Chapter 358: The Mysterious Power Behind!
Daisy Grant just wiped away her tears and, upon hearing Dawn Sutherland’s gentle voice, broke down, unable to control the increasingly overwhelming torrent."Second Brother." Daisy called with a sob.
"Second Brother, what should I do? Second Brother, I don’t want an arranged marriage, I don’t want to marry Aidan Sutherland."
Daisy cried out loud.
"Others can choose their own marriage, why can’t I? Others have the courage to pursue their happiness, but I can’t even speak up, Second Brother, I feel awful."
Her helplessness and tears stirred deep pity in Dawn Sutherland’s heart. He pulled out a few tissues, reached out to wipe her tears, and gently comforted her: "Daisy, don’t cry."
If you cry, my heart will ache, but I can’t say that.
His soothing voice, gentle comfort, his eyes filled with soft starlight, made Daisy look at him, and momentarily lose control, directly hugging his neck tightly.
This embrace is something she always wanted to rely on, yet it was also beyond her hopes.
Daisy hugged Dawn, crying uncontrollably, whispering in his ear, "Second Brother, why don’t you like me? Why? What’s wrong with me? How am I not as good as her? I’ll change, I really can change, Second Brother. Why don’t you like me?"
She had loved him for over ten years, always buried deep in her heart and never voiced. But now, she really wanted to know where she wasn’t good enough, not excellent enough, to lose to that girl who ended his story abruptly.
Dawn’s body stiffened slightly. Daisy’s self-talk and uncontrollable sadness must be about that person in her heart, right? That mark between her brows? Daisy loved him so deeply, and her current crying was also for that person, right?
He loved her, but she held him and cried for another man.
Dawn’s eyes were filled with a dull sadness, as he reached out to stroke Daisy’s beautiful hair, softly comforting her: "How could Daisy not be good? Daisy is very good and excellent, not inferior to anyone."
In his heart, no one could surpass her.
Daisy’s body trembled violently. No matter how good and excellent she was, she couldn’t surpass the white moonlight in his heart.
Daisy only felt exhausted, with a bittersweet smile, "Second Brother, I want to sleep for a while, can you not take me home yet?"
The fragrance in the embrace suddenly leaving, Dawn’s fingers felt a bit stiff, but his face remained gentle as usual, "Alright, sleep."
Daisy closed her eyes, inhaling the air filled with his scent in the car, gradually calming her emotions, and slowly fell asleep with her eyes closed.
Daisy’s sleep was very light, which Dawn knew. Seeing her breathing turn even, he felt much more at ease, sitting silently in the driver’s seat watching her serene sleeping face, with starlight flowing in his eyes.
-
Late at night.
A villa in Royal View City.
Ariel Morris had already fallen soundly asleep when Arlo Seys’s phone suddenly vibrated. Picking up the phone and seeing Callan Walkers calling, he immediately grasped the phone and went to the balcony, afraid to disturb the person in bed.
Arriving at the balcony, Arlo pressed the call button, and as soon as the call connected, Callan’s anxious voice came through.
"Boss! There’s been a change in Morris Clan’s situation! Since yesterday, a mysterious force directly invested in Morris Clan, stabilizing the situation. It’s becoming more difficult for us to take down Morris Clan now."
Arlo’s gaze was deep, "Another force?"
"Yes! And the force that was originally determined to seize Morris Clan seems to have suddenly stopped without any movement! However, since yesterday, Morris Clan’s situation has suddenly improved! Boss, you said not to transfer funds to Morris Clan, so where did their funds come from? Who would come to rescue Morris Clan at this time?"
