Chapter 32: Best Brother? Yes! 1
Vincent once again blinked his eyes. He seemed to slowly understand what his brother was saying, but for a second, he did not know how to react.
"Vernon, have you gone crazy?" Vincent asked.
"Huh?"
"You idiot. Of course, you wouldn’t understand everything Helena thinks immediately. Yes, it is bad that you did not realize that was how Helena was. She always drew a line with others, not crossing it no matter what. As her husband, it is now your duty to slowly enter that line. You should make sure that there shouldn’t be any such line between you and her.
"You both should be inside that line, and everyone else should be on the other side of that line. But that wouldn’t happen in a single day. You have been married for how many days, huh? You got married just yesterday. How do you expect that line to vanish in a single day?
"Not just you. Any new couple needs some adjustment time. It wouldn’t happen in a single day. It is not magic. Some might need a few days, a few weeks, a few months or some might even need a few years to erase that invisible line between the couple.
"But you have to try to erase the line. As her husband, that should be your duty. Not just yours. Even a wife had to work hard to get to understand her husband and get to know him enough to stand beside him.
"I just talked to Helena a couple of minutes ago. From her words, I could very well see that she was trying.
"She wanted to know what was worrying you. She wanted what was good for you. She was thinking about your feelings before her own feelings. She is a very good wife to you. I can see that very clearly.
"Now, as her husband, you should try being a good husband as well. You can’t expect to understand her just because you tied the knot. If you want to understand her, you have to try hard.
"I understood her because I had seen Helena grow up like my younger sister since young. Also, your sister-in-law was like that in the starting days of our relationship. I had experience with Jemma. So, I saw through Helena’s intentions easily. You have no experience. How could you expect to understand her just like that?
"Look at me. Do you think that I understood Jemma on the first day we met? Or did you think that I understood her completely on the day we started to date?
"No! It took us a long time before we understood each other. Even after we got married, I wouldn’t dare to say that I know her completely. With each passing day, we learn more about each other. That is what being married is like.
"Trying to learn more about your partner. Being there for them. Standing side by side with them against the whole world. Understanding their likes and dislikes. Sometimes even liking their likes and disliking their dislikes for no apparent reason.
"Everything would happen gradually. Nothing happens overnight. Either it be love or hate. Either it be understanding or a rift. There is always a reason for every reaction.
"If you want to understand her, you have to show her that you want to understand her and stand by her side. That would be when she would let you understand her.
"If you stayed calm like how you did and just whined like a baby instead of trying, I promise you, you would never understand her. Instead, you would only push her away. Yes, it might take some time, but once you push her away, you will realize that no matter what you did, you can never get near her again.
"So, brooding like this is not okay. Instead, you should be taking a step. A step towards her. If you want to understand her, you have to communicate with her. Observe each and everything about her while being with her.
"Do you understand what I am saying? Vernon, be with her."
Vincent gave a very long speech. But he realized that he needed to give this speech to Vernon.
He always thought that Vernon might be childish, but he would grow up when needed. He never thought that his opinion on a married couple was like that.
How could he marry a woman with such an attitude? If this continued, his marriage in the future... He did not dare to think any further.
Actually, if he was just jealous of him, Vincent wouldn’t think much.
Jealousy is normal in a loving relationship. Sometimes, a little jealousy might even help a couple to grow closer together.
Sometimes, Vincent was jealous of Vernon as well. Yes. Vincent was a man of few words. Vernon was the complete opposite of him.
He could see that Jemma always had a good time whenever she chatted with Vernon. Sometimes, they gossip together so much that they would even forget that he was sitting beside them.
How could Vincent not be jealous? But he also knows how much they both love him. So, he never took anything to heart.
Sometimes, he would punish them to extinguish his jealousy, and everything would be left behind just like that.
But Vernon isn’t jealous. So, something as simple as a punishment couldn’t heal him.
Instead, it was in Vernon’s hands about how to deal with his situation. He should take the lead in their marriage. No outsiders could help him with his marriage.
Even if Helena tried to keep them together, if Vernon’s attitude wasn’t sufficient, she wouldn’t be able to keep it together for too long either.
What he did not know was that that was exactly what had happened to this couple in their last life.
That was why Vernon was stunned after listening to Vincent’s words. He slowly started to understand what went wrong in his marriage the last time. He did not step up to understand Helena. So, that imaginary line was never erased.
