"How is it not the same?" Sean was chasing a dead end and made mean, sarcastic comments. "Joshua surely won't give his blessings if you end up with another man. If he can’t do it, then why is he acting like an adult to lecture me like this?"
The living room was silent again.
Joshua curled up his lips and looked at Sean's reddened eyes. "Did I say I'd give up?
He slowly walked toward Sean with a strong aura, one that was very suffocating." Sean, it's not wrong for you to want to love and protect a woman—it's what every man thinks of. To protect and love the chosen woman, however, you have to be a formidable contender against your love rivals.
"If Luna is with another man, I'd compare myself with that man. If he truly is a better man than me and treats her better than me, I'd choose to let her go."
It was then Joshua turned to look at Luna endearingly, solemnly. "After she left me, there were other men around her, but none of them could give her the happiness she wanted, so I didn't give up and chased after her. I only wanted her to be happy.
"If others couldn't give it to her, I'd give it to her, no questions asked."
Finally, he looked back at Sean. "Ask yourself: what's your advantage when you compare yourself to Jim? Are you sure that Bonnie will be happier with you than with Jim?"
This instantly calmed Sean, though he did not respond. He gazed at Joshua and started to reminisce about the memory he spent together with Bonnie. Every minute and second she was with him, Bonnie was not happy.
'Her heart is always with Jim, even though Jim had hurt her.'
Sean closed his eyes. Could he truly give Bonnie the happiness she wanted? He was unsure of it himself. All he thought of was giving his all to protect and give Bonnie a better life.
What would happen if Bonnie truly chose to be with him? He did not have power nor was he capable like Jim. He was just a mechanic, and Bonnie was the heiress of the Craig family, having Craig Group to support her.
Sean...truly could not offer Bonnie anything. The light in his eyes gradually dimmed, =a*; UMY> Luna felt sorrow as she looked at how depressed Sean looked. She bit her lip and wanted to bring comfort to him, but Joshua stopped her.
Joshua shook his head silently at Luna and looked at Sean. "I think you have your answer. As for the thing about Bonnie never promising to marry Jim..."
Before Joshua could finish his sentence, a voice from upstairs interjected him.
"Daddy!" Nellie, wearing a fancy-looking dress, stormed downstairs. "Nigel finally unlocked Uncle Jim's laptop, and you were right. There is a video where he proposed to Aunt Bonnie, and Aunt Bonnie said yes!"
