She never expected Dawn Sutherland’s feelings for the girl he secretly admired were so deep that a single word from her could determine his decision to marry. This indifferent attitude, where it didn’t matter who else he married if it wasn’t her, pierced Evalian Chapman’s heart like a sharp needle.
The two stood for a long ti, silently in the quiet corridor.
Evalian’s gaze remained on Dawn, and soon she saw him, who never smoked, take out a pack of cigarettes from his pocket, light one, and begin to smoke leisurely.
Dawn’s elegance radiated from his very bones, even smoking was done elegantly. His perfect profile and deep eyes added a noble and mysterious touch to his overall graceful aura in the swirling smoke, making him unfathomable.
Looking at Dawn, Evalian felt her heart race. As Dawn smoked half the cigarette, Evalian finally couldn’t hold back and spoke the source of her inner conflict.
Evalian fixed her eyes on Dawn, deliberately smiling lightly, "Then marry , Dawn. Since you don’t care whom you marry, then marry ."
As Evalian’s words fell, the ash from the cigarette pinched between Dawn’s fingers fell. The movent of bringing the cigarette to his lips paused, and he did not continue.
Looking at Evalian, Dawn’s voice was low, "Evalian, marry . You know I have soone I like in my heart. I can only treat you with respect, not with love. Marry , but honestly you’d be better off choosing soone who loves you."
Even though she knew Dawn was speaking the truth, Evalian’s heart still ached. She looked at Dawn and tugged at the corners of her mouth, "I know, but Dawn, I’m still willing. You might not know this, but I liked you since we were in high school. Many in our class adored the top abstinence system god, Arlo Seys, or the carefree Nico Haynes, but I liked you, the gentle and elegant you, warm and serene, like a gentle breeze. So, Dawn, marrying you, I am wholeheartedly willing."
Dawn remained silent, holding the cigarette, his brows drawn together.
Evalian smiled slightly, "Aren’t you willing to marry anyone? Then marry ! I have confidence that we will be happy together! And ti will make you transfer the love you have for her to ."
Dawn glanced at Evalian, his voice low and deep, "Evalian, in this life, I could never let her go, so I’m not the one you should choose. You can choose soone much better than ."
Evalian shook her head, smiling faintly, "No, it has to be you. Dawn, I’m willing to gamble my life with you, betting that you’ll forget her."
After Evalian finished speaking, what greeted her was endless silence. Dawn leaned against the wall with the cigarette, saying nothing.
"Dawn, think it over. If you agree, call anyti, I’ll be waiting for you." Evalian gave Dawn a deep look, lifted her foot, and left.
Evalian had been gone a long ti before Dawn heaved a heavy sigh, sowhat returning to his senses.
He looked down at the delicate watch on his left wrist, fingers involuntarily brushing against it, bitterness surging in his heart.
"Daisy Grant, because of your words wishing happiness and your words of reassurance, do you know how painful it was for to make the decision to marry?"
"Daisy Grant, even despite this, I’ve never regretted eting you when I was seven."
"Daisy Grant, why are we destined but not fated? Your calling ’Second Brother’ is the concern I can’t let go of in this lifeti."
Dawn smoked several more cigarettes on the spot, recalling scenes from his childhood with Daisy Grant. His brows furrowed, and finally, he couldn’t resist taking out his phone and dialing a number...

PS: Who do you think Second Brother called? What do you think he said?
