Zu Wan was at a loss for words. He hadn't told her yet but Eva knew that his apology had something to do with Titania.
And what she meant by saying he had feelings for her twin sister? Even he, himself, didn't acknowledge it yet but Eva was already aware of his feelings towards Titania.
"I-I… please don't misunderstand, Eva. You're the woman I love… it's just that… there were times I could see you in her… maybe because I missed you so much and she was your twin sister. Both of you have the same appearance." Zu Wan tried to explain and defend himself.
Eva just smiled at him meaningfully. "Alright, my dearest husband. Come with me… I wanna show you something." Eva extended her right hand to Zu Wan in which he gladly accepted, following his wife.
As the two continued walking, the environment suddenly lit up. It was no longer a place filled with darkness. A beautiful paradise greeted Zu Wan's eyes.
He felt like they returned to their original world where the two of them met each other… to the place where their love bloomed and grew so deep.
At this moment, Zu Wan and Eva recalled their moments together… the moment the demon god accidentally fell in love with a mere human. And Zhen-Zhen was the proof of their true love.
'Dying to be with her again… I have no regrets,' Zu Wan murmured to himself, watching Eva with his loving eyes. He tightened his grip on her hand, not letting her go.
Eva also savored this moment. She took her time strolling around this beautiful paradise. No one was there to disturb them aside from the birds and other animals living in that area.
"The waterfalls!" Zu Wan mumbled with his elated voice the moment he saw the waterfalls nearby. He immediately pulled Eva going to the waterfall.
"Let's dive into the water!" Without waiting for Eva's response, Zu Wan jumped into the water, dragging Eva in the process.
Splash!
Their bodies immediately submerged in the water. Zu Wan laughed cheerfully, which he hadn't done for so long. Eva also joined him as they laughed together while hugging each other in the water.
The two shared several intimate moments under that waterfall, kissing and loving each other. Zu Wan's happiness was overflowing. It felt so wonderful to be with his wife once again.
Zu Wan thought this moment would never end. However, after spending enough time with Zu Wan, Eva had finally decided to say goodbye.
They were now sitting on the ground under the big tree near the waterfall. Zu Wan was hugging Eva's body from behind.
"Zu Wan… It's now time to go," Eva mumbled, tilting her head to the side as she looked up at him.
Zu Wan knitted his eyebrows in a frown. He was puzzled and confused by her words. "Time to go? Where? Where are we going?"
Eva fell silent for a moment. She somehow felt reluctant to leave him once again but she had to. She had to let go of Zu Wan. She promised Zhen-Zhen that everything would be fine.
"We have to go separate ways, Zu Wan."
Zu Wan's eyes dimmed upon hearing that. He didn't want to be separated from her.
"Why? We have to stick together. I will not allow you to leave my side again." Zu Wan hugged Eva tightly, not allowing her to leave.
Eva heaved a deep sigh, holding and stroking Zu Wan's hands. "Zu Wan… you can't go with me. You have to go back. Go back to our daughter. She still needs you. Don't make her sad… don't make her cry… You have to take care of her… take care of our grandchildren."
Zu Wan's eyes were filled with complicated emotions. Of course, he wanted to be with his daughter and take care of their grandchildren… watch them grow up. But… he didn't want to leave Eva alone.
"I can't leave you… alone." Zu Wan mumbled with his hoarse voice. His heart constricted inside his chest.
This time Eva turned around to face him. Cupping his face, Eva kissed away the tears that were threatening to fall from the corners of his eyes.
"I had a great time with you… I love you, Zu Wan. Please don't stay in our past. Start over again."
Zu Wan stubbornly shook his head. "I can't… I can't leave you."
Eva caressed his face, smiling at him with her loving eyes. "You are not leaving me… you are just returning to the place where you should be… to our daughter's side."
"Go back now, Zu Wan. She needs you. Can you bear to see her cry… Can you stand it, knowing she is suffering right now? She wants you back and I am here to fulfill that."
"I can't go back… I already died… I transferred all my lifespan to Tristan."
"I gave you mine," She promptly responded.
Zu Wan didn't want to believe that. Eva died a long time ago. How could she give him her lifespan?
"Trust me… You will have to go back." Eva was still trying to convince Zu Wan.
Since he was still refusing, Eva had no choice but to let Zu Wan hear Zhen-Zhen's prayer… her wish to be with her father again.
"Can you hear that? It's Zhen-Zhen's voice. She is calling your name."
Zu Wan's eyes were filled with longing upon hearing the hint of pain and sadness in Zhen-Zhen's voice. He lowered his head while clenching his fists. He already let go of Eva's body.
At that moment, Eva's lips curled up into a triumphant smile. She knew it! Zu Wan couldn't bear to see Zhen-Zhen sad.
Eva moved closer to Zu Wan. She tiptoed, kissing him one last time. This was a kiss of goodbye. It lasted for several minutes.
Soon, Eva pushed Zu Wan and he fell into darkness once again. He was being sucked into another dimension and he lost consciousness once more.
When he woke up, he was already in a familiar world where he could hear the sound of speeding cars on the street!
