Chapter 1396
At the bar, Josiah walked directly to the private room to see Liam sitting in the corner drinking his sorrows away. He
paused for a while before entering.
Liam looked up at him and asked, "Why are you here?"
"Didn't I tell you that I will return the same favor of all those times you drank with me previously?"
Josiah grabbed the bottle and poured himself a cup before clinking his cup with Liam's. "Come, I'll drink with you."
"No need."
"What do you mean?" Josiah measured him up. "Would you rather drink alone?"
"That's right."
"You should wipe away your envy attitude." Josiah took a swig. " You don't have to be jealous of Edith and me. After
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtall, the two of us have come a long and tough way."
"Then, do you think if I endure for as long as you did, something good will come out of it?" Liam finally clinked his
glass with Josiah's.
"Perhaps," Josiah said, "I don't knowhow to console you, but seeing how you have consoled me so much previously,
I think you should know better than me."
"So, what is your point of existence here? Wasting my alcohol?" Liam glared at him in detest. "If you don't know
how to console me, then leave. Don't be an eyesore here."
Josiah thought for a while. "Why don't I...try?"
"Okay, try."
"I think the best solution is to drink, get drunk, and forget everything."
"Josiah, do you think you're funny?"
"Not really." Josiah shrugged. "Your matter is indeed quite challenging. You're trying to save your brother, and at the
same time, you don't want to give Ivy up. How do you think I should console you? To ask you to give your brother up
or give Ivy up?"
Liam was silent for a while before asking, "If it were you, what would happen?"
"If it were me, and if Ivy were Meredith, of course, I would choose her."
"Why are you so sure?"
"Maybe because I don't have an older brother. I don't know the importance of having a brother. Maybe also
Meredith is too important to me." Josiah cleared his throat, "okay, I think I'm talking useless crap again."
This time, Liam did not blame him. He merely said, "My brother has treated me well since young. This is something
you would surely never have experienced.
"Ivy is not that important to me too, after all, her child is not mine. The person that she used to like was not me
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmeither." He smiled bitterly. "If not, I wouldn't have been so conflicted."
Josiah did not know what to say at that moment. He could only pick up his glass and drink with him. He said, "Is a
person's past really that important?"
"Josiah, if it was not important, why did you torture Meredith to the point of death just because of a servant back
then?"
"Because, back then, I thought I did not love Meredith at all," Josiah said, "Now that I think about it, everything I did
back then was comical and stupid.
"Liam, I hope that many years later, when you look back on this, you won't be filled with regret."
Josiah continued, "Actually, after going through adversity, you will realize that living for yourself would be the most
meaningful way."
Liam looked at him and said, "Hearing what you say, you still hope that Ivy and I will be together."
"No. If your brother were to hear me say that he would surely hate me."
"Useless."
"Forget about it. Let's just drink." Josiah picked his glass up. "We will drink till we drop tonight."
