Chapter 395
Mrs. Eileen truly didn’t see it coming, her gaze complex as she looked at Orion.
It took her a long while to speak up: “You know it’s impossible between you two, with that car accident and all No one could forget the death of their parents.
Orion was crouching in front of the elderly woman, bending his straight back.
The old lady spoke up: “Your guilt, you can make it up to her, that’s the best choice for both of you p>
He was bowing down, speaking in a low voice: “I know p>
But he couldn’t control it.
At first, it was compassion, and then, it was love.
The old lady sighed: “Seems like, she must be a good girl, to have moved your heart, hasn’t she p>
“Grandma, you don’t know how tough these years have been for her, even her brother has been neglecting and suppressing her p>
Orion paused for a long moment: “I thought I was rational enough p>
“Rationality can prevent one from entering a relationship, but it can’t stop one from developing feelings p>
Mrs. Eileen knew her grandson; if he wasn’t truly moved, he wouldn’t have opened up to her.
The old lady perceptively caught on to his thoughts.
She spoke: “Orion, are you telling me all this because you want to be with her p>
“Yes p>
Orion had made up his mind last night; he truly had feelings for Lemira.
The person he liked, he was determined to fight for.
That was also the reason he came back.
Mrs. Eileen playfully hit him: “You little rascal, trying to sweet-talk your grandma, huh p>
“Grandma, I don’t need you to do anything, but I do need your support p>
Mrs. Eileen pondered for a moment before speaking: “At the end of the day, the accident wasn’t your fault; it was a tragedy. But it’s unfortunate for that girl. I just don’t get it, the accident wasn’t that severe, how did it suddenly explode?” If only that girl’s parents hadn’t died.
Orion’s voice was hoarse: “I haven’t dared to tell her anything yet p>
He didn’t know if he was worthy, he hesitated and struggled for a long time.
“Go for it if you like her, let her see your sincerity, but you need to find the right moment to reveal your identity and the truth about the past p>
Orion nodded: “I understand, will you accept her then p>
“I don’t approve of you two being together p>
Orion didn’t speak.
The old lady saw through his
determination: “What you should et
worry about is not whether I accept her, but whether she will accept you after knowing everything p>
“I’ll find a way p>
“It’s best to let go sooner, it’s better for both of you. There are so many girls out there, why insist on her p>
Mrs. Eileen understood her grandson well, fearing that in the end, both would be hurt.
Orion remained silent, diligently pruning the flower branches for the old lady.
There are many girls in the world, but there’s only one Lemira.
He turned and walked into Matthew’s room.
Matthew, startled, scrambled to hide something, but relaxed upon seeing Orion: “Dude, it’s you. Why didn’t you knock? I have my privacy, you know.” “Porno mags? What’s there to hide p>
Orion glanced and immediately knew what Matthew was hiding.
He pulled up a chair to sit down: “What time are we heading out tonight p>
Matthew’s interest was piqued instantly: “You’re coming too p>
Orion’s gaze was serious as he looked at him: “There’s something you need to do. Remember to protect her at the party, don’t let anyone bully her, got it p>
“Got it, no need for you to say it! I’ll protect her p>
Matthew thumped his chest proudly, then lowered his voice: “Dude, she hasn’t made any weird requests, right? Like asking me to drop out of the race or something p>
Orion smacked Matthew on the head: “She’s not that kind of person p>
