Chapter 1437: The Most Unforgettable First Encounter

"If you really have to choose, Arlo, it’s cruel. On one hand, there’s the indelible bond of blood, and on the other, a lover you can’t let go. Whichever side you choose, the rest of your life will be filled with regret."

"Family will never make you choose..." Arlo Seys murmured as he stood up, "I’m going to take a shower. Tonight, Nicole is coming home, so ask Aunt Forest to prepare a few dishes she loves."

"Okay," Ariel Morris laughed softly behind Arlo Seys, "Arlo really treats his sister like she’s getting married and rarely visiting home. As they say, a girl with a doting brother is the happiest."

Thinking of her own brother, Ariel Morris smiled, "My brother is no less caring than Arlo."

He pampers her dearly.

Night.

Nicole came home for a meal. After dinner, she was called to Arlo Seys’ study.

"Brother, did you need to talk to me?" Nicole stood in front of Arlo Seys’ desk.

Arlo Seys glanced at Nicole, his gaze first sweeping over her fingertips. Not seeing the engagement ring from Steven Cooper, he sighed internally, somewhat understanding.

"Nicole, if I ask you to solve a multiple-choice question, would you blame me?" Arlo Seys’ expression was calm, his eyes resting on the standing Nicole.

Nicole looked at her brother in surprise, "Brother, what kind of choice?"

"Family or the person you like, asking you to make a choice." Arlo Seys sat nonchalantly in the soft leather chair, his tone indifferent.

His indifferent tone made Nicole feel a bit anxious, "Brother..."

What happened today? Why did seeing her brother make her heart so flustered?

"Choose." Arlo Seys looked at Nicole with deep eyes.

Nicole looked at her indifferent brother, unable to fathom his thoughts, yet feeling an invisible pressure.

"Brother, let me share my inner thoughts with you. To say that there hasn’t been any psychological burden or stress these days would be a lie; this has been the most exhausting time of my life. Brother, do you know the happiest time in my life has been?"

...

Arlo Seys sat at his desk listening to Nicole’s words, not making a sound, maintaining a calm expression, his gaze deep.

Nicole spoke for a long time in Arlo Seys’ study, stopping after about two hours, quietly watching Arlo Seys, without saying another word.

Arlo Seys looked at Nicole, his tone light, "I understand."

"Brother, in this life, I can repay what I owe Brother Cooper. But for the person I owe the most, it makes me anxious and helpless, I have no idea if I’ll be able to repay it in the next life."

"Brother, the heart only moves once, that’s how people are, always realizing things too late. If time could repeat, if Wade’s death wasn’t in between, for him, I wouldn’t forget from the first meeting. I would love him desperately..."

"But time can’t repeat, and the roads we take can’t be retraced. On the path of love, he and I are getting further apart."

"Brother, actually, I really want to reach out, to bravely reach out once, smile brilliantly, and say ’I’m Nicole, what’s your name, shall we get to know each other?’"

"In fact, I’ve always wanted to return to the days when I was just ’Nicole.’ The Seys name in others’ eyes means nobility and wealth, but for me, ’Seys’ is warmth, is blood, is family. But for him and me, ’Seys’ is distance, is two different paths, we are moving in opposite directions."

Arlo Seys was silent for a long time, looking at Nicole with deep eyes, "I get it."
