Chapter 33: Best Brother? Yes! 2

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.

As Vincent said, he should help Helena erase that line and even join her on the other side of the line, keeping the entire world outside the line.

But now, he understood that he never had done that. He was among the entire world outside Helena’s line.

It was his mistake for not trying to erase that line.

Vincent just said that Helena was trying to be a good partner in their marriage. Helena was the same in his past life as well. So, she had tried to get together with him. It was he who failed to understand his ’mission’ and failed. So, it was his fault?

Yes, it was his fault.

Vincent also said something that opened his eyes even wider.

Nothing happens overnight.

Either it be love or hate.

Either it be understanding or rift.

Nothing happens overnight.

So, the rift between them in his previous life did not happen overnight either.

Instead, it was he who slowly pushed her away. That might have been what happened.

He scratched his head in frustration.

He did not know what he should do.

Vincent calmed down slowly and looked at his younger brother’s frustrated face and felt bad for him.

he sighed and patted his shoulder gently, "Vernon, relax. it isn’t too late. As I said, you got married for just one day. If you are feeling bad today, it means at least you want to understand Helena, right? That’s good, brother. That is really good. But you should start taking the first step now. You should slowly walk towards Helena and make her feel comfortable in this new environment.

"Listen to me. Helena just married you. You both might have known each other your whole lives. But that doesn’t mean anything when you stay in the same house. You have to start understanding each other from scratch once you start living together.

"Now, you will start seeing the parts of your partner that you have never seen before. You have to get used to this. You have to accommodate her. You have to understand her. You have to give her the space where she needs and stay with her when you should.

"You should know when you should move forward and when you should take a step back. Of course, it is inevitable to make a few wrong steps now and then. But I am confident about Helena. She wouldn’t care too much. She will forgive you a few times. But you should understand when you are wrong. Only then could you make it up to her.

"If you do not notice and repeat the same mistake again and again, then you are a bad husband. Do you understand?"

Vernon nodded. His eyes watered, and he slowly blinked them away.

How he wished his brother had told him all these words in his previous life. Then he might have changed many things, right?

He nodded again and again. He couldn’t stop nodding his head.

Vincent couldn’t help but frown when he saw his actions.

"Vernon, why are you crying?" he did not understand.

Were his words too hurtful? "I am sorry, kid. I did not mean to scare you. Don’t cry. You weren’t wrong. You did not do anything wrong. I just worried that you would do wrong. So, I said a few extra words."

Vincent felt flustered as he did not know how to cajole a crying Vernon.

Vernon had cried before as well. But then, Vincent could very easily ignore him and leave without even giving him another look.

But today felt different.

The emotions that Vernon was emitting while crying were completely different from before.

When Vernon cried before, he looked like a little kid who was crying for attention.

But today, his cries looked sad.

He was pouring all his emotions into his tears.

That was when he recalled Helena’s earlier words.

Vernon was keeping something within him, and he was bottling all his emotions within him. Helena was worried that he wouldn’t have a let out and would break down.

So what is this?

Is this just letting his emotions out? Or is this his breakdown?

It is good if he was just letting his emotions out. But if it was a breakdown... he was scared.

Vernon, on the other hand, did not know what Vincent was thinking. When he heard his brother’s words, he felt guilty. He doesn’t want his brother to feel sorry towards him.

He shook his head, "You did not do anything wrong, brother. Don’t think too much. I just started to see something differently. I want to thank you. You really are the best brother I could ever have. Thank you, Brother."

He said, with his eyes still wet.

He wasn’t exactly crying. His eyes were wet, and sometimes, when he blinked, those tears would fall out of his sockets. That’s all.

Even his voice did not change.

Vincent blinked his eyes. If Vernon cried like a kid like he usually did, he would at least feel a little better.

But this kid wasn’t crying, and he was more worried.

he sighed. He patted his shoulder again, "Okay, don’t cry. I won’t say sorry anymore. Happy? Also, I am your big brother, whether you approve or not. As your brother, I have to tell you these things. It is my duty. It is just that I never thought of telling you these things. Maybe I delayed too much. I should have noticed earlier and should have had this talk with you before your marriage."

"Okay, now stop crying. You don’t look as cute as you looked when you were a child when you cry. Don’t think too much and just rest. I still can’t believe that you went into shock just because you felt I know Helena more than you. You brat."
