Chapter 401
“Yes, we don’t require an excessive amount of romance, but Jaxen’s farewell to the girl he loves demands a ki*s to express the full depth of his emotions.
Without it, he wouldn’t feel as guilty when burying her body.
” Jayson remained obstinate in his belief that the ki*s was necessary.
He didn’t think it was a big deal since both Tyler and Ariana were single and well-acquainted with each other.
Therefore, he wasn’t concerned about it.
Jayson was unaware of the truth and had assumed that Ariana was single.
However, Tyler was growing uneasy.
“Jaxen can express his love differently.
We don’t have to ki*s.
”
“The ki*s is the most direct way to express his emotions.
If you can’t do it, we can fake it.
Without this ki*s, the story feels incomplete.
” Jayson’s stubbornness was difficult to overcome, except perhaps by his wife.
Tyler shared some similarities with Jayson.
For instance, he was persistent and wouldn’t give up easily.
Furthermore, he was not easily swayed by the opinions of others.
He argued, “Based on Jaxen’s character, he wouldn’t dare to ki*s the girl, believing himself unworthy.
Perhaps it would be better to change it so that the girl takes the initiative and ki*ses Jaxen’s cheek, a small, gentle ki*s.
This would be more in line with Jaxen’s hopeless romantic fantasy.
Furthermore, from a different perspective, it symbolizes Jaxen’s hope of receiving forgiveness.
”
Jayson pondered the suggestion, remaining silent for a moment.
“Jaxen is a reserved and self-controlled character.
He should be very patient around the girl he likes, not wanting to shatter his fantasy.
ki*sing her on the lips would be too direct and not in line with his character.
” Tyler was truly an exceptional student, analyzing the issue accurately and persuading Jayson.
“alright, a ki*s on the cheek it is.
”
Finally, Jayson conceded, finding Tyler’s argument reasonable.
After hearing this, Ariana let out a sigh of relief and consented.
A small ki*s on Tyler’s cheek wouldn’t be a big deal after all.

Jayson allowed them half an hour to prepare.
Nervously, Tyler apologized to Ariana.
“I’m sorry.
I should have tried harder to convince Jayson to remove the ki*sing scene altogether.
”
“Why are you apologizing?” Ariana patted his head and gave him a smile.
Since Tyler’s role in the play was that of a decadent character, he wore a long wig that didn’t feel as soft as his natural hair.
Ariana then wiped her fingers with a hint of distaste, comforting Tyler.
“ki*sing your cheek is fine.
You’re an actor, so following the director’s instructions is natural.
Besides, I overheard your discussion just now and think the scene works well.
Don’t worry.
”
Tyler grasped her meaning, yet his nerves persisted.
“But I’m concerned Mr.
Anderson might take issue with it if he finds out.
What if he becomes jealous and starts an argument with you?”
Upon hearing Tyler mention Theodore, Ariana was taken aback.
She suddenly realized she hadn’t been in contact with Theodore for over a week.
Occasionally, Horace would check in on her and offer assistance.
But of Theodore, she knew nothing.
In recent days, she had tried her best to put him out of her mind, immersing herself in work and pretending not to care.
Yet, as Tyler unexpectedly brought him up, she couldn’t help but feel a deep pain inside.
