Chapter 839 oh..yes! (2) (page 12)

new York.

night~

Manhattan, top floor of the Blue Crystal Hotel.

Giles Norton Morgan, who had been busy all day, threw his coat on the sofa, sat down weakly and looked up at the ceiling, his mind going blank.

Pine, who followed him in, slowly walked to sit opposite him, untied the tie that bound his neck, took a deep breath, and whispered.

"Hey, Giles~"

"I want to quit all my current jobs!"

"...What?" After Giles heard this, he reacted more than ten seconds later and looked at Pine in surprise and asked.

"What are you going to do?"

"I want to resign." Pine repeated in a calm and powerful voice.

"You just said...that you want to quit all your current jobs?"

"Yes!"

"Why?"

"What's wrong Pine?"

"Can you tell me?"

Pine sat up straight and looked directly at Giles, pursed his lips silently, until Giles was about to ask again, then he opened his arms and leaned back on the sofa, put aside all worries, and spoke frankly.

"For the sake of Laura and Lilith, I took David from New York for the first time to your home in Boston..."

"I already had a very vague premonition in my mind!"

"I was chatting with David in the car, and I can still remember the words he said very clearly."

"After he met and talked with your parents that night, when I was lying on the bed trying to fall asleep, I couldn't sleep..."

"What were you talking about in the car?" Giles looked at Pine, who was once very familiar to him, and suddenly felt a little strange to him.

"We... chatted a lot!"

"But those are not reasons or excuses for me to make a decision..."

Pine adjusted his sitting posture and felt as if all the pressure accumulated in his heart had disappeared. He shook his head and chuckled in a relaxed tone.

"Since the moment we met David at the cocktail party, I have been secretly conducting various investigations on him!"

"Including his family, girlfriend, friends, neighbors, classmates, teachers, etc.~"

"It also includes the waiters, streetwalkers, drinkers, police officers, bookstore owners, deli owners, down-and-out movie directors, alcohol suppliers, etc. that he met while working as a bartender at the Wildfire Bar after graduating from high school."

"And Malkin Sidrich Jr., the actual owner of the Wildfire Bar, and all of the Sidrich family!"

"I spent more than half a year and more than 100,000 yuan to personally meet all the people who had come into contact with David, talked to them about all topics related to David, and recorded and handed over the key points. Gave it to your father..."

Pine looked at Giles, who didn't show a particularly surprised expression on his face, turned his eyes to a watercolor painting on the far wall, and let out a long breath.

"On the day Elder and Grace got married, you were as happy as a child~"

"We know, your parents know, and Elder and Grace also know in their hearts that the person they really love is not each other..."

"But they still got married!"

"Do you know why?"

Giles' mouth opened, and he didn't know how to answer the question raised by Pine. He lowered his head and was speechless.

Pine, who had been by Giles' side and watched him grow up, did not let him wait too long and continued.

"The priest who presided over the wedding of the two of them once told me during a casual conversation~"

"Life is an ordinary but extraordinary experience."

"Miracles that belong to ordinary people are not ostentatious..."

"But they can always shine brightly in ordinary life~"

"Everyone deserves to be loved and respected."

"And those sincere people with good intentions can often convey a powerful spiritual power that constantly affects the people around them!"

"If you can meet this person, congratulations~"

"You're lucky!"

Pine didn't know what he thought of when he said this, with a smile on his lips, but his voice became even more "strange" to Giles. .

"Elder and Grace are divorced."

"Their marriage is like a classic Broadway play..."

"Although the ending of this scene makes people feel sad...but before the final ending, who can know whether they can find their own happiness?"

Giles frowned and subconsciously crossed his arms in front of his chest, gently pinched his lower lip with his fingers, looked at Pine and asked.

"It's because their mother wanted them to be together that they got married...right?"

"That's right~" Pine did not give a definite answer and looked at Giles quietly.

"You are not satisfied with the blind dates your mother introduced to you..."

"Then she wants Lilith to be with you...right?"

"..Yes."

"She did have this thought and mentioned it to me."

"You refused?"

"Ok!"

"Where's Lilith?"

"Did she ask Lilith?"

"Of course!"

"So she hopes Lilith can marry Karl?"

Pine's smile slowly faded when he heard Giles mention Lilith's blind date, Carl J. Mellon.

After Giles pinched his lower lip and remained silent for a few minutes, he suddenly showed a slightly self-deprecating wry smile and said to himself.

"The night David wanted to express his love to Lilith in a flash mob on Wall Street... I watched Laura lying on his back and crying silently, and there was always an indescribable feeling of depression and self-blame in my heart..."

"At that time, I only knew why it came, but I couldn't tell what I should do to get rid of it."

"That's why I ask you to fully support David's thoughts and actions, so that he can get in front of Laura and express his love to Lilith with the most passionate actions on Wall Street."

"It wasn't until one day later that I mentioned it and how I felt at the time to Bloomer, and he told me..."

"That feeling, it's called responsibility!"

"This is something I have never experienced from my brother Panaris...the responsibility of being an elder brother!"

"But it keeps appearing in you and silently affects me!"

The "knot" on Giles' brow was untangled, his eyes became clear and sincere, he looked at Pine and smiled.

“Freedom means being able to choose the lifestyle and life path you like.”

"I know my mother Nariya is very controlling and I hope we can all follow her wishes..."

"But I think the love between us has gone beyond ordinary brotherhood!"

"I have never wanted to control you or take advantage of you, let alone force you to do something you don't like."

"I hope we can stay like this for the rest of our lives... a relationship that is closer than the love between brothers!"
