Alvin knew she wasn't done yet, so he watched her in silence.
Anya waited for a few seconds before continuing, "I am grateful for whatever you have done for me. But, Alvin, I have my life, my responsibilities, and my work. There are things I don't like to give up."
Anya paused looking at him still not reacting. So she voiced everything calmly so that he could understand her situation, "I agreed to stay back, it wasn't because I can't keep my family safe or I can't bring my family out of your place. I am still scared of what will happen to my son and parents in your mansion. But I am trying my best not to hurt you again as I did in the harbor."
Hurting him was like hurting herself. She chose to take the burden and pressure so that he won't be mad at her or feel deceived by her.
