"...Whimper..."
What did Ella Lacey hear?
He admitted to all the things he had silently done for her!
Her tears fell freely, landing on his handsome face while she kissed him with elated joy. "Big brother, all these years, you've always liked me, haven't you!"
Yes, he did...
"..."
Arthur Lindsey seemed to see the carefree little girl again.
He gripped her small hand and placed it on his chest, praying, "You have to live well, stop overthinking, understand?"
"Then you have to live well too!"
Ella Lacey looked at him earnestly, "Without you, what's the point of me living at all, whimper..."
"Silly girl, there are others in this world who would love and care for you. Like that heartthrob at your school, I think he's pretty good." Arthur Lindsey felt more relaxed as he talked to Ella Lacey, as if they could discuss anything and everything.
"Arthur, so you knew about him!"
