Patrick looked at Cordy in disbelief.
He admitted that he had been pursuing her even in his dreams, but he never expected Cordy to say yes to him one day.
Cordy was like the bright moon in the night sky, a beautiful but unattainable goal.
His desire for her, the moon that he could never reach, could only exist in his own world.
But right now, his moon had suddenly agreed to try things out with him.
Was he hearing things?
He instinctively looked toward Sean.
Sean was the only other witness tonight, aside from him and Cordy.
There was a tinge of resignation in Sean's eyes until he felt Patrick looking at him dazedly, as if he were hallucinating.
He was hallucinating, right?!
After all, Sean was hoping against all hope that Patrick would end up with Cordy.
Now that Cordy had finally agreed, he was a very happy man.
Of course, Patrick clearly knew that Sean approved of him not because he was excellent, but because John was terrible.
There would not be disappointment without comparison.
To Sean, John was a two-timing b*st*rd who did not deserve forgiveness. Even if Patrick was not great, at the very least, he did not make mistakes of principle.
Sean looked back at Patrick and nodded, as if knowing what he was thinking.
In fact, Sean himself was taken by surprise.
However, it made sense.
Cordy should have given up on John and her affections for him long ago, especially since they had passed each other by long ago.
Sean silently turned to leave.
He had called Patrick here, and he admitted that he wanted to see Cordy and Patrick together.
He knew very well that the best way to forget about a past relationship was to begin a new one.
He had never been optimistic about Patrick, but he now realized it might have been due to his bias against Patrick.
If a man loved a woman so much that he was willing to change himself, what right did he have to doubt his sincerity?
Now that he had done his part, it was time for him to leave.
