“After we get married, I can be with you every night!” she said. “Hurry up and get in the car, drive safely on the road.”
He suddenly hugged her and buried his face in her neck, saying “I don’t want to let go, but I have to wait until tomorrow to see you again.”
“It’s just a matter of ten or so hours.” She said, even though she’s not currently living with him at night, they usually meet during the day and have lunch or dinner together.
“Isn’t it soon?” he asked.
She was somewhat amused and bemused, “Are you really
Brian?”
“What, do you think I’m not?” he whispered.
“I feel like you’re a little different from the person I used to know,” she said. When she first met him, she thought he was very aloof and hard to approach, but now…
“What’s different?” he asked.
“It’s not as cold as before, and you don’t talk as little as before. Now, sometimes you can be a bit clingy…” She paused, feeling embarrassed to continue.
He finished her sentence, “Clingy?”
“Um…yeah, something like that,” she coughed slightly, feeling awkward.
“Do you like me this way?” he whispered.
Her face turned slightly red. Did she like it? If she did, then this different version of him was something only she could see.
“I…I like it,” she confessed softly, blushing.
He smiled slightly and looked at her, “Valda, I’ll only cling to you.” His transformation was because of her, because he was falling more and more in love with her.
He loved her so much that he wanted to spend more time with her every day.
Brian hugged Valda for a while longer before reluctantly driving away.
Valda returned to the apartment and saw Lisa waiting for her in the room.
“Godmother, what’s wrong? Is there something you need?” Valda asked.
Lisa handed Valda a slightly crumpled passbook and said,
“The money in here is what I’ve saved up over the years. It was originally meant to be my retirement fund, but now that you’re getting married and your godmother doesn’t have anything. valuable to give you, consider this as your dowry. If you need to buy anything for your wedding, feel free to use this money.”
Valda said, “Auntie, this is your retirement money. How can I use it? You should keep it for yourself. I have enough money for my wedding, and besides, Brian and the Hart family won’t care if I have a dowry or not.”
“Although that’s what you said, since you called me ‘godmother’, I should give you this dowry. You treat me like a mother, and I treat you like a daughter. This is just a small gesture from me as your godmother,” Lisa said. If her own daughter were still alive, she would have been married by now.
Previously, every time she watched the scene of the daughters. getting married in the village, she secretly envied them. But now, she can finally contribute her efforts for the daughter she has adopted.
“Valda, you must keep this, because you are my daughter,”
said Lisa.
Valda’s eyes turned red, feeling as if the crumpled passbook in her hand weighed a ton.
At night, Lisa fell asleep and Valda looked at the numbers.
on her bank book. The amount was not significant, not even equal to her annual income. However, she knew that it would take Lisa a lot of time to earn this money.
This is Lisa’s retirement money, but she gave it all to her.
Valda carefully put away her bank book. Now, she feels very happy because Lisa takes care of her,
Brian loves her, and the Hart family spoils her.
The specific date of the wedding was determined by the Hart family. It is said to be an auspicious day that the Hart family specifically consulted a master in the temple to calculate.
On Valda’s side, the comic has finally resumed serialization, and the rehabilitation of her legs is also going well. When she walks, the degree of turning is getting smaller and everything is developing in a positive direction.
At noon, Brian came to her studio to pick her up for lunch.
“I just need to finish up a few loose ends, then I’ll be ready. Can you wait for me a moment?” said
Valda.
“Okay,” Brian responded naturally and sat down on the nearby sofa. His eyes, resembling those of a phoenix, gazed at Valda who was busy drawing on her computer with an electronic pen. It was clear that he was accustomed to waiting like this.
She was completely absorbed in painting, as if at this moment, all her attention was focused on the painting.
Brian took out his phone and secretly aimed the camera lens at Valda. He then pressed the button and took several pictures of her.
However, she was unaware of his secret photography, and she didn’t even know that most of the photos in his phone album were of her.
Every night, he would look at these photos one by one, gazing at her face before he could fall asleep.
When Valda finished her painting and looked up, she saw Brian staring at her with such deep affection that it seemed as if it would overflow like water… Perhaps this is what they mean by “gentle as water”.
“You’re looking at me like that, I’m going to feel embarrassed,” Valda said. Fortunately, her assistant didn’t come to work today, so she was alone in the studio.
If there were other people around at this moment, she would probably be even more embarrassed.
He smiled and walked over to her, “Then you’re only allowed to feel embarrassed in front of me, got it?”
He didn’t want other men to see her shy and timid side.
Her beauty was enough for him to see alone.
At his words, she became even more embarrassed.
“Okay
“Okay, let’s go eat,” he leaned down, kissed her cheek, and then rubbed her head.
“Uh-huh,” she replied softly, her face turning even redder.
“What do you want to eat today?” he asked after they got in the car.
“Anything will do,” she said.
So he drove and took her to a restaurant not far from her studio to have a meal.
It is an elegant Cantonese restaurant. Valda and Brian entered the restaurant and Brian requested a private room. After ordering their food, Valda said, “I need to use the restroom.”
“I’ll accompany you,” said Brian.
Valda was a bit amused and helpless, “It’s just a restroom, I can go by myself.”
“I’ll accompany you,” he insisted with a serious look in his eyes.
She pursed her lips for a moment before saying, “I know you’re afraid that something might happen to me. There was one time before when I went to the restroom alone and something unexpected happened. But…”
Valda paused for a moment and said, “But Brian, you can’t be by my side 24/7. Accidents can happen at any time, just like how parents are afraid that their children might choke on water, trip while walking, or choke while eating… But we can’t stop children from doing these things. There are many things. that people have to face and do alone. So, I can go to the bathroom by myself!”
Valda spoke and pulled out her phone, “If there’s really any trouble, I’ll call you right away!”
“But…” Brian still seemed worried.
Valda said, “I want to go to the bathroom alone. If you come with me, I’ll feel like I’ve lost my independence. Brian, I’m not that fragile!”
He looked at her determination and could only say, “Okay, then go by yourself. If you have any trouble, be sure to call me right away!”
“Okay, I got it,” she replied.
It wasn’t until she left the private room that Brian sighed and ruffled his hair with a wry smile.
As she said, he couldn’t be with her 24/7, but he was always afraid that something might happen to her.
Perhaps it was because he had lost her once before and knew how painful it could be, so he didn’t want to experience that pain again.
For him now, her safety was the most important thing.
Valda was now alone in the bathroom. After finishing up, she was about to leave when she suddenly saw a group of young women walk in, one of whom she recognized.
She is a relative of the Hart family and she saw Lexi on the day she visited the Hart family.
At that time, Lexi’s family was kicked out by the Hart family, and the situation was quite embarrassing.
In short, Valda considers herself to have a bad relationship with Lexi, so when she sees her, she doesn’t want to make an effort to be friendly.
After all, from the very beginning, Lexi never had good intentions towards her.
She simply didn’t want to pay attention to Lexi, but a woman next to Lexi suddenly spoke up and said,
“Hey, Li, is this person your cousin’s fiancée?”
Lexi looked at Valda with an unpleasant expression on her face and said, “Yes, it’s the cripple my cousin is going to marry. I don’t know what kind of lowly means she used to force my cousin to marry her.”
Lexi spoke contemptuously, looking at Valda with a disdainful gaze.
Whenever she thought about the day when Valda caused her entire family to be kicked out of the Hart family, and even her aunt and uncle forbade her from ever returning, she couldn’t swallow the anger in her heart.
You should know that she is currently a student at the Film and Television Academy. Her classmates are all future stars in the entertainment industry. Everyone is trying to get close to her now because they know she is Brian’s cousin.
If everyone knows that she and Brian have fallen out, then the future might not be so easy.
Although at the moment, everyone is still unaware of it.
But over time, once it is discovered that she doesn’t have any good film and television resources, then it will be inevitable that people will know her true relationship with the Hart family.
It’s just that there may be even greater embarrassment when that time comes.
The few women standing next to Lexi felt a bit awkward when they heard her words.
Originally, they wanted to go up and flatter Valda and get closer to her.
But Lexi’s words made them suddenly unsure of how to approach her.
Valda looked at Lexi with a stern face, “I hope you know your place when you speak. Your words just now could be considered defamation.”
“I didn’t defame you, I spoke the truth! Otherwise, why don’t you give me a reason? Does my cousin, who has seen all kinds of beauties, really need to marry a woman like you who has a lame leg and is ugly?” Lexi vented all the anger she had been holding in these past few days onto Valda.
