"Christopher Scott, I’ve given you enough ti, and I don’t have many seven years in my life. Besides, you don’t actually love . You just enjoy the thrill of having as your sidekick. In your mind, you think Seven Murray should spend her whole life liking you and chasing after you."
"If it weren’t because I was getting engaged, you wouldn’t have co to talk to . If my family business wasn’t facing issues and I didn’t co back from New York, would you have sought out?"
"You wouldn’t, because you’ve always been waiting for to compromise, waiting for to co back and make peace with you. Later, when I returned, I didn’t make peace with you, I didn’t seek reconciliation, and so you showed all kinds of dissatisfaction, making work difficult for ."
"Christopher Scott, you never actually liked . You just treated as your personal possession. But I’m not; I’m a person, with flesh and blood, with emotions. I need others’ care, I need warmth too."
"You will never learn to lower your pride, like this conversation today, 18 days ago, when you called . Although I said I would call you back, I didn’t. Did you ever think of calling again to check if I was busy with work? Yet you waited until the day before my engagent to call again."
"Do you know why, Christopher Scott? Because you believe that as long as you want to take away, you can, so you never felt urgency. That’s why it dragged on until today."
"But Christopher Scott, I’ve completely let you go. The warmth I didn’t get from you in this relationship, I will find. As the saying goes, what’s missing in the previous relationship will be made up in the next. Ian Hobbs treats very well, and I’m happy with him. eting with you today was just to make things clear, not to leave with you. I won’t betray Ian Hobbs, and I know what I want."
"Christopher Scott, take care of yourself. There won’t be many opportunities like Seven Murray in your life. Learn to cherish the happiness you have now. Let go of my hand; I’m leaving."
Facing Seven Murray’s accusations, Christopher Scott was speechless. He never realized that Seven Murray had beco so articulate, leaving him unable to retaliate.
He never considered what Seven said, never thought of Seven as a possession, yet he never realized that Seven needed care and warmth. But he didn’t provide it.
Seven asked him to let go. He didn’t want to; he knew that letting go would an no more chances. Even if everything Seven said was right, he didn’t want to let her leave; he promised himself he would change.
So he said, "I won’t let go."
Seven looked at Christopher Scott’s persistence and calmly said, "Christopher Scott, don’t be selfish, okay? You have no right to control my life. I have my own choices. Right now, I’m not choosing you, alright?"
Christopher Scott, hearing Seven call him selfish, stared straight into her eyes but couldn’t argue. He indeed was selfish.
If he wasn’t selfish, how could he expect Seven to co back and compromise after hurting her?
Christopher Scott couldn’t understand where he got the confidence from, thinking that Seven should naturally trust him and co back seeking reconciliation.
He almost hated himself. Looking at Seven, shaking his head, he said, "Seven, I don’t believe it. We’ve known each other for 26 years, since the day you were born. I don’t believe you don’t like anymore."
"Seven, give a chance to start over, okay? I promise I’ll make it up to you, I’ll be good to you in the future, and I’ll listen to everything you say."
Hearing Christopher Scott’s earnest plea, Seven said helplessly, "Christopher Scott, only by leaving each other can we grow. If I forgive you, it will only make you more indulgent. For these seven years of your neglect, what dignity do I have in front of you? How could I make you like ?"
"Of course, the reason I bring up dignity is because I really no longer love you. So I choose dignity. However, it’s your neglect that made pick up this dignity. Christopher Scott, let’s part on good terms."
"No parting, no parting, I don’t want to part with you. I want you to stay by my side, Seven, I’m begging you." Despite all of Seven’s reasons, Christopher Scott still refused to let go.
Today, hearing what Seven had to say, he realized how outrageous his mistakes were, how deeply he had hurt Seven, and he wanted to make it up, wanted to use the rest of his life to compensate her.
Christopher Scott didn’t understand. So people, once missed, are gone forever. That’s the situation between him and Seven.
Seeing Christopher Scott holding onto her for a long ti, Seven was at a loss. She struggled for a mont, looking at Christopher Scott helplessly, and asked, "Christopher Scott, I’ve made it quite clear. What more do you want?"
"I don’t believe you don’t like anymore. You can’t possibly forget about , Seven. Don’t be stubborn, let’s give each other a chance, okay?" Christopher Scott sensed that Seven was just angry with him for not seeking her out for the past seven years.
Listening to Christopher Scott accuse her of being stubborn, Seven felt truly helpless.
She stood up from her chair, walked over to Christopher Scott, and, gripping the fingers he had wrapped around her wrist, said seriously, "Christopher Scott, I’m really not being stubborn. These seven years, I’ve exhausted all my patience with you."
"I admit, you are my youth, but you are not my future! And from the beginning to the end, including today, you’ve never said you liked . Christopher Scott, the person you love is yourself. You can’t stand seeing yourself wronged. If you really care for , you should let go, because I’m happier with Ian Hobbs than I ever was with you."
Seven’s words were sowhat harsh, but she had no choice.
In her eyes, Christopher Scott indeed loved only himself.
If he really loved her so much, how could he let her wait for seven years without bringing her back, eventually having her return on her own?
Upon hearing Seven say that he was her youth, not her future, Christopher Scott was stunned imdiately.
He could hear from those words that Seven had truly let him go.
She said she was happier with Ian Hobbs, so what reason did he have not to let go? He hurt her for so long, what right did he have to stand in the way of her happiness?
Christopher Scott took a deep breath, gently released his large hands, and slowly let her go. Yet his whole being seed soulless, his eyes empty and fixated on Seven.
He watched Seven hastily grab her bag, trying to leave him quickly.
Christopher Scott didn’t want to watch her leave, but he couldn’t find a way to stop it.
He didn’t know how he would live or face the future after Seven left.
Christopher Scott forgot what Hudson Moore once said, that during the seven years without Seven, he had managed to live quite well.
As Seven passed by him, Christopher Scott reached out his long arm and stopped her. He said, "Seven, I want to hug you."
