I’m Someone Else

Thomas found himself in a dilemma. Establishing a family is no easy task! Leaving aside the fact that I don’t have that much energy, my circumstances don’t allow for it either. I’m an orphan without parents or siblings; the only family I have is my godsister, Chloe. Well, there is also that eccentric old man who raised me. But I’ve returned to Irieson for such a long time and have asked my buddies Sean and William to look for his whereabouts, and yet no trace of him could be found at all, as if he had vanished into thin air. “Quincy, I’ll be honest with you. I don’t want to establish a family, nor do I want to be tied down. That being said, I have to fulfill the one-year agreement with the Flynns. Can you give me some time to think it through? I’ll let you know tomorrow.”

“Alright, Thomas. Just remember that we’re friends. Whatever choice you make, you can tell me whatever you need.”

“Okay.”

After hanging up the phone, Thomas started practicing again. Although there were still no signs of a breakthrough, he believed in the power of perseverance. As long as I work hard and diligently enough, the day will come when I’ll make a breakthrough.

The next morning, he dropped off Olivia at Keyshire Property and returned to the Northpine Villa alone. He needed to think carefully about whether to establish the Clifford Family or not. After pondering for a long time, however, he still couldn’t make up his mind. He took out the jade angel pendant that Zachary had left him back then. “Zach, what do you think I should do? I must take revenge on the Flynns and the Wilkersons.”

Zachary’s kind and sincere expression appeared before his eyes. “Thomas, you should establish your own family, of course!”

His purpose in establishing a family wasn’t to fight against other forces, but to ensure that even after his death, he could still protect those he cared about—Chloe and Olivia, for instance. After all, I have only ten years left to live. I can protect them while I’m alive, but what about ten years later? What if I’m dead? Who is going to protect them then? Who is going to stand up for them if they get bullied? Yes, the Mortons, the Peralta Family, Quincy, and the others are my friends, and they all can take care of Chloe for me. But they’re not my own family, so they can never provide the same sense
