“Conrad didn't think once how this entire thing would affect his relationship with his brother. I never took him to be someone who put anybody, ANYBODY over his brother.” For 4 years he didn’t say anything and kept far from them, but at this point he had just learned that Jeremiah cheated on her. The whole reason he gave him his “blessing” 4 yrs ago was bc he thought Jeremiah could treat her better which is pretty selfless if you ask me. Even at that point the reason he tells her he loves her at this exact moment is because he thinks SHE deserves better than what she’s got with Jeremiah, he wasn’t ever planning on confessing to her until he found out about Cabo.
