“Well… you need to book your plane ticket now, I have already booked mine,” said Valda.
“No need to book, just charter a plane directly,” said Brian.
Valda almost choked on her own saliva, “A…chartered flight?”
“Do you have any questions?” he instead asked strangely.
She blinked her eyes and thought, well, chartering a plane might be a pretty ordinary thing for him, but for her, it was definitely not ordinary!
“Um…this flight to Deer Capital only takes a little over 2 hours, so there’s no need for a chartered flight,” she said awkwardly.
“Sure, I’ll buy my plane ticket later. Can you send me your flight information later?” Brian said.
“Okay,” Valda responded.
As the day of the convention drew nearer, Valda grew more and more excited. She talked incessantly to Brian about the various cartoonists who would be attending the event.
Looking at her appearance, he finds her quite cute, almost like a fan chasing after a celebrity, except that the “celebrity” she’s chasing after is a cartoonist.
“When I meet them, I’ll see if I can ask for their autographs, especially from some of the senior artists. I grew up reading their comics, and I never thought that one day I would be able to communicate with them face to face. I wonder if in the future, I can also create such great works like them.”
As she spoke, there was a passion for her career in her eyes.
In his eyes, she looks very beautiful just the way she is!
“I will, definitely!” said Brian.
On the day they were leaving for Deer Capital, when the two of them arrived at the airport, Brian upgraded Valda’s ticket to first class. It was Valda’s first time flying in first class.
And she didn’t refuse Brian’s kindness because she knew he wanted her journey to be more comfortable.
“Have you been to Deer Capital before?” Valda asked curiously.
“I’ve been there,” said Brian. “At that time, I stayed in Deer Capital for a while because I helped Grace with something.”
“Get things done? What kind of things?” Valda became even more curious.
So Brian told Valda about Amber Mitchell’s situation. After all, it was big news in Deer Capital and anyone could find out with a little research.
Valda was shocked to hear that a mentally stable and healthy woman was sent to a mental hospital by her family and endured so much suffering, yet still managed to survive.
“If Kyla hadn’t gone to find Amber, what would have happened to her?” Valda asked with teary eyes.
“Perhaps she would have been locked up until death, but luckily the situation was resolved in the end,”
Brian replied.
“Thank goodness Kyla kept looking for Amber, and with the help of Grace and you,” Valda said. “Is
Amber still in Deer Capital?”
“No, as far as I know, she’s living in Emerald City and still in contact with Kyla and Grace,” Brian said.
“I hope I can be friends with Amber if I have the chance in the future,” Valda said.
After hearing Amber’s story, she realized how lucky she was to have someone she loved who treated her kindly.
Meanwhile, the man Amber loved didn’t trust her at all and only had suspicion and doubt towards her, even when she was in trouble and being framed by her family.
“There will be a chance,” Brian said.
“Brian!” Valda said seriously, “Let’s not have any misunderstandings between us in the future! If there are any doubts, let’s just ask each other directly. I don’t want our relationship to be destroyed by suspicion or anything like that.”
“Okay,” Brian replied seriously.
Valda finally smiled in relief.
“Okay, lie down for a while and rest. We still have over an hour until we reach Deer Capital,” Brian said.
Valda nodded and obediently lay down on her seat to rest.
Brian gently covered her with a thin blanket.
As he watched Valda close her eyes and fall into a light sleep, his eyes were full of tenderness.
This woman was someone he would protect for the rest of his life. He wouldn’t make the same mistake as George Gregory did. He wouldn’t let their relationship end up like George and Amber’s, where there was no chance of turning back!
Over an hour passed quickly, and when the plane arrived at Deer Capital, Valda and Brian got off.
Due to having rested on the plane, Valda is in good spirits now. As soon as she left the airport, she looked around curiously.
The two of them took a taxi and went directly to the hotel prepared for the participants of the conference..
Because the rooms prepared by the conference organizers are all single rooms, some attendees who bring their families with them will choose to upgrade to larger rooms at their own expense.
Valda and Brian naturally upgraded their room to a larger one.
Although it is a large room, it is still quite different from the presidential suites that Brian usually stays in at hotels.
“Will you be able to adjust to living here?” Valda hesitated to ask.
“What’s so hard to get used to here?” Brian chuckled, “I’m not as delicate as you might think.”
When the word was mentioned, Valda imagined Brian’s delicate appearance and couldn’t help but chuckle.
After packing their luggage, it was already approaching evening. Valda and Brian left the room and planned to find a place to have dinner outside.
“What do you want to eat?” Brian asked.
“Let’s try some of the specialty dishes from Deer Capital. It’s my first time here,” Valda said. “Have you been here before? Do you know which dishes are good?”
Brian thought for a moment, then took Valda to an old and well-known restaurant in tMason Swansonty of Deer Capital, where they ordered some of the restaurant’s signature dishes.
As the two of them waited for the food to arrive, Valda’s gaze turned towards the window.
Because the two of them were sitting by the window, she could see the passersby and the scenery on the street.
Compared to the hustle and bustle of Emerald City, Deer Capital has a more classical charm with many preserved ancient buildings.
During the free time of this exchange meeting, she is interested in visiting the ancient buildings in Deer Capital, as she believes could bring her some inspiration.
At that moment, Valda’s eyes suddenly caught sight of a little boy crouching by the flower bed across the street.
Where are the boy’s parents? Valda thought to herself, glancing towards the boy’s vicinity. There were some people standing around him, but she couldn’t tell who his parents were.
At this moment, the dishes started to be brought out one by one.
“Go ahead, try Deer Capital’s specialty dish. I heard the food here is quite authentic,” said Brian.
Valda nodded and began eating her food, but her gaze kept drifting towards the little boy.
After a while, several people walked past the boy, but none of them seemed to be his parents.
Occasionally, someone would approach the boy and ask him something, but they would soon walk away.
Could this child be lost? Were there no parents around?
Valda wondered to herself. However, the boy looked to be around 8 or 9 years old, an age where children usually know their way home and don’t need to worry.
But perhaps it was the look of loneliness on the child’s face that reminded Valda of herself.
After her parents passed away, she was taken in by her uncle, but she never felt at home there. She always felt like an outsider, no matter how hard she tried to fit in.
The feeling of loneliness was so strong back then!
“What are you looking at?” Brian’s voice interrupted her thoughts.
Valda turned her head towards Brian and said, “Look, across the street, there’s a child squatting. I’ve been watching for a while now, and it seems like there’s no parent around. Maybe the child doesn’t want to go home after school?”
She noticed that there was a schoolbag placed beside the child.
Upon hearing this, Brian looked across the street for a moment. However, soon after, his eyebrows furrowed slightly.
“That child is Simon Gregory,” said Brian.
“Do you know each other?” Valda asked in surprise.
“I just caught a glimpse of the child. He is Amber and George’s child,” said Brian, while also wondering why the Gregory family would allow a child to be left on the roadside like this. From what he could see, there were no bodyguards or nannies around the child either.
Valda looked shocked. She had only heard Amber’s story on the plane, and now she realized that the little boy she had been paying attention to for quite some time was actually Amber’s child?!
Brian pursed his lips and stood up, saying, “I’ll go get the child to prevent any accidents.”
“Okay,” Valda replied.
Brian got up and walked towards Simon, but before he could reach him, Valda noticed a middle-aged woman approaching
Simon and taking the child’s hand, as if she wanted to take the child away.
Simon was struggling continuously, clearly not wanting to follow the other person.
Valda was taken aback, then she saw Brian walking forward and engaging in a conversation with the middle-aged woman. The woman had her arms crossed and was pointing at Brian while shouting at the top of her lungs. A crowd had started to gather around them.
Upon seeing this, Valda quickly stood up and rushed out of the restaurant, running towards the other side of the street.
Valda hadn’t even reached Brian when she heard the middle-aged woman shouting, “You, sir, dress so nicely, but why do you have to be so troublesome? I’m taking my own child home, do I need your permission?”
“Are you sure he is your child?” Brian said coldly.
“How can you be uncertain? He is my biological son, born to me and my husband. Do I need to tell you that I gave birth to my own child?” the other person said.
“No, you’re not my mom!” said Simon.
“You, child, how can you say such things? Just because your mother doesn’t allow you to play games and wants you to focus on your studies, you don’t recognize her? Do you know how hard your mother works every day to ensure you have a good life?” The woman began to cry with tears in her eyes, appearing genuinely emotional.
The surrounding onlookers, obviously swayed by the woman’s words, gradually began to side with her.
Some people also say, “Child, you should go back with your mother quickly. Your mother is working so hard, isn’t it all for you?”
“Yeah, kids these days just love playing games. When they start playing, it’s like they become a different person. That’s how it is with my child too.”
