"If you don't let go, it will hurt both you and Rebecca, and it's even more irresponsible towards Rebecca. If you don't want to be responsible, why did you desperately pursue her for a year? You've been boyfriend and girlfriend for more than two years. Youth is fleeting, and a woman's prime doesn't last forever. You shouldn't use your infatuation to waste Rebecca's youth. When her beauty fades, what will she do if you despise her then? James, although our interactions haven't been deep, in my eyes, you're a man unlike Dad. You're self-made, possess a strong sense of responsibility, and are a true man, just like your brother. Of course, if you want to change my perception of you, that's also possible."
Julia spoke softly, discussing love and responsibility openly with James Horne for the first time.
