Please Come Back, We Are Waiting

"We won't allow you to sell them. Go and take down the links now." With that, the two of them were ready to contact the buyers.

Seeing this, Nathan knew that with their stubborn personalities, they wouldn’t listen to him.

At the same time, he couldn’t help but feel speechless. If he didn’t care anymore, why keep the gifts?

Finally, he spoke up, "Why don’t you just buy me new ones? After all, doesn’t Willy not have any of these either?"

Olive hesitated for a moment, a flash of surprise crossing her eyes.

After all, in the past, Nathan had never allowed them to buy anything for Willy. Now, he was suggesting sharing with Willy.

Olive was very pleased, her voice filled with excitement, "So you're willing to accept Willy now?"

Seeing her like this, Nathan knew she had already forgotten about what happened earlier, so he gave a sarcastic nod.

But then, Seraphine asked with a strange look on her face, "Nathan, is there something you're hiding from us?"

She couldn’t shake the feeling that Nathan had changed.

Maybe it was just her imagination, but Nathan’s gaze always seemed cold and distant, as if he were about to leave at any moment.

This feeling filled her with fear and anxiety.

"How could that be? From childhood to now, I’ve never lied to you. I’ve just realized that he and I are brothers and it's only right for me to be kind to him. Don’t you think so?"

Olive answered without hesitation, "Of course!"

She then said a few words to Seraphine, who finally felt relieved. Maybe she had been overthinking it. Nathan really did want to accept Willy. Such a life wasn’t so bad after all.

"Alright, I’ll continue packing. We’ll buy new ones later."

This time, neither of them argued further.

Everything was sold for 700 thousand dollars. This money was enough for Nathan to live without worries for the rest of his life.

He deactivated his social media accounts and took the money to a law firm. There, he met Zephyr, Seraphine's half-brother, to help him return the money the Sharlow Family had spent on him over the years.

"You’re leaving Hepiron?" Zephyr was surprised when he found out from the message Nathan sent him.

Nathan had only told him, as Zephyr was his closest friend.

He had witnessed firsthand how Nathan and those two women had come to this point. Like Nathan, he had also watched as their affection for Willy grew stronger.

Nathan didn’t respond. Instead, he silently downed his drink, letting the bitterness spread across his tongue.

Seeing him like this, Zephyr felt uneasy. “I always thought you’d end up with either my sister or Olive. I never expected you to leave.”

What other choice did he have? The Sharlow Family had never been his home, nor had Olive or Seraphine.

He was just an outsider who had taken someone else’s place. Sooner or later, he had to leave.

Zephyr sighed in frustration. “You were so close to them, but ever since Willy showed up, it’s like he put a spell on my sister and Olive. How did they all suddenly start treating him so well? You were the one who…”

Before he could finish, Nathan shoved a glass of liquor into his hand, cutting him off.

“It’s all in the past,” Nathan said flatly. “Besides, I’m leaving soon.”

Just as his words fell, the door swung open and Willy appeared.

“Nathan, where are you going?” he asked with a bright smile. “Are you going on a trip? How about I come with you?”

Without waiting for an answer, he casually took a seat beside Nathan, as if they were the best of friends.

Nathan said nothing, choosing to ignore the blatant provocation.

But Zephyr had a fiery temper. He slammed the table hard and roared, “Get lost! Who the hell do you think you are? You really think you deserve to be here?”
