Mallia Mamet had said this while gently embracing Edward, seeming very sincere in her apology.
Edward had just been acting with cautious humility, but seeing Mallia Mamet coax him like that, he stopped overthinking and instead started to earnestly think of solutions for her.
"However, didn't you use to love acting? I thought it was your dream, and you truly enjoyed it, but I never expected you to be so troubled by it. If you really despise it all, then just stop doing it."
Edward was speaking earnestly. He believed that even if Mallia Mamet wanted to live in China for the rest of her life, he had the capability to take good care of her and ensure she lived happily.
How could she just stop? If she gave up now, wouldn't all the effort she put in since her teens have been in vain?
"You don't understand, this reluctance isn't just temporary. If there really is a role I like, then of course I will still act!"
