Dawn Sutherland took a sharp drag of his cigarette, coughing twice due to his haste. When he spoke again, his voice was a bit hoarse and raspy: "Arlo, back then you waited for Ariel, knowing full well that her return date was uncertain, yet you still chose to wait, without hesitation, for eight years. But as a brother, I never asked you to give up on her, so Arlo, can you say to , tell not to give up on Daisy?"
Arlo Seys sighed heavily, speaking in a deep tone: "It’s different, Dawn. Ariel left alone, so of course I’d wait. But Daisy Grant is getting married, she’s marrying Aidan Sutherland. She’s about to beco your sister-in-law, don’t you know? Once she marries Aidan, any possibility between you two is zero! Are you hoping that after her marriage she would divorce him and be with you? Dawn, even if she divorces, you’ll be related as uncle and sister-in-law, marrying Daisy will suffocate you with scandalous talks!"
Dawn Sutherland lit a new cigarette, his gaze heavy and somber: "So, Arlo, you too want to persuade to give up, right?"
Arlo Seys looked at Dawn, feeling the bitterness and pain in Dawn’s heart, knowing unrequited love is the most tornting.
"Dawn, you can only give up. As a brother, I really don’t want you to struggle and suffer in the whirlpool of emotions."
Dawn moved his cigarette-holding fingers slightly, his deep eyes fixed on Arlo Seys. "Arlo, if Ariel hasn’t returned to the country by now, would you get married? Would you still wait for her?"
Arlo Seys took a puff of his cigarette, his delicate eyebrows like a painting, "I have a decade-long promise with her. If she left, I’d wait for her for ten years. If after ten years she still hasn’t returned, I might still wait for another ten years. Life has many decades, surely one of them would be the one where she returns."
Dawn chuckled bitterly, "Then do you think I can easily let go of my love for Daisy?"
Arlo Seys didn’t speak, just let out a deep sigh, standing quietly beside Dawn as he smoked.
Dawn moved his fingertip again, flicking off the ash, glancing at his wristwatch on his left wrist, smiling bitterly, his voice a bit hoarse: "Arlo, do you know? You’re not the first person to tell to give up. The first person to tell to give up on my love, was—Daisy."
"She said she wants to be happy, wants to give up on the girl in my heart from a story of love that ends in nothingness, to find soone else, and live a happy life."
"But she doesn’t know, the one I like is her. The love she wants to give up is the deep affection buried in my heart for more than a decade, and it’s a love I cannot speak of."
"Arlo, everyone is telling to give up, and I’ve even started to doubt whether my persistence is insane! For Daisy Grant, I can’t express my love, nor can I give up on her, what can I do? I’m in so much pain!"
Arlo Seys finished his cigarette, glanced at Dawn, and comfortingly patted his shoulder, saying in a deep voice: "Think it over carefully, Dawn. Actually, what Nico said in the hospital wasn’t wrong, try to date Evalian Chapman, maybe you two will be a good fit. As for Daisy Grant, Dawn, she’s great, but she’s about to marry soone else, and that person is your half-brother."
"Arlo, I know you’re all thinking about my well-being, but the thought of giving up on Daisy makes feel like all the aning behind my struggles in this life is lost, so confused. I’ve worked hard to stand at the peak, but without her by my side, what’s the point? Even if I succeed in standing at the top of my career, if the person standing next to isn’t the one I love, sharing in that joy and happiness, I think I’ll never live a happy life in this lifeti."
