As soon as he entered the room, Brian spoke up, âOkay, can we talk now?â
Valda suddenly reached out and wrapped her arms around Brianâs waist, burying her face in his embrace.
âWhatâs wrong?â Her appearance suddenly made him nervous.
âWhile watching the New Year Gala just now, I suddenly had an urge to cry,â she said. However, she didnât want her in-laws and godmother to see her cry, fearing they might misunderstand, so she made an excuse to go upstairs.
He paused for a moment, then lifted her face and asked, âAre you thinking about your parents?â
âWell, itâs more than that,â she sniffled and said, âWhen I was a child, during the New Year, my parents and I always watched the New Year Gala together. Later, when I was at my uncleâs house, their TV was in the master bedroom, so when we watched the New Year Gala, they would all be lying on the bed. At that time, I would sit far away on a small stool to watch, but I wasnât really happy. Laterâ¦I became independent and lived alone, so I watched the New Year Gala alone. Today, seeing all of you watching it with me, I suddenly felt like I wasnât so lonely anymore.â

Valda said, her eyes becoming even more moist, âBrian, Itâs so wonderful that I can marry you.â
He lowered his head and gently kissed the corner of her eye. âOkay, donât cry. From now on, you wonât watch the New Year Gala alone. We will all be with you, and in the future, our children will also be there to watch it with you.â
âWell, I wonât cry, wonât cry. Itâs such a happy day, I wonât cry,â said Valda, trying hard to hold back her tears and prevent them from falling.
Brian said, âAfter you give birth and recover, we will go visit your parents again and tell them the good news that our child is safe and healthy.â
âOkay,â Valda responded.
Brian gently embraced Valda and said, âLetâs stay upstairs for a while until you feel better, and then we can go back down.â
Valda nodded.
When the two finally came downstairs, it was already half an hour later.
The two of them went downstairs and the old Mrs. Hart said, âWhat are you carrying for so long? You missed the exciting show just now.â
Valdaâs face turned slightly red and she looked a bit embarrassed. After all, that was just an excuse and she didnât actually take anything.
âOkay, Mom, go ahead and continue watching the program,â Brian interrupted.
Mrs. Hart, who was elderly, looked at the two individuals and didnât say anything further.
Valda was just yawning and wanting to sleep when Brian accompanied her upstairs. However, the old Mrs. Hart came over and asked Brian to come out for a few words.
Brian walked outside the room and asked, âMom, is there anything you want to say?â
Mrs. Hart, the elderly woman, gave her son a stern look and asked, âTell me honestly, did you spend over half an hour upstairs with Valda because you couldnât resist?â
âCouldnât resist?â Brian was taken aback.
Old Mrs. Hart appeared to be deeply concerned and said, âAlthough I know that you and Valda have a good relationship and you love her very much, Valda is now pregnant with such a big belly. No matter how unbearable it is, you have to endure it. Itâs already the last moment. If something unexpected happens, I wonder how much you will regret it!â
Brian finally understood what his mother was referring to and couldnât help but laugh and cry at the same time. He said, âMom, itâs not what you think it is.â
âNo, then tell me, what is it like?â asked the old Mrs. Hart.
