With that said, he wanted to lead her into the mansion when she suddenly lunged forward and wrapped her arms around his waist, burying her face deep in his arms.
Brian stiffened as he looked at her with surprise.
“Don’t… push me away. Just let me hold you for a while, okay? I want to hold you like this right now.” Her voice was hoarse and choking.
“Did something happen?” he asked. The air around him seemed
gloomy.
She said nothing, but the arms holding him tightened slightly, and their bodies grew closer.
Brian did not ask any more questions. He raised one arm and put
it around her waist while the other caressed her hair.
The two quietly hugged each other like two people needing
comfort.
Valda Theller’s face pressed on Brian’s chest. All she could smell
was his scent. It was as if holding him like this would make her feel
safe and warm.

When she was in university, she had told herself to be strong because all she could depend on was herself.

However, she could not help wanting to depend on him. It would
be best if she could rely on him for the rest of his life.
After a long time, Valda Theller finally let go. “Alright, thank you. I feel much better. I’m going home now.”
“Wait, what happened?” Brian grabbed her and asked.
Valda Theller sighed. “It’s nothing. It’s just that I went to my uncle’s house today. He asked me for money again, saying he’s ill. They’ll probably think of me as an ingrate if I don’t pay them.”
Brian frowned slightly. “Is your uncle sick?”
Valda Theller said, “I don’t know if it’s true. I wanted to see Uncle’s medical records and examination reports, but they refused. Maybe they think I can be their ATM because I’m dating you.”
“Would you like me to handle it for you?” he asked, not wanting to see her so down. Things that money could fix were nothing to
him.
Valda Theller shook her head and said, “No, I can handle it myself.
If I need you to handle every little problem, depending on you will
become a habit.”
“I don’t mind you always depending on me,” said Brian.

A trance flickered in Valda Theller’s eyes. ‘Always… sounds like a beautiful promise.
‘Does he understand what it means to say that word to a woman?’
“But I mind. I don’t want to be dependent on others.” Valda Theller smiled. “If I can’t handle it, I’ll ask for your help, but I want to handle it myself now.”
He said, “Alright, I’ll send you home, then.”
“No thanks. You’re already home. I’ll take a taxi. It’s convenient,” said Valda Theller.
“Let me take you home.” Brian insisted, pulled her to the car, and opened the front passenger door.
Valda Theller bit her lip slightly at this. “Thank you.”
The two got into the car, and Brian drove toward Valda Theller’s place. She peered at him out of the corners of her eyes.
It was not that she feared making a habit out of being dependent on him. It was just that if they ever broke up one day, she might forget how to live independently.
