Many of the village's facilities were actually funded by Ethan.
After learning Ethan was from the capital, Maya also knew he came from the Gray family, which was as prominent as the former Mitchell family. But since Ethan wanted to keep a low profile, she didn't mention it—after all, Ethan didn't want empty fame.
Now that Ethan had the village chief tell everyone about his donations, it was essentially for Maya's sake.
He was worried there might still be villagers tempted by the thirty million Connor mentioned who would have opinions about Maya.
By revealing his own donations, he wanted everyone to understand that Ethan also had the ability to provide that money, with no strings attached. His pursuit of Maya was serious.
"You don't have to do this. Now that the village chief announced it, you'll probably have even more people coming to you for favors." Maya said.
Ethan smiled. "I don't care. If a little more trouble for me means less trouble for you, I think it's a pretty good deal."
Maya's heart warmed. She knew every word Ethan said was sincere.
The difference between him and Connor was that Connor would turn three parts love into ten parts words, while Ethan would turn ten parts love into twelve parts action.
"Ethan, thank you."
"It's what I should do," Ethan replied.
They smiled at each other. Everything understood without words.
Connor stayed in the village for a week and still refused to leave. Even neighboring villages knew Connor had come looking for Maya, but the villagers were afraid of misunderstandings, so they actively spread word about Connor's situation.
Wherever Connor went, he was unwelcome. Even for his three daily meals, he had to travel far to town to buy food because no one in the nearby villages would serve him.
No matter how much Connor begged or made a scene, Maya wouldn't spare him another glance. Meanwhile, Connor had to watch Ethan appear by Maya's side every day, watching Maya laugh and chat with him.
Connor was consumed with jealousy. He couldn't stand seeing Maya with someone else.
One night, he actually climbed into Maya's courtyard and snuck into her room. He wanted to use his own methods to make Maya accept him—even if she hated him more, it didn't matter. As long as something happened again between them, Maya wouldn't accept anyone else.
Maya was shocked by Connor's despicability. Her resistance woke Lily, who grabbed the shovel from the house and rushed into the room. Just as she'd promised, she protected Maya.
Connor's head was covered in blood. Maya held the terrified Lily in her arms and rushed out of the courtyard.
The villagers all woke up from the commotion and were disgusted by what had happened. When they escorted Connor to the police station, they couldn't help but rough him up.
Even as Connor was surrounded by the crowd, he kept looking at Maya.
Maya turned and ran to Ethan. After the shock, she hugged Ethan—when faced with danger, the first person who came to her mind was Ethan.
Connor was taken to the police station.
Months later, he was sentenced. Connor still wouldn't give up and sent letters from prison, wanting to see Maya one more time. Maya burned the letters without reading them.
Even after Connor was released from prison, he would be sent back to the capital and forbidden from getting anywhere near Maya. Maya had completely kicked this person out of her life.
One day, Maya held Lily's hand in one of hers and Ethan's hand in the other as the three of them climbed up the mountain to the cemetery together.
Maya looked at her daughter's photo on the tombstone, pulled Ethan to her side, and smiled happily.
"Baby, this time I want to introduce you to someone."
