Damion was truly convinced by Casey's words. Indeed, from the facts presented, Casey was right. Even she herself was in the same situation.
Damion lightly tugged at the corner of his mouth and said, "Looks like you've really grown up and are able to think about things like this."
Casey remained silent.
Why did she feel like Damion was mocking her? Wasn't he basically saying that she had no brains?
Staring angrily at Damion, Casey said, "Don't act all innocent after taking advantage of me. I treat you no differently than my own brothers and that's why I'm telling you these things."
When did Casey ever speak so seriously with someone? If her three brothers found out about this, they would be shocked.
Damion curved his lips into a smile and said, "Okay then, thank you for your advice."
Casey smirked arrogantly and waved her hand saying, "No problem at all. We're family after all. There's no need to be so polite."
It only took three seconds for them to return to their usual selves - with Casey being her usual self-centered self while Damion remained grateful towards her despite it all.
Casey's words had indeed made Damion start thinking deeply about something. Regardless of anything else though, there was one thing that Casey had been right about.
He needed to re-examine his position on Ivy. If he only saw her as a young girl, felt sorry for her, and wanted to help her out, Damion believed that even he couldn't convince himself with this reasoning. Instead, he might have to seriously analyze the extent of his feelings for Ivy.
But there was one thing that Damion was certain of: no matter how he felt about Ivy, what he had to do was make sure she understood that she would have a bright future and that her life choices were hers alone. She didn't need to make any decisions based on him, and all she had to do was follow her heart.
If she decided that being a lazy bum without any goals or aspirations suited her best and just lay in bed every day waiting for death, then Damion could accept it. But from what he knew of Ivy's personality, this wasn't the case.
So instead, he would help open up new opportunities for her so she could boldly explore the world around her. Once Damion realized this point clearly in his mind, all doubts vanished.
"Even if it takes seven or eight years or I cut the kite string," said Damion confidently, "she'll always come back to me."
Casey looked at him incredulously. It was the first time Casey heard such domineering words from him.
Unable to resist herself any longer, Casey gave him a thumbs-up and exclaimed, "Damion! Who knew you were such an alpha male!"
Damion glanced at Casey before standing up and walking towards the bathroom.
The young girl had been inside for quite some time, and without needing to ask, he knew she must be crying in there.
He had to go in and talk to her. Otherwise, her tears would have been shed in vain.
Damion knocked on the bathroom door and asked, "Ivy, are you okay?"
Ivy was indeed crying inside the bathroom. However, she didn't dare cry too hard for fear of being found out. She looked pitiful with her tear-streaked face.
But it was hard to hide the redness of her eyes after crying for so long. She splashed water on her face repeatedly but couldn't seem to get rid of it.
When Ivy heard Damion's voice outside the door, she became even more flustered. She quickly wiped away her tears with a tissue and turned around to open the door.
