Chapter 1436: Chapter 1436: Don’t Miss Me Too Much

"Hayes, there’s no point in us continuing like this. Let go. You’re going to marry Miss Hughes in the end, so what am I?" Stella said with red eyes, and those words echoed again in his ears.

Thinking about Stella, and Knox’s recent words, his hand fell powerlessly, and a faint bitterness appeared in his eyes.

Sometimes, he truly envied Knox.

Since childhood, he was groomed to be the successor, leading a life by the book. He knew exactly when he should get married, when he should have children, and when to take over the Simmons Clan...

Everything was arranged, like a clear-cut schedule, with times and tasks listed, and he just followed the tasks outlined step by step.

He was accustomed to such a life, used to obeying family arrangements, he couldn’t be like Knox, doing whatever he liked without a care.

"Brother, I’m leaving." Knox climbed down from the sofa, casually brushed off his clothes, tugged at his crumpled collar, "Oh, if Dad and Mom ask, just tell them I’m going traveling abroad for a while, not sure when I’ll be back."

After dropping these words, he turned to leave.

Hayes saw him beaten up like this, ignoring his injuries, but rushing out, immediately guessing what he was up to.

Traveling abroad? He’s going to find Scarlett.

Thinking that Scarlett Yates is now a married woman, yet mingling ambiguously with his brother, Hayes furrowed his brow into a knot and angrily called after him, "Knox, regardless of what quarrel is between Scarlett Yates and Matthew, it’s for them to resolve. What are you, an outsider, meddling for? Aren’t you causing enough trouble for yourself?"

Knox pretended not to hear him, "Brother, that woman is named... Stella Nelson, right?"

Behind him, Hayes froze, wanting to block his way.

Knox chuckled, continuing with his back turned, "You just manage yourself well. Don’t bother worrying about my matters. You see, you’ve done inappropriate things, but I didn’t stop you from continuing to see that woman. Speaking of which, you’re already an engaged man but still entangled with another woman. How are you any better?"

"Judge yourself before judging others. If you want to teach me, solve your own issues first."

"I’m off, see you later, don’t miss me too much." Knox had already walked far, turned a corner, and could leave the living room. He waved his hand behind him towards Hayes as a goodbye.

Hayes stood rooted to the spot, not moving, as Knox’s few words rendered him speechless. ℯ

Judge yourself before judging others...

Thinking of him and Stella, Knox’s brow furrowed deeply, his eyes showing deep sorrow.

If he were sensible enough, he should have parted ways with Stella earlier; the longer the entanglement, the more harmful it is to her.

Once discovered by the Simmons or Hughes Family, it would be detrimental to her.

He always believed he could let go gracefully, but now, he found himself indecisive.
