The Soft-Hearted Wife of Mr. Big Shot-Chapter 145: The Girl’s Healing Powers Grow Stronger
The watch already has some years on it, it’s quite old, and when it hit the ground, the dial and chain separated directly.
Sean Grant stared at the watch on the ground, dazed for a moment.
"Holly, let’s go."
Leo Grant took Holly Sawyer’s hand and turned to leave.
"Brother, I’m here."
Holly Sawyer noticed that Leo Grant’s mood wasn’t great; she gripped his hand tightly, giving him encouragement.
No worries, she would always be by Leo Grant’s side.
She understood. She understood that Leo Grant just wanted to use his ’ignorance’ to maintain this fragile brotherly relationship.
But Sean Grant hadn’t cherished it, Leo Grant must be feeling very sad inside.
"Thank you, Holly."
Leo Grant turned his head to look at Holly Sawyer, his eyes were gentle.
Thank you for appearing by his side, thank you for being with him, thank you for helping him with his burdens.
He must have used a great deal of luck to meet Holly Sawyer.
Sean Grant stared blankly at the silhouettes of Leo Grant and Holly Sawyer disappearing from his sight, he slowly squatted down.
He squatted on the ground, picking up the separated dial and chain, carefully holding them in his hand.
The watch was very light, without much weight; he opened the dial, and a line of engraved letters came into view:
CXYYDDD.
Brothers forever, Leo and Sean.
It was a watch the two of them had customized in their youth; one for each, with identical letters engraved on the back.
Time leaves traces, and the letters have become somewhat blurred through the years.
Perhaps, it really is broken now.
The feelings from their youth were the purest, Sean Grant still remembered how he liked to follow behind Leo Grant when he was younger; their relationship was exceptionally good.
Leo Grant was very smart and impressive, Sean Grant had once felt proud to have such a brother; he could boast to others about his brother’s prowess.
He also remembered how he used to admire Leo Grant.
He didn’t know when it started, but their relationship deteriorated, his admiration for Leo Grant turned into jealousy.
For the family head position, he could send people to assassinate Leo Grant, he could ambush Leo Grant, he even had thoughts of having Leo Grant dead.
This relationship, it seems he was the one to mess it up.
Sean Grant took out an identical watch from his pocket; this one was perfectly intact, just very old.
So, was what he did wrong after all?
"Family is far more important than status."
Bella Coleman didn’t leave, she walked over to Sean Grant’s side, slowly speaking.
She had also experienced betrayal from family, knowing that feeling is very painful, knowing Sean Grant and Leo Grant’s matter, she inexplicably felt a fire burning within her.
Thinking that after Leo Grant and Holly Sawyer left, she ran out to hit Sean Grant.
"Maybe."
Sean Grant stood up, gently brushed his clothes, his tone particularly light.
Those in the Grant Family are heartless, they only care about status, only their own interests; perhaps he was influenced too much, he’s changed.
Or perhaps, he always had this hidden obsession with power.
"Don’t you feel you’re very despicable?"
Bella Coleman questioned Sean Grant, although it had nothing to do with her, she couldn’t stand it, finding Sean Grant very despicable.
"I do."
Sean Grant was silent for a while.
Holding the shattered watch in his hand, he turned and slowly walked away silently.
He didn’t want to participate in the Grant family’s disputes; when the watch shattered, it seemed his heart came back.
——
"Brother, have some candy."
Holly Sawyer pulled out a lollipop from her pocket, removed the wrapper, and held it up to Leo Grant, her tone gentle.
When feeling down, eating candy can lift the mood.
She didn’t know if it would work for Leo Grant, but it did for her.
"Thank you."
Leo Grant put the candy in his mouth, his lips curled slightly, the smile on his lips especially soft.
He felt quite good now, not because of the lollipop, but because of Holly Sawyer.
The girl being by his side really could heal his mood, the girl was better than the lollipop at healing his mood.
"No worries, I’ll be with you, helping you clear away all obstacles."
Holly Sawyer playfully blinked, her tone particularly gentle.
No worries, she would be with Leo Grant, forever and ever.
"You’re stealing my lines."
Leo Grant lightly tapped Holly Sawyer’s nose, looking at her gently.
Those words should be said by him to Holly Sawyer, not by Holly to him.
"No way."
Holly Sawyer blinked.
"Brother, do you want a smoke?"
Holly Sawyer’s gaze suddenly fell on a small vendor; she looked at the cigarettes on the counter, lightly biting her lip, turning to look at Leo Grant.
She heard that when in a bad mood, smoking could make you feel better.
She had never smoked, disliked the smell of smoke; if smoking could really relieve sorrow, she thought Leo Grant could smoke.
"Brother doesn’t smoke."
Leo Grant shook his head, gently rubbed Holly Sawyer’s head.
He didn’t have a smoking addiction, seldom smoked, and certainly wouldn’t smoke in front of the girl.
Smoking is harmful to health, the cigarette pack clearly states that; although everyone knows this, when the time comes, they still smoke without hesitation.
Second-hand smoke is very damaging.
"I heard smoking can relieve boredom when unhappy."
Holly Sawyer blinked lightly, looking innocently at Leo Grant.
Whether or not it relieves boredom, she didn’t know; she hadn’t smoked, but perhaps Leo Grant would know.
"Silly girl, brother isn’t unhappy."
Leo Grant’s gaze softly fixed on Holly Sawyer’s hair.
"But brother..."
"Having you by my side is more effective than any other remedy."
Holly Sawyer’s words weren’t finished, Leo Grant immediately interrupted her, looking gently at the girl in front of him.
Yes, having Holly Sawyer with him is the best, more effective than any other thing.
Lollipop, cigarettes, none could heal his mood better than Holly Sawyer’s company.
Holly Sawyer blinked: "Really?"
Leo Grant nodded.
"Then, let me give you a hug."
Holly Sawyer suddenly opened her arms, playfully blinked at Leo Grant, her eyes full of laughter.
Hugs could heal the mood better?
Leo Grant embraced Holly Sawyer, his broad body enveloping her petite frame; his gaze gently fixed on her hair.
The girl really was adorable; having her by his side, that feeling really would be great.
For the rest of his life, he hoped she would always be by his side.
"I’ve heard that kisses can heal the mood even more."
After hugging for a while, they gradually separated. Leo Grant reached out to pinch Holly Sawyer’s cheek, half-jokingly speaking.
If a hug could heal the mood, then a kiss would seem even more effective.
"Ah?"
Holly Sawyer lightly bit her lip, hesitating for a moment, her eyes fixed on Leo Grant, as if pondering something.
