related illnesses, so with a caregiver to help take care of you, I can also feel at ease,” said
Valda.
“I…I don’t need anyone to take care of me! I’m just an old lady from the countryside. How much money would it cost to hire a caregiver?” Lisa said worriedly.
Brian smiled, “Don’t worry about the money. I already said that Valda and I brought you here to enjoy yourself.”
Lisa nodded after hearing this.
After dinner, Valda said she would stay overnight with Lisa in the apartment.
“Today is the first day my godmother came to Emerald City. She’s not familiar with you yet, so if you stay here tonight, she might feel uncomfortable. You should go back to the villa alone tonight, and I’ll stay here with my godmother,” Valda said.
Although Brian understood, his expression still fell a bit. After all, if Valda stayed here tonight, it meant he had to go back to the villa alone.
“Then…shall I come pick you up tomorrow morning to go to the studio?” Brian asked.
“No need. I’m not going to the studio tomorrow. I’ll spend the next few days with my godmother, shopping around Emerald City and buying things she needs. It’s also a good opportunity to help her get familiar with the place,” Valda said.
“In that case, I’ll arrange a driver. If I have time, I’ll join you guys for a walk,” Brian said.
“Okay,” Valda replied.
At night, Valda didn’t go back to her own room. Instead, she slept with Lisa on one bed.
During that year, she also slept in Lisa’s bed at Lisa’s house, which was the only bed available.
Lying together like this reminded Valda of those difficult days. For her, those days were only a memory from two months of sobriety, but for Lisa, they lasted a whole year.
“Auntie, please feel at ease staying here. My parents passed away when I was very young, so from now on, you are like a second mother to me. So please don’t worry or feel uneasy staying here. If there’s anything that makes you uncomfortable, please don’t hesitate to tell me.” Valda spoke softly.
Lisa said with relief, “Valda, I know you’re a good kid. When
I saved you before, I never expected anything in return.
Besides, I wasn’t sure if I could adapt to living in this big city, and…”
Lisa hesitated for a moment, unsure whether or not to continue speaking.
“What’s wrong? Godmother, if there’s anything you want to say between us, just go ahead and say it,”
Valda said.
“I can tell that Brian is a good person, he treats you well and he’s been good to me too. But I’m just a country girl and I can see that Brian seems pretty wealthy. He has a villa to live in, a car to drive, and he can even afford to hire a caregiver for me.
If you bring me over to live with you now, and I embarrass you in any way, would that affect your relationship with Brian and your future marriage?”
Lisa is afraid that her rural background and inability to speak well will have a negative impact on her goddaughter.
To Valda, who initially saved the other person, it was just an act of kindness at first. Because her own daughter had passed away, she hoped to do everything in her power to save Valda.
But as they spent more time together, she began to treat
Valda like her own daughter and took care of her.
Later on, Valda accepted the role of being a godmother. She cried for a long time and was also happy for a long time. She never expected that when she grew old, God would give her another daughter.
What’s even more unexpected is that now, this daughter is living in a big city that her parent never even dared to dream of bringing her to before.
All of this actually made her feel a bit anxious, afraid that she might ruin her goddaughter’s wedding plans.
“Godmother, don’t worry, you won’t affect my marriage with
Brion. The reason why Brian and one to hopey now is all because of you saving the Ae for you, just enjoy your life hers from now on Volde sord
“Godmother can tell that Brian treats you well and is a responsible and good man. Valda, you can rest assured that you have found someone who treats you well, and Godmother is happy for you,” said Lisa.
“He is very good to me, godmother. You can rest assured that Brian will always be good to me in the future,” Valda said. After experiencing so much, she has seen this man’s heart clearly.
Over the next few days, Valda spent most of her time.
accompanying Lisa. They went to a large hospital for a comprehensive physical examination and also went shopping together. Valda showed Lisa around the residential area and took her to visit Brian’s villa.
The villa was quite impressive and it did leave an impact on Lisa. However, when it came to living in the villa, Lisa declined. She felt more comfortable living in Valda’s small house and preferred the freedom it offered.
According to Lisa, living in a villa is too big and there are many servants. She feels restricted and worries about saying the wrong thing or making a mistake that others will laugh at. Even going to the kitchen requires using stairs, which is
So, Valda didn’t mention anything about letting Lisa stay in the villa and instead tried to spend more time with her in the apartment.
However, this has made things difficult for Brian, who now struggles to sleep alone every night.
After getting used to her company, the feeling of loneliness becomes even more apparent when there’s suddenly no one to accompany you at night.
“In that case, how about I move in to your apartment for a while?” Brian suggested in Valda’s studio.
“I think my godmother will feel uncomfortable again. She has just adapted to the caregiver living in the apartment these days,” Valda said. “Besides, there are already three people living in that room – me, my godmother, and the caregiver. It’s already crowded, and if you come, it will be even more crowded.”
Initially, that house only had two bedrooms.
“When can you come back to the villa and live with me?” Brian asked.
“Um… let’s wait until after we get married,” she thought for a moment and said.
As soon as he heard it, his eyebrows almost furrowed together.
So, he has to continue this “single” life for almost another year?
“Valda, isn’t that too long? How about you come stay with me a few days every week?” Brian suggested.
“My godmother needs me now. Besides, she just arrived and hasn’t adapted to life here yet. I need to spend more time with her,” Valda leaned over and kissed Brian’s forehead. “Okay, be good. After we get married, I’ll live with you, and I’ll spend more time with my godmother before the wedding.”
He looked at her with a hint of jealousy. Is he now competing with his future mother-in-law for his wife’s attention?
But Lisa is Valda’s lifesaver. Even if Lisa takes up a lot of
Valda’s time now, he can only endure it. “Then kiss me more,”
he said.
She blinked, wondering if he was asking for a kiss.
He knew he looked like he was acting spoiled.
You wouldn’t even kiss me more?” he asked.
“No,” she blushed slightly and kissed him on the lips as he wished.
He willingly opened his mouth, matching her kiss.
Her kiss and her presence made him increasingly attached…
I’m not sure how long it took, but she finally ended the kiss, gasping for breath. “Is… is that enough?”
“Not enough, not nearly enough,” he murmured, as he leaned in to kiss her this time.
Unlike the previous gentle kiss, this time the kiss was intense and filled with strong desire. In the end, he had to use almost all of his self-control to end the kiss and hold her tightly in his arms.
“Valda, I can only wait until our wedding day. After that, you must live with me and sleep by my side every night. Do you understand?” His hoarse voice was filled with desire. “My patience has its limits. I cannot bear to wait any longer.”
Valda’s cheeks were flushed as she pressed her face against Brian’s chest. Even through their clothes, it seemed as though she could hear his heart beating.
One by one, quick and strong.
The warmth from his body, even through his clothes, transferred onto her body, as if telling her how much he needed her!
One month later, Lisa also met with the old Mr. Hart and the old Mrs. Hart and had a meal with them.
When they met, Lisa felt uneasy and didn’t know what to do with her hands and feet. She spoke very little. Fortunately, the old Mr. and Mrs. Hart were very welcoming and kept the atmosphere warm.
The two families also discussed the future marriage of Valda and Brian.
“The hotels have already been selected by me. You can choose from them later. The list of dowry will be given to you later. You can check if there is anything missing and let me know.” said Mr. Hart, the elderly man.
“You don’t really need to give a dowry…” Valda didn’t finish her sentence before being interrupted by the old Mrs. Hart.
“Alright, the dowry is still necessary. It’s a sign of our Hart family’s appreciation for you, Valda. It’s also something that Brian’s father and I have carefully prepared, so please accept it graciously,” said Mrs.
Hart with a smile.
Valda didn’t say anything else after that.
Lisa, who was sitting next to her, hesitated to speak but ultimately didn’t say anything.
After finishing a meal, Brian accompanied Valda and Lisa back to their apartment.
The caregiver helped Lisa change and wash up, while Valda went out to see Brian off.
“Today my godmother seems quite nervous,” Brian said.
“Yeah, she’s afraid of saying something wrong and affecting our marriage,” Valda said, understanding
Lisa’s concerns.
“It doesn’t matter, even if she really says something wrong, my parents won’t mind. They also know that she has been living in the village and hasn’t had much exposure to the outside world. They can understand,” Brian said.
“It can only come slowly. When she becomes familiar with city life and gets used to it, maybe it will be better. Right now, she rarely talks to anyone except the caregiver and the neighbors around the community,” Valda said.
Some things just can’t be rushed.
But fortunately, she can also see that Lisa is gradually adapting.
As they talked, they had already arrived at Brian’s car.
“Okay, you go back now,” Valda smiled.
“Don’t you want to keep me?” he raised his eyebrows slightly.
“I would like to as well, but there’s no extra room to stay in,” joked Valda.
“You, don’t you even ask me, how difficult it is to fall asleep without you by my side at night?” he said.
