Chapter 278: Second Brother, Will You Still Protect Me?
Dawn Sutherland heard their conversation and hesitated slightly. Of course, he wanted to help her, but this was a public place. If someone were to write something haphazardly, how would she think? What would Aidan Sutherland think? And what about the Sutherland Family?She was the sister-in-law he was about to marry into the family.....
Dawn stood in place, his deep eyes unmoving.
Arlo Seys glanced at him lightly, "She’s called you second brother for so many years. It’s only natural for you to help her out."
The implication was, don’t overthink it. Just treat her like your sister, and you should go up and help her out.
—
"Hey, beauty, are you here alone? Got a male companion? If not, consider me."
"With your ugly face, better put on a mask first, don’t scare her."
"Miss, may I know your last name? I’m Zhao. May I have the honor of walking the red carpet with you?"
"Beauty, come with me tonight, and I’ll give you a plot of land in the north of the city as a gift."
"My family has a priceless jade necklace. Want to check it out?"
"..."
Daisy Grant was surrounded tightly, her delicate brows furrowed, unsure of what to do.
In the past, Aidan Sutherland accompanied her at events, and these wealthy young men wouldn’t dare to make such bold invitations. But now that Aidan wasn’t here, how could she refuse?
"Daisy."
As Daisy Grant was worrying, a familiar, warm, and pleasant voice sounded in her ear, ɪꜰ ʏᴏᴜ ᴡᴀɴᴛ ᴛᴏ ʀᴇᴀᴅ ᴍᴏʀᴇ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀs, ᴘʟᴇᴀsᴇ ᴠɪsɪᴛ ????????????????????✦????????????????✦????????????
Daisy’s heart trembled slightly. She looked towards the crowd. Suddenly, her eyes brightened, finding that elegant figure. She joyfully parted her lips and called out, "Second brother."
Everyone looked in the direction Daisy Grant was gazing.
Dawn Sutherland walked towards Daisy step by step. His pace was leisurely, graceful, and calm. His agate-like eyes radiated heartwarming gentleness, his lips curving into a faint smile, as warm as the wind.
"Daisy, want to walk the red carpet together?" Dawn flashed a gentle smile at Daisy Grant.
Daisy’s lips curled into a soft smile, her voice containing uncontainable joy, her laughter sincere and delightful, "Thank you for the invitation, second brother."
Dawn smiled, bowing slightly in a gentlemanly manner, extending his hand towards her.
Daisy Grant smiled tenderly, placing her hand in his palm, a blush rising on her face.
Their fingertips touched, and both shivered slightly, then they smiled at each other and headed toward the red carpet.
Dawn placed Daisy Grant’s hand on his arm, and they walked across the red carpet step by step.
"Second brother, thank you for helping me out," Daisy whispered, smiling at Dawn.
Dawn shook his head, smiling lightly, "No need to be so polite with me. I am your second brother."
Daisy’s eyes lowered slightly, "Second brother, can you protect me like when we were kids? I don’t want things to become distant between us. Second brother, after being abroad for five years, I found... that second brother, do you dislike me clinging to you? Or do you find me annoying?"
"Why would you think that?" Dawn pursed his lips, "Daisy, I will never find you annoying."
He wished they had more intersections, wished she would follow behind him like she did when they were young, sweetly calling him ’second brother.’
"Then... second brother, will you still protect me? You always protected me when I was little." Daisy’s voice was somewhat low.
Dawn smiled faintly, his eyes shadowed, "Daisy, now you have Aidan to protect you. You don’t need the second brother anymore. Aidan... Aidan will protect you for a lifetime."
She was Aidan’s future wife. To protect her, he had no right.
Daisy’s heart ached painfully, clenching her fingers tightly, she looked up and gave Dawn a soft smile, striving to maintain composure and tranquility on her face, "I understand, second brother."
Second brother will no longer protect her. They were truly strangers after five years apart.

Nico Haynes was today’s birthday star, always favored by women, and surrounded by actresses from the entertainment industry.
Meanwhile, Arlo Seys and Dawn Sutherland were tied up with business partners in socializing.
Ariel Morris, Nicole, and Daisy Grant hid in a room next to the banquet hall, happily chatting when Valeria Johnson and seven or eight glamorously dressed women walked in.
