Last night was so wonderful for him.
Last night, he took advantage of her vulnerability to some extent.
He knew she was drunk, and although some of his actions may have been impulsive, he still allowed himself to act on them.
He is usually a very rational person, but now he finds that she seems to be quietly destroying his rationality without him realizing 1.
It wasnât a tumultuous wave that swept through his life, but rather a gentle and subtle presence that entered his world. Before he knew it, he couldnât imagine life without her.
âValdaâ¦â Brian murmured, as if the scent of her still lingered on his pillow, making him crave for more.
When Valda emerged from the bathroom, she only saw Brian getting dressed.
âYouâ¦you woke up?â She was a bit embarrassed, stuttering as she spoke.
âMhmm,â Brian responded, âAnd how about you? Howâs your body feeling? Are you experiencing any discomfort?â
As soon as he said this, her face turned even redder. âThereâs nothing uncomfortable, everythingâs fineâ¦,â she quickly replied.
He looked at her crimson cheeks and pondered for a moment before saying, âLast night, it was my fault.â
âNo, itâs not that⦠Itâs not something you should do, but Iâm taking the blame. Itâs my fault, I shouldnât have bullied youâ¦â
As soon as these words were spoken, Valda wanted to bite her own tongue.
Oh my goodness, what is she even saying? But clearly, her words have amused him.
Brian suddenly realized, âSo this is how you saw last night. Do you think that I was the one who bullied you?â
Her face was full of embarrassment, âProbablyâ¦I guess so.â
âThatâs something Iâm willing to be bullied by you,â Brian said, hesitated for a moment, and added, âBut thereâs something I shouldnât have done. Last night⦠I forgot to take precautions, so you need to take emergency contraception. Iâm sorry.â
Emergency contraception, although it doesnât have any significant negative effects on the body if taken occasionally, he would prefer not to rely on her taking the pill to prevent pregnancy if possible.
Just last night, he was so immersed in being with her that he forgot about this matter.
âNoâ¦you donât need to apologize. Yesterday, it was my initiative, and alsoâ¦â Valda paused, as if she had made up her mind, âIf this time, there really is a child, thenâ¦I want to give birth to it. Is that okay?â
He looked at her in shock. Does she know what sheâs saying right now?
âDo youâ¦want to give birth?â he asked.
âMhmm,â she nodded, âif there is one, I⦠want to give birth to it.â
Once, when she thought she might be pregnant, she believed that having an abortion would be the responsible thing to do for that life.
But now, her thoughts have changed from before.
âHave you ever thought about what it means to give birth?â he asked.
She nodded, âIt means Iâll be a mother and youâll be a father.â
âAnd it also means we have to get married!â Brian added. âValda, will you marry me?â
She looked at him seriously and nodded, âI will.â
âEven though I havenâtâ¦â he trailed off, finding it hard to say the words in this situation.
But she finished his sentence for him, âEven though you havenât fallen in love with me yet.â
She smiled and said, âBecause I believe you will fall in love with me in the future, soâ¦I might as well exercise my right now.â
