Chapter 475
Chapter: 475 Holden replied with the emoji of a blushing little cat scratching its head, followed by the words, “Don’t mention it.”
Ariana bit her lower lip and asked hesitantly, “Why are you so nice to me? It’s not the first time you have helped out. If you keep doing this, I’m afraid | will never be able to repay your kindness.”
Holden replied in a second, “Because you are my friend. A friend in need is a friend indeed, right?” This short reply let Ariana lost in thought and she was silent for a long time.
Seeing that she was suddenly silent, Holden sent another message soon. “You don’t need to be stressed about it. This is just the least | can do. You can just take it as | am a kind person and helping you increases my merits every time.”
Ariana thought what he said was funny and she sent an emoji of a kitten screaming in surprise.
After a while, she sent another message. “Are we really just friends? Why do | feel that your kindness to me has already exceeded the friend zone? Actually, | feel uncomfortable in this situation. Friendship should be mutual and equal, but | don’t see anything | can do for you in return.”
Holden replied soon enough, “You don’t need to do anything for me.”
His simple reply stopped Ariana from typing what she had in mind. After all, as the CEO of the BRD Group, he seemed to have it all.
After thinking for a while, Ariana sent a message. “You asked me about my family before, and now | think | can answer.” Holden sent a question mark implying he was curious to have her answer.
Ariana then replied, “After my dad died, | felt like a ship adrifting on the sea. | felt so helpless, like | could be drowned by a giant wave at any moment. But now, | think Thave found a port where | belong.”
Holden was silent for a long time, and then he replied, “If one day you find that this port is not like you imagined, will you sail away?”
After reading his message, Ariana thought about the cage and golden shackle in the greenhouse of Theodore’s manor. She hesitated for a moment. However, she didn’t want to leave room for any misunderstanding with Holden, so she answered firmly, “No. Once | have made up my mind, | won't give up easily.”
Holden was silent for a while. Then, he sent her another message. “That's good. | wish you forever happiness.”
Ariana figured that Holden understood what she meant. They were both adults, so she didn’t have to type long words for him to understand what she wanted to say.
Perhaps Holden would cut her off now.
Now that she'd cleared everything up with Holden, Ariana breathed a sigh of relief.
She deleted the chat and lay back on the sofa, staring at the scenery outside.
The night was quite chilly and after sitting outside for a while, Ariana felt a bit cold.
She eventually returned to the bedroom and put on a coat.
This apartment wasn’t as empty as it used to be. Anyone who entered the apartment could see that someone lived there. The blanket on the couch, the snacks and coffee beans on the table, and the figurines in the hallway were all things that brought the apartment to life.
