She almost instinctively rejected love for fear of being hurt again.
However, Brian had inadvertently barged into her heart, which also encouraged her to try again.
Perhaps she could be happy too?
The next day, Camille Stricklandâs eyes almost popped when she found out that her best friend and Brian were dating for real now.
âAre you and Brian dating on the premise of marriage now?â Camille Strickland asked in surprise.
âYeah.â Valda Theller nodded.
âWhatâs going on? Has Brian fallen for you?â
âNo, no.â Valda Theller shook his head. âHe probably wants to move on, so⦠he wants to date me for real.â
Camille Strickland frowned. âWhy does that sound so strange?â
Valda Theller smiled drily. âItâs a little strange, but he also said heâll try to fall for me.â
âBut sometimes, relationships donât necessarily work out just because you work hard,â Camille Strickland said with worry, afraid her best friend would get hurt again.
Valda Theller said, âI know relationships donât necessarily work out just because you work hard, but youâll get nothing if your donât. Camille, havenât you always wanted me to find someone?
You wanted me to keep an open heart, and now I want to do something for myself.â
âYouâ¦â Camille Strickland sighed. She knew that her best friend might sometimes look naive and have no mind of her own, but she would stick to everything she had decided until the end. âI hope to hear good news from you soon.â
She could only give her her blessing!
âThank you!â Valda Theller smiled slightly, but she frowned again afterward. âTell me. How do you make a man fall in love with you?â
âBy showing off your feminine charms, of course,â said Camille Strickland.
âCharms?â Valda Theller blinked. âBut the problem is what kind of feminine charm has Brian not experienced in the entertainment industry?â
Camille Strickland agreed with the statement, so she asked, âWhy donât you just do what normal couples do? Bond with each other first.â
âWhat normal couples do?â
âFor example, going to the movies, eating, shopping, traveling, or spending your day at home together.
Youâve drawn so many romance comics, donât you? Itâs all there.â
Valda Theller was speechless. It was one thing to draw comics, but it was a different story in reality.
Anyway, they should try their best to bond with each other first.
When Brian came to visit Grace in the hospital, Grace was already awake and lying on the hospital bed. Jason sat at the head of the bed, peeling an apple for Grace.
âHow are you? Are you okay?â Brian asked.
Grace said, âIâm fine, but I might have to stay in bed until I give birth. I heard from Jay that you came to the hospital to see me yesterday?â
âYeah, I heard from Valda that you were hospitalized, so I came over,â said Brian.
Grace said, âSpeaking of yesterday, I need to thank Valda. If she hadnât helped me block those people away, I wouldâve been in more danger. I havenât thanked her.â
âIâll thank her for you,â said Brian.
Just then, Jason had peeled an apple and cut them into small pieces. He brought a piece to Graceâs lips.
Grace opened her mouth and ate the small piece of apple he fed her. It was obvious that they understood each other very much.
Brian watched quietly. Grace must be happy with her life.
He once hoped he could give her such happiness. However, he realized in the end that he was not the one destined to give her happiness!
