Brantlee was a man worth cherishing.
The men she liked had never been like Brantlee. Instead, the type of men she'd liked were all like Matthew. Handsome, tolerant, knowledgeable, and capable.
Those types of men were at the very top of the pyramid, possessing charisma to make people fall head over heels.
However, Brantlee wasn't like that.
Brantlee was ordinary and had no charisma. He was not too smart. He'd even thought that he would die if he donated his bone marrow.
But this man treated her wholeheartedly.
Just like what Aunt Mary said, Brantlee took after his father.
Brantlee's father was also an honest man. He had never been quite capable, but he had been devoted to Aunt Mary.
When Brantlee's father was still alive, Mary had disliked him in every way.
Despite this, Brantlee's father had still doted on her for a lifetand loved her for a lifetime.
It wasn't until Brantlee's father had died that Aunt Mary had realized that the man who treated her best in the world was already gone.
The next day soon arrived.
Matthew was about to leave.
Matthew went to Saoirse's bedroom to say goodbye, but he realized that Saoirse was not in the bedroom.
He knew that Saoirse must be at Mary's house.
When he was about to go to Mary's house, he suddenly saw Saoirse and Brantlee walking in.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtMatthew's gaze froze.
He saw that the two of them were walking hand in hand.
Saoirse looked fine, but Brantlee's face was completely flushed.
Matthew's eyes lit up as he smiled.
He knew that now, he could leave without any worries.
He strode over.
He said gently with a smile, "Saoirse, Brantlee, congratulations." Brantlee turned his head around, and even his neck was red. Saoirse subtly smiled. "Thank you." "I'm leaving soon. Take good care of yourselves," Matthew said.
Saoirse's beautiful blue eyes were a bit dim. "You're leaving?" "Yes." After a moment of hesitation, she opened her mouth as if she had made an important decision. "William, I have something to tell you." "Go ahead." Saoirse let go of Brantlee's hand. "Brantlee, can you go inside and wait for me?" Brantlee definitely listened to Saoirse, so he didn't hesitate and walked in.
Soon after, he disappeared.
"Saoirse, Brantlee is a good man. You will be happy if you stay with him. He will treat you well," Matthew smiled. Saoirse nodded. "I understand, William, but that's not what I'm going to tell you." "Say whatever you need to." "William, when you were injured many years ago and I saved you, do you remember the promise you made to my father to marry me?" Saoirse looked at Matthew. Matthew's breathing cto a halt.
A surge of emotion could be seen in his deep eyes, but he lowered his voice. "Saoirse, it's my fault." Saoirse heard the guilt in Matthew's tone.
She shook her head, "You don't have to feel guilty for me." "Saoirse, I owe you. If I hadn't said that I would marry you at that time, you wouldn't have waited so many years for me." Matthew's voice was a little hoarse. Saoirse laughed.
For sreason, that laugh was inexplicably awkward.
"William, you're wrong." She looked straight into Matthew's eyes. "You've always been wrong. Now, I'm telling you the reason why you told my father that you wanted to marryback then." Matthew looked stunned.
He was keen, and he knew that Saoirse was hiding something just by what she had said.
He looked at her hard.
Mist shrouded Saoirse's eyes, and her voice becas quiet and tentative as the expression in her eyes. "William, I didn't know about this until I was diagnosed with acute leukaemia. At that time, Liselle had drugged you. That drug contained hallucinogens, and that was why you said to my father that you wanted to marry me." The astonishment in Matthew's eyes deepened, and it instantly filled his eyes.
Smemories flashed through his mind.
Back then, he had promised to marry Saoirse because he had mistaken her for Selina.
It turned out that it was not his mistake, but the effect of the hallucinogens.
After saying this, Saoirse stopped talking. She lowered her head as if she was waiting for Matthew's judgement.
She could have kept this from him.
However, in the end, she still told him.
After a long time, the astonishment in Matthew's eyes finally disappeared, and his eyes becclear again.
"I understand, Saoirse," He said.
His voice was faint, and no emotion could be felt from it.
Saoirse suddenly looked up at Matthew.
She thought that he would blher, but he didn't. Matthew didn't blher at all.
Deep in Saoirse's heart, she didn't feel good.
If Matthew had blamed her, she would feel better instead.
But he didn't say anything...
Saoirse opened her mouth and said, "William, why don't you blme for that?" "Why should I blyou?" William looked at Saoirse. "Liselle was the one who did it." "But I already knew the truth back then. It's only now that I chose to tell you, William." Matthew couldn't help but smile, seeming a little relieved.
He looked at Şaoirse and said, "Saoirse, I will never forget that it was you who savedwhen I was seriously injured. You took care offor half a year. Although I don't have feelings for you, it does not mean that I will forget your kindness tome. Saoirse, all that kindness you gavewas enough to offset it." Saoirse's breathing instantly cto a halt.
She looked at Matthew, her beautiful blue eyes full of emotions.

At this moment, she suddenly e.
understood why she had loved this man for so many years. Even though he disappeared at that twithout a trace she still couldn't forget him and even went to find him after eight years. It's just that...
Saoirse felt her heart ache.
This man did not belong to her.
"I'm leaving now, Saoirse. Everything is in the past. Don't think too much about it," Matthew said.
Saoirse nodded hard. "William, I'll send you off."
"There's no need for that. You should accompany Brantlee-. The past is in the past Now, you must treasure the présent," Matthew said wittily. Saoirse stopped at her tracks.
She nodded her head bitterly.
Matthew then walked out.
After he had left for quite stime, Saoirse suddenly cto her senses and ran out.
However, Matthew was already long gone.
She leaned against the door absent-mindedly.
Suddenly, a strong wind blew past.
The strong gust of wind blew up the leaves on the road.
After a long time, the wind stopped, but the leaves that had been swept up just now was already nowhere to be seen. Saoirse's body trembled.
She finally went back into the house.
Brantlee was sitting in the courtyard.
When he saw thatSaoirse had cback, he stood up.
He had a demure smile. "Saoirse." Saoirse nodded. "Brantlee, thank you for helpingto put on an act just now." Brantlee's face turned red. "No problem. There's nothing to thankfor." He paused and said, "Why were you acting in front of him?"
