The Soft-Hearted Wife of Mr. Big Shot-Chapter 81: Because I Care

There are many things she actually isn’t qualified to judge, but she wants to wake the "sleeping" Holly.

Holly probably isn’t even aware of her own thoughts, right?

"Speak properly."

Holly furrowed her brow slightly.

"Boss, ask yourself what your heart desires, as long as you’re clear about it yourself, you don’t need to say it out loud."

Diana Curtis faced immense pressure and, toughening up, said.

Ugh, she was really scared inside too, but there was no choice; she didn’t want Holly to regret it in the future or have regrets.

Although her love life was rather tragic, Jasper Hayes didn’t love her and only used her, she has no regrets.

Holly looked at Diana Curtis, and she truly was pondering the question.

Leaving Leo Grant would make her uncomfortable; just thinking about it made her heart ache faintly.

"Boss, speaking of Jasper Hayes, he isn’t a fond memory, but I’ve never regretted because I didn’t leave myself with any regrets."

Diana Curtis looked at Holly with particularly earnest eyes.

Life is long, no one’s path is without troubles; loving those we shouldn’t, loving those who are unworthy, these things are common.

Although recalling them makes us feel foolish, that’s youth—it’s a youth without regrets.

Holly: "Hmm."

She doesn’t understand, or not completely.

"Jasper Hayes is the barrier I crashed into without hesitation, the empty dreams, the bus I ran breathlessly to catch and yet missed, the snack I craved for long but didn’t eat, the dream unfinished upon waking, the awaited movie never finished..."

"Although his character was lacking, I always knew, willingly be used by him, really foolish, but I was resolute at that time."

"Boss, you have to recognize your own heart; you and Leo Grant are different from me and Jasper Hayes."

Diana Curtis spoke slowly, her eyes earnest, every word was sincere.

Jasper Hayes didn’t love her but used her.

Leo Grant cares for Holly; his gaze upon Holly is filled with affection.

Therefore, the two situations are different.

Involved parties are confused, observers see clearly.

Diana Curtis saw it clearly; Holly couldn’t see it herself.

"Stop, don’t talk to me about these presumptions."

Holly’s gaze grew slightly cold.

For a moment, Diana Curtis’s words actually made her feel chaotic inside.

What kind of feelings does she really have towards Leo Grant?

Holly is somewhat confused about herself now.

Diana Curtis stopped talking, knowing Holly was clear in her own heart. She didn’t stay long with Holly and left shortly.

——

Leo Grant is like a treasure chest; every time he comes back from work, he brings Holly snacks, and almost every day, they’re different.

"Brother, have you toured all of Bexley?"

Holly was eating some unknown pastry, blinking innocently at Leo Grant.

It was quite tasty, though she couldn’t name it.

Leo Grant is just like Doraemon, always conjuring up lots of delicious foods she likes; Leo remembered her preferences.

Being remembered by someone feels really nice.

Although there are others who remember her too, being remembered by another person makes her feel truly happy.

"Since Holly likes to eat, of course, brother keeps it in mind, buying them on the way home."

Leo Grant’s tone was casual and light, as though it truly was a very unintentional matter.

In fact, the items were all pre-ordered by his assistant, then he would bring them to Holly after work.

Every food was carefully selected by him; some were nearby, some far, but for him, distance was never any issue.

As long as the young girl likes them, no matter how far, he would go to get them for her.

"Is that so."

Holly nodded, half-doubtfully responding.

Holly didn’t quite believe it, knowing the route to Leo Grant’s company all too well; there aren’t many snacks on that path.

"Is there anything you want to eat tomorrow?"

Leo Grant asked, having figured out most of her preferences but couldn’t guarantee Holly would like everything bought.

"Everything brother buys for me, I like."

Holly’s mouth was stuffed full, she looked up at Leo Grant, her eyes sincere.

What Leo Grant buys, she likes.

Since most of the items he buys cater to her taste and are things she likes, she likes them all.

"Alright then, I’ll always bring snacks for Holly."

Leo Grant slightly curved his lips, his mouth brimming with a smile.

As long as the young girl likes it, it’s best; he felt very happy.

"Brother is so nice."

Holly was all smiles; her face brimmed with sweetness.

Having food is the best.

"Brother, why are you so good to me?"

Holly looked up at Leo Grant, her eyes filled with innocence and doubt.

Someone being good to another must have reasons; Holly never believed otherwise.

Leo Grant was very, very good to her, from the moment she entered his life, he wasn’t bad towards her, gradually becoming better.

Diana Curtis’s words, she absorbed, understanding a lot more.

"Because..."

Leo Grant looked at Holly, his eyes filled with warmth.

Because you hold great importance in my heart.

Because you make my heart flutter.

He just looked at Holly, saying nothing.

"Because of what?"

Leo Grant didn’t continue for a long time, making Holly puzzled; she blinked her eyes at him.

"Because brother wants to be good to you."

Leo Grant ruffled Holly’s hair, his tone exceptionally gentle.

It’s not about having lots of reasons; being good to Holly, just because she is Holly.

"But brother, I don’t know who I am, don’t know where my home is, don’t know..."

Holly lowered her gaze, speaking with a tone full of grievance.

Yes, although Leo Grant didn’t expose her, the role she’s playing is of a "cute little girl" having lost all memory.

"Since you remember nothing, then let it be forgotten; just remember you’re Holly, someone Leo Grant cares about, that’s enough."

Leo Grant slightly bent down, making eye contact with Holly, his eyes firm with a light of indulgence.

He truly hopes this young girl is someone without any memories so she can always remain by his side.

He hopes she truly is that simple, that innocent, that adorably soft, so he can easily whisk her away.

"Brother..."

Holly called Leo Grant, but didn’t know what to say.

Leo Grant cares for her, beyond the feelings for a sister, and Holly realized this in that very moment.
