He had rushed over so hastily just because she had interrupted their phone call. And when he arrived and hugged her, that trembling feeling seemed to still linger in her body.
This man cared so much about her. Why did she still doubt that his feelings for her were only out of pity?
Valda, are you really that lacking in confidence? She murmured to herself in her heart.
If she continued to feel inferior because of her limp, both she and
Brian would suffer in the end. So why not take that step forward?
Even if the outcome was not good, it would only be as painful as it is now. But what if the result was good?
If she stopped here, she would definitely regret it in a few years.
She would regret being too insecure and lacking the courage to take this step.
“Brian,” she softly called his name.
“Hmm?” He slightly raised his head, and his phoenix eyes looked straight at her.
“I love you.” These three words, spoken from her mouth, also represented her determination at this moment.
She decided to let go of her insecurity. Even though she had a disability, as long as he loved her, she would be with him. No matter how big the storms in the future, she would bravely face them.
Brian was stunned, and then his phoenix eyes burst with an incredulous light.
“Valda, what did you say?” He was a little excited and cautious, afraid that things were not as he thought.
“Brian, I love you, so let’s get married, okay?” She asked, wanting to form a family with him, wanting to have children for him, and wanting to be with him forever and ever.
He looked at her in a daze, and the next moment, two lines of clear tears slid down his face.
“Okay, let’s get married!” He said hoarsely, excitedly taking her hand and kissing it, sprinkling kisses on her hand and fingertips…
“Valda, we’re getting married, I, Brian, am going to marry Valda!”
Warm tears fell onto her hand along with his kiss, causing a wave of heartache in her chest.
How much does this man really love her?
“Don’t cry. If the waiter comes in with the food in a little while, they might think I bullied you,” said Valda.
“Okay, I won’t cry,” murmured Brian, “but you’re the only one who can bully me.”
A moment later, when the waiter brought the dishes in, the man’s eyes were red and the woman was saying, “Okay, I promise I won’t do this again next time?”
What do you mean by “not anymore”? The waiter’s mind was suddenly filled with various thoughts, until the man’s cold gaze swept over, and the waiter quickly put down the plate in his hand and walked out in a hurry.
“Valda said, ‘You seem to have scared the waiter.””
Brian said, “You said it before, no backing out. You will be my wife for the rest of your life!”
“Okay, I won’t regret it. I’m not a three-year-old child!” Valda said, raising her hand and touching his face again. “Brian, I don’t know what our future will be like. Maybe my limp leg will make you face a lot of ridicule and criticism. People will say, ‘How could the great Brian, the prince of the entertainment industry, marry a cripple as his wife?””
“No one dares to say such things!” Brian said.
“Even if they don’t say it to your face, they’ll say it behind your back,” Valda said. “These criticisms are unavoidable, but… I don’t want to be a coward. I will try to become better and make others see that even if I have a limp, I’m not that bad. I will stand by your side if you don’t let go, I won’t give up!”
Her face was full of determination.
He took the hand that was pressed against his cheek and brought it to his heart, leaned over, and whispered, “Valda, I will never let go, so you can never give up.”
Her dark pupils reflected his handsome face.
“Okay,” she said, her lips slightly parted.
The next moment, his lips landed on hers.
This was their vow, and this kiss was their vow of commitment!
After finishing lunch, Brian accompanied Valda to repair her phone.
“Do you need to go back to the company? Actually, I can go fix the phone by myself,” Valda said, afraid of delaying his work.
Brian said, “I’ll accompany you. If there’s anything urgent at the company, the secretary will call me.
Where did you get your phone repaired?”
Valda gave the address for the phone repair.
Brian drove and took Valda to their destination. The storefront was located along the street and was easy to find.
Valda’s phone wasn’t ready for pick up for another 2 hours, so she decided to take Brian for a walk around the area.
“If you’re tired, just let me know and we can find a nearby place to rest for a bit,” said Brian. He knew that Valda had difficulty walking and that walking long distances could easily tire her out more than the average person.
“Okay, I understand now,” said Valda, linking her arm with Brian’s.
“It’s just that I walk a bit slower, so please be patient with me.”
“It doesn’t matter how slowly you walk, I’ll be by your side,” he said.
Valda felt reassured by the simple sentence.
It’s like she doesn’t have to be afraid of anything as long as he’s by her side. I don’t have to worry even if I’m very busy.
The two of them walked slowly forward. Brian was already handsome, even without the prince’s aura, he still attracted attention. Valda, on the other hand, limped as she walked,
This combination naturally drew attention. Along the way, some passersby would glance at them with strange looks, and even some people whispered and discussed in private.
But this time, Valda didn’t lower her head as usual, trying not to attract attention. Instead, she continued to walk with her head held high.
Since she couldn’t stop others’ strange looks, what she could do was to face them!
No fear, no inferiority!
And Brian, standing beside Valda, naturally felt her change, and a smile appeared on his lips.
“Is there anything you want to eat?” There were many food and tea shops along the way.
“Milk tea, I haven’t had it in a while, and I feel like drinking it.” She said.
He then said, “Okay, you rest on the chair for a while, I’ll go buy it.” Because they were now on a pedestrian street, there were many benches on both sides of the street for pedestrians to rest.
“Okay.” Valda nodded and sat down on the chair. Brian asked her what flavor of milk tea she wanted, then went to the front of the store to queue up for the purchase.
Valda looked at Brian standing in the queue, and even among a group of people, Grace stood out so prominently.
In the queue, there were mostly young girls, and even if there were men, they were mostly young guys dressed casually. He seemed to be the only mature man dressed in a suit and leather shoes.
While waiting in line, many girls looked at Brian sideways, but he seemed completely unaware of the people around him and only occasionally looked at her.
A man who was willing to queue up to buy bubble tea warmed
Valda’s heart. It’s a pity that her phone is being repaired at the moment, otherwise she would have liked to take a picture to keep as a memory.
However, she will always keep this scene in her heart.
Just as it was finally Brian’s turn and he had bought his bubble tea, two young girls suddenly walked up to him. One of the girls had a blushing face and seemed to have said something to him.
Brian replied expressionlessly, causing the girl’s shy expression to change. She then looked towards
Valda with a slightly glaring gaze.
Valda looked confused and blinked her eyes.
Then the girl said a few words to Brian, who replied shortly. The girl looked embarrassed and ran away, while the other girl quickly followed.
Brian walked up to Valda and handed her the bubble tea he was holding.
She took the milk tea and took a sip, asking, “What did that girl say to you just now? It’s not a confession, is it?”
“Mhmm.” He responded lightly.
Valda blinked her eyes again, it was indeed a confession… Handsome people really get confessed to everywhere. “Did you tell her that I’m your girlfriend?”
Valda guessed that otherwise the girl wouldn’t have turned her head and glared at her like that.
“Yes, I told her that my girlfriend is still waiting for me and asked her not to bother me,” he said.
“What happened later? What did you say? When she left, did she seem embarrassed?” she asked.
“I told her to go home and look in the mirror,” Brian’s eyes narrowed as he spoke. What he didn’t say was that the girl had taken one look at Valda and said, “Your girlfriend doesn’t even come close to matching you.”
If it weren’t for Valda being present, he would have slapped him directly.
“Do you want to walk some more?” Brian asked.
“Anyway, it’s not time yet. Let’s walk a bit more,” said Valda as she stood up, holding a cup of milk tea in one hand and linking arms with Brian with the other. They continued walking along the pedestrian street.
Sometimes happiness seems quite simple, Valda thought to herself, walking this way makes her feel quite happy.
Suddenly, she saw a bridal shop on the street and it immediately caught her attention.
He followed her gaze and also saw the bridal shop.
“Would you like to take a look?” Brian said.
“Hmm?” Valda was taken aback. “Isn’t it a bit too early to look at it now?”
“Will it be soon? Didn’t you say you wanted to marry me?” he asked.
“It…it’s about getting married, but it’s not going to happen so soon,” said Valda.
Brian raised his eyebrows and asked, “Not so fast? Then when do you plan to marry me?”
She hesitated for a moment and muttered, “Well… it will take at least a year. I still need to buy a house, and it will take two to three months for the loan to be approved. Then I need to bring my godmother over. Although the interior decoration of the house I’m interested in is good and doesn’t need to be renovated again, I still need to let my godmother adapt to life in Emerald City first…”
“Since we’re getting married, you can choose to buy the house or not. If you really want to buy it, we can complete the transaction.
within a day without waiting for a loan. As for your godmother adapting to life in Emerald City, she can adjust after we get married.”
