cannot,” said Jason. “As for the future, it ultimately depends on Valda’s own willingness.”
–
However, one thing is certain in the future, the Reed family will always stand behind Valda.
After seeing off Jason and Grace, Valda closed the door and felt a pair of arms wrap around her from behind. Instantly, she was enveloped in a broad embrace.
That is… Brian!
Her body suddenly stiffened, and then she felt his head lowered, buried in her shoulder, with hot breath spraying on her neck.
“I’m sorry… I’m sorry… I caused you so much pain,” he murmured.
Valda’s lips curled with a hint of bitterness. Since her return, the phrase she heard the most was “I’m sorry”… but she didn’t really want to hear those three words.
These three words only make her feel like everyone is trying desperately to make it up to her.
It seems like they all feel guilty towards her, as if they are all responsible for her injury.
But she would rather they treat her with a normal attitude, maybe that way she can feel like she’s just an ordinary person.
“Brian, please don’t feel like you owe me anything. You don’t owe me anything,” said Valda. She lifted her hand and tried to pull his hand away from her waist.
But he held her tighter instead.
“Valda, I know you don’t want me to make it up to you because of guilt, but it’s not out of guilt that I say
I love you. It’s because I love you that it hurts me even more to hear about what happened to you this past year. You’re the person I want to protect, but you’ve suffered so much, and I… couldn’t do anything to help you when you were in pain…”
Brian murmured, his voice hoarse with bitterness.
Valda bit her lip and after a while said, “It’s all in the past now, I’m fine now, aren’t I?”
He turned her body around to face him, “So what about us, is it all in the past too?”
“We…” She opened her mouth, wanting to be firm and say what she had thought about many times, but his gaze gave her an inexplicable sense of oppression, making those words seem stuck in her throat and unable to be spoken.
“Valda, don’t even think about leaving me, let alone not taking responsibility for me!” Brian said fiercely,
“You know, I’ve never been a good man, and I won’t just leave a woman high and dry. I don’t care what you think, but I love you, and you should never doubt that!”
Valda was speechless.
The next moment, his lips were already on hers.
She wanted to push him away, but he wouldn’t let her budge an.
inch.
A passionate kiss, filled with longing and yearning, and she once again found herself lost in his embrace.
Can she really trust that he loves her?
Can she stand by his side once again? If the Hart family’s mistress becomes disabled, will it tarnish the reputation of the entire Hart family?
She doesn’t know how to face it, afraid that as time goes by, she will end up with his disgusted gaze.
So, she wants to be the one to end this relationship by speaking up herself. At least this way, she will feel better.
But now… everything seems to be out of control.
He was completely powerless to resist as long as he wanted to.
Just because she loved him too much…
Until Brian put her back on the bed again, she suddenly realized what was happening and panicked, saying, “Don’t… don’t do this,
I… I don’t want to.”
Yesterday’s accident can happen once, but it cannot happen again for a second or third time…
Otherwise, everything will only get worse.
He gazed at her steadily and asked, “Are you really sure you don’t want it?” In his phoenix-like eyes, there was a captivating charm.
“No…don’t,” she struggled to keep her composure and said, trying not to fall into his charming gaze.
People who are usually calm and composed, when provoked, their impact is multiplied and becomes much more powerful.
A hint of disappointment flickered in his eyes, but he quickly smiled again. “Alright, if you don’t want to, then we won’t. I won’t. force you to do anything you don’t want to do.”
He straightened up as he spoke, “You rest for a bit, I’ll go wash my face.”
After he finished speaking, he walked towards the bathroom.
Valda sat up straight until Brian walked into the bathroom, then she breathed a sigh of relief.
She almost ended up like last night just now.
He always easily leads her astray, but fortunately the sky will darken soon and he will leave and go back.
Valda was thinking to herself when Brian emerged from the bathroom. His face was wet and his hair was soaked.
Valda was surprised and wondered if he had washed his face and hair together.
“Why don’t you use a towel to dry yourself? Your hair is wet and water is dripping onto your clothes,”
Valda said as she quickly.
went into the bathroom and grabbed a dry towel for Brian.
Before Valda could say anything, Brian obediently bent down and brought his head close to Valda’s, indicating that he wanted her to help him dry off.
Valda was speechless but didn’t say anything. She began to wipe the water droplets and wet hair off his face.
After wiping for a while, it was finally done.
When she took off the towel and saw the man in front of her with messy hair, she couldn’t help but reach out and gently tidy it up.
“Valda, do you still care about me?” he suddenly grabbed her hand and asked.
“I…I’m just drying your hair, it doesn’t mean anything,” she blushed slightly.
“What about last night? What did that mean? You said I was drunk, but you weren’t, right?” he asked.
Her face immediately turned redder and she couldn’t refute a single word.
“Valda, whenever you want me, just let me know,” he murmured softly.
Boom!
Her face seemed like it was about to explode, did he know that his words were like seduction? If she didn’t have enough self-control, she might…
“Well… it’s about time. Why don’t you go back first? I want to rest,” she hastily made an excuse.
“Go back? Where do I go?” he asked. “Wherever you are, I’ll be there.”
She was dumbfounded. Did he mean to stay here? “You want to stay here?”
“Yes,” he said. “Since you don’t want to stay at my place, I’ll stay at yours.”
“But I only have one room, where will you sleep?” she asked.
His gaze fell on the big bed.
She quickly added, “I…I want to sleep alone.”
“I can sleep on the living room sofa,” he said. “But I must stay with you, otherwise, how will I know if you will keep your promise?”
“She suddenly felt a sense of powerlessness. Why did she feel like she was being stuck to him?”
Given his personality, he doesn’t seem like he should be like this!
The end result was that he actually ended up living in her apartment, and even directly took out spare sheets to make a temporary bed on the living room sofa.
And they also found pillows, blankets…
Valda feels like Brian is even more familiar with this apartment.
than she is.
He seemed to have noticed her confusion and said directly,
“During the days when you were not here, I spent a lot of time living here and carefully counting the things in your room. So, I know everything that you have here.”
“…” Did he really look at her underwear?
But she never asked the question in the end!
At night, Valda lay in bed, tossing and turning, unable to fall asleep.
If Brian really stayed here, what would be the difference between now and before?
And she would only sink deeper and deeper, until it became truly difficult to extricate herself.
But…another voice in her heart said – Valda, he loves you. Since you love each other, you should be together!
Being together…just three simple words, but with so much burden. to bear.
It was just in that small village, when she woke up and tried to recover her body, there were always people pointing and saying how Lisa picked up a cripple!
There were also people saying even more hurtful things in front of Lisa, thinking she didn’t know, but she knew everything.
She didn’t mind how others saw her, since her job didn’t require her to face too many people.
But she did mind how others saw Brian.
When Brian and she were together, there were already various rumors and gossip from the outside. At that time, she only thought that in the future, she could work hard to become a woman who deserves him!
But now, the injury to this leg seems to have become a barrier between them, even if she tries her best, she cannot make this leg recover as before.
