    Balfour huffed. “You’re really growing a spine, huh?”


    On the outside, Byran seemed tough, but on the inside, he was nervous. He was afraid that his brother


    would lose his temper and give him a piece of his mind.


    Yet Balfour, although displeased, didn’tsh out. Instead, he said, “You’re not a kid anymore. It’s about


    time you started thinking about settling down. But don’t just jump on the bandwagon because you see


    others getting married.”


    Byran looked serious. “I’m not jumping on any bandwagon. I’ve been thinking about this every day for


    three years. I’ve been thinking about how I can bring Ida back home. Bro, just agree to us getting


    engaged.”


    Balfour pinched the bridge of his nose. “I’m just your brother, not your parent. Discuss this with our


    grandparents and father. If they agree, I won’t object.”


    Upon hearing that his brother wouldn’t object, Byran breathed a sigh of relief. “As long as you agree,


    we’re half way there. Thanks, bro!”


    Balfour fell silent.


    Perhaps he said he agreed just to get it over with.

    As Byran turned around, he saw Ida approaching from the kitchen with three small water bottles.


    He quickly stepped forward and solemnly dered. “Ida, my brother has agreed to our rtionship.”


    Ida’s expression was unreadable, but up close, he could hear her sigh in resignation.


    She didn’t respond to Byran. She merely set the water bottles on the coffee table. “Boss, it’s just water.


    Give it to the kids.”


    Ellinor gave her a slight nod.


    Ida, seemingly ufortable under their scrutiny, turned and retreated to her room!


    Byran followed her. He nearly got shut out, but thankfully he had the foresight to slip in before the door


    closed.


    As she watched the two, a hint of concern flickered in Ellinor’s eyes. She turned to Balfour and said,


    “Mr. Howard, you don’t seem to be thrilled with the idea of Ida bing your sister-inw?”


    “It’s not that. Ida is an excellent woman in all aspects. I just think Byran is not worthy of her, and they’re


    not suitable for each other.”


    Ellinor raised an eyebrow. “Oh, please! I bet you’re just bothered by the fact that Ida is older than


    Byran. How shallow!”


    Sensing that his sister was angry on behalf of her friend, Balfour sighed. “Ellinor, even if I had no


    objections, would you really feel at ease letting your good friend marry Byran? The guy doesn’t even


    have his own life figured out, so how can he be responsible for a woman and a family?”


    If she had a choice, Ellinor would obviously want to find a mature and caring man for Ida, but now she


    didn’t have a say in it.


    Even though Ida always seemed aloof, she could tell that Byran was in Ida’s heart.


    “Mr. Howard, you’re not young anymore, but can you honestly say that you’ve figured out your life?”


    Balfour was taken aback. “Uh…”


    Ellinor smirked. “What does it mean to have figured out life? Honestly, none of us have. I used to think I


    had it all figured out, but now? It’s a total mess.


    Mr. Howard, none of us have the pure emotions that Byran has. His feelings are nothing but pure


    sincerity, without hesitation or calction. This kind of emotion is rare in today’s world. It should be


    praised, not dismissed from our perspective, When ites to love, none of us are as wise or as brave


    as he is.”
