It was such a simple wish, but it felt impossible to make it come true. Micah, who used to be so full of life, now loved with such humility.

Andrew, feeling crushed, blurted out, "What if we just tell her the truth?"

"Shut up!" Micah suddenly grabbed his neck, warning him harshly, "If you dare let her know, I'll kill you! And your Annika, too!"

"Ugh, ugh, ugh," Andrew almost choked but didn't dare fight back.

Luckily, Micah let go soon enough. Andrew collapsed onto the sofa, clutching his neck and coughing like crazy. Once he could breathe again, he quickly said, "I'm sorry, Mr. Clemens. I was just suggesting. I won't say anything. I swear on my life!"

"Don't ever bring this up again," Micah snapped. "I want her to come back to me because she wants to, not out of pity."

"Yes, I get it," Andrew nodded frantically.

Micah didn't say another word, just picked up his glass and drank in silence.

Andrew, standing nearby, cautiously reminded him, "Maybe you should stop after this one. You have to meet Hubert early tomorrow." Rylan had given the documents to Hubert, and after looking them over, Hubert asked Micah to meet him first thing in the morning. "Shut up!" Micah barked, clearly annoyed.

Andrew didn't dare say another word and stood there with his head down.

Just then, there was a knock on the door. Andrew went to check, and the manager brought in a pot of tea, saying nervously, "Ms. Graham prepared this. She asked me to bring it over."

"Didn't Ms. Graham leave?" Andrew asked, confused.

"She waited for her attendant to brew the tea and told me to bring it to Mr. Clemens before she left," the manager said weakly, looking at Andrew. "She said Mr. Clemens didn't look well and shouldn't drink too much. She also said Mr. Clemens would definitely like this tea."

"That's right. I was watching the whole time and followed the manager here," said the bodyguard who had escorted Olivia out. "Her bodyguard came to pick her up. Ethan saw her out, and I followed the manager back."

"Alright, you can go now," Andrew said, taking the tea, checking it, and then bringing it to Micah. "You heard everything."

"She's pretty thoughtful," Micah said, looking at the pot of tea and thinking about Olivia's gentle and loving eyes. "If only Sadie could be like this to me."

"Ms. Graham really put in some effort," Andrew said, pouring a cup of tea. "Want to try it?"

Micah took the cup and smelled it. It was high-quality tea. Because of his treatment, he'd been on medication for a long time, and his stomach had become pretty sensitive. Every time he drank alcohol, he'd feel awful for a long time. But he never mentioned this to anyone. He didn't expect Olivia to notice such a small detail.

"I didn't say anything," Andrew said, now a bit scared, worried that Micah might overthink.

"Actually, if you pay attention, you'll notice," Micah muttered, taking a sip of the tea and praising it. "It's really good."

"Someone still cares about you," Andrew said softly. "Every time you drink, your stomach hurts so much you can't sleep. See, isn't it much better to have some tea?"

Micah didn't say anything, just looked at the teacup, lost in thought.

At that moment, his phone buzzed with a text message. He opened it and saw it was a video from Olivia.

On the beach of Mystic Ocean, a dazzling display of fireworks was lighting up the sky.

The fireworks rose into the sky, forming the words: "Micah, be happy!"

There was also a cute smiley face at the end, reminding him of Olivia's gentle face.

Turns out, the good place Olivia mentioned was actually a surprise she had set up for him on the beach. She had seen the sadness in his eyes. She didn't ask much; she just wanted to create some romance to make him smile more.
