The Soft-Hearted Wife of Mr. Big Shot-Chapter 88: The Little Girl Wants to Give a Gift

Chapter 88: Chapter 88: The Little Girl Wants to Give a Gift

When Leo Grant returned, Nancy Miller just happened to be leaving, and they ran into each other at the entrance.

Leo Grant nodded at Nancy Miller; after all, she was Holly Sawyer’s friend, so he had to show some respect.

"Young Master Grant."

The two brushed past each other, and Nancy Miller called out to Leo Grant.

She was actually a bit intimidated by Leo Grant, since the rumors were indeed quite frightening.

"Hmm?"

Leo Grant turned back, regretfully looking at Nancy Miller.

"Do you like... Holly?"

Nancy Miller took a deep breath, slowly beginning to ask, looking at Leo Grant seriously.

She wanted to make sure for Holly Sawyer’s sake; Leo Grant was indeed someone trustworthy. If they could be together, Nancy Miller thought it would be wonderful.

"Yes."

Leo Grant nodded, his tone calm.

There was no way to deny it, because it was the truth.

"Will you be good to her?"

Nancy Miller asked again, staring intently at Leo Grant.

Holly Sawyer was wonderful; she deserved happiness, and meeting someone like Leo Grant, though Nancy Miller wasn’t sure how long a man’s sincerity would last.

Leo Grant’s tone was assured, "I will."

He would be good to Holly Sawyer, always good to Holly, even if Holly didn’t need it.

"For how long?"

Nancy Miller looked at Leo Grant, her eyes filled with doubt.

A person’s affection for another does have a limit after all; she didn’t know how long Leo Grant’s goodness towards Holly would last.

Miles Miller had once said he would love Wendy Wright for a lifetime, but in the face of benefits, he chose self-interest, although he later married Wendy, ultimately he still strayed.

In reality, those who were inseparable at first, those sweet and loving couples, their affection still becomes worthless over time.

Time limits, indeed, no one can predict them.

Leo Grant answered, "No time limit."

No time limit. This lifetime, the next, and the one after that, he hoped to still meet Holly Sawyer and continue being good to her.

"She’s quite fragile, everyone has a protective side."

Nancy Miller smiled lightly, speaking sincerely.

Holly Sawyer, as a girl, couldn’t possibly be strong enough to know everything and be indifferent to everything, she was quite fragile too.

Though she usually appeared gentle and weak, that was the side she wanted others to see.

"I know."

Leo Grant’s expression was calm.

The young girl wasn’t that simple. Leo Grant always knew Holly Sawyer was pretending in front of him, but so what? He still liked her.

Liking someone has no reason; liking a person is the same. If there were indeed reasons, perhaps it wasn’t genuine affection.

"Holly is truly wonderful."

After saying this, Nancy Miller left. Her evaluation of Holly Sawyer was exceedingly high.

In her heart, Holly Sawyer had no flaws; she was so good she had no defects.

In reality, no one in this world is perfect, and even the most perfect people have shortcomings. Perhaps Holly Sawyer’s perfect image was too overwhelming, so she couldn’t see Holly’s flaws.

——

Holly Sawyer was fiddling with something on the coffee table, her little face puffed up, eyes wide open, with a very serious expression.

She didn’t even hear the door open.

"What’s Holly doing?"

Leo Grant walked in, gently watching Holly Sawyer, his eyes full of fondness.

The young girl was so focused that she didn’t even know he had returned.

"I’m assembling this pig."

Hearing his voice, Holly Sawyer looked up, beaming at Leo Grant, her eyes filled with joy.

Holly pushed the blueprint in front of Leo Grant; it was a pink pig, assembled from tiny particles.

"Can you do it?"

Leo Grant smiled, looking at the young girl and asked.

The young girl seemed quite painstakingly focused; indeed, very adorable.

"Hmm, I think so."

Holly Sawyer hesitated momentarily before nodding.

She really wanted to vent; she had been studying this simple thing for quite some time, which wasn’t logical at all. It was truly incredible.

She felt her lifetime’s reputation was ruined over this. It was really hard, truly hard.

Her learning speed had always been good, but never had she thought she’d be defeated by such a childish thing.

"Do you want brother to help you assemble it?"

Seeing Holly Sawyer’s puzzled expression, Leo Grant gently rubbed her head, his voice soft.

The young girl, no matter how you look at, appeared very cute indeed.

"No."

Holly shook her head, refusing, her small face puffed up, looking really adorable.

Leo Grant: "Hmm?"

"It’s meant to be a gift, so doing it myself shows sincerity."

Holly shook her head, looking earnestly at Leo Grant, speaking each word clearly.

The assembly wasn’t expensive, it was a cheap item, but Holly focused on the thoughtfulness, so she was studying how to assemble the item herself.

The whole process being done by oneself was the true sentiment.

"For whom?"

Leo Grant casually asked.

The young girl was also going to give gifts to others?

He had never received a gift from the young girl, honestly, he felt a bit jealous.

"That’s a secret."

Holly shook her head, looking earnestly at Leo Grant with a mysterious expression.

"Not even to brother?"

Leo Grant laughed, touching Holly Sawyer’s head, his smile subtle.

The young girl’s secretive demeanor was exceedingly charming indeed.

"No."

Holly shook her head.

It was because it’s for you, so she couldn’t say, otherwise, there would be no surprise.

Leo Grant had given her many things, joy included, so she too wanted to openly give something back to Leo Grant.

Reciprocal gifts, so to speak.

Leo Grant had given her too much, yet she feared she couldn’t repay him.

"So, is it a gift for a friend?"

Leo Grant asked again, his curiosity piqued, eager to know who was so lucky to receive a gift from the young girl.

He hadn’t had that luck.

Holly shook her head.

It wasn’t for a friend but for a brother.

"Then who?"

Leo Grant began to wonder who the young girl was gifting it to, who was that lucky.

"It’s for someone very, very important. Brother, don’t ask anymore; Holly needs to get busy."

Holly mischievously blinked, her eyes full of joy as she spoke, her smile sweet, very sweet.

When mentioning "very, very important," Holly’s eyes unmistakably shone, in a dazzling kind of way.

Leo Grant felt his heart sink suddenly, steadily watching Holly.

"Brother, you’re blocking my light."

Holly reached out, gently pushing Leo Grant aside, pouting displeasingly.

Leo Grant only felt his mood plummet to the bottom.
