“I can understand their thoughts, after all, Jasper likes the piano that their son plays. If they can get some favor from the Reed family through their son, then their family’s life can naturally be improved.
Actually, there’s nothing wrong with that, but… I hope the child won’t be affected.” Grace said.
She could understand the thoughts of people like the Abbott couple who lived at the bottom of society, but Lawrence, with his clear eyes, she didn’t want his clarity to turn into worldliness in the future.
“It depends on the child himself.” Jason said, he didn’t really care about Lawrence.
“What do the child’s parents do?” Grace asked, she hadn’t asked about these details before.
“His mother is a cleaner at that hotel, and his father is a transportation worker.” Jason said.
Grace pondered for a moment, and Jason said, “If Jasper really gets along with the child later on, then I will arrange another job for his parents, so their family’s conditions can naturally be improved.”
“What if things don’t go so well?” Grace asked. After all, today was only the first day they met, even though it seemed like Jasper quite liked Lawrence.
However, children are naturally fickle and who knows what the future holds!
“If it doesn’t work out, then it came from somewhere and will go back there,” Jason said indifferently. He naturally didn’t care about the fate of others.
“Jason, even if these two children don’t get along, don’t just kick them out right away,” said Grace. “Now that we plan to have Lawrence systematically learn piano, and he has a high talent for it, I think even if the two children don’t get along in the future, let Lawrence continue to learn piano. Otherwise, it would be a waste of his talent.”
“Do you want to properly nurture this child?” Jason raised his eyebrows.
“I’m just afraid that if this child falls from a high point to a low point again, their mentality will change. I don’t want Jasper’s actions to make this child’s fate worse than before,” said
Grace.
Jason’s eyes flickered slightly, then he smiled faintly and said, “Alright, whatever you say, we’ll do it that way.”
Grace’s eyebrows relaxed, “I wonder how Lawrence will turn out in the future. Jasper was also into piano when she was young, so she treats William with special care. Time flies, it’s been several years already. It feels like I’ll be old soon.”
The older the children get, the older she becomes.
“You’re not old at all,” Jason said, leaning down and placing his hands on either side of Grace’s body.
His handsome face drew closer to hers. “In my eyes, you’re still very young.”
“You always know how to say things that make me happy,” Grace murmured. “In a few years, I might start getting crow’s feet around my eyes, followed by gray hair and wrinkles…”
“So I’m also growing old with you slowly,” Jason said, as he leaned in and gently kissed Grace’s cheek.
“Grace, being able to grow old with you is the happiest thing for me. Thank you for not giving up on me and coming back with our child.”
Grace lifted her hands and wrapped them around Jason’s neck. “So should I also thank you for still being willing to fall in love with me, even after being hypnotized to forget our memories?”
“Then tonight, just thank me properly.” He continued to kiss her eyebrows, eyes, and nose…finally landing on her lips. His voice was hoarse as he said, “If I’m not satisfied, you won’t be able to leave…”
Even though they were an old married couple, Grace couldn’t resist his temptation.
To her, he always had such an irresistible charm that sometimes just a word or a glance from him could make her heart skip a beat.
He kissed her and she responded passionately.
Being able to grow old with him is also one of her happiest things, isn’t it?
Even if in the future, they have white hair and wrinkles, their love for each other will still remain!
Valda and Brian’s honeymoon trip was pretty good overall, except for the occasional awkward moment of being recognized while walking down the street.
And Valda also bought a lot of anime-related merchandise.
Although many things can be bought online, there is still a different feeling when personally selecting and purchasing them.
On the second to last day of their honeymoon, there happened to be a local anime convention. Visiting the convention was something Valda had planned in advance and was looking forward to.
“Are you really going to the anime convention?” Brian asked.
“Exactly, it would be a shame not to browse around since we have the time.” said Valda.
A flicker of hesitation crossed Brian’s face.
Valda shuddered at the thought of a certain possibility and asked, “Are you afraid that I’ll go to the anime convention and it will bring back bad memories?”
A rare expression of embarrassment appeared on his face.
Suddenly, she knew she had guessed correctly.
After all, she was once attacked at an anime convention. And when she was being attacked by others, he received news of Grace’s difficult childbirth and left without turning back.
At first, it was precisely because of this that she broke up with him once.
Valda smiled and said, “Do you think I’m such a stingy person?
The past is already behind me, and I know that you love me the most now. Your feelings for Grace are a thing of the past.”
She spoke and took his hand, “Alright, let’s go. If we don’t leave now, we’ll probably get stuck in heavy traffic later!”
He followed her footsteps with a dazed expression, his phoenix eyes lowered and fixed on her hand holding his. It was she who had pulled him out of the abyss, and from now on… she would always be there to pull him along.
Between them, there are still many years of life that they can spend together!
When we arrived at the venue of the comic convention, there were already a lot of people there.
However, most of the attendees were young people, and there weren’t many people over the age of
30.
Moreover, many young people are dressed in trendy and even exaggerated clothing, some even wearing heavy makeup, resembling characters from a comic book.
Squeezed among this group of anime enthusiasts, Valda feels a sense of her own lost youth.
The two of them were strolling along when suddenly Valda’s eyes lit up at a large display booth, and she found herself unable to move her feet.
“What’s wrong?” Brian asked.
“Among these prizes, the third prize is a set of rare comics,” Valda said. “I used to really like these comics and would read them at the library. They’re no longer available for purchase, so it’s surprising to see them here, but unfortunately they’re only being offered as a prize.”
If it’s for sale, she would like to buy it and keep it as a collection.
Although this type of comic book may not be worth much even if it goes out of print, it is still a keepsake at the very least.
This comic series can be considered as her initiation into drawing shoujo manga. Back then, when she first encountered this type of manga, she was deeply shocked.
I never knew that love stories could be expressed in this way.
Later on, she fell in love with drawing comics, which was actually related to the comics she used to read.
“So I’ll talk to the organizers and suggest replacing the third prize with something else, and then buy this set of comics,”
said Brian.
“Don’t do that, it’s not good. Maybe there are many people, like me, who actually like this third prize and are working hard to win it!” said Valda.
On the table, there were already several people who were preparing to participate in the competition and clearly aiming to win the prize.
The host is still keeping the atmosphere lively and inviting the audience on site to continue signing up enthusiastically.
“Then let’s go win this prize,” said Brian.
“Huh?”
Valda was stunned when she saw Brian raise his hand to apply for the competition.
Brian is already tall, making him stand out in a crowd. So when he raised his hand, the host immediately noticed him and invited him on stage.
Valda stared blankly as Brian went up on stage, only to belatedly come to her senses and realize that he was really going to compete for a prize?
This action seems to have nothing to do with him!
Brian’s appearance on stage immediately drew gasps of amazement from the group of girls below.
After all, the other contestants were all young people, and Brian clearly had an age difference with them.
However, this age difference gives him a mature charm, especially with the slight sense of detachment he carries, which adds to his mysterious aura.
“He’s so handsome!”
“Is this guy also an anime fan?”
The girls in the audience were already discussing, and some were taking out their phones to take pictures.
Valda looked at Brian on stage, knowing that he was doing something he wouldn’t have done before for her.
Finally, the number of contestants reached its limit, and the host began to ask each contestant their name, purpose of participation, whether they like anime, and their favorite anime character, etc.
When it was finally Brian’s turn, he simply stated his last name.
“So, Mr. Hart, what is your purpose for participating?” the host asked.
“My wife really wants the set of manga books for third prize, so I joined this competition,” Brian said.
The group of girls in the audience all felt a pang of regret when they heard Brian mention his wife.
“So, do you like anime?” the host asked again.
“It wasn’t anything special to begin with, and I didn’t particularly like it. However, my wife is a big fan, so under her influence, I gradually grew to like it too,” said Brian.
The girls in the audience immediately began to whisper and wonder what kind of woman this “wife”
really was.
The competition is divided into two aspects: “civil” and “martial”. In terms of “civil”, it naturally refers to answering questions.
The host’s questions were all about anime, some of which only experienced anime fans could answer.
Even Valda in the audience had to think for a while to answer some of the questions, and there were even some that she couldn’t answer.
However, what surprised Valda was that Brian was able to answer almost all of the questions, except for two that he didn’t answer. He was the first to start writing and finished answering almost all of the questions.
Even the host was a bit skeptical and couldn’t help but ask, “Are you really influenced by your wife and like anime? Then… may I ask how long you have liked it?”
