Chapter 853:
“How exactly is it different?” Myron pressed, genuinely curious.
Giffard opened his mouth to explain, but then found himself at a loss for words.
The silence stretched between them as he realized the uncomfortable truth.
There really wasn’t any difference at all.
Deep down, he’d been harboring hope that after she and Brandon split up, he might finally have his chance with her.
But the reality was that long ago, when she was still recovering in the hospital, she had already rejected him with absolute clarity. There had been no confusion, no mixed signals.
He’d been clinging to false hope all this time.
After a long, heavy pause, Giffard finally spoke again. “Did she ask you to come talk to me p>
“No,” Myron answered simply, his voice steady and honest.
Giffard’s eyes narrowed with doubt. He wasn’t buying it that easily.
Myron let out a long, weary sigh. “Giffard, she doesn’t want to see you get hurt. She’s not forcing me to have this conversation with you either. The truth is, she’s caught in an impossible situation right now. She’s torn between caring about your feelings and following her own heart p>
Giffard remained silent, studying Myron’s face as if he could decode the truth hidden behind his words.
Myron didn’t look away. He met Giffard’s searching gaze without flinching, letting his sincerity speak for itself.

Giffard’s eyes went wide with surprise. He opened his mouth to respond but found himself completely speechless.

“Sometimes,” Myron said with gentle understanding, “accepting help from others and being open to new possibilities takes real courage and maturity p>
Meanwhile, Charles was still chatting animatedly with Alexia nearby, the two of them taking turns criticizing Brandon and defending Millie against the nasty comments flooding the internet.
As Giffard watched them together, something clicked into place. He was seeing a completely different side of Charles—someone who had grown and changed in ways he hadn’t noticed before.
Charles wasn’t the same reckless, impulsive person he used to be. He’d learned to channel his emotions in healthier directions.
The realization hit Giffard like a splash of cold water. He was the one who was truly stuck. He was the one who couldn’t move forward.
“I’m planning to ask Millie to marry me,” Myron said quietly beside him. “I want us to have a proper wedding ceremony, something beautiful that she’ll always remember p>
Giffard continued watching Charles and Alexia, not turning around to face Myron. “Millie’s father passed away many years ago,” Myron continued, his voice soft with emotion. “At our wedding, I would be honored if you would walk her down the aisle as her family. I’d like you to take her hand, escort her to me, and officially give her away p>
