The Day He Matured

After a night of making love to the point of exhaustion, I woke up in Brian’s arms. And he was still sleeping.

Brian’s face, his body, and the diamond ring on my ring finger told me I wasn’t dreaming.

Out of habit, I used my index finger to move from his forehead to the tip of his nose, then draw around the thin lip line.

“Ah, why did you bite me?” I screamed when Brian suddenly bit my finger.

“You’ve been bitten by me many times but you still don’t stop this habit. How’s that? Do you miss me?”

This guy knew and still asked questions. I frowned and nodded. If I was stubborn and shook my head, he would have grabbed me and made love to me one more time. I should not provoke him.

“I told you to stay at home and I would arrange to go home early, but why did you sulk, neglect the company, and drink alcohol?” Brian grabbed my cheek and stretched it. His voice sounded as if he was dissatisfied.

“Why did you lie to me when you came back to America to meet your grandfather? Didn’t your grandfather allow you to contact me?” I didn’t answer but asked him back.

“Because you always only think about others, never about yourself.”

While I was bewildered because I didn’t understand the meaning of Brian’s words, he pulled me into his arms.

After sighing, he slowly told me everything. It turned out that Hellen came to find Brian that day to inform him of his grandfather’s health situation and also to help his grandfather deliver a handwritten letter to him.

Because she took a taxi from the airport to BB company, he had to take her to the hotel, where a group of friends flying on the same flight as her were gathering.

Since the day Brian gave up his position as an heir and came here to start a business, his grandfather’s health also clearly declined and then he had a heart attack and had to be hospitalized for treatment.All content is © N0velDrama.Org.

Harold temporarily put aside his work to take care of his grandfather and at his grandfather’s request, he gave the letter to Hellen, asking her to give it to Brian because he called but Brian did not answer the phone. And he knew that if he sent the message through me, Brian probably wouldn’t believe it.

“When I arrived in America, my grandfather had just been discharged from the hospital. Harold and I went to the quietest town in America, Green Bank, and stayed with my grandfather for a week. There was no internet, no phone. That’s why I told you in advance because I was afraid you would worry.”

Oh, so there is such a place? I don’t know. I didn’t know that town existed. I thought that no matter how busy Brian was, he would have a few minutes to send me a text message, call me on the phone, and say a few words.

Brian hugged me more and more tightly. Maybe he also tried very hard because he missed me so much. I could feel the emotion in every word he said.

He said that when he was away from electronic devices, away from the attempts to make money, away from the hustle and bustle of a busy life, he realized that Harold and his grandfather had no grudge against him. And he realized that they truly loved him and considered him their relative.

“Bella, because you opened your arms to receive me when I had nothing left, my grandfather changed his mind.” He gently pushed me away, grabbed my chin and petted me.

“It’s because he loves you and is afraid you will have to work hard. Brian, the people around you love you very much, it’s just that you don’t open your heart and put aside your inferiority complex about your status to be able to see that. Before you came back here, Mr. Harold called me and told me to stay by your side, otherwise, I wouldn’t know and wouldn’t come pick you up.”

Brian’s nose turned red like a tomato, but maybe because he was a man, he tried to hold back his tears.

However, when he heard me say that when we had an accident on the way to the coastal city, his mother told me to save him first, he cried like a child.

Since the day we got back together, neither of us mentioned the accident that left a deep scar in our hearts, and I didn’t tell him this either.

But now I want to tell him so he knows that Mrs. Alina loves him like her own son. Maybe because she didn’t give birth to him, she couldn’t guess his deep thoughts through his expressions and actions.

Maybe at first, she adopted him to maintain her position in Hana Group, but when she accompanied him and took care of him for a long time, she loved him more than herself and her life.

I don’t want Brian to feel inferior about his true identity. I want him to know that he is very valuable in the hearts of relatives who are not related by blood, including me.

Because we hugged each other and cried for ten minutes, my eyes and his eyes were swollen and looked extremely ugly.

As a result, we had to postpone the marriage registration date to tomorrow and then boil some eggs to apply eye compresses to reduce swelling.

If Brian and I brought each other to the People’s Committee at this time, they would think we were forced into marriage. If a man and a woman were willing to get married, no one would cry so much that their eyes were swollen like this.

“Brian, what do you mean when you say you have to lie to me because I always only think about others and never think about myself?” I asked while applying the egg compress back and forth on his eyes.

“If you knew that my grandfather fell ill because of me, you would probably choose to leave me in exchange for wealth for me and health for my grandfather, right?” Brian grabbed my hand, looked at me with wide eyes, and asked.

“Right.”

I quickly covered my mouth with my hand because I accidentally said a word I shouldn’t have said.

Just as I was worried, he left my knee, sat up, and stared at me.

“Please Bella, without money I can still work and live, but without you, I will be heartbroken and die. You think I will hold a pile of money and live well even without you, right?”

“I’m sorry. From now on, I won’t be like that anymore, I will stick to you. Even if you turn into a beggar, I’ll still stick to you. I will think about this love, regardless of everything.”

“Okay, from now on we’ll stick together like glue, there will never be a chance to misunderstand each other. I will put you in my suitcase and take you with me every time I go far.”

What is Brian talking about? Don’t I have legs? He just needs to take me with him, why does he want to stuff me into a suitcase?

Maybe there won’t be anything that will force me to let go of Brian’s hand because his relatives have accepted me. The sun has risen, the rain has stopped, and there are no more storms.

Throughout the day, Brian and I did not leave each other for even half a step. I have to admit that there is no greater nostalgia than missing a lover.

Even when we hugged each other in our arms, merged into each other’s bodies, and gave all our souls and bodies to each other, we still felt we missed each other so much.

After all, how resilient were Brian and I to overcome such a long time without each other?

That’s the power of love, faith, hope, right?

When the sunshine visited again, Brian drove me to the company to get my phone, took a look at the factory, resolved some outstanding work, and then together we went to the People’s Committee to register our marriage.

After submitting all the documents, he clasped my hands and sat with me on the stone bench, waiting anxiously. This is a big turning point in a person’s life. I noticed that the man next to me was as nervous as I was.

In a little while, we will be a legal couple. In a little while, his name and my name will be printed on a pink piece of paper, proving that eternal love.

And then when we received the marriage certificate, we both burst into happiness. Brian ignored everyone’s eyes, picked me up, and spun me around.

A few seconds later, the photo of us holding that pink piece of paper was posted on his official personal page with more than five hundred thousand followers.

“Post it on your clone account too.” I leaned towards him and suggested.

“Here, Zalo, Instagram, etc., I will let you appear on all social networks, my wife.”

The word “wife” is so dear. I leaned on his arm, staring at his beautiful fingers working on the phone screen to inform everyone about this hundred-year relationship.

“This weekend, let’s go home. Our home, where our love begins.” He turned off the phone and turned to look at me.

“Yes, I will follow you.” I nodded and replied shyly.

Now I am Brian’s wife, whether he takes me up the mountain or drags me into the sea, I will obediently follow him.

Perfect happiness smiled upon me. Perhaps up in the sky, my parents are also smiling and blessing their daughter.

The weekend came very quickly and the moment I stepped out of the gate of the house, I felt sad.

This place has left my footprints for two years, sheltering me throughout many rainy and sunny seasons.

“Don’t you want to leave this place? Or I’ll just buy this house and sometimes come back here with you to reminisce about those nights of lovemaking.” Brian brought his lips close to my ear and whispered.

“Pervert, is that all you can think of?”

Even though I scolded Brian, I still smiled and followed him to the car.

Yesterday, Caily came to the villa to help Brian and I clean up for a whole day. Today, she followed Kelvin to attend his grandfather’s death anniversary.

Even though she has a rich lover, she still enthusiastically helps her friends.

The love between Caily and Kelvin made his parents surrender their two sons, accepting Naomi and my best friend into their family.

Because Kelvin was determined to protect this love, threatening his parents that he would move out and give up his inheritance, the powerful couple had to accept their son’s choice. They also cannot give away their property to strangers.

“I only turn into a pervert when I’m with you, my dear.” Brian gently squeezed my waist, his voice full of affection.
