Chapter 148: As Long as Your Relationship is Good, Don’t Bother About Me

Simon continued to silently follow behind the two of them, thinking, “As long as your relationship isgood, don’t bother about me.”

Fortunately, they hadn’t walked far when Simon noticed several delivery personnel stationed along theroad. It meant that as long as the money was paid, they could help deliver items to specified locations,making it easier for tourists visiting this place.

Simon thought that they still had a long way to go, and it wasn’t convenient to carry everything, so hepicked out some necessary items and had the rest sent away by the delivery service. Of course, he didthis with the agreement of Martina and Benjamin; otherwise, he wouldn’t have dared to take suchaction.

After walking for a while, Martina was concerned that Benjamin’s body might not hold up well, so shesuggested taking a seat nearby.

Benjamin believed there was no need to hurry, so he agreed. They still had a bit of a walk to reach theedge of the cliff, which would probably take another ten minutes or so.

Taking a short rest sounded like a good idea.

The two of them found a bench nearby and sat down, while Simon silently cleaned the bench inadvance for them.

Recently, due to the increased interaction with Benjamin, Martina gradually discovered Simon’sremarkable abilities which made her respect him. Sometimes, she even wondered if she could be asgood as Simon if she became an assistant herself.

Simon sensed a probing gaze and a cold gaze directed at him, and instantly assumed a ready–to–follow–orders expression. The two gazes were from Martina and Benjamin, of course.

Benjamin’s possessiveness towards Martina was very strong now, so when he noticed Martina showinginterest in observing Simon, he couldn’t help but feel displeased.

Simon immediately figured out the situation and anxiously looked at Martina, asking, “Miss Martinez, doyou need any help? Why are you looking at me like that?”

He didn’t dare to say it directly, “Miss Martinez, please, you mustn’t keep looking at me like that. If youdo, I’m afraid I won’t be able to keep my life.”

Of course, Martina had no idea what was going on in Simon’s mind.

“It’s nothing. I just feel that you’re doing a great job as an assistant,” she simply answered. “The wayyou and Benjamin understand each other without even exchanging a single glance is reallyremarkable. You helped a lot. No wonder Benjamin decided to keep you by his side.”

These words came straight from Martina’s heart. She genuinely appreciated how hard it was to be suchan assistant. It was not a job that anyone could do.

Simon blushed a little; he probably didn’t expect Martina to suddenly praise him like this, making himfeel a bit uncomfortable.

Through their time together, Simon realized that Martina wasn’t as terrible as he had initially imagined.In fact, she was a very well–mannered, polite, and intelligent woman, wasn’t she? Perhaps his previousmisconceptions were due to some preconceived notions.

Simon politely said, “Thank you. This is just what I should do. The boss pays me a good salary everymonth, so it’s only right and proper that I do my best in this position.”

Martina sighed, “Maybe you are right, but…well, forget it. I don’t think you’ll understand even if Iexplain.”

The three of them rested here for a while, feeling that their energy had recovered enough, and theyreplenished their water before preparing to continue their journey.

One minute before they set off, Martina specially touched the wound on Benjamin’s back. “How are youfeeling? Any pain? If you can’t walk anymore, just tell me. We don’t have to come here at this moment.We can always come back in the future.”

Benjamin’s calm face showed a hint of surprise. His gaze fell on Martina. Unlike the usual indifferenceand dismissiveness he had towards others, his eyes were filled with complex emotions that were hardto understand,

“Future?” he repeated the word, seemingly pondering something.

Martina was puzzled, “Yes. Is there a problem?”

Benjamin seemed to think of something but eventually shook his head, “No. And I’m feeling fine.”

In reality, Benjamin had a lot on his mind. Since Martina could openly talk about the future and stayingtogether, did that mean that the current Martina didn’t want to leave anymore?

Their pace was not slow, and they soon arrived at the edge of the cliff. Although it was a real cliff, therewere some safety measures in place, such as iron chains and stone pillars, all designed to protectpedestrians.

Almost all the people who came to this place were couples, one man and one woman. Of course, therecould be situations like the one that Simon saw earlier, but those cases were relatively rare.

When Martina and the others arrived here, they didn’t rush to lock their matching locks. Benjamin tookthe locks from Martina’s hand and wrote something on them.

At this critical moment, Martina unintentionally looked towards the edge of the cliff and noticedsomething very unexpected. The couple who should have been very sweet didn’t hang the locks on thechains like others did.

Instead, they took out a series of lock–picking tools and removed one pair of the many locks hangingon the chains at the cliff’s edge.

There were tens of thousands, if not more, pairs of locks on this cliff. It would be really challenging toreplace their own locks among so many.

Martina clearly saw the girl sobbing uncontrollably but trying hard not to cry out loud.

Her shoulders were shaking from the sobs.

The young man looked at the girl’s back with apparent helplessness and sadness.

It was unclear what had happened between the two, but they looked well–matched in appearance andtemperament. However, fate seemed to play a cruel trick on them.

After about a few tens of seconds, the man finally spoke, “Let’s stop here.” “From now on, you do yourthing, and I’ll do mine. We’ll follow different paths.” “After this, we’ll marry other people, and we won’thave any more connections. The matching locks on this cliff were our last obstacle, but I’ve unlockedthem.”

“Honey, I’ll call you this way one last time. I hope you will be happy and replace everlasting happiness afterleaving me. Goodbye.”

Under Martina’s watchful gaze, the man actually turned and walked away.

At this moment, the girl suddenly turned around, seemingly wanting to call out to stop the young man’sdeparture. However, when she saw his resolute steps, her words got stuck in her throat.

Clasping her hands tightly around her arms, she crouched down on the ground, sobbing loudly, “I didn’twant this… I’m sorry… We were not meant to be… I’m sorry…”
