After pausing for a moment, he looked at her and said, “Valda, aren’t you also gradually becoming stronger?”
“Me?” She paused for a moment, “Am I becoming stronger?”
“Yes, becoming stronger,” he said confidently. “If it were the old you, you probably wouldn’t be chasing after someone to apologize today.”
“That… that’s because…”
“Is it because you’re my girlfriend? If she insulted you, it’s like insulting me, right?” He seemed to have seen through everything everything?”
“That’s because your thoughts are written all over your face,” Brian said, then gently embraced Valda.
“You see, you’re becoming stronger for me, and I’ll become even stronger for you. Strong enough to shield you from the wind and rain, and to solve all your troubles!”
Valda leaned against Brian’s chest, and all the frustration she had been feeling just a moment ago disappeared.
Meeting him and falling in love with him feels really good! That’s what she was thinking at the moment.
“Alright, let’s go meet your parents quickly, or else they’ll have to wait for us for a long time,” Valda said.
When the two of them arrived at the private room, the old Mr. Hart and the old Mrs. Hart were already there.
It was a formal meeting over a meal.
Valda was a bit reserved at first, but she relaxed as time went on.
After finishing the meal, the old Mr. Hart and the old Mrs. Hart gave Valda gifts as a token of their meeting.
However, upon seeing the gifts in front of her, Valda found it difficult to accept them.
They were just too valuable!
The old Mr. Hart gave her a jade bracelet, which was said to be an antique. Even though Valda didn’t know much about jade, she could tell that it was worth a lot.
The old Mrs. Hart gave her a set of jewelry, with diamonds and yellow sapphires, which looked vintage and elegant.
“This… is too valuable, I cannot accept it,” said Valda.
“They are giving this to you because they value you. If you don’t accept it, it will put them in a difficult position,” Brian said on the side.
“But…”
Valda wanted to say something more, but Mrs. Hart interrupted her, saying, “Valda, this gift was given to you and we didn’t take it back. Its value is not determined by its price, but by the intention behind it.”
“Yes, Valda, this gift is a little something from me and your aunt.
Please accept it and focus on your relationship with Brian. If he ever upsets you, don’t hesitate to call me. I’ll be there to support you!”
Valda finally accepted these two gifts as a token of meeting.
After returning to Brian’s villa, Valda solemnly collected these two things.
“What happened to it? It’s all packed up?” Brian asked in confusion.
“This can’t be put away, it’s been left outside, and I don’t really have a suitable occasion to wear it anyway!” She usually wears casual clothes, which are not suitable for wearing these jewelry pieces.
Especially since these jewelry pieces are quite expensive, she would probably be nervous wearing them, afraid of damaging or losing them.
“Well then, I’ll make sure to find more opportunities for you to wear these jewelry pieces,” Brian joked.
Valda wrapped her arms around Brian’s neck and said, “Brian, I suddenly feel so happy right now.” But she was also afraid that this happiness was only temporary, and that their happiness together may not last forever.
The more happy she felt, the more afraid she became deep down inside.
Brian bent down and kissed Valda on the lips, saying, “I want to make you even happier Valda Iwant you to be happy because of
In the private room of the bar, Patrick looked at his friend.
His usually indifferent face seemed to have softened a bit, and his sexy lips were slightly upturned with a hint of a smile.
“Are you in a good mood?” Patrick asked.
“Mmm, not bad,” Brian admitted readily.
“Because of Valda?” Patrick asked, looking at his friend’s eyes. He suddenly felt like he had asked a stupid question. Who else could it be but Valda?
Recently, due to Valda and Brian’s breakup, this guy completely gave off an unwelcoming vibe and the atmosphere around him was extremely cold.
Every time he goes to the Hart Group, a bunch of executives come to him to complain.
During that time, he was afraid to get too close to Brian, in case
Brian didn’t like him and he would have nowhere to turn if that happened.
“By the way, a few days ago I tried to meet up with you but you were busy. How come you have time today?” Patrick touched his nose and changed the subject.
“Valda’s studio has to work overtime today,” said Brian.
Patrick suppressed the urge to roll his eyes and reluctantly returned to
Valda.
“Oh my god, what kind of love potion did Valda give you?” Patrick exaggeratedly acted like he was about to faint. “Do I have to schedule our meetings around her availability now?”
“You can also understand it this way,” said Brian.
Patrick was speechless for a moment, but then he said, “By the way, you guys aren’t going to break up again, are you?”
“No,” Brian said with absolute certainty.
He wouldn’t let Valda break up with him again! He was determined to grow old with her!
When he first started dating Valda, it was because of Grace’s hope. Grace wanted him to let go of his hopeless feelings and start a new relationship, so he found Valda.
But this time was different. This time, he wasn’t doing it for Grace, but for himself.
Just then, his phone rang and Valda’s name appeared on the screen.
Brian answered the phone and heard Valda’s voice on the other end. “Hey, Brian? I’ll be off work in about half an hour.”
“Okay, I’ll come pick you up,” Brian said.
Brian put away his phone, her cheerful voice still echoing in his ears.
He even wanted to hear more of her voice.
“Okay, I’m leaving now,” Brian stood up and said to Patrick.
Patrick was taken aback, “Hey, you’re leaving already?”
“What else? Are you going to accompany me to pick up Valda after work?” Brian asked in response.
“…” Patrick was speechless once again. Well, he decided to not ask anything.
Brian left the private room, and Patrick looked at the unopened bottle of alcohol. It seems that today, he will be drinking alone.
Brian drove to the building of Valda’s studio and saw Valda waiting at the entrance when he arrived.
“How did you come down? You can wait for me up there,” said
Brian.
Valda smiled and said, “I just wanted to see you earlier.”
This sentence, like a coquettish gesture, made Brian’s lips curl up with a smile
Valda’s eyes lit up instantly. Speaking of it, she hasn’t had supper for a long time!
“So… how about we go eat some crawfish?” she suggested.
“Crayfish?” He furrowed his brows slightly.
“Do you not like to eat?” she asked.
“No, it’s just…” he hesitated for a moment and said, “I haven’t eaten it before.”
Valda was momentarily confused, but soon she began to understand.
After all, food items like crayfish are popular among common people, but they are rarely found in formal meals.
“How about you try something new today?” Valda suggested. “I know of a great street vendor that serves delicious crawfish. It’s ranked number one on the foodie list for crawfish.”
When she said this, her eyes were shining, which made Brian find her extremely cute.
“Okay, let’s go to the place you mentioned and try it out,” Brian said.
Valda quickly took out her phone and started using the navigation app.
Brian followed the directions and arrived at the destination, which

3/3 an old-fashioned food stall. The tables and chairs were old, and the sign looked like it had been there for years. However, there were many people here, and the tables were already full. Some customers were even sitting on small stools outside the shop waiting.
Valda felt a bit embarrassed and asked, “Do you want to wait here?”
“Since we’re already here, we might as well wait,” Brian replied.
Valda breathed a sigh of relief and smiled.
After they sat down, Brian asked, “Do you come here often?”
“Not really, but I come a few times a year to satisfy my cravings. When I was in college, Camille and I used to come here a lot, but we didn’t have much money, so we only ordered a small portion and nothing else,” Valda replied.
Thinking back to those days, she still felt warm inside.
That was also one of the few warm moments she experienced during her college years.
“Afterwards, if you want to come here, I’ll accompany you. You can come as many times as you want,” said Brian.
Valda paused, “But you’re not used to this kind of place, are you?”
