William never believed in staying friends after a breakup.
Although he and Evelyn had never truly started anything, Alice knew about Evelyn.
If William really continued to treat Evelyn as a friend, even keeping in regular contact, it would be like a thorn in Alice's side.
In ancient times, men could have multiple wives, and emperors could have many women.
William from that era could accept these norms, but times have changed.
Back then, if a successful man didn't have several lovers, people might say his wife was jealous.
Similarly, women in ancient times didn't mind their men having multiple wives, some even took pride in it.
But now, things are different.
William had to consider Alice's feelings.
A clean break was necessary!
There was no need to remain friends.
"Alright, I understand!" Evelyn nodded, feeling a hint of loss at that moment, which made her realize she might not have truly let go.
