Cooper listened to Noah's words, remaining silent.
"Laugh at me if you want." Noah chuckled self-deprecatingly, "I've run away again."
"There's nothing funny about it," Cooper said coolly, "Everyone has their own choices and must pay the price for them. If there's anyone to laugh at, it should be me. If I hadn't been so short-sighted, we wouldn't be here today."
"Cooper, you shouldn't blame yourself like this. Yolanda told me your relationship broke down, and it's both your responsibility and hers. She didn't blame you." Noah patted Cooper on the shoulder, trying once more to persuade him, "Let it go, and let yourself go too."
"Brother, you don't need to say any more. This is the only thing I can do for her now, and I won't give up." Cooper remained resolute.
"Alright then, let me wish you good luck and that things go smoothly!" Noah smirked and went up to give Cooper a hug.
Cooper whispered, "All the best!"
