Keith Donovan couldn’t hold back any longer.
He pushed the door open and glared at James Grant.
James Grant frowned slightly.
But before he could speak, Keith Donovan began firing back, "Have you lost your mind? Did the Aethelburg breeze turn you into an idiot?"
Seeing James Grant silent, Keith Donovan grew even angrier and shouted, "Just say it, is it because of Evelyn Clayton!"
James Grant glanced at Keith Donovan, his attitude very calm, "Yes."
Seeing him so straightforward in admitting it, Keith Donovan was both angry and amused, "You’re really honest, huh? You’re not even pretending with me, are you?"
"No need, why pretend?" James Grant retorted, "I want to stay here until she is willing to forgive me, willing to—"
Return to his side again.
But James Grant kept this last part in his heart.
Because even James Grant himself couldn’t be sure, even if Evelyn Clayton truly forgave him, whether she would be willing to be with him again.
After all, those are two different things.
Keith Donovan was almost driven insane, but faced with James Grant’s calmness, he knew that losing his mind would be of no use.
He took deep breaths, calming his raging mood, and said word by word, "James, we’ve been brothers for so many years, have I ever hurt you? When have I not given my all for the tasks you entrusted to me?"
James Grant’s expression was indifferent, "I know, and I’m very grateful to you."
Keith Donovan was vaguely frustrated, "I’m not asking for your gratitude! I’m asking you to be sensible! You want to win Evelyn Clayton back, fine! But that doesn’t mean you have to stay here, devote all your time and effort solely to win her favor, does it?"
James Grant seemed to be in a daze for a moment, and after a while, he slowly said, "If my time and effort can bring her back, I would gladly do it."
Keith Donovan’s expression was as if struck by lightning.
It was like he had taken a huge hit, stunned and unable to speak for a while.
After a long time, Keith Donovan laughed out of anger.
"Alright, alright." Keith Donovan waved his hand, "You defeated me. Your love is truly great, fine."
Saying that, Keith Donovan stood up to leave.
At this moment, James Grant suddenly spoke from behind—
"Hey Keith, do you know why you’ve never been able to win Lynn Yates over?"
Keith Donovan suddenly stopped in his tracks and turned back with an unfathomable expression, looking at James Grant, "What did you say?"
James Grant’s expression remained indifferent, leisurely watching Keith Donovan.
After a long time, Keith Donovan’s eyes grew complex.
Seeing this, James Grant continued, "It’s because you’ve never truly loved someone."
Keith Donovan acted as if he had heard the greatest joke.
"So, is that why I’ve committed some grave crime?"
James Grant lowered his gaze and spoke indifferently, "Of course not. I haven’t finished—what I mean is, you never truly love others, but you hope that others love you sincerely. How can there be such easy things in the world? Making sure you succeed every time?"
Keith Donovan couldn’t help but think of Lynn Yates.
To be honest, Lynn Yates is the favorite person he’s met so far in his life of meeting and loving one after another.
It’s funny to say, but Keith Donovan felt that he really put a lot of effort into pursuing Lynn Yates, using all the "invincible" tricks he had used to chase other girls on her.
But the effect was minimal.
Keith Donovan always thought it was Lynn Yates’ high standards.
Even thought maybe Lynn Yates looked down on his background and ability. Follow current novels on novel(ꜰ)ire.net
But he never thought it could be the possibility James Grant mentioned.
