Chapter 2851: Chapter 2852

Valda Theller gulped uneasily.

She knew she could lighten the mood by saying that she was only joking. Perhaps things between then would then return to normal.

However… she wanted to know him better.

Taking a deep breath, she said, “It’s fine if you don’t want to tell me. I’ll wait for when you’re willing to tell me.”

Of course, she might never get that chance.

“Why do you want to know what happened between Grace and me?” Brian asked.

“It’s because… I love you.” She loved him, so she wanted to know him better. She wanted to know his pain better. Just like the first time she saw him. He was in the rain, looking so lonely.

Brian was silent. Just before Valda Theller thought he would not go on, he finally said, “Grace and I met when we were little. I was kidnapped back then and escaped into the hills but lost my way. She carried me down the hill. I promised her I would do my best to protect her and give her a good life, but… I forgot to ask her name and where she lived. We met again years later. She had already fallen in love with Jason when I recognized her as the little girl I was looking for.”

It was the first time he had ever spoken about his past with Grace in front of anyone.

His voice continued. “It’s as if I’m always missing out… I met Grace first, but I repeatedly missed out on her. It was already too late when I found out the truth. The reason I chose to date you in the beginning is that Grace wanted me to move on.”

His voice paused as he gazed at her. “Do you still want to love me knowing this?”

“Did you mean it when you said you liked me afterward?” she asked instead of replying.

“Yes,” he said. He had no idea when he started falling for Valda Theller, but he had grown accustomed to her presence. He always wanted to see her with a smile on her face.

Even when he was in a bad mood, seeing her smile made his bad mood go away.

Valda Theller said sternly, “That’s all that matters. I loved you when you didn’t like me. Now that you’ve begun to like me, why would I not love you? Thank you for telling me all this, and thank you… for asking me to be your girlfriend and not letting me miss out on you.”

My Gorgeous Wife is an Ex-Convict!

Brian’s eyes glimmered as he muttered, “Yeah, I missed out on Grace. At least I didn’t miss out on you.”

Maybe God pitied him and let him meet her.

“Valda, I don’t know how long it’ll take me to fall in love with you. But… even if I only like you and you still want to stay with me, we’ll get married. I will make you my wife.” His elegant voice said.

She was stunned!

“Get married? You… want to marry me?”

“Yes, I’ll make you my wife if you’re willing.” As long as she did not mind that he could not love her, he would give her everything he could afford!

‘Is this a proposal?’ Valda Theller was still thinking about the question in a daze after Brian left the studio.

‘Or is he trying to make things up to me because he doesn’t have the confidence to fall for me? But will anyone sacrifice the rest of their life to make things up to others?’ Valda Theller was confused.
