The Soft-Hearted Wife of Mr. Big Shot-Chapter 250: Fortunately, We Cherish Each Other

Chapter 250: Chapter 250: Fortunately, We Cherish Each Other

On New Year’s Day, Holly Sawyer rose very early, despite only falling asleep after midnight the previous night.

There’s a custom here that you shouldn’t sleep in on New Year’s Day.

Holly doesn’t really value these customs, but unconsciously she developed the habit.

"Your eyes are swollen."

Leo Grant woke up even earlier than Holly. He was sitting in the living room playing on his phone with the sound of the TV on.

Hearing the noise from the stairs, Leo looked up, his gentle gaze settling on Holly’s face.

The young lady slept late last night, her eyes are a bit puffy now.

"Oh, really?"

Holly gently rubbed her eyes, feeling suddenly annoyed.

Leo handed a mirror to Holly. She looked at her slightly swollen eyes and pouted a little, feeling displeased.

"It’s still early. You can go back and sleep a bit more."

Leo gently rubbed Holly’s head, speaking softly.

He hadn’t expected her to wake up so early today.

Usually, this little lazy cat is so lazy she wouldn’t get up until noon.

"No need, I’ll just rest beside you for a while."

Holly shook her head slightly and spoke softly.

Since she’s already up, she decided not to go back to sleep, otherwise she probably wouldn’t get up until the sun was high in the sky.

Holly sat next to Leo, resting her head on his shoulder like a little lazy cat.

Indeed, she felt a bit sleepy, but inhaling Leo’s familiar scent made her feel extraordinarily at ease, though she wasn’t sleepy at all.

"What would you like to eat? I’ll heat it up for you later."

Leo took a blanket and put it over Holly’s legs, gently asking her.

There’s a custom here that you’re not allowed to work on New Year’s Day. It marks the beginning of a new year and everyone should rest for the day, otherwise, it’s considered "unlucky."

Of course, these are thoughts left by the older generation, gradually becoming practices passed down through the years.

It’s said that if you’re busy during New Year’s, the rest of the year will be a busy fate, leaving only time for eating, drinking, and playing.

"Anything is fine. I like whatever you make."

Holly gently blinked, her eyes sparkling. She spoke slowly.

Indeed, she likes everything Leo makes because he always caters to her taste.

Due to drinking, Cecilia Bennett woke up a bit late. Upon coming downstairs, she saw Holly and Leo cozying up on the sofa.

She remarked on how good their relationship was and continued downstairs.

"You’re up? Do you feel uncomfortable?"

Hearing footsteps downstairs, Holly stood up, looking at Cecilia Bennett and asking with concern.

Cecilia Bennett shook her head, "No."

Actually, she didn’t feel uncomfortable. She was fine, she wasn’t really drunk last night, her mind was clear.

"In the new year, all those unpleasant things will pass. Put the past behind and embrace the future."

Holly walked over and gave Cecilia Bennett a big hug, her smile soft.

Let all the unpleasant things go, welcoming the future is what truly matters.

"Alright."

Cecilia Bennett smiled warmly, her face bright.

Pretending to be hungover, she realized a lot of things, no matter how things are now, it was all caused by her own actions, so she should let go.

She felt regret, regret that the boy who once only had eyes for her now stands beside another woman.

Audrey Bennett, Audrey Bennett.

Elegant and poised like her name, a proper lady, quite a match.

"I’ll head back first, I won’t have breakfast here. I’ll change my clothes at home."

Her coat smelled of barbecue, mixed with beer, not pleasant at all, and it wasn’t suitable to impose on Holly and Leo’s private time.

"Then, be careful on the road."

Holly didn’t insist Cecilia Bennett stay and saw her out the door.

Cecilia Bennett probably needed some quiet time to herself.

Their relationship was so good, even when they didn’t speak, they could guess each other’s thoughts.

"Shall we go to the mall later, then head to the old house, is that alright?"

Leo asked, seeking Holly’s opinion.

"Alright."

Holly replied.

"Do you know Theo Shaw?"

Suddenly, Holly looked up at Leo, she asked slowly.

Regarding Theo Shaw, she only had knowledge from Cecilia Bennett and heard bits from others.

The true and the false, the false and the true.

Cecilia Bennett liked Theo Shaw, in her mind, Theo Shaw naturally was great, exuding brilliance and radiance.

What others say of Theo Shaw would only be one-sided.

"Somewhat, I’ve interacted with him a bit."

Leo nodded, saying.

Holly looked at Leo, expecting him to continue.

"He has a good personality, gentle temperament, straightforward and honest in the workplace, not scheming."

Leo evaluated.

In Leo’s view, Theo Shaw was a good person.

"But I understand him, Nathaniel says his parents are pushing him hard, he urgently needs someone to marry, and Audrey’s boyfriend died in a car accident. The two get together, there’s no emotional foundation, they won’t fall for each other easily, it’s just right."

Leo continued, after coming back the previous night, he did a little investigation.

Cecilia Bennett was Holly’s best friend, he had to have some awareness of the situation.

It’s just ordinary companionship.

Holly lowered her eyes, "Maybe everyone’s thinking is different. If I don’t meet someone who moves me, I’d rather be alone and grow old."

Everyone’s considerations are different; everyone has different ideas.

"Family reasons account for a lot."

"If I hadn’t met you or someone who moved me, when reaching a certain age, I might find someone suitable to spend life with."

Leo said slowly, his voice particularly gentle.

Even if he’s rebellious, unruly, has vast abilities with no one forcing him, reaching a certain age still requires marriage and having children.

Even if he doesn’t feel like it, his grandfather would be disappointed.

It’s a way of respecting the elders.

Theo Shaw, being an only child, if his lineage ends with him, he’d face criticism, the gossip within big families is always abundant.

Holly tightly hugged Leo’s waist, burying her head in his arms.

Luckily, they met and grasped each other.

She doesn’t need to grow old alone; Leo doesn’t need to settle.

"Lucky to have met you."

Leo tightly embraced Holly, his eyes filled with the essence of happiness.

Lucky, they encountered each other.

It’s Holly’s arrival that made him realize that life could be so lively, so interesting.

Previously, apart from work, he wasn’t much interested in anything else, living a tedious life, repeating the same day over and over.
