Yes, this is a difficult path, but she wants to believe that Brian Hartâs feelings for her go far beyond liking. His reluctance to let her go and fear of her getting hurt⦠all these emotions will eventually turn into love for her!
After leaving The Reed residence, Valda Theller called Brian Hartâs phone.
âValda Theller?â Brian Hartâs voice came from the phone.
âWhere are you?â Valda Theller asked.
âAt the villa, why?â Brian Hart replied.
âYouâre not on the side of your mansion?â Valda Theller was a little surprised. She thought he would be resting at the Hart familyâs estate.
âNo, I wanted some peace and quiet. If I rested at home, I probably wouldnât get any peace.â Brian Hart said. Besides, his injury was not a big problem anymore. Apart from not being able to engage in strenuous exercise recently, not being able to lift heavy objects, and having to pay attention to his diet, everything else was no different from an ordinary person.
âThen⦠I want to come and see you, is that okay?â she said.
After a while his 214 âIâm not coming to see you out of obligation, I have something to say to you.â Valda Theller took a deep breath.
âYou can say it over the phorie.â Brian Hart said.
âLetâs say it in person.â Valda Theller said, because saying it in person would be more solemn. She wanted him to understand her seriousness.
âOkay, Iâll send someone to pick you up.â he said.
âNo need, Iâll come by myself. Wait for me!â Valda Theller said, and then quickly ended the call.
Brian Hart looked down at his phone. What did she want to say to him?
He was afraid that he had expectations, and in the end, it would only lead to disappointment.
Valda Theller took a taxi and soon arrived at the entrance of Brian Hartâs villa. When she pressed the doorbell, a servant came to open the door.
âMiss Theller, right? The young master is waiting for you inside.
Please follow me.â the servant said.
Valda Theller followed the servant and came into the room.
Brian Hart was sitting on the sofa in the living room at the moment.
When he saw her, he dismissed the servant and said, âOkay, you can say what you want to say to me now.â
Valda Theller took a deep breath and looked at the person in front of her, âDo you⦠still think that if you were to fall in love with someone in this lifetime, that person can only be me?â
His eyes narrowed slightly. What was she trying to say?
Brian Hart slowly stood up and walked step by step towards Valda Theller. Could it be possible? The words she wanted to say to him today, could they be what he was thinking?
His heart was beating faster, and even his breathing seemed to become more rapid.
Would he really not be disappointed? Sometimes, when expectations are too high, disappointment can become even more desperate.
âDo you know what youâre asking?â he whispered.
âI know.â she said with great certainty.
He pursed his thin lips and after a while, he said hoarsely, âYes, if I were to fall in love with someone in this lifetime, I think that person can only be you. What about you? Do you want me to fall in love with you? Or do you want to completely cut ties with me?â
His pitch-black eyes stared at her intently.
tu and fear in those Was all of this because of her?
This man actually likes her very much, doesnât he?
She slowly raised her hand and stroked his face.
His body stiffened, but he didnât avoid it. Instead, he let her hand gently stroke his face.
âBrian Hart, how much do you really like me?â Valda Theller murmured, âIf love is worth 100 points, how much do you like me? 95 points? 90 points? Or 80 points?â
He looked at her, but didnât know how to answer. Even he himself was not sure how much he liked her.
âValda Theller, Iâ¦â
Her finger pressed against his lips, stopping him from saying what he was about to say.
