551 Chapter 389: Love of a Lifetime (Chinese Valentine's Day Special) [2/3]
The middle-aged man said disapprovingly.
"I didn't ask you to give up on Shanna. Shanna is a good girl. You can still be with her after you get married to Elena."
He said proudly.
"What's wrong with a man marrying a few wives?!
"Especially an outstanding man like you.
"You're the pillar of the blacksmith shop, and even Lord Richard treats you differently.
Your future potential is limitless! You can't just marry Shanna in your life. You can have other girls, right?
"If that's the case, why can't you marry Elena?
"If you're worried that Shanna won't agree, it's fine. I'll help you talk to her. Trust me, she'll understand... "
Uncle Ode's retort startled Sam.
Sam slowly shook his head at the middle-aged man after he pondered.
"Uncle Ode… I think you misunderstood me.
"There are several beautiful girls in this world. However, that has nothing to do with me.
"I only want Shanna.
"She is enough."
Happiness filled his face as he spoke.
"Shanna is my everything.
"In this world, no girl can compare to her. No…"
The middle-aged man's expression finally stiffened.
He looked at him in confusion.
Their eyes met. Ode could only see the unwavering love in Sam's eyes.
The mountains and seas collapsed, and one could not move.
The middle-aged man, who did not believe anyone could resist such temptation, fell silent.
He smiled bitterly after a long time.
"Maybe I underestimated you, Sam."
He reached out and patted his shoulder.
"Shanna is a good girl. The goddess must have blessed her to win your favor."
Sam smiled and shook his head.
"No, Uncle Ode, to be able to be with Shana… It's my honor.
"Without her, I might have already become a rotten corpse."
"She is my light."
A moment later, the middle-aged man watched the figure disappear at the end of the street with light footsteps. Inexplicable envy engulfed his eyes.
"Loving someone so firmly must be very blissful."
He lowered his head after Sam disappeared and pulled up his sleeve sparingly. He tied an impurity-filled crystal bracelet around his wrist.
His eyes revealed a hint of reminiscence…

"Shanna, Sam will become a big shot in the future.
"He might marry you. But he might not only have one wife.
"Which of those big shots doesn't have a few women?
"Besides, with your situation, staying with him will only delay him…
"Sam is now a top figure in Twilight City. He often misses home for a few days. Doesn't that mean something?
"The broader difference in status between you, the harder it will be to maintain this relationship.
"Shanna, maybe you haven't realized yet. But Sam has gradually forgotten about you. He has a better life now. He won't put you first anymore… You're no longer that important to him.
"And as you know, he met a girl called Elena some time ago. That girl likes him very much.
"She has bright eyes and can play a musical instrument called the Kronen. Her singing is lovely, and her father is a big shot in the logistics department.
"They're the most compatible pair..."
In a brightly lit room, a young man in his early twenties looked at a girl as she sat on a stool with unfocused eyes.
The young man was tall and had a shiny golden haired-head.
Intoxication filled his eyes.
He emphasized his tone and tried to increase his persuasiveness.
"I'm different, Shanna. You're the only one I want in my life.
"I swear to the goddess that from the day I saw you, I have engraved your appearance in my soul… You are the only love of my life.
"I've already become an employee of the food workshop. I'll work hard and earn money to treat your eyes. I'll accompany you every day after work.
"There will never be a situation where one will neglect you for many days!
"Shanna..."
Shana was silent for a long time and slowly raised her head when she heard his voice and looked at the figure before her.
Her tone was firm.
"Daniel, I'm sorry. Please forgive my directness… Sam isn't the kind of person you're talking about.
"In the future, please don't say anything about Sam in front of me. I don't like it.
"Sam is my lover and my only one.
"Other than him, I will never fall in love with anyone else in this life, none, even in the next life.
"Daniel, since we've known each other for a few years and you've helped Sam and me a lot, I'll pretend that nothing happened today. You can leave."
The boy raised his voice unwillingly.
"Shanna, don't you understand? Love is mutual! Sam could be holding hands with Elena right now while they watched the sun rise and set outside the city!
"Otherwise, why hasn't he returned for a week?
"Although the blacksmith shop is busy, it's impossible that he can't spare any time!
"Today is still your birthday!
"I can always be with you…"
The girl's expression turned cold.
"Daniel, I'm warning you for the last time, don't say anything about Sam!!
"You don't have to worry about how Sam does things!
"I won't accept you even if Sam comes home over a month, a year, or forever!"
