The Soft-Hearted Wife of Mr. Big Shot-Chapter 62: Living Well

"Just a little bit."

Holly looked at the remaining red wine in the glass and wasn’t bothered.

It’s just wine, not intoxicating.

Wine and steak are a perfect match; Holly has always thought so.

But she rarely eats steak and seldom has Western food, her true love is still the so-called "junk food" from street stalls.

"Still, you should drink less."

Leo nodded, but he still commented.

Holly nodded.

"Is there anything Holly’s big brother doesn’t know about?"

The two were eating, and fell silent, until Leo suddenly broke the silence.

"Huh?"

Holly raised her gaze in surprise, blinking her eyes.

"Nothing."

Leo shook his head.

Asking a little girl who won’t say anything, it’ll only make him feel bad inside.

"Oh."

Holly looked at Leo puzzled.

She did hear what Leo said, but she didn’t quite understand what he meant.

"Does Holly have something she particularly wants to do?"

Leo asked, looking at Holly with sincere eyes.

He hoped that whatever Holly wanted to do, he could accompany her.

"Hmm, I don’t know."

Holly blinked, rested her chin in her hand and thought for a while, then shook her head.

Something special to do... seems like there really isn’t anything. She’s used to living spontaneously, going wherever life feels comfortable.

"Are you going back to work afterwards, big brother?"

After eating and drinking, Holly leaned against the chair lazily, and asked Leo.

"Yes, there are still some files to finish, I’ll be free the day after tomorrow."

Leo nodded, indeed there were many files piling up these days, as Noah Raines was out of Bexley, and he was handling everything alone.

"Then I’ll help you with them."

Holly bit her lip, thinking for a while.

Hmm, handling files is tiring; she’ll generously help Leo sort them out.

"Sure."

Leo smiled.

Having a girl accompany him in his work, wasn’t a bad feeling.

August was already halfway through in a slow and steady manner, and the start of school was not far off. Holly received a call from Diana Curtis early in the morning.

In the second-floor spot by the window of the dessert shop, Diana was leaning on the table, her shoulders shaking constantly.

Bella stood beside Diana, talking non-stop, and Holly could only hear comforting words from afar.

"What’s up?"

Holly placed her hands in her pockets and walked in leisurely, her tone calm and matter-of-fact.

"Boss..."

Upon hearing Holly’s voice, Diana raised her head, and choked out a call.

Tears adorned her face, as she sobbed looking pitifully woeful.

"Speak it out."

Holly was very calm as she pulled up a chair and sat down.

"The wall is hard, and it hurts to bump one’s head."

Diana wiped the tears on her face, composed herself a bit, and then tearfully said.

Indeed, it hurts.

She knew long ago that the outcome might be disappointing, but actually experiencing the result made her heart ache terribly.

It really hurts.

Jasper Hayes was her youth, and her youthful days ended here.

"You’re great, he’s just not worth it."

Holly handed Diana a tissue.

Every girl has been lifted high by her father, never be humble, each a lovable person, don’t shed tears for unnecessary people.

"Stop crying, when you cry, it makes me want to cry too."

Bella bit her lip deeply, sniffed, her voice soft.

Ah, love is such a thing, how to describe it?

Loving right is a comedy, loving wrong is a tragedy.

"Live well in the future, start anew."

Diana wiped her tears with the tissue, took a deep breath, and made a gesture of encouragement for herself.

Yes, there’s nothing one can’t let go of, no matter how painful it is, it can be suppressed.

She had long guessed Jasper’s thoughts, but still chose to deceive herself, so although the result was painful, it was also expected.

"Yeah, live well."

Holly nodded.

Having never experienced similar situations, she couldn’t fully empathize but just felt quite sorry for Diana.

When love is absent, learn to live your own life. Living your own life is like falling in love with yourself, treating yourself as your lover, pampering yourself well.

Fish can’t survive without water, flowers wilt without water, and humans perish without it.

But love is not water, even if one might drown, self-rescue is possible.

So, after all, nobody can’t live without someone.

"Boss, thank you."

Diana looked at Holly, her eyes full of gratitude.

Thank you Holly for letting her hit the southern wall once, making her completely give up the fruitless relationship.

Falling for Jasper Hayes was the craziest thing of her youth, chasing for so long, it’s finally time to conclude.

Holly didn’t reply, only quietly watched Diana.

"It’s good to think clearly, a three-legged grasshopper is hard to find, but two-legged men are everywhere, whenever you fancy one, sis will bring him straight to you."

Bella patted her chest, promising generously and righteously.

"Do you really think bringing him over means he’s mine?"

Diana burst into laughter, amused by Bella.

Bella retorted, "Why not?"

"If he doesn’t listen, beat him up. Once isn’t enough, twice, twice isn’t enough, then thrice."

Bella blinked, smiling, and playfully mimicked a punching gesture.

"True, make him obedient by beating."

Diana covered her mouth laughing, her eyes filled with tears of joy.

Actually, Bella was joking, but it was such jokes that made her feel much lighter.

Friends are just like that, always amusing you when you’re down.

"Live well in the future, nobody can’t live without someone, live well, and enjoy life."

Holly lightly smiled, her voice gentle and soothing, with a calming effect.

Diana nodded, "Okay."

A love pursued for so long, without success, now she must live well in the future.

"Sis will introduce you to hotties in the future."

Bella hugged Diana’s shoulder, speaking righteously with a sisterly stance.

"Give it up, you’re still single yourself."

Diana pushed Bella away, talking with disgust written all over her face.

Hmm, really quite disdainful, still not solving her own problem, yet thinking of introducing men... unbelieving.

"Don’t hit where it hurts."

Bella covered her face.

Holly watched Bella and Diana’s playful banter, slightly smiling, and laughed too.
