Newton was transported back in time, where Anne stood in front of him, bare-faced and dressedmodestly but still looking stunning. It was no surprise that Javier fell head over heels for her.
Anne told him, “Mr. Beckett, I’m here today to make a plea. Please allow me to leave Javier and theBeckett family.”
Newton was disturbed by her request. “You’re leaving us? What about Jasper? Are you leaving withhim as well?”
She shook her head softly, saying, “The main purpose of my visit is to inform you that I will leave theBeckett family without bringing anything with me, including Jasper.
“Jasper is my son, but he’s Javier’s son and your grandson as well. I can see that you care for Jaspervery much, and I’d be relieved and comforted knowing he has a caring grandfather.
“Besides, I am aware of my health condition. Jasper will only suffer if day, and I don’t want that tohappen.”

“Are you really willing to part ways with all the wealth and fame? Or have you fallen in love with anotherman? Did you date Javier because of his family background, not because you have feelings for him?”
Upon voicing the question, Newton realized he had come across as rather harsh. Despite that, Anneremained composed without a hint of resentment. “No, Mr. Beckett. I love Javier very much, but I amnot the ideal candidate to be his wife and lead the Beckett Group with my health condition. I don’t knowhow much longer I have with him.
“He deserves a lovely and capable woman who could care for him and his children and elevate hiscareer. But I cannot fulfill those duties, and I do not want to be a burden to him. I’d rather he move onfrom me so I can leave without worries.”
Newton teared up when he recounted the exchange.
