Before the startled Jenna could even ask what he was doing here, Keith asked, “Why haven’t you replied to any of my messages or emails? Did you just plan on ignoring me for the rest of my life until I came over to meet you?”
…So he had come over just to meet her? Feeling her heart skip a beat, Jenna replied, “…I wouldn’t have answered the door if I knew that it was you.”
Squinting slightly, Keith replied, “…Why not? Have you still not gotten over Uncle Zivon?”
Shaking her head, Jenna then said, “No, no, I’ve let go of him ages ago. It’s just… I don’t deserve your love, and you know it. I’m filthy, and the only fate I deserve is to remain here to atone for my sins for life…”
It took him a while, but Keith eventually held her hand and replied, “…True, you were an evil woman in the past, but it’s clear that you’ve changed for the better. With that said, you deserve every bit of happiness that you can get, at least from me.”
Though Jenna was momentarily touched by his words, she quickly reminded herself of all the innocents that she had murdered… She didn’t deserve to be alive, nor did she deserve happiness…
Clenching her fists, Jenna replied, “…Please don’t make things difficult for me… Just… Leave!”
Following that, she quickly closed the door behind her, leaving Keith standing there beneath the heavy rain that had just started to pour…
Following a long pause, Keith finally said, “…I refuse to budge. Listen, if you wish to atone for your sins, I want to be by your side the entire time, so… Stop pushing me away.”
Before Jenna could reply, she realized that he had slipped a document under the gap of her door… and after reading it, her eyes widened. After all, the document revealed that Keith had signed up to be a volunteer teacher in the countryside! Immensely touched, she ended up giving in in the end…
Things were slow at the start, but eventually, the couple began building bridges, houses, and even roads to the village to make it easier for the people living there… They also made sure to teach the children to always be kind and righteous no matter what happened… and eventually, the duo managed to raise a group of intelligent and proper younglings.
In fact, their results were so good that they rivaled that of students from well-known schools. Naturally, such an incident hit the news, and Xavia eventually came across it.
