Chapter 530: What a Coincidence, Sis

Adrian Law typically doesn’t like to speak in platitudes, and his heartfelt words to Wyatt Law were not spoken for the sake of Wyatt’s mother.

In fact, seeing Wyatt so trapped in the past and unable to extricate himself, Adrian also felt deeply hurt for him.

Spending a lifetime mourning someone who is already gone is, after all, too cruel.

Adrian Law doesn’t want to think about what he would do if, one day, his beloved young wife were no longer with him.

He might go crazier than Wyatt.

This is a realm Adrian Law doesn’t even want to try imagining.

He wants Cecilia to live a long life, and he also wants to protect her for a lifetime.

How far will "forever" go, no one knows, but he is willing to cherish the love of his life endlessly, until the end of his days.

...

Wyatt inhaled softly after hearing Adrian’s words.

He tried to smile at his young master, but in the end, his lips were filled with bitterness.

"Young master, you should understand that when someone nearly perfect appears in your life, how could you ever like anyone else afterward? Even just thinking of her figure makes me feel pain that I can’t pull myself out of."

Everyone else is just background scenery to Nancy.

Wherever that girl appears, it is where his gaze follows.

Even when Nancy Law was alive, Wyatt did not dare to think there was any possibility between himself and Nancy; their backgrounds were worlds apart, and Wyatt knew he wasn’t worthy of the fairy-like adorable girl.

Even if Adrian Law allowed him to interact with his sister, Wyatt didn’t dare to show any impropriety; he only dared to be a knight and wanted to forever cherish the princess in his heart.

A person like him is not suited to marry and have children because having one person in his heart would be unfair to another.

...

Adrian Law saw through Wyatt’s thoughts instantly and shook his head.

"Wyatt, no one is perfect. You shouldn’t compare Nancy with any future partners you might have. It’s not fair to anyone; each of them is unique. I know you are a responsible person, if you genuinely fall for a girl, you will naturally protect her with all your heart."

"..."

Wyatt lowered his palm blankly, eventually murmuring with a bitter smile.

"I’m not as good as the young master says."

He was just a coward, even when Nancy Law was alive, he didn’t dare to confess; he only dared to watch her like an elder brother, knowing in his heart that Nancy had no romantic feelings towards him.

Otherwise, when Frank Law asked her to marry into The Stanhope Family, she wouldn’t have been so naive, willingly sacrificing her own marriage just for the sake of smoothing the relationship between her father and mother.

Even later, when Adrian and Susan demanded to call off the engagement in fury, she just naively said she trusted her father’s choice, believing that the young master from The Stanhope Family couldn’t be a bad person and would treat her well.

After all, back then, she was just a high school girl, able to understand what was good or bad?

The young master from The Stanhope Family also happened to have a handsome face and a silver tongue, someone like that could easily deceive a girl inexperienced with the world.

Who would have thought that it would turn into such an earth-shattering mess later on?

...

Recalling the past, Wyatt felt a deep ache in his heart, an ache he couldn’t halt even by pressing a hand to his chest.

He took a gentle breath.

"Young master, I understand now. If there’s a girl I like, I will try my best."

Adrian Law looked at Wyatt meaningfully.

"Good, I believe in you, young master. I hope you’ll never apply the image of past Nancy to any girl, that’s unfair."

This remark suddenly awakened Wyatt.

He smiled bitterly.

"Alright, young master, I’ll keep it in mind."

Can he truly move towards a brand-new horizon like the young master said?

Wyatt was uncertain.

But at the very least, he finally was willing to take the first step.

...

The next day was the university youth exchange meeting between Veridia and Vesperia, held at Stellerton University. At midnight the previous day, it was announced that besides Mr. Adams, other prominent figures from Vesperia had arrived, such as Ms. Lillian Judy, who was also a guest of honor!

This is an internationally renowned pop singer and also a postdoctoral fellow at a Laurel League school in Vesperia. Although she is nearly semi-retired now, she still has countless fans!

Stellerton University, which has always been bustling, is now more packed than ever.

Luxury cars gathered and everywhere was shoulder to shoulder, so much so that there wasn’t even a place to step.

If it weren’t for the school authorities noticing how many unrelated spectators there were, eventually having to regretfully clear the area.

There was no choice; Stellerton University has always been known for its inclusivity and promotes freedom. As one of the highest educational institutions in Veridia, the school only requires a name and ID registration to enter this century-old university for exchange and visits.

This time, due to the overwhelming crowd, the school finally decided that except for on-campus students and those with invitations, everyone else would have to be asked to leave Stellerton University; students wishing to watch had to follow the seating arrangements set by the school and sit in designated areas, and if they left midway, they couldn’t re-enter.

Sure enough, the number of people wandering around campus was halved in an instant, and students obediently went to secure their seats first.

The school also breathed a sigh of relief, for if any incidents like a stampede occurred on such a significant day, it wouldn’t be a joyous occasion but rather a major scandal.

...

For a moment, the school quieted down significantly, and the red carpet leading to The Pearl Auditorium, which had been trampled into disarray, was now redecorated by the school, looking very much like a high-end banquet.

When Cecilia Vaughn arrived, it was quite late, with only ten minutes left until the opening; she didn’t manage to witness the previous bustling scene, only seeing the campus adorned with fragrant flowers and green plants, with colorful flags fluttering, which made her smile slightly.

"It’s the first time I’ve seen the school place so much importance on an event."

"Naturally, it’s called a university youth exchange, but it’s essentially a competition between nations."

Adrian Law, dressed in a black suit, glanced at Cecilia indifferently, and Cecilia resignedly held her forehead, really not feeling like it was that exaggerated.

But when she looked up and saw several familiar female classmates in heavy makeup, dressed in glamorous evening gowns during the cold winter with their lower garments conspicuously absent, her jaw dropped.

"Is this necessary? It’s just a school exchange event; one might think they were rushing to a debutante contest."

Looking down at her own light blue down jacket and fleece-lined jeans, Cecilia suddenly felt speechless.

Was she being too insensible about formality?

But this is school...

Just as Cecilia was questioning her life choices, she suddenly heard a delighted call from behind her.

"Sister, what a coincidence, shall we go to the auditorium together?"
