Chapter 1478 - 1519: Innately Cold and Indifferent

He looked strangely at his uncle, and his uncle said, "The May family’s people are indeed cold-hearted and unfeeling, just like between me and your father. Although we are brothers, there may not be much affection. I knew all along that your father lingered in dangerous places because of your mother, but I never tried to stop him. Even when he died, although I felt some sadness in my heart, I didn’t shed any tears. And now, you are the only blood relative I have, and in the future, everything of the May family will be inherited by you. But I have no feelings for you either. It’s merely because we have a blood connection that I keep you by my side."

His uncle’s words were very straightforward, but he felt no discomfort. Instead, such a conversation suited his temperament better.

"So, in this sense, what they said is actually true about you. This cold-heartedness and lack of feeling are also present in you. However, what they got wrong is that the family’s cold-heartedness is because they haven’t met the right person yet. Once they do, they might consider exchanging their life for it." His uncle said with a faint smile, "Like your father, he met your mother, so he gave his life to her."

He looked up at his uncle, "Then uncle, have you met the right person?"

"I have." Just as he said this, a hint of solitude flashed in his uncle’s eyes, something he had never seen before, "But I’m not the right person for her."

Later, he was led into the May family by his uncle, and finally saw the "right person" his uncle had mentioned. She was a very beautiful woman, even though she was already older, she gave off a serene and elegant aura. That woman rarely spoke, mostly just sat quietly like that, but in front of her, his uncle seemed different than usual.

In his uncle’s eyes, only that woman existed.

It was then that he first realized that his uncle was not just the person he appeared to be.

In the future, would he too meet the so-called "right person," and like his uncle, only have eyes for that person?

Jeremiah May’s fingers slowly slid down from his eyes, and his mind suddenly thought of that little guy he encountered in the courtyard this afternoon who desperately wanted to hug him.

It was the second time that little guy had rushed toward him insistently trying to hug him, even fearlessly facing his gaze, claiming it felt comfortable, which left him puzzled.

Would holding him really feel comfortable?

Then, Jeremiah May shook his head slightly, thinking he was being ridiculous, contemplating what that fool said, considering that fool’s words at all. What was wrong with him?

Just a foolish little girl, she would have no connection to him whatsoever. Even if in the future he met the so-called "right person," she definitely wouldn’t be that fool.

But... if one day, he met the right person, yet he wasn’t that person’s "right person," would he be just like his uncle?

A lifetime of seeking but never obtaining?

If it were like that, then it would be better not to meet them. Even if he spends a lifetime alone, what’s wrong with that? Being cold-hearted and unfeeling—how’s that anything bad?
