There were actually a lot of things swirling in his head, but he didnt know how to express himself.
In fact, he should be happy with Victors decision. Finally, he decided to move on from the past and build a new life. He had already suffered for four years. Hence, it must be time for him to find his happiness again.
However, the problem was that even though this news should be a good one, Carson couldnt see a trace of happiness in Victor. It was as if this wasnt a big deal at all.
Instead, from what he could see, Victor hadnt really moved on. He didnt know why he suddenly decided to remarry again, but one thing was for sure. Victor was getting more depressed than ever.
Moreover, when he heard that Victor was going to marry Susan,
Rachels face popped up in his mind. With her looks, if only she behaved obediently, she could easily win the hearts of many men.
However, she refused to submit to any of them. Even if someone put a knife on her neck, she would still be unwilling to admit defeat.
In the past, he thought that Rachel was just simply unruly and irrational.

But later on, after Victor and Rachel got divorced, he had the opportunity to have more contact with her. That was when he realized that this woman wasnt simple, and she was actually completely different from how he had known her before. In short, his impression of her became a lot better.
Unfortunately, later on, Rachel died.
Now that she was gone, Carson realized how he admired her very much.
Everyone who met Susan said that she looked like Rachel, as if they were somehow connected. However, Carson didnt think so. In fact, the first time he saw her, he told Victor that Susan didnt look Like
Rachel at all.
For someone who was able to know Rachel better, Carson could confidently say that she and Susan were very different in nature.

.
Susan was like a fragile flower growing in a greenhouse. She was so delicate that people would feel sorry for her.
Rachel, on the other hand, was like a wild rose that could struggle even in the wildest climate. Against a vast expanse of white snow, she would never bend her roots, and her red petals would still glow beautifully. She was not afraid of any harsh wind or rain, nor did she rely on others to survive.
Of course, Carson would disagree that Susan and Rachel were similar.
At this time, Carson poured himself another glass of red wine. Then, after a brief moment of silence, he raised his glass and said,
Congratulations to you two. Unfortunately, I have something to deal with on a business trip next Wednesday, so I wont be able to attend the wedding. Ill just ask someone to send my gift to you on that day.
After giving his message, he raised his head and drank the wine.
The truth was that he didnt need to go on that business trip himself. After all, his brothers and sister were much capable to represent their company to such events. Any of them was better than him, a playboy who only knew how to eat, drink, and play. Even
Victor was aware of that.
However, Carson had to make an excuse because he didnt want to take part in this wedding.
If it was in the past, he would even volunteer as Victors best man.
But the mere thought of Victor marrying Susan wasnt something that he could watch. At the back of his mind, there was a painting of the wild rose swaying in the snow.
