Chapter 617: Chapter 613: A Trivial Woman in Pursuit of Romance
Richelle Dunn couldn’t help but laugh out loud.
“Look at you, so shameless!”
Denise Munni glared at her, “You don’t know. When he told me he wouldn’t be cliche with all those romantic gestures, I cursed him in my heart.”
Richelle, holding back her laughter, asked her,
“What did you curse? Tell me!”
Denise said angrily, “Damn it, why because of your past flirting you don’t give me flowers and bags? I am also a little fairy who chases romantic love, okay?”
Richelle couldn’t help but burst out laughing again.
“Why didn’t you just tell him directly? You could say, ‘I’m a vulgar person, and I like vulgar things – like money, sports cars, and mansions!”‘
Denise rolled her eyes.
“But I wanted to leave a good impression on him back then! And he said it like that, I was afraid he would think I’m vulgar and dump me if I told him I liked those things.”
Richelle stopped laughing, “Don’t worry about that. I can attest that Nathan fell in love with you at first sight and has no other intentions.”
Denise sneered and continued to complain.
“When Roy said he would give us a sea view room, I was really afraid this dumbass would say it’s too vulgar and refuse. Fortunately, he was clear-headed enough to accept the sea view room.”
Richelle smiled but said nothing.
“So last night when he came back holding flowers, he looked so nervous, but I had no time to be annoyed. I just freaking wet myself.”
Richelle said, “Nathan, despite his cheerful appearance, is actually a typical people-pleaser, and due to his background, he feels he must hide his unfortunate past to be on an equal footing with others.”
Denise and Nathan met each other at first sight and got married on their second meeting.
So, at the beginning, everyone was a bit reserved.
And since they both fell in love at first sight, they had a filter for each other.
At the same time, they were worried that exposing their own flaws would make the other person dislike them.
Over time, the two lived as if they were wearing masks.
It can be sustained by love in a short period, but in the long run, there will be an accident one day.
Of course, Richelle couldn’t directly tell her friend this kind of thing.
And she didn’t notice it before. It was that day when she and Denise went back to Lordon together, and the two chatted on the private plane that she vaguely felt her friend’s depression.
Yesterday, when she was looking at the land with Nathan, she deliberately tested him with a few words, and when she matched his reaction with her friend’s, she guessed something vaguely.
Of course, she’s not an expert on emotions, so she dares not meddle.
She just dared to encourage Nathan on small things.
As a result, this small matter turned out to have a big effect.
Denise nodded, “Yesterday, he also told me about his childhood, and I realized that he might not be as optimistic and nonchalant as he seems.”
Richelle was not daring to analyze; she came here today to be the dustbin for Denise’s troubles.
“Hmm, after discovering these things, how do you feel?”
Denise sighed, “I feel so sorry for him, and then I sort of understand why he’s been so hesitant about whether or not to have a child.”
Richelle asked, “Is it fear?”
Denise nodded, “Yes, he’s probably afraid. With Timmy and his siblings as such perfect examples, he really wants to have his own child, but he’s worried about his poor genes and not being able to give the child good enough conditions, unable to provide a stable and comfortable growing environment. So, going back and forth, he’s wavering.”
After hearing Denise’s explanation, Richelle knew that the two must have had a deep conversation last night.
“You can be absolutely assured about this. Not to mention that Roy and I are your strong supporters, even when Roy and I get old, Timmy and his siblings will definitely be a reliable support for their younger brothers and sisters. So, don’t worry about those unnecessary things. What you need to think about is whether you can give the child enough love. As long as the child is not short of love, he won’t lack anything.”
Originally sitting opposite Richelle, Denise got up after hearing her words, walked over, and hugged her tightly.
“Richelle, thank you!”
Richelle patted her on the back, “Silly girl, why do you need to thank me? If anyone should be thanking anyone, it should be me.”
During Richelle’s years in South Asia, she had her moments of glory.
But she also had her share of embarrassments.
And Denise was one of the few people who had seen Richelle in an embarrassing state.
Back then, they were total strangers.
But Denise resolutely reached out to help Richelle through that difficult time.
From that moment on, the two formed a bond deeper than sisterhood.
Later on, when United Ventures was constantly plagued by hacker attacks, Richelle solved the major crisis for them with Denise’s recommendation, and thus became a shareholder and honorary consultant of United Ventures.
Denise pushed her away and glared at her.
“Richelle, are you going to be so petty with me?”
Richelle laughed, “Hey, weren’t you the one who started being petty with me? It’s unfair that I help you, and you say thank you, and then you help me and have to be an unnamed hero.. I can’t do such a thing, and you can’t be so double – standard!”
