Chapter 329: Her 8 Years in Dublin! [3]
Ariel, I promised that as long as you’re happy, I would quietly watch and never disturb. Since you love Arlo Seys so deeply, let me say some things on your behalf.Langdon Seal took a long look at Ariel Morris’s face, eyes filled with longing. With a bitter smile, he turned and left the room.
Langdon Seal, you are the most peculiar rival in love in the world! You voluntarily step back, trying to find ways to reconcile Ariel with Arlo Seys. Aren’t you a fool?
Bitterness and heartache welled up in Langdon Seal’s heart.
He only wanted Ariel to be happy, even if the one giving her happiness wasn’t him. He was willing to bless her and watch her happiness from afar.
-
Langdon Seal sent a message to Arlo Seys as soon as he left the hotel.
His provocation worked as expected. Within five minutes of sitting down at the meeting place with Arlo Seys, Arlo appeared before him.
"Sit," Langdon Seal said coolly to Arlo Seys while holding his coffee.
Arlo Seys sat down, staring at Langdon Seal. Seeing his clothes neat and tidy, he breathed a sigh of relief, though his eyes remained cold.
Langdon Seal took a sip of coffee; it was bitter, just like the unbearable bitterness in his heart now.
Arlo Seys watched him leisurely sipping coffee, a sharp glint flashing in his eyes as he glanced at Langdon Seal. He spoke, "I want to know the truth about her suicide eight years ago! And about everything that happened to her in Dublin! She told me she had seen a psychologist before!"
Langdon Seal gave Arlo Seys a quick, mocking glance, "Asking now, are you? Arlo Seys, if it weren’t for Ariel, I wouldn’t be speaking to you today! Do you know how deep the pain you caused Ariel is?"
Arlo Seys was silent for a moment, then spoke in a low voice, "What was the reason Ariel Morris went abroad to commit suicide eight years ago? Was it because her parents forced her to marry me, and she didn’t want to, so....."
Langdon Seal sneered, "Ariel wanted most to marry you! Yet you doubt her love for you! Arlo Seys, do you know how heartbreaking it was to see Ariel drinking and talking to herself in tears today? Arlo Seys, if the person Ariel loved were me, I wouldn’t let her shed a single tear! I would cherish her dearly! But Arlo Seys, she loves you! No matter the pain you cause, she will always love you!"
"Just like eight years ago, at the Dublin airport, when I saved her. She loves you so deeply, why do you hurt her?!"
Looking out the window, Langdon Seal recalled the events over the past eight years in Dublin, narrating them calmly to Arlo Seys.
"That night, I had just returned to Dublin, waiting for the driver outside the airport. I saw a girl dragging a suitcase, holding a potted plant, standing on the roadside with vacant eyes trying to hail a cab."
"The reason I noticed her was that her left wrist was wrapped in thick bandages, with a large patch of bright red blood seeping through it."
"The roads were slippery from deep snow, and she nearly fell as she lifted her suitcase. In steadying herself, she probably pulled at her wound, and bright red blood flowed down her pale wrist."
"The white snow was stained by the continuous drops of red blood, such a startling sight. Yet the girl seemed unaware, standing on the roadside with vacant eyes trying to hail a cab."
"I couldn’t help but walk over to see if she needed help, but as soon as I approached, she collapsed."
"I quickly reached out to support her body but was too late to catch her belongings. Her weak voice sounded, left one last sentence, and then she fainted."
