The Day He Matured

Only a few days left until New Year’s Eve. These days, the market is more crowded than usual and the streets are also busier.

I like the atmosphere before the new year, it seems that this season of love also affects people’s mood, everyone has a smile on their lips, very happy.

And even if they collided with each other, they would laugh and ask questions, ignore it, but unlike usual, one would curse the other, scream, ask for compensation…

Today is the last Sunday of the old year, so it took me almost an hour to walk out of the market with a basket full of food. Every day, it only takes me about half an hour.

This year, just like two years ago, I will celebrate the new year alone because Mrs. Alina and Brian will fly to the US to celebrate the new year with his grandfather, Harold, and Harold’s mother.

The president of Hana Corporation has two sons, both of them died on a fateful flight nearly ten years ago.

He tried to suppress the pain, alone to handle the business activities of the corporation. Only when Harold and Brian grew up, his burden was somewhat reduced.

“Brian.”Content held by NôvelDrama.Org.

I whispered the name of my beloved and stopped in front of the fitness center. As far as I know, Brian often goes to District 1 to exercise, when did he change his address without me knowing?

Through the glass door, I was passionately watching Brian on the treadmill. Day by day, I am more and more fascinated by that beauty. He’s handsome from every angle, even his back is very handsome.

If I had a child with him, I would prefer the first child to be a boy, just like him.

Seeing him step off the treadmill and wipe the sweat from the tip of his nose with his hand, I quickly turned my back and went back to the villa.

After that birthday party, Hellen didn’t visit the mansion anymore, I guess it was because she was busy.

Moreover, I have overheard Mrs. Alina’s phone conversation, so I know Hellen will also fly on the same flight tomorrow with her and Brian.

So I think he and Hellen will see each other again soon, so she won’t try to meet him.

While I was busy cooking, Brian came back. He didn’t ring the bell, opened the gate himself, and went straight to the kitchen to get filtered water to drink.

The moment I turned around and caught him leaning against the wall, leisurely drinking water while looking at me made me almost faint.

I might have to flip his paw up to see if it’s cushioned like a cat’s because his steps are barely audible.

Instead of being a bank president, I think a career as a thief also suits him very well.

“Don’t look anymore.” I glared at him and spoke in a low voice but tried to make my mouth big so he could understand.

“Do not want.” Brian imitated my gesture and replied with a wide mouth.

I want to stuff this hot, crispy fried squid into this man’s mouth.

Before I could say anything more, he strode over quickly and kissed me on the lips. Before letting go of me, he deliberately bit my lip and rubbed it a few times.

This guy’s liver is getting bigger and bigger. If he’s hungry, he can tell me to feed him with fried squid, why would he want to eat my lips?

I’m so ashamed. It seems that the blood in my body is rushing to my face.

“Are you angry with me?” He whispered softly in my ear.

“No.” I answered curtly, turned to the kitchen, and continued cooking.

“I will fly to America tomorrow, can I kiss you?”

“You think I’ll miss you, don’t you? Go away, stay away from me, and don’t think.” I deliberately hum the last line of the song “You just go.”

“Do you want me to stay?” He runs his fingers through my hair, twisting it into a curl.

“If I say I want, will you stay?” I sighed and asked.

As a result, I was kissed on the cheek by Brian; he kissed me so hard that I thought my cheeks were sunken, sticking to my jaw. And then, he turned his back and strode quickly.

Honestly, I don’t want to be away from him at all. I would like to celebrate the new year with him very much, I want to be taken by him to the riverside to watch the fireworks and hold his hand at the moment of transferring the old year to the new year.

Brian asked but did not answer, proving that he could not stay. I know, I understand and I sympathize with him.

He is one of the two grandsons of the president of Hana Corporation, one of the two brightest heirs in the future, how could he stay just for a lover?

His grandfather would be sad if Brian didn’t come to America to celebrate the New Year with him.

I had just finished placing the dishes on the table when Brian and his mother also came down.

I guess after this meal, he will ask me to go up to his room, help him fold the clothes, and put them in the suitcase.

Mrs. Alina never persecuted me like him, she will do those things herself.

I clearly remember one time when he put a lizard in a bag of colored pebbles that scared me to cry, so I harbored the idea of revenge.

So, on that business trip, I bought a short black skirt and put it in his suitcase instead of shorts.

I have to admit that this man is very obedient; he took the clothes to wear in the order that I arranged.

On the third day, he returned to the hotel after the meeting, took his clothes to take a shower, and discovered the miniskirt.

At that time, through the phone screen, he held up a short female skirt and a man’s T-shirt for me to see. I pretended to be panicking, saying that maybe I put my clothes in his clothes by mistake, but inside I was laughing hysterically.

Finally, Brian had to go out to buy shorts. When we got home, he kept looking at me as if he wanted to pierce me.

After that, he always carefully checked his clothes every time I packed his luggage before dragging the suitcase out the door.

“Mom, you go to America with Hellen, I will stay here.”

As soon as the piece of rice entered my mouth, Brian’s words suddenly rang out, making me unable to chew anymore.

I opened my eyes wide to look at him, and he calmly picked up the fried squid and put it in the bowl.

“What’s wrong with you? We’ve already booked the tickets.” Mrs. Alina also stopped the chopsticks and her eyes widened like mine.

“I feel unwell.” Brian answered.

“You can reschedule the flight date. But… how do you feel inside of you?”

“I’m tired. The work of the last days of the year and the projects of the beginning of the new year have exhausted me, I want to be alone and rest.”

“Yes, there’s been a lot of change this year. But your grandfather will be sad. I see that you are still fine.” Mrs. Alina’s voice is full of depression.

“Do you wait until I lie down to believe that I am tired? I’m trying.”

As soon as he finished speaking, she laughed. Although her tone still carried a lot of regret, she still nodded in agreement and advised him to eat and drink a lot, keep his mind relaxed, and temporarily let go of thoughts related to work.

Then, she turned to me and told me to take care of her son and cook nutritious food for Brian.

I said yes and nodded like a chicken eating rice.

What the hell is going on inside my head? Why do the dishes that Mrs. Alina told me to cook for Brian make me think of the health benefits of kidney tonic and sexual enhancement?

Maybe I’m going crazy. Why have I turned into a pervert?

If Brian knew what was affecting my thoughts at this time, he would be surprised. His eyes will bulge, and he will gape. Certainly so.

The meal ended in a quiet atmosphere. The two of them went back to their room, and I stayed to clean up and wait for the people who delivered the ornamental kumquats, sunflowers, chrysanthemums, and apricot blossoms to open the gate.

Not only this year, every year, although I am the only one staying here, Mrs. Alina still buys a lot of flowers and places them all over the house and yard.

She said we need to decorate the house brightly to have the atmosphere of spring and attract fortune and luck.

I was sitting in front of the steps, enjoying the wind and waiting for the flower delivery people, when I was startled when a large hand suddenly placed on my shoulder.

When I saw Brian’s face, my heart was still jumping wildly. I thought he was taking a nap.

“I came down here to help them carry flowers into the house, they just called.”

Brian gently explained as he sat down on the steps like me, but the distance between us was quite far.

We should keep this distance, if we sit too close, when his mother suddenly appears, I will reflexively push him down.

At that time, I am sure Mrs. Alina will kick me out of the house, and I will have to celebrate the New Year under the bridge. And after I celebrated the New Year, I had to pay for the breach of contract because I injured this lovely master.

“Brian.” I called softly.

“I’m here.”

“You… ah, you… why do you…”

“I want to celebrate New Year’s Eve with you, take you to the riverside to watch fireworks, say “happy new year” to you, eat cake and candy with you, and… take you back to your hometown to visit your parents’ graves.”

The bridge of my nose was involuntarily stinging, tears blurring my vision.

Brian can read my mind, right? He chose me instead of returning to America to reunite with his family.

I really don’t want to be the cause of the separation of his reunion festival with his relatives.

However, I still have my own wishes. Only this first year, in the following years, I will not selfishly beg him to stay with me to welcome Spring.

At this moment, I just want to rush over to him, hug him, cry, and say thank you to him so that he can comfort me, and pet me.

The bad guy in my previous thoughts has turned into a good guy in my heart. I love him to death.

“Thank you, Brian. I… I’m really happy.” I blinked to get a better look at his face and said softly.

“Uh. I am also very happy. Bella, my spring.”

We both smiled and looked at each other for a long time, then looked out at the large gate. The spring air is gradually coming to the villa with high walls.

In a little while, yellow flowers will bloom, color this place and our budding love.

Tomorrow, I’m going to go buy jams, roasted watermelon seeds, and lots of food. I will celebrate a warm and meaningful new year with the one I love.
