Iris Harris took the water and sat dazedly on the sofa. Lady Hyde came over and sat next to her.
She looked at Iris Harris's pale profile and sighed softly.
"Iris..." she asked with some sadness, "why must Brandan marry you? How can someone like him endure being forced by you... Aren't you making him dislike you even more by doing this?"
"..."
Iris Harris kept her head down and didn't make a sound.
Lady Hyde sighed, "Why don't you wait? He will fall in love with you..."
Iris Harris slowly raised her head, her gaze resting on a certain point in the air, appearing somewhat vacant.
"I can't wait any longer."
She spoke softly, "Auntie, I'm really tired... I can't wait any longer..."
It's been ten years already.
A whole ten years...
She was so scared, afraid she really wouldn't be able to wait any longer.
Afraid she would give up halfway, breaking her promise with Brandan Hyde.
She could only let Brandan Hyde marry her, giving her the assurance to keep waiting forever.
