Last night, he repeatedly said that she was drunk and asked her to lie down properly.
As a result, she ended up suppressing him and even…
Valda doesn’t want to dwell on it and hopes that Brian doesn’t see her as a sex-crazed person.
With gritted teeth, she carefully wrapped herself in her robe and tiptoed out of bed, making her way to the bathroom.
And at the moment she closed the bathroom door, Brian, who had been lying in bed, slowly opened his eyes and a smile appeared on his lips.
Actually, he woke up just now, but he wanted to see her reaction. However, after staring at him for a while, she sneaked into the bathroom like a thief.
Last night was so wonderful for him.
Last night, he took advantage of her vulnerability to some extent.
He knew she was drunk, and although some of his actions may have been impulsive, he still allowed himself to act on them.
He is usually a very rational person, but now he finds that she seems to be quietly destroying his rationality without him realizing
1.
It wasn’t a tumultuous wave that swept through his life, but rather a gentle and subtle presence that entered his world. Before he knew it, he couldn’t imagine life without her.
“Valda…” Brian murmured, as if the scent of her still lingered on his pillow, making him crave for more.
When Valda emerged from the bathroom, she only saw Brian getting dressed.
“You…you woke up?” She was a bit embarrassed, stuttering as she spoke.
“Mhmm,” Brian responded, “And how about you? How’s your body feeling? Are you experiencing any discomfort?”
As soon as he said this, her face turned even redder. “There’s nothing uncomfortable, everything’s fine…,” she quickly replied.
He looked at her crimson cheeks and pondered for a moment before saying, “Last night, it was my fault.”
“No, it’s not that… It’s not something you should do, but I’m taking the blame. It’s my fault, I shouldn’t have bullied you…”
As soon as these words were spoken, Valda wanted to bite her own tongue.
Oh my goodness, what is she even saying? But clearly, her words have amused him.
Brian suddenly realized, “So this is how you saw last night. Do you think that I was the one who bullied you?”
Her face was full of embarrassment, “Probably…I guess so.”
“That’s something I’m willing to be bullied by you,” Brian said, hesitated for a moment, and added, “But there’s something I shouldn’t have done. Last night… I forgot to take precautions, so you need to take emergency contraception. I’m sorry.”
Emergency contraception, although it doesn’t have any significant negative effects on the body if taken occasionally, he would prefer not to rely on her taking the pill to prevent pregnancy if possible.
Just last night, he was so immersed in being with her that he forgot about this matter.
“No…you don’t need to apologize. Yesterday, it was my initiative, and also…” Valda paused, as if she had made up her mind, “If this time, there really is a child, then…I want to give birth to it. Is that okay?”
He looked at her in shock. Does she know what she’s saying right now?
“Do you…want to give birth?” he asked.
“Mhmm,” she nodded, “if there is one, I… want to give birth to it.”
Once, when she thought she might be pregnant, she believed that having an abortion would be the responsible thing to do for that life.
But now, her thoughts have changed from before.
“Have you ever thought about what it means to give birth?” he asked.
She nodded, “It means I’ll be a mother and you’ll be a father.”
“And it also means we have to get married!” Brian added. “Valda, will you marry me?”
She looked at him seriously and nodded, “I will.”
“Even though I haven’t…” he trailed off, finding it hard to say the words in this situation.
But she finished his sentence for him, “Even though you haven’t fallen in love with me yet.”
She smiled and said, “Because I believe you will fall in love with me in the future, so…I might as well exercise my right now.”
Although he hasn’t fallen in love with her yet, it would make her happier to spend her life with him.
And, she had a feeling that he would definitely fall in love with her!
So, she waited and waited, until one day he would say to her, “Valda, I love you!”
She thought, that would be the most wonderful sound.
Brian hugged Valda tightly, “Okay, if you get pregnant, we’ll get married. If you don’t get pregnant, then whenever you want to get married, I’ll marry you.”
“Okay!” Valda raised her hands and hugged Brian back.
Marriage…at this moment, she began to look forward to what their life would be like after marriage, and what their children would be like.
It would be a very happy life, wouldn’t it?
Because of William’s relationship, Philip stayed in Emerald City for a few more days after the banquet.
During these days, William kept going to the Reed family, so Philip naturally visited the Reed family every day.
“When are you leaving?” Jason asked Philip, his guest, clearly wanting to give him the hint to leave.
“In a few days,” Philip replied. “And what about you? Are you really coming to Deer Capital in two weeks for the piano competition that Jasper is participating in?”
“Since the competition is in Deer Capital, we naturally have to go,”
Jason said.
“What about your wife and the other kids?” Philip asked.
“Mick, Jasmine, and Grace will come with us,” Jason replied.
“Shall I prepare rooms for you all?” Philip offered.
Jason felt a bit helpless. Although they stayed in a hotel during their previous trip to Deer Capital,
Jasper always liked to visit the Barlow family, and even insisted on sleeping with William at night.
This time, going to Deer Capital, they would probably encounter this situation again.
In order to keep his daughter under his watchful eye, Jason finally said, “That would be great, but there will be a few more people in my family this time, so we’ll need two nannies to take care of
Jasmine.”
“No problem,” Philip readily agreed.
“Speaking of which, does Jasper’s room still need to be prepared separately? It seems like every time she comes to the Barlow family, she sleeps on William’s side,” Philip casually mentioned.
“Preparation is still necessary.” Jason said with a smile that didn’t quite reach his eyes. “The child has grown up and ultimately there are differences between boys and girls. It’s not good for them to continue sleeping together.”
“I don’t mind if the two children sleep together. After all, they are still young. Even if they sleep together, it’s just a way for them to feel close to each other,” said Philip leisurely.
“I mind!” Jason said directly.
This is the difference between the boy’s father and the girl’s father.
Philip smiled and didn’t continue talking about the topic. Instead, he said, “When you come to Deer Capital, let me show you some hospitality as a landlord. I also hope that Jasper will achieve good results in the competition this time.”
“Where is your son? Is he not participating in this piano competition?” Jason asked.
“I won’t participate,” said Philip. “For him, the piano is just a tool.” William only plays it to win Jasper’s favor, because she likes it when he plays. So, William will continue to play.
If one day Jasper doesn’t want William to play the piano anymore, then William naturally won’t play it anymore either.
Jason clearly understood this, so he didn’t say anything more.
On the day before leaving Emerald City, Philip took William to Lily’s grave.
Looking at the black and white photo of Lily Atkinson on the tombstone, Philip felt like he was looking at a stranger.
He had no feelings for this woman, not even a hint of emotion, to the point where he couldn’t even remember what she looked like.
But it was this woman who gave birth to his only offspring in his entire life.
So his feelings towards Lily are a bit complicated.
Standing next to Philip, William’s young face was tense and his beautiful eyes were fixed on the tombstone in front of him. His hands hung tightly at his sides, his small fists clenched, showing the tension in his spirit at this moment.
“Offer incense to your mother. After all, she is the one who gave birth to you,” said Philip.
“I don’t want to,” William refused, to him, the woman he should call “mommy” never truly loved him.
She’s just using him, and even in the end, she’ll use his background to deceive people.
Before, he had never felt warmth, so he didn’t really care.
But only after truly experiencing warmth, will one know the difference between sincerity and insincerity.
Upon hearing this, Philip didn’t force it and simply lit three incense sticks and placed them in front of
Lily’s grave.
As the smoke rose, William suddenly said, “Is the child of a criminal, with criminal blood in their body, going to become a criminal in the future too?”
Philip looked at his son with surprise, “Why do you say that?”
“Someone said that to me before,” the little boy bit his lip with a hint of embarrassment.
It was when he was with the Reed family before, the children of the servants would mock and tease him, saying things like that to his face.
This time, when he returned to the Reed family, his status was different, and those who used to despise him would naturally not say anything to his face.
But he accidentally overheard them talking behind his back, saying that he was the child of a criminal and that even though he was now a rich kid, he would definitely commit crimes in the future, just like his mother.
