“Maybe you’ll become one soon,” said Grace. Valda Theller smiled. “Yeah, maybe soon.” However, she knew she was lying right now.
On the other hand, Jason looked at Brian and said, “Is Valda Theller really your girlfriend?”
“Could she be fake?” Brian asked in reply as if he was amused.
“You know full well whether she’s real or not,” said Jason. There were things he had seen through but would not expose.
Brian stopped what he was doing and looked at the person in front of him. “Valda Theller is my girlfriend, and I’ll transfer my feelings for Grace to her. You should be happy to see that, shouldn’t you?”
Jason’s eyes flickered. “I’d love to see that happen, of course. But are you sure that this woman can be your girlfriend?”
“She already is!” Brian answered.
Even though it was just an accident at the beginning, he now thought she was the most suitable candidate after getting to know her. When they returned to their seats, Grace and Valda Theller were talking and laughing.
Jason carefully set down the food for Grace. His gentleness surprised Valda Theller. The netizens said Emerald City’s Young master Reed was temperamental and ruthless, but he was so gentle to the person he loved that people knew how much he loved his wife at a glance.
It turned out that no matter how high and mighty a person was, they would become gentle when facing the one they loved.
“You must be hungry. Try and see if you like these. I’ll get something else if you don’t.” Brian’s voice rang in her ears.
“These will do,” Valda Theller said hurriedly.
Brian helped her cut a large steak into pieces before moving the plate in front of her.
“Ah, thank you,” she said subconsciously.
“Why are you thanking me? It’s what I’m supposed to do since I’m your boyfriend,” he said, lifting his fingers and gently tucking the locks of hair over her cheek behind her ear.
Valda Theller’s face reddened slightly. She knew everything was false, but her heart was still beating fast.
Valda Theller was already 70 to 80 percent full after eating the food. While she was eating, Brian was like the perfect boyfriend. He carefully told her how to eat something she had never eaten before and even bent over to fix her skirt when she got up after she finished eating…
Everything was like Cinderella’s dream. After finishing the meal, Brian said to Grace and Jason, “Excuse me, I have to bring Valda to meet some friends.”
“Okay, we’ll talk next time,” Grace said with a laugh.
After Brian walked away with Valda Theller, Jason looked at the smile on Grace’s lips and said, “Are you in a good mood?”
Grace said, “Yeah. Brian has found someone he loves now. I’m happy for him, and I have a feeling that Valda is also a good woman.”
The man’s beautiful peach blossom eyes glimmered slightly as Jason smiled. “Yeah, it’s indeed something worth feeling happy for.”
It was fine as long as she was happy. It did not matter if it was true.
Since it was Brian’s choice, he would let Brian go on with this.
“Let’s go home earlier. You’re pregnant and need an early rest,”
said Jason. “Okay, but… Honey, I’d like to have another slice of the cake earlier. It’s delicious,” said Grace.
Speaking of which, she had been having a sweet tooth for the past two months. Perhaps the little one she was carrying was a girl.
Having two sons and two daughters would be like having the best of both worlds.
“Alright, I’ll get it for you,” said Jason, his eyes full of love for her.
He wanted nothing but the best for the woman he could love with everything he had.
Valda Theller accompanied Brian to meet some people, and Brian also drank a lot of wine with them.
Valda Theller thought Brian had no choice but drink because he needed to socialize at first, but she later found that he seemed to be drinking on purpose. It was as if… he wanted to get drunk.
“Brian, you’ve had a lot to drink,” Valda Theller could not help but remind.
He looked at her and chuckled. “I can hold my liquor. This is nothing.”
She stared at him. He was smiling, but his eyes looked as if they were about to cry.
‘Is it because of… Grace?’ When she was eating just now, she could see that Grace was happy and Jason took great care of Outsiders would only think that the couple was loving and happy, but… how would Brian feel when he saw that?
“Why don’t we leave earlier? We’ve met… so many people anyway. Everyone in your circle probably knows I’m your girlfriend now,” said Valda Theller. However, her intuition told her that maybe the biggest reason he brought her to the banquet was to meet Grace.
‘Is our fake relationship just to show Grace?’
However, Brian shook his head and said, “There’s no need to leave early. I have to introduce some more friends to you. But… lend me your shoulder for a moment, will you?”
“Oh, okay,” she replied in a mutter.
Brian bent over and laid his head on her shoulder.
There was instantly a heavy feeling on her shoulders, and she could feel his warm breath on her neck.
Valda Theller suddenly felt that the man in front of her looked exhausted, and she seemed to have become his only support at the moment.
She raised her hand slowly to his back and patted him gently as if Ter she was soothing him.
For some reason, she wanted to do that.
Brian stiffened slightly before relaxing. He did not like women touching him too intimately, but he did not want to stop her.
Perhaps he needed her to soothe him like that right now, or perhaps… it was because she was his girlfriend.
“Valda, thank you,” he murmured.
“Huh?” Valda Theller’s face turned red again. “You… You don’t need to thank me. It’s what I’m supposed to do,” she stammered without thinking.
He smiled. She always seemed to lighten his mood. “You’re right. We’re currently a couple. Let me lean on you a little longer.”
He continued to lean quietly on her shoulder. Time seemed to have stood still.
Just like that, in one corner of the banquet hall, a man quietly leaned on a woman’s shoulder. The woman patted his back with one hand. It was sweet, serene, and as beautiful as a painting. When the banquet ended, Valda Theller had lost track of how much Brian had drunk. Brian even helped her drink the wine they offered her.
Valda Theller wanted to say she could drink a little bit of alcohol.
However, Brian did not sway like those drunkards even after drinking so much wine. He was still sober and could chat with others. Even so, Valda Theller could see the intoxicated look in Brian’s eyes when she looked at them carefully.
The driver was already waiting outside when they left the banquet. The two got into the car, and Brian told the driver to drive to Valda Theller’s place first.
As the car slowly drove away from the venue, Brian leaned heavily on the back seat and closed his eyes.
Only now could he allow himself to be numbed by alcohol.
Valda Theller looked at Brian beside her. There was no light in the car. The only light source was the street lamps and moonlight.
However, she could see his face clearly.
He had exquisite features and a defined face. He was the crown prince of the entertainment industry.
Many people who dreamed of stardom hoped he could fall for them. That way, they could rise to the top. Many popular celebrities also hoped they could get better resources from him.
It was not easy for ordinary people to see him, and the man was now sitting by her side.
Valda Theller looked at Brian and could not help falling into a trance. She sometimes found it unbelievable when she thought about it. She got in touch with Brian in such a way.
“Thank you for today.” Brian’s voice rang suddenly. Although his eyes were still closed as if he was taking a nap, it was obvious that he was not really asleep.
“What’s there to thank me for? Besides, you introduced me to many people today. Speaking of, I should thank you,” said Valda Theller. Brian was undoubtedly helping her to expand her network.
Brian murmured, “Speaking of which, your performance today is even better than I expected. By the way, what did you and Grace talk about when Jason and I went to get food?”
“We just talked about you. Grace said you’re a nice guy. Then I said I was lucky to be your girlfriend.
