“What are you looking for?” he asked.
“Where are the two bodyguards? I haven’t seen them,” she asked.
“I gave them the day off today. I have nothing to do and wanted to spend some time alone with you,”
Brian Hart said.
Valda Theller remained silent and followed Brian Hart to the dining table. The breakfast was already laid out on the table, consisting of some Chinese dishes, all of which were to her taste. “Try it,” Brian Hart said.
Valda Theller ate her breakfast quietly, even though she could feel his gaze on her from time to time, even when she lowered her head.
“Do you have any place you want to go today?” Brian Hart suddenly asked. “If you have somewhere you want to go, I can take you there…”
“But I can’t go alone, can 1?” she asked in response.
“If you were imprisoned in a cage, would you like the cage and refuse to leave?” she retorted.
He looked at her with a steady gaze, his thin lips pursed.
“Brian Hart, there is no point in keeping me locked up in this villa. No one knows if there is a child or not, but one thing is clear: it’s already past the time to take birth control pills, and I couldn’t have secretly taken them without you knowing. If you’re afraid that I’ll have an abortion without telling you if I get pregnant, then you don’t have to worry. I will give birth to the child, so I hope you can agree to my request: the custody of the child belongs to me, and you won’t come to fight for it. The child will live with me, and if the child wants to live with you in the future, then that’s fine too. I will respect the child’s choice. During the time we live together, you and your family can come to visit the child, and I won’t stop you.”
Brian Hart listened to Valda Theller’s long speech. “You’ve said so much, thought so much, but you haven’t thought about living together with the child and raising it together, have you?” he said.
“We’re not suitable for marriage, and I don’t want our mutual affection to be wasted on jealousy and quarrels after marriage,” she said, tightening her grip on the chopsticks.
He wouldn’t know how much courage it took for her to say these things about her thoughts and plans for the future child.
He wouldn’t know how much confusion and fear she had when she thought about raising a child alone in the future.
These days, she had been thinking repeatedly about what was the best choice for the future. Although marrying him would seem better to outsiders than raising a child alone, she was too afraid of being withhim day and night. Her love for him would only grow deeper, and the deeper it grew, the easier it would be for her to lose herself.
So she wanted to escape, no matter what, she wanted to escape from him!
“If you really want to leave here, you can!” Brian Hart’s voice rang out.
Valda Theller looked at him in surprise. “Really?”
“Just that I hope you can accompany me to a place,” he said.
“Where?” she asked, puzzled.
And when Valda Theller followed Brian Hart to their destination, she was a little stunned.
It was an old amusement park in Emerald City, with a history of thirty or forty years. Most of the equipment inside was also quite old, but because the prices were cheap, only 2 or 3 yuan for a ride, compared to the popular large-scale amusement parks nowadays, where a ride could cost tens of yuan, it was much better, so there were still many families who brought their children here to play.
Valda Theller had been here when she was a child. At that time, the amusement park in Emerald City was not as big as it is now, and the amusement facilities here were considered good at that time.
“You don’t want me to accompany you to play here, do you?” Valda Theller said.
“No, just a walk,” Brian Hart said. “We’re not suitable for riding those facilities anyway.”
As he spoke, he took her hand and walked towards the amusement park.
Volda Theller hesitated for a moment, but ultimately did not pull her hand back.
The two of them entered the amusement park, and Brian Hart asked, “Don’t you want to know why I asked you to come here with me?”
“If you wanted to tell me, you would have. If you don’t want to, then I don’t need to ask. Besides, everyone has things they don’t want to talk about,” Valda Theller replied.
“What about you? Have you been here before?” he asked.
“I came here a lot when I was a child,” Valda Theller said. “There were a lot of interest classes near the amusement park back then. When my parents were still alive, they signed me up for some of them. Every weekend, I would go to the interest classes and my parents would bring me here to play a few rides before taking me home.”
A hint of envy appeared in his eyes. “You must have been very happy”
“I was indeed very happy,” she said. Those joyful moments she spent with her parents were now her most precious memories.
As they walked into the amusement park, many parents were there with their children, mostly preschool to elementary school age.
Watching the children follow their parents, Valda Theller’s eyes couldn’t help but become moist. The memories of being with Her parents here, which she thought had become blurred, now seemed to be becoming clearer and clearer.
“What’s wrong? Your eyes are red,” Brian Hart said, touching her eyes with some tenderness. “I didn’t bring you here to make you cry.”
“I just thought of the scenes when I was with my parents before,” Valda Theller said. “I’m fine, but thank you for bringing me here and reminding me of so many things I did with my parents.”
She said, pulling Brian Hart’s hand. “Let’s continue walking.” Then she walked ahead.
Brian Hart glanced at his fingers, which still retained the warmth of her touch. He lifted his feet and caught up with her.
When the two of them arrived at a mobile ice cream truck, Valda Theller looked at the displayed ice cream, which looked like the kind she had when she was a child, and it made her nostalgic.
“Two please,” Brian Hart said to the ice cream vendor.
Two ice creams came into Brian Hart’s hands, and he handed one to her.
She looked a little dazed and did not take it. “Don’t you want to eat it?” he asked.
“No,” she denied, taking the ice cream from his hand. “Thank you.”
As they ate their ice cream, Valda Theller occasionally glanced at Brian Hart.
“What’s wrong? Is there something I did?” he asked. She rarely looked at him like this these days, and it made him feel like he was back in the past.
Back then, she would always look at him, letting him know that she loved him.
“It’s just the first time I’ve seen you eat ice cream. It’s a bit… unexpected,” she said.
“Is it because you think I’m too high-class to eat this kind of ice cream? If you take away my family background and all the external factors, I’m just an ordinary person who eats ordinary things and likes ordinary things,” Brian Hart said, turning the ice cream in his hand. “I remember the first time I came to this amusement park, I sneaked out alone. I saw a few of my classmates here, but when they saw me, they didn’t play with me, but played together.”
“Is your relationship with your classmates not good?” she guessed.
“At that time, except for those who worshiped me in my circle, other classmates were actually afraid to approach me. Once, 1 played with classmate, but he accidentally bumped into me and scraped my arm. The next day, he transferred to another school,” Brian Hart said.
Valda Theller fell silent.
“It’s quite ridiculous, isn’t it? I didn’t even know that a small injury of mine would force a classmate to transfer schools. After that, many classmates were afraid to play with me, and gradually, I got used to it,” Brian Hart said.
Vakia Theller’s heart was filled with a wave of pain for this poor thing.
hyber orginal impression, she always thought that a scion like him would have everything he wanted in his childhood, and there would be Countless people around his trying to flatter him. How could there be any loneliness?
But now, she realized that some things were so different from what she had imagined.
“Later, I saw them eating this kind of ice cream, and I also wanted to eat it, so bought one. I don’t know why, but I just felt it was particularly delicious,” he sait “What happened next? Did you play alone in the amusement park? Didn’t your family come to find you?” Valda Theller asked.
“Of course, they did. They almost turned Emerald City upside down to find me. When they found me, my parents knew that I had sneaked here alone to play, so after a few days, they brought me here to play again.”
“Isn’t that good?”
“Is it good?” he sneered, “Yes, maybe in their eyes, it’s good. They have always spoiled me, so that day, they rented out the entire amusement park, and besides the staff, my family, servants, and bodyguards, there were no other visitors. To be precise, there was only me as a visitor!”
Valda Theller was stunned. She never thoug his parents would rent out the entire amusement park for him to play alone.
“That day, I played with all the facilities here and ate this ice cream again. But when I ate it for the second time, I didn’t think it was delicious anymore. Since then, I have never been to this amusement park again.”
Valda Theller looked at the man in front of her. The little boy he used to be was just a lonely child who longed for the company of friends.
But this simple thing for ordinary people seemed to be difficult for him.
“So at that time, I told myself that if I came for the third time, I would not come alone,” he said, his gaze falling on her.
She felt as if her heart had been hit hard, so….is this his third time here?
