Chapter 1263: Chapter 1260

If Oliver Walker truly harbored feelings beyond mere affection for Jessica Wright, Emilia might mourn, but she would also divorce him with a smile!

Parting on good terms, right?

They had weathered storms together for eight or nine years, and if you include the moment she saved Oliver Walker, they had known each other for over a decade.

But how many decades does one have in a lifetime?

Without a doubt…

Ever since her heart first fluttered, the man before her had occupied her entire heart!

In all those years, she had never entertained even the slightest affection for any man other than Oliver Walker, not even granting a second glance.

“The boy from the past simply saw the girl as a dear sister.”

“But later, he realized that those feelings were mixed with many more emotions!”

Oliver Walker took a deep breath; he did not want to keep secrets from his wife. The more he hid, the more he risked losing everything when the truth came out: “But the boy’s feelings for his wife have never changed from the beginning to the end.”

“That’s why he’s so torn over whether he should come clean!”

Once all the words were spoken, he hung his head low like a prisoner awaiting sentence, both eager and fearful of his wife’s reaction.

At this moment, his heart was truly tormented!

He could understand how the girl must be feeling!

“Oliver Walker!”

Emilia called his name, one she hadn’t used in a long time, and slowly stood up: “If our bond is at its end, I can leave, preserving dignity for us both.”

“But no matter what, she is someone you must save!”

“And saving and loving are two different things!”

She understood her husband very well!

Not saving her was out of the question!

So she wouldn’t try to stop him.

But what was truly comforting was that Oliver Walker truly loved her; otherwise, he wouldn’t be so conflicted in this decision.

At least…

The man before her had not grown tired of the old and thrown her aside.

At least…

The man before her still prioritized his family and was willing to discuss these matters with her.

This showed that in Oliver Walker’s heart, she occupied an irreplaceable position.

“I…”

“I will be careful!”

Oliver Walker’s usually sharp eyes showed no confidence, but rather hesitation: “But you are the one person I have never regretted loving in this life!”

“Not now, nor in the future!”

“To me, you are indispensable and irreplaceable!”

His wife’s words had already made things clear.

She supported his trip to the Eastern Alliance, but…

She was also advising him to manage their relationship carefully and maintain a safe distance.

“Yes!”

Emilia smiled gently, suppressing all her worries within her heart, and then said: “Get some rest early!”

Oliver Walker took his wife’s hand and walked towards the villa!

On the long pathway, two figures leaned on each other, casting shadows that cuddled together.

But in their hearts, there was much to ponder.

Oliver Walker was considering how, after bringing the girl home, he could help her overcome her inner demons.

And how he could avoid crossing the boundary of familial love.

As for Emilia, she was filled with worry; she knew her husband was a man of great loyalty and sincerity.

Jessica Wright could either be the recipient of his genuine feelings, or she could be using their past sibling-like relationship to manipulate Oliver Walker.

In fact, Oliver Walker had no real faults!

If one had to point out a fatal flaw, it would be that he valued emotions too highly.

That night, the couple did not talk further and behaved as if nothing had happened.

They cuddled with each other until dawn.

Emilia went to Heavenly Sect Pharmaceuticals, while Oliver Walker headed to his study.

“You’re going to the Eastern Alliance?”

Oliver Harris rushed over upon hearing the news: “Have you considered the consequences?”

The risks involved were indeed numerous.

In the East Mainland, countless zealous ancient warriors would love to hunt down Oliver Walker.

Even if the Eastern Alliance agreed, would Oliver Walker’s presence there really bring peace?
