The Day He Matured

I looked at him for a long time and then blinked a few times, using the tip of my fingernails to poke my skin to confirm this wasn’t a dream.

However, his not-so-beautiful past made me hesitate, not knowing if I should open my heart to receive this wild horse.

Can I tame him? Just thinking about one day I was abandoned by him, I was extremely scared. At this point, I am self-deprecating, no longer confident.

“Bella, I’m telling the truth.” Brian put both hands on my face, affirming.

“Ah… Brian… I… I need to rethink this.” I stammered out.

“Why? Because of Richard?” He pressed his hands to my cheeks, making me feel like my face was turning into a triangle.

“Not. I no longer like him.” I replied quickly because I did not want to break my jawbone.

“If so, why should you think?”

“I’m afraid.” I pulled his hand away, sat on a nearby chair, and lowered my face.

Brian did not say anything, patiently waiting for me, but the expression on his face showed that he was asking me what I was afraid of. Finally, I ventured to speak my mind.

What scares me is the habit of flirting and changing lovers like changing clothes. I am not strong enough like Naomi or any of his previous girlfriends. I don’t have a career to strive for, no close friends to confide in.

“Something like that.” I looked up at him and said softly.

While I was being very serious, Brian burst out laughing and stretched out his hand to signal me to stand up, then pulled me to sit on his lap, wide arms tightening around my waist.

His eyes seem to contain too much joy and happiness, it is difficult to describe in words.

“You are the only person I love after Hellen. I don’t love those girls. There is an agreement between me and them.”

“Agreement?”

“Yeah, it’s a win-win deal.”

Brian nodded and buried his head in my stomach. I reflexively pulled my stomach in, but then gradually relaxed. This pose of his is so cute, like a puppy snuggling its head in its owner’s lap.

It seemed that he didn’t want me to ask any more questions, so he slowly revealed to me that he and the girls were just acting, not in love, not dating.

In return, he will give them what they want, status, roles in movies, opportunities to participate in big events, and even money.

But more importantly, as soon as he announced the identity of his new girlfriend on his personal page, she quickly gained the public’s attention, earning a huge following, helping a lot for her later career.

The reason Brian had to do this was because his grandfather kept introducing rich girls to him and those girls also fell in love with him, actively flirting with him, and even asked to fly here to facilitate dating.

There was no other way, so he had to create the image of a bad guy. After that, those girls were also frustrated, gradually giving up on him, not bothering him anymore.

“I feel sorry for my recent girlfriends. Because I change my lover like I change my clothes, the public is no longer wondering or curious, so not many people care about them. But… I compensate them with something else.” Brian reached up and grabbed my chin, smiling and whispering.

“You compensate them with your body, right?” I frowned and questioned.Belongs © to NôvelDrama.Org.

“No. My body is gold and jade, only for the one I love. Lady, you’re the one who stole my virginity.”

What’s he talking about? His virginity? Oh my gosh, how could he say this? Is there anything to prove?

If he said it was the first time he had sex with the opposite sex, I absolutely wouldn’t believe him.

So many sensitive parts of my body were kissed by him until they were bruised and I even thought it would take me a month to recover.

If it’s his first time, he’s supposed to be clumsy, gentle, right? But he seemed to want to eat me alive.

“Because you don’t know how to keep yourself. When you see a girl, you are infatuated. You must be responsible for what you did.” I looked up at the ceiling and slowly replied.

I understand Brian has many wrinkles in his brain to realize that night was my first time even though I tried to lie. So, I chose to remain silent, not explaining anything to him.

After all, he is a man, no matter who he slept with in the past, but if he gives up his bad habits from now on, only being faithful and loyal to only me, I will forget everything. I am not a petty person.

“I will agree to two conditions.” I took his hand and said sternly.

“Okay, even if you ask for twenty conditions, I still accept.”

After biting my lips for a long time, I asked him to temporarily not publicize this love, even with his mother, and forced him not to meet Hellen in private.

Although I know that the second request is quite possessive, it can be called selfish, but I have no other choice. That’s the only way to make me feel secure because I can’t stick to him day and night.

“I agree.”

I looked into his sparkling eyes, in his eyes at this moment there was only my image.

Brian answered as fast as lightning. He doesn’t need to think?

“But what are you afraid of without allowing me to publicize our love and prevent me from meeting Hellen? Do not you believe me?”

My gentle nod caused his bright face to suddenly turn black. He took a deep breath and smiled faintly, his arm tightening around my waist, not saying anything more.

To be honest, to me, he is still a maze that makes me difficult to understand. I can’t make a cage to put him in.

If he is a man who is not successful, not rich, not famous, then I will worry less and think less.

Richard is not as famous as Brian, but he made me feel that I am not worthy of him. This love has not undergone any tests, so there are no guarantees.

“Brian.” I tenderly touched his face and called softly.

“Uh. What’s up?”

“Actually… I don’t want to announce our relationship yet because I’m still not mentally prepared. The transition from your maid to your lover is a little… a little… how to say? My vocabulary is too few.”

I grimaced, trying to find some good words to explain, but in the end, couldn’t think of any words.

I used to be a bad student in literature; I don’t know. I hope a smart person like him will understand, and if he doesn’t, I don’t care what he thinks.

“What if I meet Hellen?”

My eyes lit up when Brian opened his mouth to ask. He understood what I said just now, right? Yes, for sure. He is highly educated and knowledgeable, hearing a few words can guess the context and meaning right away. I really worry too much.

“Ah. Hellen is… ah…”

Hesitating for a long time, I had to borrow the story of my neighbor’s husband and wife in the past to express to him my worries.

The content of the story is like this: That man is too kind and enthusiastic to help a single mother near his house from big to small things.

His wife grumbled, but he kept saying that he did it to accumulate virtue for his children and thought that his wife was petty.

“Do you know what happened after that?” I put my hands on his cheeks and asked softly.

“No. Please continue to tell.”

“As a result, he also accumulated points to exchange gifts, having a child with that woman. On a rainy and windy night, he went to her house to fix the light bulb and had a baby with her.”

The corner of Brian’s lips twitched a few times, and finally, he couldn’t help but laugh. Does this guy think I’m talking nonsense? That’s the real story.

When the wife heard about it, she cried and fainted, and then just a month later, she carried the baby and left without saying goodbye.

The husband also went looking for them, but could not find them. A year later, he and the lewd woman ignored the villagers’ objections and lived together.

“I am not kidding.” I frowned, confirmed.

“I believe you. Don’t worry baby, I won’t see Hellen.”

The first time he called me a baby, petting me sincerely, not jokingly made me happy.

Oh, I got to be Cinderella today. He will be my rich, handsome prince. Everything is so beautiful, just like a dream.

I bent down, took the initiative to give my lover a kiss instead of saying good night, then stood up, and went to the kitchen to get a dustpan, broom, and towel to clean up the battlefield.

Although Brian wanted to help me, when I glared at him and forced him to sit still, he also sat still on the swivel chair, but his mouth constantly reminded me to be careful.

When everything was finished, it was almost ten o’clock at night, I carefully helped Brian into his room.

This leg of his is really miserable, the old wound has just healed, and now there is a new wound.

“Tomorrow you go to work, you will be very sore because you have to move a lot.” I sighed.

“I only have pain at the moment, overnight I will feel less pain. Don’t worry, baby, I won’t let my mother find out.”

Does he think that I’m afraid the mistress knows? If she asked me, I’d say he dropped the glass himself and stepped on the broken glass himself.

What I’m concerned about is that he moves and causes the cut to widen and bleed again.
