After dinner, Valda said she would stay overnight with Lisa in the apartment.
âToday is the first day my godmother came to Emerald City. Sheâs not familiar with you yet, so if you stay here tonight, she might feel uncomfortable. You should go back to the villa alone tonight, and Iâll stay here with my godmother,â Valda said.
Although Brian understood, his expression still fell a bit. After all, if Valda stayed here tonight, it meant he had to go back to the villa alone.
âThenâ¦shall I come pick you up tomorrow morning to go to the studio?â Brian asked.
âNo need. Iâm not going to the studio tomorrow. Iâll spend the next few days with my godmother, shopping around Emerald City and buying things she needs. Itâs also a good opportunity to help her get familiar with the place,â Valda said.
âIn that case, Iâll arrange a driver. If I have time, Iâll join you guys for a walk,â Brian said.
âOkay,â Valda replied.
At night, Valda didnât go back to her own room. Instead, she slept with Lisa on one bed.
During that year, she also slept in Lisaâs bed at Lisaâs house, which was the only bed available.
Lying together like this reminded Valda of those difficult days. For her, those days were only a memory from two months of sobriety, but for Lisa, they lasted a whole year.
âAuntie, please feel at ease staying here. My parents passed away when I was very young, so from now on, you are like a second mother to me. So please donât worry or feel uneasy staying here. If thereâs anything that makes you uncomfortable, please donât hesitate to tell me.â Valda spoke softly.
Lisa said with relief, âValda, I know youâre a good kid. When I saved you before, I never expected anything in return.
Besides, I wasnât sure if I could adapt to living in this big city, andâ¦â
Lisa hesitated for a moment, unsure whether or not to continue speaking.
âWhatâs wrong? Godmother, if thereâs anything you want to say between us, just go ahead and say it,â
Valda said.
âI can tell that Brian is a good person, he treats you well and heâs been good to me too. But Iâm just a country girl and I can see that Brian seems pretty wealthy. He has a villa to live in, a car to drive, and he can even afford to hire a caregiver for me.
If you bring me over to live with you now, and I embarrass you in any way, would that affect your relationship with Brian and your future marriage?â
Lisa is afraid that her rural background and inability to speak well will have a negative impact on her goddaughter.
To Valda, who initially saved the other person, it was just an act of kindness at first. Because her own daughter had passed away, she hoped to do everything in her power to save Valda.
But as they spent more time together, she began to treat Valda like her own daughter and took care of her.
Later on, Valda accepted the role of being a godmother. She cried for a long time and was also happy for a long time. She never expected that when she grew old, God would give her another daughter.
Whatâs even more unexpected is that now, this daughter is living in a big city that her parent never even dared to dream of bringing her to before.
All of this actually made her feel a bit anxious, afraid that she might ruin her goddaughterâs wedding plans.
âGodmother, donât worry, you wonât affect my marriage with Brion. The reason why Brian and one to hopey now is all because of you saving the Ae for you, just enjoy your life hers from now on Volde sord
