Chapter 612 - Our Differences (1) (2/2)
Kevin's gaze flickered for a moment. He still hasn't forgotten that Kanae's life after her lost has been extremely hard. However, that girl kept on putting a smile on her face, acting cheerful for those around her.
”I followed her out of interest and became attracted to her. At first, I see her just as an interesting person and decide to try asking for a mission from her then help her out. But as times goes on, I see her as my little sister, someone whom I need to protect. But it seems that my heart is following after her because of that,” Jason smiled.
At that time, he was in constant dullness in his family. He had reached the standard and acted out as the perfect successor of Wells Family, but there was no warmth given to him. Everyone acted like a stranger and never tried to cultivate any relationship.
All they cared for was the money and power they could get through building connections.
He was tired. On that fateful day, he had just clashed with Ivan once more because his cousin was pestering him. As usual, he would win the debate because he had better eloquence than that young man. However, his mood worsened, so he decided to walk around.
He had finished all of his jobs and there was nothing good to just stay in his home. It was then that he saw those two and met with them.
”But I abandoned the notion when I saw her fight in the battle in Lima School two years ago. At that time, I saw the great transformation she underwent and I know that I can never be on par with her anymore. I can't catch up with her anymore, so I don't even try it anymore. At that point, I only see her as my little sister, nothing more.”
Kevin listened to Jason's explanation as he thought about Kanae. While Jason's reason to get close to her was because he wanted to protect her, he wanted to get close to her because he felt comfortable with her. He cared about her wellbeing and he wanted her to stay by his side forever.
He looked at Jason. ”Are you stupid?”
”Kevin, please don't insult other people's feelings,” Jason was rather annoyed.
”If you're behind her, just chase after her and then stand beside her. Is there any need to think that you have to be always above your woman?” Kevin didn't really understand Jason's reasoning. Since he liked Kanae, he didn't really care about their difference in skill.
If he was behind her, he would work harder to chase after her and not became a burden for her. He would try to become much better. Even if it was not in the same field as her, it didn't matter. If he was above her, he would do his best to use his power to protect her. If his power was lacking, he would gain enough power so that he could stay with her.
When his position was still shaky because of his young age and inability, he worked even harder to make sure that his position was firm. At the same time, he maintained his relationship with her because he didn't want to lose her. He had his own goal, but at the same time, he had his own feelings.
He knew that he didn't want to let her go, but at the same time, he wanted her to be happy. When he had gotten the power to back him up, he chased her relentlessly, not wanting to lose her at all. He was determined to make sure that she could be happy when staying by his side.
Even though it was not easy, he would do his best to become the perfect one for her.
Even if he's not capable of doing everything, he would do his best.
That is his conviction.
