Warm tears fell onto her hand along with his kiss, causing a wave of heartache in her chest.
How much does this man really love her?
âDonât cry. If the waiter comes in with the food in a little while, they might think I bullied you,â said Valda.
âOkay, I wonât cry,â murmured Brian, âbut youâre the only one who can bully me.â
A moment later, when the waiter brought the dishes in, the manâs eyes were red and the woman was saying, âOkay, I promise I wonât do this again next time?â
What do you mean by ânot anymoreâ? The waiterâs mind was suddenly filled with various thoughts, until the manâs cold gaze swept over, and the waiter quickly put down the plate in his hand and walked out in a hurry.
âValda said, âYou seem to have scared the waiter.ââ
Brian said, âYou said it before, no backing out. You will be my wife for the rest of your life!â
âOkay, I wonât regret it. Iâm not a three-year-old child!â Valda said, raising her hand and touching his face again. âBrian, I donât know what our future will be like. Maybe my limp leg will make you face a lot of ridicule and criticism. People will say, âHow could the great Brian, the prince of the entertainment industry, marry a cripple as his wife?ââ
âNo one dares to say such things!â Brian said.
âEven if they donât say it to your face, theyâll say it behind your back,â Valda said. âThese criticisms are unavoidable, but⦠I donât want to be a coward. I will try to become better and make others see that even if I have a limp, Iâm not that bad. I will stand by your side if you donât let go, I wonât give up!â
Her face was full of determination.
He took the hand that was pressed against his cheek and brought it to his heart, leaned over, and whispered, âValda, I will never let go, so you can never give up.â
Her dark pupils reflected his handsome face.
âOkay,â she said, her lips slightly parted.
The next moment, his lips landed on hers.
This was their vow, and this kiss was their vow of commitment!
After finishing lunch, Brian accompanied Valda to repair her phone.
âDo you need to go back to the company? Actually, I can go fix the phone by myself,â Valda said, afraid of delaying his work.
Brian said, âIâll accompany you. If thereâs anything urgent at the company, the secretary will call me.
Where did you get your phone repaired?â
Valda gave the address for the phone repair.
Brian drove and took Valda to their destination. The storefront was located along the street and was easy to find.
Valdaâs phone wasnât ready for pick up for another 2 hours, so she decided to take Brian for a walk around the area.
âIf youâre tired, just let me know and we can find a nearby place to rest for a bit,â said Brian. He knew that Valda had difficulty walking and that walking long distances could easily tire her out more than the average person.
âOkay, I understand now,â said Valda, linking her arm with Brianâs.
âItâs just that I walk a bit slower, so please be patient with me.â
âIt doesnât matter how slowly you walk, Iâll be by your side,â he said.
Valda felt reassured by the simple sentence.
Itâs like she doesnât have to be afraid of anything as long as heâs by her side. I donât have to worry even if Iâm very busy.
