Chapter 21: Confused
Me and Caily just stood like pillars, letting the three of them talk. I can't hear what they're saying anymore. It wasn't until Hellen called my name and said goodbye that I was freed from my thoughts.
“Yes, goodbye.” I tried to smile to hide my panic.
Not long after Brian and Hellen left, Richard called the waiter to pay. Caily asked for my phone number and also left the restaurant after her fat boss and a few business partners staggered toward the main door.
I just knew that she worked as a salesperson for a company specializing in providing security equipment.
“Are you not feeling well, Bella?” Richard stared at my face and asked.
“Oh, yes. Caily makes me so dizzy, I…”
Richard burst out laughing, nodded slightly, and stood up. I quickly got up from the chair and left with him.
The terror brought by Brian made the shame towards Richard fly away.
I was busy worrying about my future fo

I stood in front of Brian's study door with a plate of noodles and a glass of milk for a long time, breathing deeply many times before daring to enter.Why should I be afraid of him? He's hanging out with Hellen, why can't I go out to eat with Richard? We do not have any legal documents binding each other.“Here's your food.” I put the glass of milk and the plate of noodles on the table and said.Hearing the sound of the window slamming shut due to the wind, I quickly walked over, locking the latch.Seeing the lighted windows on the far building gradually turn off, I enjoyed watching, feeling like it was a child's game.“Bella, the milk is too hot.”Brian's call made me jump and rush to the desk. However, in an instant, my face turned stupid, and I opened my eyes wide to look at him.This guy, if he feels the milk is too hot, he has to blow it to cool it down. Does he want to force me to blow it for him?

I looked at him for a long time and then blinked a few times, using the tip of my fingernails to poke my skin to confirm this wasn't a dream.However, his not-so-beautiful past made me hesitate, not knowing if I should open my heart to receive this wild horse.Can I tame him? Just thinking about one day I was abandoned by him, I was extremely scared. At this point, I am self-deprecating, no longer confident.“Bella, I'm telling the truth.” Brian put both hands on my face, affirming.“Ah… Brian… I… I need to rethink this.” I stammered out.“Why? Because of Richard?” He pressed his hands to my cheeks, making me feel like my face was turning into a triangle.“Not. I no longer like him.” I replied quickly because I did not want to break my jawbone.“If so, why should you think?”“I'm afraid.” I pulled his hand away, sat on a nearby chair, a
The Day He Matured Chapter 24: Things That Couples Usually Do

The feeling of lying on the bed, eating snacks while looking at him through the phone screen is great.I miss him so much and also look forward to the day he comes back to me. I miss the masculine scent of mint lingers on his body, his soft hands, and his loving eyes that are only for me.Today is Saturday, Mrs. Alina only worked half a day and then went home.After dinner, she invited me to watch an entertainment program with her.Sometimes, I peeked at her, wondering how she would react if she knew that I and Brian were in love.I understand she's looking forward to him and

As soon as Brian put one knee on the bed, about to climb up, I grabbed the pillow and put it in front of my chest, leaning against the wall, staring at him with wide eyes.On the opposite side, the man in the sky-blue shirt was also staring at me with wide eyes. We both looked at each other for a long time.“What's wrong with you?” He asked bewilderedly.“I… I… I'm not ready.” I stammered out.“Lady, I just want to hug you to sleep, I'm so tired, I can't do anything to you.” Brian raised his hand to rub a few times on his forehead and explained.Then he lay down and patted his left arm lightly, gesturing to me. He really doesn't seem to have the strength to do that. His eyelids were half closed, waiting.I took a deep breath, slowly crawling over, gently resting my head on his arm.I've only seen this romantic scene in movies before, but now I've been able to practice. My heart began t
The Day He Matured Chapter 26: Simple happiness
Leaving the barbecue restaurant, Brian took me to the sweet soup restaurant. When he stopped at a red light, he leaned over and kissed my hair lightly, and then frowned.“Your body is full of barbecue smell.”“But there are people who still like to smell it. You think you still smell mint, don't you? Your body now stinks of grilled pork, grilled beef, and grilled fish.” I enjoyed saying a long sentence, and not giving in to him.“We'll have to take a bath again, I should have asked you to eat boiled meat.”He shrugged and drove the car away when the traffic light just turned green.I smiled, looking at the busy traffic on the other side of the road.Happiness for me is simply moments like this, being at peace with him, no need for him to say sweet words, no need for sweet, hot kisses. As long as I'm next to him, knowing that his heartbeat is in sync with my own.The sweet soup shop that Brian chose

The car left the park and ran to the music education center. As far as I know, this place is also the property of Hana Corporation. I heard that Brian's grandfather loves to play musical instruments and that he can play many types of instruments from piano, and violin to saxophone. Although he built a solid career in the US, before that, he lived here for twenty years. That is also the reason he chose his hometown as the first place to expand his business, before the branches in Singapore or Thailand. “Hello, Mr. Brian.” The security guard bowed when Brian had just lowered the windshield. The large gate was quickly opened, and Brian slowly drove inside. Because there were no students or teachers here at this time, he didn't run to the parking lot but stopped right in front of the steps leading upstairs. Brian held my hand and walked up the steps. Just now, only the lampposts in the large courtyard were lit, but now the path was also illuminated with electric light. Previously,
The Day He Matured Chapter 28: Stealth Love
Another day passed like every other day, I was working around the large villa alone. I miss Brian more and more every day. Sometimes, thinking about the kiss he gave me every morning, I feel the sweetness spreading in my mouth even though I don't eat candy. It's been almost a week since Richard confessed his feelings for me, so today, I decided to tell him my feelings so that he won't waste time on me anymore. Honestly, if Brian and I don't become a couple, I still can't accept Richard because my love for him has drifted to the end of the sky. Time did not erase my image in his heart, but it made me forget the first unrequited love in my life. If we had confessed, dated, picked up, and used to have sweet memories together, even if it was very few, I would not have forgotten so easily. After all, the memory is just the times when I stood looking at him from afar with admiring eyes. “I'm listening, Bella.” A warm male voice came from the other side of the phone. “Richard. I call
The Day He Matured Chapter 29: Hellen's Birthday
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 pretendin
