"It's just a failure. With your capability, whether it’s in law or finance, it won’t be a problem for you to come back to Melbourne and become a big shot."
"That's not it." Shaun popped a bottle of beer and chugged it, his eyes red again.
Chase was startled. "What's up with you?"
He had known Shaun for more than ten years, but this was his first time seeing Shaun cry. It was as if he saw a ghost.
"You don’t understand. I lost the most important thing in my life.” Shaun looked up and said bitterly, "Chase, can you tell me about my past with Catherine? I want t o know how we met, got closer, and fell in love with each other."
"Sure. Three years ago, you just came to Melbourne..." Although Chase was confused as to why he suddenly wanted to hear about Catherine, he still talked about it.
He talked until Shaun fell asleep, drunk.
He could not help but call Rodney. "Are you guys even brothers? You guys should accompany Shaun more since such a big thing happened to him. Look, now he's here in Melbourne drinking his sorrows away." "Shaun is in Melbourne?" Rodney became upset. He
only found out in the morning that Thomas instigated Young Master Kelly to beat up Shaun. He was currently looking for Thomas all over Canberra.
"Yes." Chase sighed. "Rodney, I understand that you fought with Shaun because of Sarah, but you've known each other for more than ten years. You guys are always there for each other whenever one of you is in trouble, no? Hasn't that happened to you before too?"
"Chase, what do you take me for? Yes, I thought that Shaun was too cold-blooded before. But after something so big happened to him, I can still distinguish the seriousness of the matter. I'm not a fair -weather friend."
