Chapter 257 Let Everything Return to Its Original State
Aidan stood still; he had never thought that his liking for Evelyn would be a form of hurt to her.
"Evelyn, I..."
"Aidan, I know you never intended to hurt me, but for me, your liking is a form of hurt. It will destroy our sibling bond that has been built over many years, do you understand?" The reason she avoided Aidan was because she was afraid of this situation happening.
She was afraid that they would truly not be able to be siblings anymore, the years of friendship, it couldn't be simply given up on.
Aidan didn't say anything, a bitter smile appeared on his lips, "So that's how it is, so you'll never like me, even if I don't want this sibling bond?"
"Yes," Evelyn nodded without hesitation, looking at the person in front of her, "If you truly don't want this sibling bond, it will only make me hate you."
She didn't want things to reach that point, never wanted it.
Aidan sighed, seeming to have accepted his fate, "I understand."
"So, Aidan, what is your choice?" Evelyn felt a bit nervous; she was really afraid that Aidan would insist, and if that happened, what would she do?
Aidan looked at her, a hint of tenderness in his eyes, a tenderness that Evelyn was familiar with, the usual tenderness.
"I will definitely not give up our sibling bond that has been built over so many years." Although he felt very uncomfortable, knowing that even if he gave up the sibling bond there wouldn't be a chance for her to like him, he was afraid.
He feared that in the end, he would have nothing, afraid that he wouldn't even have the qualification to be by Evelyn's side.
So, let everything return to its original state.
Perhaps, this would be good for both of them.
Just...
Aid.
Her eyes turned towards Dermot, who was slumped on the table not far away, and she furrowed her brow, "So, let me ask you as a family member, do you really want to remarry him?"
Evelyn didn't expect him to change the topic so quickly and was momentarily caught off guard, "Aidan, this..."
"Evelyn, can't you even tell the truth to Aidan?" Aidan asked.
Evelyn helplessly replied, "Actually, I don't know right now. I don't reject his presence, but I also haven't really considered remarrying him."
She was someone who didn't like to revisit past experiences, especially when it came to marriage.
Aidan's heart sank as he understood that Evelyn's lack of rejection meant she was willing to give Dermot a chance. Knowing Dermot's persistent personality, he might actually be able to win Evelyn over.
"You don't like Aidan, but Aidan hopes you won't like him either," Aidan couldn't help himself and chose to speak up.
"Aidan, you never interfered with who I liked before," Evelyn smiled bitterly. In reality, Aidan hadn't completely given up, otherwise he wouldn't have said these words.
He would be like Niall, supporting her choice as long as she was happy.
Aidan fell silent, Evelyn was right. If he didn't like her, he wouldn't interfere, but...
After a while, he finally said, "If you like someone else, I won't interfere, but Dermot... he's not the one."
At this moment, neither of them noticed that Dermot, who was slumped on the table, subtly moved. His hand under the table clenched into a fist.
"Aidan, I don't know if I will like him, but I hope you'll support any choice I make," she ultimately didn't promise Aidan.
As soon as she finished speaking, Dermot relaxed his clenched fist, and a faint smile appeared on his lips.
Aidan sighed, realizing that whatever he said was futile, "I understand now, Aidan is also afraid of you getting hurt."
In the end, Aidan didn't rest at Evelyn's house. He supported Niall downstairs to hail a taxi. After Evelyn watched them leave, she turned back to her house.
