The Day He Matured

Finally, Hellen’s birthday has arrived. I don’t know if it’s because Brian’s work is really busy or because he deliberately acted, but he didn’t come back until Mrs. Alina drove to Li Bai’s restaurant.

And the first thing he did after he got out of the car was lifted me up and kissed me passionately.

“Stop, stop, that’s enough. You should go take a bath.” I pushed him away, urging him.

“My body stinks?” Brian frowned, showing displeasure.

“Not. I’m afraid you’ll be tired, it’s not good to take a bath at night. Have you eaten yet?”

“I still haven’t eaten. Baby, look what I bought you.”

After saying that, Brian gently put me down and took out two bags of mixed rice paper from the car.

I laughed, said thank you, then took two bags of mixed rice paper and ran into the house, went straight to the kitchen, and heated the food to serve him.

If I told him that this bag of mixed rice paper made me happier than when he gave me a diamond ring, he would probably think that I was pretending to please him.

“Why did you come home late today? Is your job okay?” I asked as we both sat down at the table.

“Uh, I tried to stay at the bank to process some more documents. I will try to review a few more documents tonight. Tomorrow I will be a little late for work, have time to kiss you.”

“You are not decent at all.” I blushed because of his answer.

“I’m just not decent when I’m with you. Besides you, no one dares to say that to me.” He reached out, grabbed my chin and gently rubbed it, and said, his voice was very serious.

I smiled and nodded vigorously. I believe what he said because if he brought this appearance to the bank, the staff would have rolled their eyes and no one would respect him

Although in front of him, they will obey him because he is the boss, behind his back, they will say this and that.

However, over the years, as far as I know, his image in everyone’s heart is a cold, serious, dignified, extremely quiet man who doesn’t talk as much as when he faced me.

After eating, Brian helped me clean up and then pulled me up to the terrace to watch the stars.

Although winter has passed and spring is coming, the cold air still lingers in the city.

I buried my head in his lap, letting his strong and warm arms wrap around me. Through his shirt, I could hear his heartbeat.

“You said that tonight there are a few documents that need you to review. Why did you bring me up here?” I took his soft hand up, stroking each finger, and asked softly.

“I have to make the most of my time. When my mother comes back, I can’t cuddle with you.”

As soon as I finished my words, kisses kept falling on my forehead. I closed my eyes and let him cuddle me.

It wasn’t until he stopped that I opened my eyes and continued to look at the stars with him even though they were just a few stars far away with almost white light, not seeing any yellow.

“Bella, I want to know more about you. Tell me about your past, what you’ve been through, your family, everything. I want to know all.”

I never thought that Brian would ask about my past, so I was a bit surprised. However, I understand this is natural, everyone will want to know all about the person they love.

I slowly let go of his arms, straightened my back, and told him about my family.

I told him about my father’s bankruptcy and suicide and my mother’s illness and death and that I had to go to an orphanage in a remote province to continue my studies.

I also told him that I used to like Richard, a student love affair, but it was only one-sided because at that time Richard didn’t know I liked him and I didn’t know he liked me too.

“This New Year, I will take you to visit our parents’ graves.” Brian reached out and gently touched my cheek, gently suggesting.

“Are you saying our parents?”

“Yes, in the near future, you are my wife and I am your parents’ son-in-law.”

I had to try hard to swallow the happy tears back. Why does this guy keep saying things that make me emotional?Content is © by NôvelDrama.Org.

If I became his wife, I would cry all day long, cry for happiness. Why didn’t I accept him sooner to realize how amazing he is?

“I love you, Bella.”

“You have said this a lot already, I understand, and I believe you.” I shyly bowed my head and said softly.

“Would you like to hear me say I love you every day?”

Of course, I’d love to hear that saying. He doesn’t have to ask me.

I nodded slightly and then swooped into his lap, inhaling the seductive mint scent of the man I love and happily receiving the loving kisses that fell on my soft hair.

His love for me is lavish and simple, it all resonates and gives me a feeling of lightheadedness, not paranoid but very real.

The night wind was cold, his heart was warm, and just like that, I fell into a beautiful dream. It wasn’t until the doorbell rang that I was startled awake.

I quickly grabbed Brian’s hand, opened my eyes and looked at the clock, and realized it was nine o’clock at night.

Oh my god, did I sleep that long? When I went up here with him, it was only eight o’clock.

“The mistress has returned.”

I wriggled out of his arms, ran down the stairs, and rushed to the gate.

The moment the gate opened, I thought I was dizzy because I saw that there was another car following Mrs. Alina. And I quickly realized that the girl in the driver’s seat was none other than Hellen.

As soon as she saw me, she waved her hand.

I intentionally locked the gate for a long time and then moved slowly step by step, but I still met Hellen and Mrs. Alina on the doorstep.

Hellen is holding a box of birthday cakes in her hands, the cake is not large, it is a cake for five people to eat. I noticed her face was flushed red, probably because she drank alcohol.

“Hello, Bella.” Hellen friendly reached out her hand and smiled brightly.

“Hello, Miss Hellen.”

“Where is Brian?”

Before I could answer, Brian appeared, he walked very slowly, his hands in his pockets, step by step approached us. Perhaps he was surprised too, so his bushy brows furrowed slightly.

“What’s up?” He asked.

“Ah. Hellen ended the party early because she wanted to go to our house, she wanted to celebrate her birthday with you.” Mrs. Alina happily answered on behalf of Hellen.

Next, Mrs. Alina handed me a few bags, inside were boxes of cooked food, and told me to heat them up and put them on the table.

I guess she and Hellen bought them from Li Bai restaurant.

The small party was quickly set up. Mrs. Alina urged Brian to help Hellen light the candles and then asked me to take a picture of the three of them.

While the two women were excited, Brian’s handsome face showed an annoyed expression. He glanced at me, but I immediately shook my head to signal him not to cause more trouble.

Maybe he really loves me so he understands what I mean, his right foot just moved a step and then retracted.

Honestly, the three of them looked like a family. Their wealth, confidence, and regal aura exude in the photo, very even and proportionate.

Suddenly, I realized that I and Brian have never taken any pictures together.

I don’t know when I stand next to him, will other people see that we are a good match?

The lights were quickly turned on and we all sat down together to raise our glasses to celebrate the supermodel’s birthday.

Brian used the excuse that he was busy handling some documents, so he only drank very little. And for that good reason, no one can force him.

While Brian and I were quiet and eating, Hellen freely recounted her memories of four years of celebrating her birthday with Brian in America.

She showed off the two gold rings she was wearing and the bracelet, the earrings were the four gifts he gave her on those four birthdays.

I really don’t understand. She keeps the gifts he gives and carries them with her which shows how much she cherishes them but why would she choose her career over him?

Brian’s family is glorious, he is smart, handsome, and talented. He totally deserves Hellen. Even if she maintains a relationship with him, it will not affect her career.

There are many models and actresses who have become famous and promoted in the artistic path by dating him. Unless he didn’t agree to let Hellen pursue that profession.

“Bella, please eat a lot, Hellen heard me say you like crabs, so she deliberately bought you more crabs.” Mrs. Alina took the big crab and put it on the empty plate in front of me and said.

“Oh, thank you, Miss Hellen.”

“No need to thank me, I’m happy if you like. At first, I didn’t like to eat crab, but since Brian helped me to peel the shell, I suddenly liked eating it and became addicted to it.”

I smiled wryly, nodding slightly in response to her statement. Why do I feel like Hellen discovered the shady relationship between me and Brian?

Every word she said seemed to be deliberately reminding me that she used to be the person Brian loved.

If I hadn’t listened to Brian’s explanation from the beginning, perhaps his silence at this time and Hellen’s relaxed, lively narratives would have made me think he and she were resuming an unfinished love.

I was in a bad mood and was a bit confused so I didn’t know if the crab meat was good or bad, even though I dipped it with a lot of salt, I still felt it was bland.

Maybe tonight I’ll have to drink water until I’m full.
