After leaving the convenience store with a pack of toilet paper, he reached the gatehouse and looked around.
Zeke Sean patted his shoulder, “You’re doing this on purpose, aren’t you?”
A grown man standing right in front of Camden, pretending he’s invisible – what’s the point?
Could he really not recognize him?
Mario Yuno chuckled, “If you hadn’t spoken up, I would’ve thought some homeless guy wandered to our gate. I almost asked the guard to give you a bottle of water.”
“Cut it out!” Zeke Sean’s retort was weak and breathless.
Mario Yuno indeed was teasing Zeke Sean, but it wasn’t Camden’s fault.
In just two days, Zeke Sean had become haggard, his chin covered with stubble, reeking of alcohol, his clothes wrinkled like dried vegetables, and his hair a tousled mess.
“Buddy, what happened to you these past two days? Sheesh, look at your hair, it’s like it’s been struck by lightning!” Mario Yuno touched Zeke Sean’s messy hair, which luckily was not greasy or flaky, just unkempt.
“It’s all because of the Old Yates Family – don’t make fun of me.”
These two days had been tough for Zeke Sean.
Each day was like a year, living and dreaming in drunken stupor, barely making it to the agreed time.
“Why do you have to hang yourself on a crooked tree? What’s so good about that heartless girl?”
Having heard the whole story from Kiara, Mario Yuno thought less of his sister Indri Yuno for toying with someone’s affections and passing them on to another. On this matter, he was on Zeke Sean’s side, contemptuous of his sister’s callousness.
Zeke Sean forced a smile.
“I’d also like to know why I’m so fixated. That’s why I came to see your incredible wife.”
After a pause, Zeke Sean asked another question.
“If your wife just wouldn’t take a shining to you, would you keep hanging from her tree, or would you switch to another tree?”
“Isn’t that a stupid question? I wouldn’t want anyone other than her father.”
“You know full well that ‘it’s hard to keep water away from the sea; without Black Mountain, it’s not a cloud.’ So why come and advise me not to hang from her tree?”
Mario Yuno gave Zeke Sean a look that said ‘good luck with that.’
“Although in terms of fighting prowess, my wife is a bit more formidable, I think she’s clearly more compassionate in handling emotions than Indri Yuno, the ungrateful one.”
Mario Yuno really wasn’t just bragging about his own wife.
Kiara was harsh to those outside, but kind to those close to her.
Being the closest person in her heart, Kiara was especially tolerant of Mario Yuno. Even though he had to go on a mission on their wedding day, Kiara didn’t get back at him afterward – a kindness Mario Yuno remembered for a lifetime.
But Indri Yuno was different; she was the same with everyone – not bad, not particularly warm.
You couldn’t call her arrogant.
It was like she was a few degrees colder than everyone else, living in her own world, maintaining a not too close, but not too distant relationship with her family.
It was unfortunate Zeke Sean had set his sights on Indri Yuno, a woman as cold-blooded as her; even Mario Yuno, Indri’s twin brother, felt sympathy for Zeke Sean.
“Sigh, it doesn’t matter what kind of person she is. What matters is I like her, and that’s that.”
…
“Like, is just to like.”
That phrase was uttered by Kiara two hours later.
Behind the tightly closed door, the sound of Zeke Sean breaking down in tears could be heard.
Mario Yuno was dumbfounded. He had no idea what his wife had done to Zeke Sean in those two hours. Kiara came out and said just that, and then Zeke Sean was bawling at the door.
“You’d be wasting your talent if you weren’t some kind of psychic; I’ve never seen Zeke Sean shed a tear his whole life.”
What on earth did the daughter-in-law do to him?
“I released his negative emotions. Don’t disturb him, let’s go, we’ll go out and buy some food.”
Kiara said, understanding the situation.
Zeke Sean had too much emotional baggage, and Kiara took the opportunity to release it for him. To avoid any awkwardness for Zeke Sean afterward, Kiara gave him the house.
“Have you come to any conclusions yet?” Mario Yuno asked Kiara after they left.
“Conclusions? Didn’t I tell you? He likes her, he really does.” Kiara was a bit surprised by the outcome, but felt it was only natural.
The likelihood of true liking in unrequited love is very low, just like the example she gave before: many people are fascinated by things in the store window they can’t afford, but few actually like what they buy once the novelty wears off.
But there are exceptions of true affection, which are rare, and Zeke Sean was one.
“Are you that certain?”
“Of course, the therapeutic principle I used on him was to ignore the past and focus only on the present, naturally excavating his inner feelings. He genuinely has feelings for Amelia.”
That’s tragic.
“So what do you plan to do next?” The matter concerned his twin sister, who was notoriously cold-blooded, so Mario Yuno had to get involved.
“I’ll go with the flow–I won’t be going to the team tomorrow; tell that twisted uke for me.”
“Twisted uke?”
“Patrick, the guy with hormonal imbalance.”
“What are you going to do?”
“I’m going to Amelia’s concert.”
“Taking leave is no problem, but knowing Patrick, he will take this more personally and like you even less.”
Kiara gave him a sidelong glance. “So, what, you want me not to ask for leave?”
“Of course not, I just mean… if Patrick acts unfriendly toward you, go easy on him. A little lesson is fine, just don’t break him–we still need people like that.”
Mario Yuno, of course, had his way with people. If Patrick dared to mess with Kiara, she wouldn’t hesitate to flatten him. His wife could confront anyone with fearless defiance.
“Hmm, for your sake, I’ll spare this little brother. Though, how to put it, this brother might have the temperament of a stubborn uke, but he’s not a bad person, and he’s very upright. He even dares to confront the wife of Mario Yuno, which shows he really has talent. Of course, he’s also got a sour streak. After I set him straight a couple of times, he’ll behave.”
Mario Yuno kissed her, and they were on the same page about this. It was consistent with both their values when it came to interacting with others, but there was something he found odd.
“Why do you call him a twisted uke?”
“…Intuition.”
“I haven’t even started on your failure to stand up for your wife.”
“I know you can handle him, I’ll step in when there’s something you can’t.”
Kiara pouted, “You really think you’re something special. There’s hardly anything in this world I can’t handle. You just watch how I sort out Third Brother of Yuno Family, the most difficult one in our house, tomorrow!”
That’s the kind of confidence one needs, no problem!
“Oh, what about that time with the implant hypnosis? Did you sort that out by yourself?” Mario Yuno brought up the most embarrassing topic.
Kiara, blushing with annoyance, chased after him. “You stand right there, don’t run!”
After the couple finished shopping and returned home, Zeke Sean had left.
Kiara sent him a text, inviting him to the concert together the next day. Zeke Sean replied almost instantly.
Not going.
