Sweet like Wine: Love Your Dimples Even More-Chapter 82 - 51: In the Hands of Fate

Why didn’t Gordon go down with Sean himself, or have someone send up a bowl of oatmeal?

He could entirely do so, but he didn’t.

Gordon was well aware that if the porridge was brought to the room by him or sent by someone else right now, Sean might not eat it.

But if it was brought to him personally by the owner of the Lochindaal Hotel.

Given Sean’s personality developed from a young age, he couldn’t possibly refuse.

Gordon didn’t ask Sean what happened, because when he entered, he immediately noticed the old newspaper in Sean’s hand.

Gordon knew there must be news of Sean’s mother’s death within it; Sean had already mentioned this.

If Sean were able to find any concrete evidence about events from more than ten years ago, it would undoubtedly be in the old newspaper he’s holding onto.

The reason for not being able to reunite with his sister must also be embedded in these newspapers.

After being a stand-up comedian for so many years, Gordon feared that in moments of excitement, he might say something he shouldn’t.

At the end of the day, deep down in Gordon’s heart, affirming the truth yet saying recognition is impossible seems very pretentious.

Nevertheless, Gordon didn’t express this thought openly.

Over the years of interaction, Sean has never once admitted he couldn’t handle something himself.

Coupled with Sean’s current state, Gordon knew there is certainly a hurdle he couldn’t overcome.

Rarely, Gordon restrained the usual aggressiveness in his language.

This was precisely the reason he worried upfront and wanted to accompany Sean.

All along, Gordo, such a heavyweight agent, naturally organizes everything meticulously without waiting for the artist to speak up.

Gordon quickly found the news images of that murder case from nineteen years ago.

It didn’t take much effort to understand the ins and outs of the events.

Sean came eagerly to Islay seeking "evidence." He wants Summer to believe the connection between them, helping Summer retrieve childhood memories, yet he immediately stumbled upon such cruel facts.

Not only Sean, even Gordon felt somewhat on the verge of collapse upon seeing the news.

The matter is not complex, yet the plot feels somewhat surreal.

Such a story seems a bit misplaced in real life.

But Gordon, having told so many stories, understands that life itself is often more "spectacular" than television dramas.

How is he supposed to help Sean deal with this matter?

Gordon could undoubtedly lay all the facts before Summer Fairmont.

Then say: See, this is you when you were young, this deceased person is your mother, don’t deny it, Sean is your brother; he has been looking for you for many years, you should recognize him.

This is the quickest and most straightforward way to solve the problem.

But Gordon knows, if he really did this, Sean would never forgive him for a lifetime.

Including himself, he would also feel that this tarnishes his illustrious image.

Then, what other solution is there?

A moment ago, Gordon was full of confidence declaring he could help Sean sort things out; now, he’s equally helpless.

If he weren’t too overweight to sit cross-legged, Gordon might ponder slowly in the room; after all, there’s still time.

Gordon, like Hieronymus, took it for granted.

Time is not a matter of assuming you have it when you think you do.

Sean had just sat down on the first floor when Summer walked into Lochindaal.

This place not only provides accommodation but is also a restaurant and bar frequented by locals of Port Charlotte.

Summer Fairmont was urgency-driven to return to Islay not only to bid farewell to the past but also because she needed to urgently discuss a new whiskey label design with the independent whiskey bottler she often collaborates with today.

After drinking all day yesterday, Summer was finally a bit tipsy, directly falling asleep in the cellar. 𝚏𝕣𝕖𝚎𝚠𝚎𝚋𝚗𝐨𝐯𝕖𝕝.𝕔𝐨𝕞

Whenever Summer drank until she fell asleep, she could forget some displeasing matters.

For instance, the scene of the accident during the first meeting with Sean.

Under the pouring of 96-degree Water of Life, upon waking, Summer was less resistant to Sean.

Upon meeting, he immediately remarked how much Summer resembled his mother.

If this was meant as a pickup line, it’s an absolute multi-car accident scene.

Sean was referring to his own mother; to Summer’s view, it was a matter unrelated to her.
