Chapter 23: Doubtful Girl
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

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 Day He Matured Chapter 27: Two Souls in Synchronicity
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
The Day He Matured Chapter 30: Unpleasant Atmosphere
When the little party was about to end, I went upstairs and prepared Hellen's room as Mrs. Alina told me, then went back down to clean up. Hellen was drunk, so Mrs. Alina and Brian had to carry her to the bedroom. The ground floor quickly became quiet, only my sighs and the sound of dishes lightly touching each other. After I finished my work, I returned to my comfortable bed, covered myself with blankets, and closed my eyes. However, I only closed my eyes for a moment when the message tone sounded. Brian asked me to bring him a glass of warm water. I know it's an excuse, he can go down to the kitchen and get some water. Honestly, I don't want to see him right now because there is another person in the house, if we are careless, we will be discovered immediately. When he's near me, if he doesn't hug me, he will kiss me, if he doesn't kiss me, he will stroke my hair, if he doesn't stroke my hair, he will look at me and say sweet words. Therefore, if someone accidentally sees tho

I like the atmosphere before the new year, it seems that this season of love also affects people's mood, everyone has a smile on their lips, very happy.
