Valentine continued.
"He had a very rough experience when we were little. He had no chance to see his mother and was only able to do so on the day she died in front of him. That scarred him, I suppose, and it seems he does not want the same for Lady Avelina. Perhaps he would consider bringing Lady Avelina back after she goes home. But that is if she wants to."
"If not—knowing my brother, he would let her be." He deeply sighed. "Also, as I told you, he is not capable of love, so he would not want her to be with him. He would never be able to get over the guilt of knowing he could not reciprocate her feelings. He obviously wants her to choose someone else—someone who would feel the same way as she does."
Now, finally understanding, they took a deep breath.
"Oh…Don…" Ava bit her lower lip.
"But he deserves to be loved too. It is not his fault that he is not capable of love."
