Sumr Fairmont didn’t delve into why Leo Vaughn was like this, nor did she plan to expose him.
Everyone has their own inner secrets. Thinking you’re amazing by tearing off soone else’s mask doesn’t fit Sumr Fairmont’s cool and aloof style.
When it cos to a smiley depression, Sumr Fairmont doesn’t have it because she doesn’t even know how to smile.
When it cos to fear of intimacy, Sumr might be even more serious than Leo Vaughn.
Even though Leo Vaughn went through a major family upheaval at eighteen, before that, he was in love just like Artie Vaughn.
Comparing him to Sumr Fairmont, how lucky is Leo Vaughn?
Sumr Fairmont doesn’t pity Leo Vaughn because she has no right to pity anyone.
What Sumr likes is the dazzling radiance on Artie Vaughn’s face like the sun, and Leo Vaughn clearly doesn’t have the conditions to make Sumr like him.
In Sumr Fairmont’s world, when she cares about soone, she cares about everything about that person, and everything of those she doesn’t care about is irrelevant to her.
Sumr Fairmont won’t like everything Artie Vaughn likes just because of her fondness for Artie.
The pink Artie likes, Sumr doesn’t like at all.
The coquetry Artie likes, Sumr never learned.
The brother Artie likes, Sumr hasn’t even had the chance to feel anything yet.
What’s important for Sumr Fairmont now is returning to Scotland.
And the best way for her to go back to Scotland is to swiftly end this farewell with Talia Tate, Artie, and Leo Vaughn.
Sumr Fairmont doesn’t dare to covet the ticulous family-like experience Artie created for her.
She never forces anything that doesn’t belong to her and never thought of being a good person.
Talia Tate is worried that behind the sudden death of Winters, there might be an even bigger secret.
All these years, she’s lived in constant anxiety, walking on thin ice.
So people with a strong sense of crisis might be concerned about sothing happening to the whole family, so even when traveling, they wouldn’t have the entire family on the sa flight. That way, even if one plane crashes, not the entire family would be gone.
Talia Tate’s sense of survival after calamity is even stronger than those people’s crisis awareness.
Talia requested that Leo Vaughn try not to appear under the sa sky as Artie Vaughn.
Five years have passed, watching Leo Vaughn handle Winters Spirits increasingly well and safely.
Talia gradually felt at ease and agreed to let Artie return to work at Winters Spirits after graduation.
Talia’s reaction might be a bit extre, but the warmth and coldness of human relationships, and the cruelty of the world, only the happiness of family is worth Talia’s concern.
Having circled the gates of Hell several tis, after being discharged from the hospital, Talia never involved herself in the company’s affairs.
Firstly, Leo Vaughn picked up the ropes quicker than she expected.
Secondly, she hoped to recover well to see her set of twins build their own families.
If possible, it would be even better to hold a grandson or granddaughter early.
Artie had been plotting for several years to bring Sumr Fairmont back.
She exerted all efforts to teach Sumr Chinese for this day.
The earliest she brought Brunswick Whiskey to Celestar was also for the sa purpose.
She wanted Sumr to establish a connection with Celestar to achieve the ultimate goal of bringing Sumr back.
From seeing how eager Sumr is to return, Artie is still far from her ultimate goal.
The revolution is yet to succeed, and Artie still needs to work hard.
Sumr Fairmont declined Artie’s offer to accompany her back to Scotland.
Artie hasn’t been back for a long ti; the word ’friends’ weighs heavy in Sumr Fairmont’s heart, so much so that she can’t claim any friend entirely for herself.
In this world, everyone has things they don’t wish to face yet have to face.
Sumr Fairmont doesn’t want to keep recalling Hieronymus and the cold, dark childhood.
She decided to say goodbye to the past, returning alone to face what Hieronymus left her.
To see what needs to be seen, to seal what needs to be sealed.
As for where to go in the future, she really hasn’t thought about it.
Sumr Fairmont doesn’t want Artie to accompany her, not because flying is too exhausting.
But because the sun can only illuminate the surrounding ti when it is unobstructed.
With Artie being well protected, she never had—and shouldn’t have in the future—witness any darkness of the world.
Even Sumr Fairmont herself isn’t too confident in facing that dark period, and she can’t bring herself to have Artie accompany her through it.
Perhaps Sumr Fairmont also wants to quickly get used to a Scotland without Artie.
Winters’ sudden passing, Leo Vaughn changed Artie’s school during his return, opposing Artie’s contacts with any forr friends, even needing to keep the family background a secret.
The years Sumr Fairmont and Artie spent in Scotland, they talked about everything except each other’s families.
Artie’s understanding of Sumr Fairmont’s background relied entirely on guesswork, even the surna was a phonetic translation.
Sumr never asked Artie what her family did.
The independent whiskey label design is Sumr Fairmont’s main source of inco at this stage.
Sumr Fairmont is aware of Artie’s little sches, but she has never thought of depending on anyone.
If Artie didn’t have such a good family background, if the title of Wine Winters Ambassador was really just self-proclaid, Sumr might have just joined her in working hard in Celestar.
Just like how they founded The Wellness Punk Association in Scotland.
From a small school club of two people in a few years, growing to two thousand people, and continuing to grow even after they graduated.
...............
Hieronymus left Sumr Fairmont a handwritten letter, starting with "Somr Diwu".
Given Hieronymus’s physical condition, writing wasn’t an easy task for him.
He filled an entire page in wobbly, slightly difficult-to-decipher English.
The content of the letter is as follows:
Thank God that you were able to see this letter.
My child, I know you loathe , hate .
When you see this letter, it ans I have descended into my own Hell.
Please continue to hate .
I am a person born with a curse.
Everyone who gets close to ends up dying untily.
My parents, my brother’s entire family, and your mother.
So, please hate , this unlucky person.
During your growth, I chose to stay far away from you.
I avoided your school because I feared my bad luck might bring you misfortune, and I was also afraid my physical disability might provoke hostility from your peers.
When I began writing this letter, you were eighteen.
You have finally grown up; your resilient life force is my only attachnt to this world.
My child, there is sothing I must tell you.
Your mother, she was my apprentice. She is the only one with exceptional talent willing to be my apprentice.
I guess when you were little, you also heard the rumors saying I married your mother.
When I wanted to deny it, your mother also passed away mysteriously.
I didn’t deny it anymore.
I am a person born with disabilities. If I didn’t acknowledge the factual marital relationship with your mother, I couldn’t possibly have adopted you after her death.
I’ve always regretted this.
Every ti I see you, I think, my child, would you be happier in an orphanage than with an unlucky person like ?
Watching you grow up working hard on your own, seeing your tenacious life force like a Selaginella, I thank God.
God heard my prayers, sent to Hell, and now you can live in a world that will never be cursed.
When the world no longer has a person who might curse you at any mont, please forget the past and seek beautiful mories of the future.
Please forgive , this unlucky person.
My child, please forgive for calling you that only in a letter after my death.
