"Who is he? What did he do to you?" I asked sharply, but she kept stammering and refused to give mea straight answer. At this moment, Emma noticed something was off between us and walked over.Then, she rested her chin on my shoulder and murmured, "What are you guys talking about?" "Who is he? What did he do to you?" I asked sharply, but she kept stammering and refused to give mea straight answer. At this moment, Emma noticed something was off between us and walked over.Then, she rested her chin on my shoulder and murmured, "What are you guys talking about?"

When Olivia heard Emma's words, she looked uneasy. I didn't want to give her a hard time, so Istopped bothering her about it. Still, I felt highly discomfited about her actions. At that moment, Isuddenly remembered Nicholas.

However, my mind filled with white noise when I thought about Nicholas. I knew I wasn't in the rightmindset to figure things out, so I suppressed my emotional turmoil and said, "It's nothing." Then, Iquickly changed the subject and asked, "Isn't Christopher here yet?"

"How should I know?" Emma said faintly.

After a year, her attitude toward Christopher never changed. I honestly wondered what was going on inher head.

Nonetheless, I patted her head, and she wrapped her arms around my waist, smiling as she said, "Canyou accompany me, Renee? I want to take a look around."

Although Emma was younger than us, she was an attentive person. She probably guessed that

something was off between Olivia and me, so she wanted to separate us before our temper got thebetter of us.

"Okay." I obliged since I knew she only had our best interests in mind.

When we went downstairs, we encountered Christopher, who had just parked his car in front of thehotel. When he saw us, he was stunned.

"Did you guys specifically come here to greet me?"

"You sure are a narcissist, Uncle Christopher," Emma said with a touch of sarcasm.

Christopher didn't take offense to her snarky remark and merely smiled gently.

"We're just taking a walk," I smiled and explained.

"Alright. I'm going to replace Olivia."

Then, he strode into the hotel; his back silhouette was tall and broad. I directed my attention to theyoung girl beside me and said softly, "Christopher is the hope I wished upon when I was young. He wasso outstanding and dreamy. However, he will always be the light I can't get close to…"

At the moment, stars filled the night sky of Goldshore. When Emma heard my faint remark, shewrapped her arms around mine and asked curiously, "Why can't you get close to him?"

I tilted my head and looked at her beautiful and youthful face. "Sometimes light burns. When I got toknow him, he was a light. When it came to Olivia… You probably know about their affairs. He used to

be Olivia's hope. Only you… you didn't fall in love at first sight when you met him as we do, and youdon't admire him. But you're carefree when you're around him. You can still be yourself despite beingaround him."

Emma looked at me solemnly and questioned, " Why are you talking about him out of the blue?"

"Christopher told me that he likes you," I replied frankly.

Emma frowned at my words and asked, "Do you wish for us to be together?"

"No. I just hope that you will give him a chance."

"He treats me like a gentleman, Renee," said Emma.

She was right. Christopher had always been a gentleman.

…

Ever since Christopher had confessed his love to Emma on New Year, he had never brought it upagain since he knew her well. If she were unwilling to accept him, it would be useless for him to keepcourting her. Hence, he decided to take things slow and kept meeting up with her using all kinds ofexcuses. He believed that one day, she would open her heart to him.

However, he couldn't wait forever. After all, he was fourteen years older than her.

"I was not when you were born, and you were old when I was born." This was what Emma had said to

him once.

Christopher thought about their interactions as he walked past the two women, who were bothimportant people in his life, and entered the hotel. When he arrived on the third floor, he saw Oliviawaiting for him. She was also important to him, but she could only be part of his family, and he hadalways treated her like a sister.

Now that Olivia was getting married, he could finally breathe a sigh of relief.

"Olivia." He called out to her.

When Olivia saw him, she smiled and said, "Can we take a walk by the riverbank, Chris?"

There were some words that she wanted to tell him. She wanted to end this unrequited love that lastedfor decades, even if he had never once given her false hope.

"Let's go," said Christopher as he nodded.

When they arrived at the riverbank, they didn't notice a man standing behind a willow tree, letting thechilly wind blow against him.

William watched as the two walked by the riverbank. One of them was his soon-to-be wife, while theother was someone Olivia had never introduced to him, but he knew who the man was.

Of course, he knew who Christopher was. How could he not? After all, he had listened to his concert.William also knew that Christopher, the worldwide international musician, was also Olivia's brother.

He knew that Olivia had two brothers, and they were twins. He had seen one of them when he went toGoldshore to propose to Olivia. Besides, he could easily tell them apart since they had very distincttraits; Christopher looked warm, while Nicholas was intimidating.

As Olivia and Christopher walked by the riverbank, they were getting closer and closer to him. At thatmoment, he felt that Olivia was different from her usual self; she looked meek and restrained.

William pursed his lips at her demeanor. Then, he heard her tense voice, saying, "I'm sorry, Chris. Ididn't mean to inform you about my wedding at the last minute. It's just… I'm sorry. I… I really missyou."

"I used to imagine what you would look like when you are married, Olivia. You would have been a sightglowing with happiness." Christopher's voice was soft as he comforted her.

"I have been chasing after you worldwide for decades, Chris. You missed out on Renee because ofme… I'm sorry. I know that my love is selfish, and I was wrong. To be honest, though, I have alwayswanted to tell you something. I have finally given up on you, Chris. I hope you can replace your truehappiness and hope that you can say the same to me."

When William heard her words, he finally knew Olivia's secret. Still, he wondered if she had found truehappiness now that she was with him.

When he thought about the fact that Olivia had loved Christopher for decades and followed him aroundthe world when the man was uninterested in her, he was heartbroken for her.

"I wish you true happiness, Olivia."

As Christopher spoke, he ruffled Olivia's hair, and the latter was stunned by his actions. "You havenever ruffled my hair ever since I was a legal adult. I have been a burden to you for the past few years,making you uncomfortable and awkward due to my behavior," she said apologetically.

"Olivia," Christopher said.

"Chris…"

"You will always be my family."

Olivia and Renee were part of his family. At that moment, Olivia finally accepted that he would alwaysbe her brother and that the one he loved was Emma.

"Thank you for protecting me all these years, Chris."

"I will always protect you." Christopher smiled.

Olivia understood that Christopher would treat her better than anyone else if she had not been in lovewith him. If she were to fall in love with him. At this moment, she was truly grateful and fortunate thatshe had snapped back to her senses. Finally, she had found someone she wanted to cherish andprotect, someone she was willing to bear his children.

After Christopher had lingered for a moment, he returned to the hotel. Then, after he took a shower, hesent Emma a message.

'See you later, Emma.'

…

After Christopher had returned to the hotel, Olivia saw William standing by the willow tree after taking afew steps forward. The moment she noticed that William was looking at her with his beautiful eyes, shesaid softly, "Will."

William hummed in response.

"I am not pregnant."

"I know," he replied.

Olivia jerked her head and stared at him in confusion. "How did you know that?"

"Did you forget what I do for a living?" asked William in amusement.

William was a doctor.

At that moment, Olivia laughed heartily and said, "Are you that all-knowing?"

"I trust you," he replied earnestly.

He believed with all her heart that she would not lie to him.

When Olivia heard the hidden meaning of his words, her eyes reddened, and she desperately wantedto hug William, which she did.

She lunged forward, burrowed her face into his embrace, and snuggled against him. Then, she saidgratefully, "Thank you for being so understanding."

As he embraced her, he heard her muffled voice calling out to him.

"Yes?"

"Will." She repeated.

William didn't know what to say in the face of her strange behavior.

Finally, Olivia looked at him adoringly and confessed, "I love you, Will." She was genuinely grateful thathe came into her life.

He beamed at her confession and replied, "Thank you for choosing me, Olivia." He was also thankfulthat a proud woman like her was willing to marry him.

"I'm going to be your bride tomorrow, Will."

"Yes, and I'm going to be your groom tomorrow."
