James rolled his eyes at him, "Ben, are you stupid?"
"You think in a wrong way." James guided him gently as an adviser, "Do you think you have the strength to chase after her? Tell me honestly."
Benjamin glanced at James and nodded lightly, "Mm."
"Do you think you are old now?"
Benjamin pursed his thin lips and then said helplessly, "I don't think so."
"Then, ignoring the fact that you and Lawrence are relatives, who do you think is more capable? You or him?"
Benjamin frowned, "Do you think... I need to answer this question?"
"Of course you're more capable, right? Moreover." James continued to ask, "Is love selfish?"
"It... seems to be."
James immediately reached out his right forefinger and shook it twice, "No, love is truly
selfish! Sometimes, if you stand in the position of a bystander, you may really feel that love is dispensable, and sometimes you may feel that it is troublesome. But if you really fall in love with someone, will you think that love is a trouble? You won't, right?"
"Yeah."
"So." James snorted and continued, "It doesn't matter who met her first."
As soon as he said this, Benjamin couldn't help but say, "In fact, it seems that I met her first."
James and Issac, who had been listening to their conversation, were both stunned for a moment, "What do you mean?"
Benjamin shook his head, "Let's not talk about this." After that, he looked at James, "Go on."
James nodded, "Alright. As you just said, it's impossible for you to give up. Since it's impossible, why don't you pursue your beloved girl? For example, when we are doing business, you have to buy a piece of land. Of course, my description may not be very appropriate, but this is what I mean. You want to buy a piece of land, but you're not the only one who will bid for it, right?"
She... was the only one he loved.
"Isaac..." Benjamin felt a little guilty, "Don't say that."
Isaac gave a faint smile, "I didn't mean to tell you how miserable I am. I just want to tell you that you should seize this opportunity."
After being silent for a while, Benjamin nodded lightly, "I see."
Seeing that the atmosphere was somewhat sad just now, James poured the wine, "Let's drink. Anyway, Ben, just do what you want and don't think about anything. Chasing after a girl is like going to the battlefield. If you worry too much, you'll be the only injured one. Military counsellors are always cunning and scheming. Why do you have to think so much? Am I right?"
"Anyway... Ben, I think you didn't do anything wrong, really! I believe that Isaac has the same opinion. Otherwise, we would have blamed you. So, cheer up and do your best! Look! Your love is right in front of you. What you have to do now is to rush forward and get her bravely."
Hearing this, Benjamin smiled, "Stop kidding!" "Hey!" James pointed at Benjamin, "It's good that you're smiling. That's right! That's what you should do. You don't know how annoying you were when you looked so upset and sad." "Jimmy is right." Isaac said, "You're already a cold man. You don't know how frightening you looked just now. Anyway, you didn't go too far. You didn't do anything bad to Lawrence, did you?"
"Don't talk about this anymore." James handed wine glasses to Benjamin and Isaac, "Come on! Let's drink!"
