The Day He Matured

In the afternoon, when the doorbell repairman had just left, I received a phone call from Mrs. Alina; she informed me that she had to go to a partner’s party, so she would not eat at home, telling me not to wait.

Originally, they sent out the invitations last week, but because she was so busy with work, she forgot about it. Now that her assistant reminded her, she suddenly remembered.

Closer to the end of the year, companies often organize parties and invite each other to create opportunities to communicate and strengthen relationships.

Hana Group has quite a large influence on the domestic economy, of course, there are many people who want to maintain a relationship with Mrs. Alina because she is the legal representative of Hana Corporation in this country.

“I wish Brian would go to the party, too. That way, I don’t have to sit and eat with him.”

My wish never came true. When the hands of the clock struck six o’clock, the doorbell rang.

I opened the gate for him with my fake cheerful face, even though my heart was heavy.

However, when this guy saw me smiling, he thought I was really happy. As soon as he parked the car, he ran up to me and walked with me into the house.

“My mother is busy today, she will be home late.” Brian spoke up.

“She called me already. You take a shower and then come down to have dinner.”

After saying that, I walked faster, passed him, and entered the kitchen.

Although Brian smiled and said, I could recognize the fatigue and listlessness on his handsome face. His shirt, which had been flat this morning, was now visibly rumpled.

In just a few nights, a lot of assets evaporated. If it were me, I would be bedridden, unable to eat or drink, let alone carry my briefcase to work.

If the maid is allowed to eat before the master, then I will have dinner early. However, even if no one said it, I still knew it was taboo.

Normally, I would have to eat later, but his mother and he allowed me to eat with them, it was an honor for me.

In the past, I used to eat rice with only Brian many times.

However, at that time, there was no sexual relationship between the two of us, so even if I was teased by him, my feelings were not as heavy as a thousand-pound rock on me like now.

“Do not need. I have hands. I can pick it up myself.” I grimaced in displeasure as he took the best piece of meat from the plate and put it in my cup.

“So why not pick up the food and just eat white rice? Bella, you broke the precept, but you still plan to become a monk?”

I smirked, really wanted to throw the cup in his face for him to say less.

I want to take a knife and cut open his chest to see what color his heart is, what is it made of, and what it looks like.

Honestly, I feel he is like a maze. I couldn’t understand his true thoughts, even though I tried to observe.

“Today I met Martin at the mall.” I spoke up after swallowing the whole piece of meat in my stomach.

“So what?”

“You hit him hard too, right? His eyes are like pandas. He looks so pitiful. Ah, he went with Naomi.”

“So what? What do you tell me all this for?”

My eyes widened as I looked at the person opposite, but apart from the image of myself in those dark brown pupils, there was nothing else.

Maybe I guessed wrong. Maybe Brian is no longer interested in Naomi because the person he is targeting is Hellen.

If so, why did he beat Martin? Itchy hands? Or itchy feet?

“Nothing. Because I saw the two of them shopping together.”

“Me and Naomi broke up in peace. No matter who she’s with, you don’t have to tell me.”

“I know. I will not say anymore.”

During the meal, Brian just leaned down to eat without saying a word. I was also silent, tried to eat quickly, and then got up and went back to the kitchen, pretending to clean, and wipe the walls.

Why have I suddenly turned into a talkative person?

Originally, I just wanted to see what his face was like, but when I saw that he looked a bit frustrated and sad, I suddenly felt guilty.

“Bella, when you finish your work, come to the terrace to meet me for a while.”

Brian spoke up and quickly walked away. When I turned around, he was gone.

Is he angry? Is he going to call me up to the rooftop and then shove me to the ground?

Chills began to creep through my whole body.

Martin is Brian’s best friend and if he was beaten to the point of bruising his eyes, I would definitely be more miserable.

Maybe tomorrow I’ll turn into a panda.

Impossible. I have to keep my face fresh and beautiful to take pictures with the big pine tree in the square.

I still have to find my other half to rely on him this winter and also for the rest of my life.

My face was already wrinkled, and my bones were starting to age. I don’t want to turn into an old lady and then start dating.

I tried to wash the dishes very slowly. A bowl takes a minute to wash, and a plate takes two minutes to wash. It takes five minutes to wipe the table and five minutes to wipe it again.

While working, I prayed for Mrs. Alina to return soon. As long as I use the excuse that I’m busy massaging her shoulders and back, Brian won’t be able to force me to go to the rooftop.

After cleaning, I still didn’t hear the doorbell ring, so I went to the corner of the kitchen to play with the phone.

Of course, I didn’t dare to play online games for fear that Brian would find out that I had finished my work. I just opened some games saved in my phone to play to kill time.

I was in the middle of a game when I was interrupted by his incoming call.

I took a deep breath and clicked to listen.

“Have you finished cleaning? Why haven’t you come up here yet?” His voice is quite loud, as if he is standing behind me.

“Still haven’t.” I quickly replied.

“Turn around.”

Hearing Brian say that, I also reflexively turned around.

What caught my eye was the image of a tall man standing with his back against the wall, holding a phone in his hand. His appearance is quite leisurely.

I was so surprised that I couldn’t control myself and shouted.

“Oh… my god… you… since when have you been standing there?”

“It’s been over ten minutes. Hurry up.”

Brian walked away as soon as he finished speaking.

I also had no other choice, so I had to obediently follow him like a puppy.

Right now I just wish his house had a few more floors so that the stairs were longer so I could buy time.

Out of habit, as soon as I reached the terrace, I immediately looked up at the sky.

Winter doesn’t have as many stars as summer. However, a few lonely twinkling stars in the dark sky brought me more emotion than the countless stars that covered the sky.

I feel they are precious, fragile, and easily lost.

“If you have something to say to me, say it.” I lowered my head and lowered my voice.

“Bella, please come close.” Brian turned his head and waved his hand to signal.

God, I’m scared I’m falling down and this guy is forcing me to get close to the railing.

Is it because I think too much? Brian has the guts to hit people, but how can he have the guts to kill people? Surely he won’t take revenge because he hates me, right?

“Close your eyes, Bella.” He continued to demand when I was only a foot away from him.This belongs to NôvelDrama.Org: ©.

Life or death is fate.

I nodded and did as Brian said.

After a few seconds of silence, I felt his warm hand take mine and lift it up.

However, I still dare not open my eyes without his permission. However, the moment I felt something cool sliding into my finger, I suddenly opened my eyes wide.

Like a dream, on my finger is a platinum ring with a huge diamond in the middle.

Didn’t Brian say that he would buy it for me when he went to the US to visit his grandfather? Did he go to America and come back the same day?

I really didn’t think he would buy me such a big diamond ring.

Could it be that he really loves me, leaving me a tiny corner in his heart that contains countless beauties?

“This…”

“For you. I told you I’d give you anything you wanted, even myself.”

Oh, if I didn’t know that Brian used to date dozens of beautiful girls, just broke up with Naomi not long ago, and was thinking about Hellen, I would have been touched by him.

I would certainly be so touched that I would burst into tears and swoop into his lap, frantically telling him that I love him.

“You haven’t been to America yet.”

“Early Christmas present. I’ll be back after Christmas, so I want to give it to you first.”

“But… this diamond is too big. Isn’t Sunshine Bank losing money because of buying shares of Milan Group? Why you…”

“Ten carats. I chose the number ten because it represents perfection.”

“Ten carats. Oh, my gosh. How much money?” I opened my eyes wide in surprise and looked at him.

“Two hundred and fifty thousand dollars.”

“Two… two hundred and fifty thousand dollars?”
