Chapter 817 We're All The Same

Upon hearing this, Damion put away his phone and looked down at Ivy. "There's no problem with you

wanting to go to the best university. Don't apologize for it. I'm happy to see you make that choice,

understand?" Ivy nodded, but she still lacked confidence.

She didn't know how Damion would view her decision or if he would think she was just using him. Even

though they had talked about it before, when a better option came along, she didn't think twice and

made the decision without considering his feelings.

Damion could tell what was on Ivy's mind and reached out to rub her head gently. "I'll be happy

watching you soar higher and higher. Don't limit yourself." Ivy nodded absentmindedly before suddenly

saying, "It's like a kite, isn't it? No matter how high I fly, the string is still in your hands."

Damion chuckled at this unexpected analogy but realized that people usually looked at things from their

own perspective first. Most people wanted to be the one holding onto the kite string themselves.

However, from Ivy's expression, he could tell that if he were holding onto that string instead of her

doing so herself, then she wouldn't mind at all.

"But," Damion continued seriously, "if you ever want to fly away on your own, then I'll cut the string."

This statement left Ivy feeling conflicted as she struggled with mixed emotions towards Damion's

generosity which made her feel unhappy rather than pleased about his offer of support for her dreams.

He was able to let her go so easily, which meant one thing: she wasn't important to him. She could

leave at any time and he wouldn't try to stop her. Even if she did leave, he wouldn't have any thoughts

about it. This was a fatal blow for Ivy. The more she thought about it, the sadder she became.

Ivy tried hard not to show her emotions. It would be too embarrassing for her if she did. "I understand,"

she said finally, "if that day ever comes, I'll definitely let you know."

Despite Ivy's efforts to suppress her emotions, they were still difficult to conceal. She felt very sad -

really very sad - about Damion's words.

Damion's words had hit Ivy hard and made her voice tremble with emotion.

Suddenly standing up from the couch, Ivy said abruptly, "Damion, I need to use the restroom."

Damion frowned but before he could say anything, Casey spoke up from the opposite couch, "It's over

there."

Casey pointed in a direction for Ivy and told her where it was so that she could go by herself.

She thanked Casey gratefully as she headed off towards the restroom without looking back once. Belongs to © n0velDrama.Org.

Damion's gaze had been fixed on Ivy's back until she closed the door, cutting off his view. He then

turned to look at Casey.

"What do you want me to do?" Casey said. "The poor girl is about to cry. Don't you think she deserves

a chance to let it out? You're being stingy."

"You know that's not what I meant," Damion replied. "If I don't talk to her and clear things up, she'll be

left with these emotions and who knows where her thoughts will lead her."

Casey tossed her phone aside and leaned forward, looking seriously at Damion. "Damion, I'm asking

you seriously now: Do you like this girl?"

Damion didn't answer the question.

In fact, he couldn't answer it himself.

He wasn't sure what kind of feelings he had for Ivy.

Was it love?

It didn't really feel like it.

But if he only felt sorry for her, that didn't seem quite right either.

Seeing that Damion was silent, Casey chuckled and said, "Come on, Damion, just admit it. You like this

girl."

Damion frowned at Casey's hasty conclusion and couldn't agree with it.

But Casey didn't need his agreement anyway. She continued speaking on her own accord, "Don't tell

me your sudden kindness towards this girl is purely altruistic? Although we all know that among our

group of friends you're the gentlest one around here, but still…you're not exactly a philanthropist either!

So why are you so kind-hearted towards this girl? There must be some ulterior motive behind your

actions."

Casey's words left Damion speechless.

He squinted his eyes, feeling an urge to shut Casey's mouth up right now. If she kept talking like this,

he might have to face a truth that he couldn't anticipate. Maybe it would be a dirty and shady truth.

Casey noticed Damion's serious expression and didn't hold back. "Damion, have you thought about it?

Capital is not an easy place to survive in. The temptations there are much bigger than here. You let this

girl out for four years, and if she continues her education for seven or eight years, who knows what

could happen? She's only twenty now, young with endless possibilities. Are you willing to wait for her

all these years?"

Damion fell silent.

He had never thought about what Casey just said before nor did he ever consider such a situation

could happen.

But hearing Casey say it out loud made him realize that he was overly confident before.

The reason why he didn't think too much about the future was when Ivy looked at him with those eyes

of hers, she had already laid bare all her emotions in front of him. This made Damion understand how

special he was to Ivy.

Because of this realization, Damion didn't need to imagine anything else anymore. He only needed to

do what he should do best while letting everything else unfold naturally.

However, things took an unexpected turn now. Something that even Damion couldn't anticipate

happened suddenly and caught him off guard.

Even, it can be said that he was caught off guard by the beating.

Casey gave Damion ample time to think before finally saying, "Damion, I've known you since I was

born. No one knows you better than me. What I want to tell you is that if you're really sure about her,

don't cut ties."

Damion snapped out of his thoughts and looked at Casey. "You're thinking too much. It's not that

serious."

But Casey held up a finger and waved it in front of Damion's face. "No, don't be so blindly confident.

Birds of a feather flock together and we all have the same attitude towards love. Once we find true

love, we go all in and become devoted. Look at my three brothers, Eden and Ben - they were all single

for over 20 years until they found their true loves and became doting husbands overnight. So don't

think you're exempt from this behavior because we are all cut from the same cloth."
