Moreover, he would rather hope that Sydney could be happy than wish that she could break up.
‘It is Julien, not I, who can bring Sydney happiness.
‘Even if I hate Julien a lot, I still want to put in a good word for him.
‘Well, I am such a great and selfless man.’
Luke thought bitterly to himself, but he had to deliberately praise himself.
Only in this way could he slightly alleviate his bitterness and helplessness.
Sydney didn't know what Luke was thinking about. After listening to his guess and his analysis of Julien, she considered it possible.
Julien’s emotions were not stable.
He was detached sometimes while he got angry easily sometimes.
Perhaps she overthought it.
At the thought of it, Sydney felt relieved and smiled at Luke. "Thank you for your comfort. I feel less worried now."
"That's good." Luke nodded and then added, "It's best if there's nothing between you and Julien. If something wrong happens, don't hide it and blame yourself. As long as he treats you badly, you must tell me, and I’ll help you punish him at the cost of anything.”
When he said this, his expression was extremely firm and serious.
There was a lump in Sydney’s throat, as she felt touched. "Okay, thank you, Luke."
"It's all right" Since the green light appeared, Luke looked ahead and restarted the car. While looking at the road ahead and driving, he uttered, "As you regard my parents as your parents, naturally, I’m your elder brother. As your elder brother, I have to protect you all the time and care about you. This is my responsibility. So, you don't have to thank me. This is what I should do for you."
No one knew how bitter Luke was the moment he admitted that he was her elder brother.
If possible, no one wanted to be the brother of the person he loved.
But Luke could only be Sydney’s elder brother.
Only by becoming her elder brother could he get closer to her without being rejected.
Sydney didn't see the loneliness and sorrow in Luke’s eyes because he was staring at the road ahead. She was moved by his words and answered with slightly red eyes, “I’m very lucky to have a brother like you.” “
"Is that so? Well, I’m delighted as long as you are happy." Luke nodded.
He hoped that she could be happy, so he chose to quit pursuing her.
He didn't mind being his brother as long as she was happy.
His hope came true.
He should be content since he could protect her as her elder brother.
While talking, they arrived at the appointed place where they would meet Chaim Houston, the bank president. It was a private room in a restaurant.
When a waiter led Sydney and Luke to the room, Chaim had already been waiting for them. He had even ordered drinks.
When seeing Chaim, both Sydney and Luke were taken aback, neither of whom had expected that Chaim would arrive before them.
They had thought they would arrive in advance.
Unexpectedly, Chaim arrived earlier than them, at which Sydney felt somewhat embarrassed.
After all, Sydney was the one asking Chaim for help. But Chaim reached the restaurant prior to her.
