Both of them entered the room one after another, and Brooks Parker tidied up the clothes on the sofa, then said to Yolanda Greenwood, "Have a seat."
Yolanda nodded and sat down.
For a mont, they both fell silent.
It was Brooks who broke the silence first, "I didn’t expect our reunion to be like this, I must have disappointed you as your senior brother."
The Brooks before her had shed his previous careless deanor, and now he sowhat resembled the top student he once was.
"What exactly happened back then?" Yolanda was really curious, "Why did lissa suddenly get together with you? And even went abroad to have a child?"
She really couldn’t figure it out.
"Actually, I don’t know the details either," Brooks shook his head, "I had always been pursuing her, but she was with Cooper Coldson, why would she give a second glance?"
He gave a bitter smile, "But then one day, she suddenly asked to et her at a hotel, saying she wanted to give herself to ."
His frown deepened, "In reality, I realized sothing was off afterward, I asked her, but she said nothing... I always felt that her coming to was more like a spur-of-the-mont act of impetuosity."
"Act of impetuosity?" Yolanda didn’t understand. lissa had already taken Cooper away, what was there to be angry about?
Brooks chuckled, "Don’t you know what she was angry about? Although Cooper agreed to be with her, everyone knew that Cooper loved you."
"..." Yolanda found it increasingly unbelievable, "How is that possible?"
At that ti, Cooper had unhesitatingly left her for lissa, even if it was to repay a debt, how could he have loved her that much?
"Back then, I still had the chance to interact with this fierce and proud guy," Brooks narrated. "I rember going karaoke with them once, you should have seen Cooper then..."
He looked up at Yolanda, "He was drunk, singing while calling out your na."
Yolanda was taken aback, "I’ve never heard of this."
"Of course, you wouldn’t have heard, nobody dared to say," Brooks said with a wry smile, "Back then, Cooper had warned everyone not to speak a word about it."
Yolanda didn’t say anything.
Brooks continued, "Things like this happened many tis, I don’t believe lissa didn’t notice at all. No matter what asures she used to secure Cooper’s acknowledgnt, in Cooper’s heart, he always loved you."
He looked at her with sympathy, "lissa is a proud person, how could she not be angry? How could she not hate?"
"So, she was angry with Cooper and thus ca to you, and then even had your child?"
Brooks nodded, "It should be, I think even though Cooper accepted her as his girlfriend, he still didn’t want to be too intimate with her."
"But..." Yolanda hesitated before saying, "Even if she was pregnant, it could still be..."
"Are you suggesting it could have been aborted?" Brooks asked back, his expression not very resistant.
Yolanda nodded.
"Who hasn’t been naive?" Brooks leaned back on the sofa, "I think at that ti, she also dread of going abroad with , that I could provide her with a wealthy life, so she could completely forget Cooper, but what happened?"
He said self-mockingly, "I was always just a nobody."
"Senior Brother Brooks, you are great." Yolanda sincerely said, if that incident hadn’t happened back then, Brooks would probably have been very successful and not ended up this way.
"Hahaha..." Brooks burst into laughter, so hard that tears ca out, "Junior Sister Yolanda, you’re still the sa as before."
"Eh?" Yolanda didn’t quite understand.
Brooks suddenly glanced at her deeply but didn’t explain his words, only stood up, turning his back to Yolanda, "Anyone can see, my life is already over."
He walked to the window and looked out at the bustle and beauty outside, understanding in his heart that all that was no longer related to him.
"Senior Brother Brooks, don’t be so desperate." Yolanda got up and followed him, "You are still young, May is still so little, everything is still possible."
Brooks still faced away from Yolanda, "No, it’s over, it has long been over."
"Senior Brother Brooks..." Yolanda was getting anxious.
"Yolanda," Brooks suddenly turned around, "don’t you know? I’ve already picked up that stuff, you talk to about hope? What hope? Where is the hope?"
He was glaring, looking very frightening.
Yolanda instinctively took a step back but still insisted, "You can go to rehab, kick it, and live a good life."
"It’s impossible." Brooks’ face was filled with pain, "Everyone I know who has taken up that stuff, there’s only one outco, death."
"But, Senior Brother Brooks, how can you know it won’t work if you don’t try?" Yolanda continued to persuade him, "And there’s May, what will she do if sothing happens to you?"
"She would be dood following ," Brooks gave a bitter smile, "Perhaps, the day I die would be her lucky day."
"That’s just irresponsible," Yolanda couldn’t help but scold, "What difference is there between you and lissa? Bringing her to this world without permission, yet nobody wants to take responsibility? Can you live with yourselves?"
Brooks didn’t say anything, his tears silently flowing down.
Yolanda didn’t press him further, her tone softened, "Senior Brother Brooks, I believe you once wanted to be a good dad, it’s just that later, many things went wrong, it’s not your fault, but now May only has you, you must stand up again."
Brooks couldn’t hold back any longer, he sat on the floor, holding his head and started to cry loudly.
"I don’t want it either, I also want to cherish May properly, but with what shall I cherish her? I can’t even love myself, how can I love soone else?"
He suddenly raised his head, his face twisted with emotion, "It’s all because of lissa, it’s all her fault..."
He grabbed Yolanda’s arm with a sudden excitent, "The child in your belly is Cooper’s, isn’t it?"
Yolanda didn’t respond and struggled a bit, "Senior Brother Brooks, you’re hurting ."
"Let’s go find Cooper now, I’ll bring May and tell Cooper everything, you and Cooper can reconcile, okay?" Brooks looked extrely excited.
Yolanda was a bit scared, "Don’t be like this, acting rashly on this matter could harm May."
Brooks seed to calm down and think for a mont, then dejectedly let go of Yolanda, "There’s no way, it’s my fault for bringing May into this world, let us just fend for ourselves."
"Senior Brother Brooks, listen to ." Yolanda looked at him earnestly, "Let et lissa."
Brooks looked puzzled at her.
"Arrange a eting with lissa at your house, I want to talk to her properly," Yolanda nodded forcefully, "Perhaps, I can threaten her to take good care of May."
