for me to live in the sun these years. Now I should go to the place where I should go."
After Jake finished speaking, he looked at Mylo and said in a low voice, "Will you treat her well? I heard that your two families are well matched. Zion is quite satisfied with you. The most important thing is that Rita likes you. That's why I quit. Otherwise, even if I take her everywhere in this life, I won't give her to you."
"Rita is not someone who's given to another. Jake, it was you who didn't fight for her. In fact, the years she knew you were the few years when I couldn't get close to her. You had many opportunities to pursue Rita. It was your own lack of confidence that made you give up on her. Sometimes, once you turned around, you will lost it forever. It was you who lost her."
Mylo's words made Jake speechless for a long time.
That was right.
It was his cowardice and inferiority that made him give up on Rita. Now, he had no chance.
"Take me away."
"Don't you want to see Rita?"
"There's no need. I've done what I want to do, and her body has recovered. This will be the end of my life."
Jake smiled in relief, but for some reason, it made Mylo a little confused.
"What are you going to do? Your life is still very long, and you are only in your twenties..."
"But I feel that I've reached the end of my life."
After that, Jake stopped talking.
Mylo didn't know when his second personality would come out again, so he took the opportunity to handcuff him and then called his people.
