Mr. Webb Sr. tightly gripped his son's arm and urgently said, "It's not like that. I'm just helping Peter because of a debt I owe. In my heart, you're the only son I have, my own flesh and blood."

Outside, the snowflakes were gently falling, covering the

Oceanville landscape in a blanket of white. Peter silently chuckled to himself and turned, his long shadow following him as he walked down the corridor. Suddenly, he felt like he was a joke, an outcast, an unworthy fool.

Meanwhile, Kisa could not sleep and decided to look out the window. Instead, she saw Peter standing alone in the snow. Ever since the first day she met the Webb family, she had sensed that there was something off about Peter.

Seeing him stand there motionless, Kisa furrowed her brow and grabbed her coat from the chair. But just as she was about to leave, Gilbert's cold voice stopped her in her tracks.

“What are you doing up at this hour?" Gilbert snapped.

“You go back to sleep. I'm going downstairs for a bit. I'll be back soon," Kisa replied, without looking back.

Gilbert was furious and threw off his covers. He pulled on his coat and headed to the window, his irritation palpable.

Kisa bundled up in her coat and caught up with Peter, eyeing him curiously. "It's late and it's snowing. What are you doing standing out here?" she asked.

Peter turned slowly, his eyes staring at hers. There was a strange glint in them, one that Kisa could not quite decipher. It was a mix of doubt, mockery, and sorrow. It was the first time she had seen such a complicated emotion in his eyes.

She anxiously asked, "What's going on, Peter?"

“What is the point of existence?" Peter asked suddenly.

Kisa was taken aback. She could not understand how the usually arrogant and domineering Peter had suddenly become so sentimental.

She exclaimed, "What is wrong with you? Are you still upset about the marriage your father arranged for you? You don't have to worry about it. If you don't like it, just refuse it. By the way, have you heard from Jolina lately? Since you returned to Oceanville, she has left Calthon, saying that there was some trouble at home. I have been trying to contact her, but— hey—"

Kisa did not finish her sentence before she saw Peter turning around and walking out of the courtyard. She hurriedly caught up with him, but he suddenly turned around and growled at her in disgust, "Don't follow me!"

Kisa was taken aback by his outburst. He was crying and laughing at the same time, like a bundle of contradictions.

He shook his head continuously and murmured, "I shouldn't have existed. I shouldn't have existed in this world..."

He muttered to himself and suddenly ran outside as if he had gone mad.

As Kisa watched Peter storm out into the darkness, she could not help but wonder what had happened to him. 'He's usually so confident and full of himself, but now he seems like a completely different

person.'

Meanwhile, Gilbert was sulking in the corner, smoking his cigarette and stewing over his jealousy. He hated how Kisa seemed to only care about everyone else. The level of hate he gave off was nothing compared to his unwavering obsession with her.

Kisa climbed up the stairs, lost in her thoughts. She was so engrossed in her own musings that she found herself on the third floor without even realizing it. As she was about to turn around and head back, she heard a loud thud coming from one of the rooms nearby.

Curiosity piqued, Kisa looked around. According to the grapevine, only Peter from the Webb family lived on the third floor. Everyone else, including her and Gilbert, resided on the second floor. So she wondered who possibly was in that room now that Peter had already left.
