And the future was right in front of them.Everyone stayed at Jesse's ward for a while, and Cordy's eyes were still red as they left.She must admit that she felt relieved like never before, as if she really bade farewell to the past and made peace with it after telling her grandfather that John was there with them, alive.And she would always allow John to be in his life, always.Returning to Cranston Hall, John was leading Cordy to her room to get some rest when she said bluntly, "I'll rest later. You can go to our room for now—I want to talk to Patrick."John naturally knew what they would discuss, and Patrick agreed to it cheerfully.The last time they met was at their botched wedding—others aside, the two of them were still business partners, and they should not stay away from each other forever."Okay," John said simply."I'll take you to your room," Sean offered, letting Cordy and Patrick be alone.After John and Sean left, Cordy and Patrick headed to the tearoom outsid

Patrick sighed feebly when he saw Cordy's reaction. "Like I said, you'd have trouble accepting it.""It's not like I can't… but isn't that too quick?!""So, you can't." Patrick shrugged."I thought you're normal again…""And you consider myself and your dear cousin abnormal?" Patrick snorted, a little upset.Cordy pursed her lips. "No, I can respect anyone's preference—what I mean was you changed your heart a little too quickly, and not only that, but you changed your preference too!""But I never did change my preference. I just happen to love you too," Patrick said. "You're the only woman I ever loved."Cordy felt an aching on his chest, still guilty toward Patrick. Naturally, she respected Patrick's preferences, and she believed gender was irrelevant when it came to true love.But ultimately, in the big picture, going with the flow would grant further recognition from society. Most importantly, Patrick and Sean were important people—and she more or less cut off Patrick's w

Cordy had just picked up her teacup and was taking a slow sip—Patrick's words almost left her spitting it out.Patrick frowned and asked in confusion, "Aren't you worried?"Cordy considered it—but John had always been straight…"You don't really understand how amazing those two men really are," Patrick said solemnly. "You should know how incredible John is even without rose-tinted glasses. Others aside, I very much have no argument even if I lost you to him.""As for Sean…" Patrick trailed off, embarrassment showing on his face for once. "He's a real keeper only after I really got to know him.""Really? Is he that amazing?" Cordy was skeptical."Are you doubting your cousin's charisma?" Patrick demanded, clearly upset.Cordy raised a brow—here he was, defending his belief again!"Anyway, I'm going. I have to check out what those two are up to!" Patrick said and left.Cordy watched as he left really urgently right then, afraid that Sean would be stolen.She sighed feebly, thou

John grinned. "Don't worry. I'm quite straight."He could admit that it felt a little pleasant to have Cordy face those mini paranoid episodes—it only meant that Cordy was concerned that someone would take him away from her.But if there was anyone in the world who could tempt him, it was Cordy."I didn't think that Sean would be…" Cordy trailed off again, unable to finish her sentence.She could accept Patrick being that, since they were unrelated and she knew about that for a while.But her cousin was always so masculine, and yet…John chuckled. "Well, I am grateful for Sean's role."If it was not for him, Cordy would probably be still trapped with guilt toward Patrick."That's schadenfreude," she huffed."You have to admit that they make a good pair.""I…" She refused to admit that."Go to sleep already," John said, not pressing the issue just then. "You must be sleepy since we had to wake early for our flight."She could take her time to accept the reality anyway.When

Cordy decided that John was dressed in a manner too loose and tempting, and she went to stand in front of him, buttoning his shirt.John blinked, his lips curling up into a smile."Done," Cordy said, leaving just the collar button free, and looked up to see that meaningful smile on his face. Cordy naturally knew he was smiling because she was being possessive.Actually…Alright, she could admit she was possessive, and she was really a little concerned with two rivals in the house.One would never have been able to tell that of the four people in the house and three of them men, she was in the end the least threatening.It was just ever so slightly upsetting to know that.As they headed downstairs, they found Sean and Patrick sitting on the parlor couch.Sean was reading a newspaper, while Patrick was watching TV.They were not being particularly intimate, but there was an indescribable sense of harmony between them—probably like domestic bliss.Once Cordy and John arrived,

Cordy said nothing else—she could trust John that much since he raised Richard as a child and he knew the boy.However, she turned toward Sean. "Won't others feel discontent with passing the family estate to Dicky? It is a lot of money and power.""Leave that to me," Sean replied confidently.Cordy frowned—it almost felt like she was being paranoid, since between Sean and John, they could handle anything in the world."Don't worry," John assured her. "It'll all be alright when the time comes."Cordy nodded—since they could handle it between them, she had no reason to overthink this.She felt a sense of security that welled from the bottom of her heart and felt for the first time that she could rely on them without any concern.The dining table was a place of harmony until Sean's phone rang. "Hello."His expression was grim as he answered it, and the others could not help looking at him, sensing that something serious had happened.Still, Sean's reaction kept changing, and th

It had been a silly argument and refusal to give in that drove Jesse and his daughter Evelyn apart, and it was the greatest regret he had in life."I'm fine now, Cordy," he said quietly, still enfeebled having just regained consciousness.Cordy nodded quietly in his arms, tears covering her cheeks as she sobbed."Cordy." John walked up to take her out of Jesse's arms.Naturally, he was not jealous—he just knew that Cordy was embarrassed that she was crying like a baby.Cordy naturally seized the moment to lean on John's chest, hiding her face there to conceal her tears.Still, Jesse was a little worried, so John gave him an assuring look and mouthed, "She's just too happy."Jesse nodded in turn.Perhaps because he had just regained consciousness, he appeared more kindly and actually lacked his usual edge and imposing presence."How do you feel, Grandfather?" Sean asked."Just a little weak," Jesse replied. "Otherwise, I'm fine.""Should I call the rest of the family?""Not

John certainly had mixed emotions about staying, since he was really looking forward to Cordy's period to be over.And yet, he ended up the victim of yet another poorly-timed bombshell."I would like to be alone for a while," Jesse suddenly said, his voice still weary. "Not you, Sean. Stay for a moment.""Come on," John said, leading Cordy while putting a hand around her shoulder.Patrick glanced at Sean, who nodded—he more or less knew why his grandfather told him to stay.Patrick refrained from speaking in turn and followed Cordy and John out of the ward.Even the medical staff left, leaving just Jesse with Sean.Jesse started to sit up, and Sean hurried over to put a pillow vertically behind his back so that he could sit more comfortably.Nonetheless, Jesse soon asked bluntly, "What's the deal with you and Patrick Stuart?"Sean did not actually mention anything about him and Patrick while Jesse was in a coma. He knew his grandfather would not accept it and did not want to b
