“Okay, at your service. Help me get a set of clothes.”
Edward doesn’t care if that little girl has some stereotypical pedantry, he just wants her to slowly integrate into his life.
The previous relationship between the two people can be said to be incompatible, but after this incident in turn, the two people are slowly moving closer together.
That feeling makes Edward feel good and enjoyable, even … happier than taking tens of billions of orders at the mall.
He also finally understood why Peter would give up everything and only want to stay with Adriana.
It turns out that love is really … unimaginably beautiful.
Love?
The words that came to mind made Edward wonder.
He never thought that one day he would ‘talk about love’!
“This set, what do you think?”
As he was deep in thought, Vivian pushed open his closet and pulled out a silver-grey, vertically striped suit from it, asking his opinion.
“Good.”
Edward nodded his head in agreement.
Vivian removed the clothes and helped him choose a set of inner wear before walking up to him and handing it to him, “This is it, you wear it.”
“Hmm?”
The man raised an eyebrow, his playful gaze fixed on her, “Have you forgotten what I just said to you?”
Just now?
Just now Edward said he would let her help him get dressed.
Vivian would have been repulsed, but for some reason, when she heard Edward’s he, her mind was resistant, but her mouth had already agreed, “Yes.”
She placed the clothes on the bed, stood in front of Edward, and reached down to unbutton his shirt.
Placing her hands on the collar of her shirt, she helped him unbutton it, but because the buttons were small and it was her first time helping Edward unbutton it, the faster she tried to unbutton it, the more nervous she became.
The more nervous you are, the slower you are.
A button is hard to untie a minute still open.
“There’s no rush, take your time.”
Edward found a fine sweat stain on her forehead, and could vaguely feel her nervous breath.
The large palm gently holds her hand and personally shows her how to unbutton it.
This is to find that the man does not need to look, just a few fingers of tacit cooperation, just so a pick, it is easy to unbutton.
Vivian was embarrassed and her cheeks were flushed and on fire.
“I … told you, I don’t change people’s clothes.”
She cursed herself for her stupidity, knowing that she couldn’t help someone change, but she had to be brave.
“There is nothing in this world that comes naturally. Just adapt, get used to it, and there’s nothing you won’t.”
Edward held her hands in both of his, his fingers gently rubbing the skin of her hands, facing her with all eyes, “In the future, you will all have to wait on me to change, you must learn.”
The Future?
Vivian’s large watery, clear eyes flashed, and no words came out for a long time.
“What, see what you mean about leaving me?”
The man raised an eyebrow and asked in a cold voice.
Vivian was silent and just looked at him without saying anything.
The truth is that many words come to the mouth, do not know how to say, and even more do not know how to face.
Or perhaps it was Edward’s inexplicable tenderness today that made it a little difficult for her to adapt.
Unbeknownst to him, when Peter and Brenden experienced a life and death battle, Edward also rushed over with his brother.
Then he generally understood the situation between Adriana and Peter, and finally got a clear picture of Adriana’s current situation, and why Peter was so angry to destroy Brenden!
When he saw his elder brother’s desire and care for love, Edward came to his senses and felt that he had to cherish the present moment.
Otherwise, one day the opportunity will go with it, and he will no longer have the opportunity to have it if he wants.
“I …”
Vivian stammered, not knowing what to say.
Or maybe Edward’s reaction today simply made it impossible for her to say anything back.
He suddenly became gentle and doting, even the way he looked at her was full of deep love.
Without the coldness and sternness of the past, she really couldn’t get used to it.
“You are Ashtyn’s mommy and my woman. You should know that I, the Henderson Family, am a prominent figure in Waverly, and if you go, where will I be then?”
The woman’s hand was held slightly harder, with a warning, “So, put away those unreliable ideas, from now on stay here honestly, nowhere, not allowed to go.”
“Not allowed to go anywhere?”
Vivian’s face is white, subconsciously thought of the year with Edward when they met, his ruthlessness, can not help but the body shape a trembling, some fear.
Those days, his merciless house arrest, humiliation, let her drown in a nightmare can not come out.
Now Edward’s words would make her think of those things uncontrollably.
The two of them are very close to each other, Edward can easily see the small woman’s mood change, and he knows that she misunderstood.
But for some reason, seeing her shivering is somehow a vague pain in the heart.
His thick eyebrows lightly wrinkled as he took her into his arms, “What I’m saying is, stay with me and Ashtyn from now on, we’re family.”
After saying that, he was always afraid of being rejected by Vivian, and added, “Even if you pretend in front of the children, you have to pretend to the end!”
Vivian, who was originally moved by listening to his last sentence, has fallen somewhat into the whirlpool of love.
Naive’s next words sent her straight into the bottomless abyss.
As expected, she knew that Edward did not make any changes to her attitude, but it was the mother’s son, Edward’s heart felt for the child, so he was a little more tolerant of her.
“I got it.”
Vivian slightly jawed, the corners of her lips pulled out a smile, but the smile was indeed that far-fetched.
“I’ll help you change, it’s getting late.”
She pushed the man away and stood up from his arms, her small face returning to indifference.
Raising his hand to unbutton his shirt, he realized that unbuttoning was so smooth that it was as if he had learned it all at once.
The buttons of the padded shirt unbuttoned, the man’s muscular pectorals exposed in front of the eyes, wheat-colored skin, muscle texture, there is a scar mark on the right side, but did not make people feel hideous, but more like the traces of age precipitation.
When he saw the scar, Vivian’s eyebrows wrinkled and his hand subconsciously lifted, wanting to cover the scar to feel the pain of the scar on his body.
The result is that the cold fingertips touch his warm skin, a moment like an electric shock so that her thoughts emotions.
Vivian looked away, picked up another padded shirt from the bed and put it on for him, and told herself: Vivian, don’t be delusional, some people, some things, are not for you to think about.
You, unworthy!
Yes, she is just an orphan girl from an ordinary family, how can she be worthy of the Henderson Family’s young master?
Edward now gives her a place to live is already considered a gift, she should not be too much extravagant and delusional.
Greed will always make people lose themselves.
Vivian, it’s time for you to wake up.
She reminded herself over and over again in her mind.
The human feeling is very strong, as now Edward, clearly enjoying Vivian to help him dress, but still can clearly feel her strong coldness.
