Wayne had heard Erica's name once or twice from Rosalynn.
"What happened to her?" Wayne asked.
Jacob ran his fingers through his hair: "She's a real looker, sexy figure, big expressive eyes. We loved each other fiercely when we were young, but also, we broke up just as passionately because we were young."
Wayne went quiet, but Jacob didn't mind.
"Wayne, I'm actually quite envious of you. After all you've been through, you ended up marrying the woman you love, raising your kids together, living happily as a family," Jacob paused, a lump in his throat, "I want that too."
"If you want it, why not go for it? Is it that hard?" Wayne asked.
Jacob looked at him, then burst out laughing: "You've lost your memory so your thinking has become purer. If it were the old you, you wouldn't tell me to go after it. You'd tell me to weigh the pros and cons."
"You can weigh the pros and cons too," Wayne responded.
"From what I see now, there are only cons, no pros for Erica."
Jacob and Wayne were different.
The Strand family had always been close-knit.
He couldn't completely cut ties with his family for Erica after marriage.
But if he kept in contact, given his family's prejudice against Erica, she would suffer a lot.
Wayne thought for a while.
"Have you asked Erica what she thinks?"
Jacob was silent for a moment, then shook his head: "We never officially got back together after breaking up when we were young. During the time you were in trouble, my mom had a huge argument with her."
Jacob paused, his expression growing fretful: "My mom was wrong, but Erica was no pushover. She kept yelling at my mom, so I blew up at her..."
Wayne furrowed his brows.
"Then she left and hasn't come back since."
"Maybe... you should let her go." Wayne thought for a moment, he tried to phrase it more delicately, but it came out blunt.
