George said, “Hello, I want to thank you for helping me protect Simon today. If you ever need any help from the Gregory family in the future, don’t hesitate to ask. I will definitely help.”
This is also his promise to them.
After saying this, George turned to his son and said, “Simon, let’s go. It’s time to go back. Your grandparents are very worried about you.”
At the moment, Simon seemed somewhat unwilling as he walked from Valda’s side to his own father’s side.
As he was leaving, Simon quietly turned back and looked at Valda several times.
Valda couldn’t help but feel a twinge of heartache in her heart.
Actually, this child is just a child who longs for love.
When they returned to their hotel room, Valda said, “I feel like Simon actually wants to see his mother.
On one hand, he really hopes that his mother loves him, but on the other hand, he doesn’t believe that she does.”
“Do you feel sorry for that child?” Brian asked.
“Mmm,” she said, “it’s quite heartbreaking. I couldn’t bring myself to say anything like ‘his mother will come back’ while I was in front of the child.”
Because if it were Amber in her place, after suffering so much harm, she wouldn’t choose to come back.
“Fortunately, you were able to notice Simon today. Otherwise, he might have really been abducted by that woman. It would have been difficult to find the child then,” said Brian.
“At that time, I noticed him because I thought he looked a lot like me when I was a child,” said Valda.
“Like the way you were when you were a child?” Brian was taken aback.
“It seems very lonely,” Valda said. “When my parents passed away, even though I was taken in by my uncle’s family, that feeling of loneliness never left me. At that time, I often didn’t want to go home after school and would frequently stay outside by myself.”
Brian hugged Valda with a heart full of pity and said, “I won’t let you feel so lonely again in the future.”
“Okay,” Valda hugged Brian tightly, burying her face deeply in his embrace. “Brian, I won’t let you be alone anymore in the future.”
Perhaps, both of them were once lonely individuals, but after meeting each other, they finally no longer have to be alone!
The next day’s comic exchange meeting, Brian attended as a participant with Valda as his translator.
Valda was in awe as she watched Brian fluently converse with comic artists from other countries in their native language.
You should know that he doesn’t just communicate with others in English, he also knows Japanese,
Korean, and more.
Valda feels that it’s necessary to refresh her understanding of Brian.
And he knows even the most specialized terminology, sometimes even better than the professional translators present.
There were several translators, some even came over to talk to
Brian.
“How many languages have you actually learned?” Valda asked in a moment of pause.
“Just six languages, and for the others, I only know a little bit,” he replied.
“Six countries?!” Valda gasped. If he only knows a little bit of the other languages, then he must be fluent in these six languages?
He’s really a language genius!
Compared to him, she felt like a language idiot. Even the only language she had been studying for years, English, she had to work hard to pick up and only managed to have basic conversations.
“You know, if I had met you when I was studying, maybe my grades would have improved dramatically, and I might have learned a few more languages,” Valda sighed.
“What’s wrong with now? You don’t have to study hard, I can help you translate,” he said.
Valda realized he was right.
At the communication meeting, Valda also met many of her admired comic artists. Of course, she couldn’t miss the opportunity to get their autographs and take pictures with them.
After learning that Valda and Brian were in a romantic relationship, the comic artists all gave their blessings.
Valda had a pleasant few days at the exchange meeting. She not only got closer to many comic artists, but also discussed various comic techniques and their views on the future of comics.
Valda feels that she has gained a lot in these past few days.
During the day, she often discussed various issues with the cartoonists, and Brian was the best translator.
At night, she and Brian wandered around the streets and alleys of Deer Capital, as if they were tourists visiting the place.
“It’s a pity that some places can only be visited during the day,” Valda regrets this fact.
“If you want to, you can stay here for a few more days when the time comes,” said Brian.
“What about your job?”
“For work, I can arrange it. A few days’ time can be adjusted,” he said.
She couldn’t help but say, “Brian, are you being too accommodating to me?”
“I just want to accommodate you more,” he said.
I just want to treat her better, so well that she can’t let go of me!
After the exchange meeting ended, Valda and Brian decided to stay in Deer Capital for three more days to do some sightseeing.
On the very first day, an unexpected situation occurred.
Valda was surprised to see Simon appear in front of them, and stared at him.
George apologized and said, “Simon really wants to see you again. Do you plan to stay in Deer Capital for a while? I also want to show my gratitude for saving
Simon last time. I haven’t properly thanked you yet.”
“No need to be polite,” said Valda.
Brian doesn’t really like George, so he says, “Mr. Gregory, my girlfriend and I already have plans for today, so we appreciate your kindness, but we want to explore Deer Capital on our own.”
This statement is equivalent to a refusal, and someone like George naturally understands it.
“Is that so? Well… it would indeed be inconvenient to disturb you,” said George, then he lowered his head and said to his son, “Alright, you’ve met Auntie Valda and Uncle Brian, let’s go back.”
He was about to take his son’s hand when Simon took a big step forward and went straight to Valda, grabbing her hand. “I want to play with you guys, is that okay?”
“?” Valda was surprised, “You want to join us?”
“Today is Saturday, no need to go to class,” said Simon, with a glimmer of anticipation in his beautiful eyes.
Looking at those hopeful eyes, Valda couldn’t refuse anymore.
George said, “Simon, come here!”
But Simon seemed to ignore it, while Grace held onto Valda’s hand.
Valda looked hesitant, glancing at the child and then at Brian. “Brian, this…”
“I’ll listen to you.” Brian directly handed over the decision-making power to Valda.
Valda thought for a moment and said to George, “Mr. Gregory, if you’re comfortable with it, why don’t we let Simon play with us today? We’ll make sure to send him back to the Gregory family afterwards.”
George said, “How can this be appropriate?”
“I actually quite like Simon,” said Valda. She just doesn’t like
George sighed as he looked at his son who was holding Valda’s hand tightly and refused to let go.
“Alright then, I’ll trouble you with this. But you don’t have to go out of your way to send Simon back to the Gregory family. I’ll come and pick him up myself.”
“Okay,” Valda replied.
George then gave some instructions to his son before leaving.
Valda, Brian, and Simon started their journey for the day.
For the sake of convenience during his trip, Brian had arranged for a car to be provided by the subsidiary of Hart Group, Deer Capital, at this location.
At the moment, Brian is driving while Simon and Valda are sitting in the back seat.
“Do you want to come out and play with us? Today we’re just visiting some ordinary sights in Deer
Capital that you’ve probably already been to, so you might find it boring,” said Valda.
“I just don’t want to stay at home and deal with my grandparents and dad,” Simon said with a bit of an old-fashioned tone.
Valda was surprised, “Oh, why? They should treat you well, right?”
She heard from Brian that the Gregory family only has one child,
Simon. Because of this, Amber had thought about getting custody of the child, but the Gregory family was not willing to give it up.
“It’s good, but… my grandparents don’t like mommy. I’ve heard them say that mommy is a bad woman and that she’s the reason why daddy is like this now. And they keep talking about finding me a new mommy all the time!” Simon said.
Upon hearing this, Valda could only sigh and think that every family has their own difficulties to face.
“So what about you, what do you think?” she asked. Children at this age are generally precocious and have their own ideas.
At this moment, Valda didn’t treat the other person as a child, but asked them in an equal and inquiring tone.
Simon remained silent, and Valda didn’t push him. It was as if he could speak if he wanted to, but if he didn’t want to, then he didn’t have to.
After a while, Simon said, “I don’t like it when they speak ill of Mommy. It was clearly Daddy who caused Mommy’s suffering! I’ve read many reports and even searched online. Many people online say that if Daddy had helped Mommy at that time, she wouldn’t have suffered so much.”
“Your father must be regretting it now,” said Valda. Although she didn’t like George, she could tell from his eyes that there was a sense of despair towards life.
The impact of these things on that man can be imagined.
“I don’t want a new mommy either,” Simon said. “I don’t want to stay at home, and I don’t want to go to school. It seems like everyone is being very careful around me, whispering behind my back and not wanting me to know what they’re saying. But actually, I know what they’re talking about!”
Valda can relate to this. When her parents passed away, relatives, teachers, and classmates were all very careful around her, but they also talked behind her back.
