At dinner time.
Lionel Yeager, Lily Tisdale, and Bardon Bard were drinking alcohol with Bache Arthur, one cup after another.
Camilla Greiner, Julie Stewart, and Prajna Bates were chatting and having a good time.
When dinner was over, it was more than eight o’clock in the evening.
Bache Arthur was utterly drunk.
Camilla Greiner helped Bache Arthur and said to Julie Stewart, "Betty, I’ll take your dad home."
Julie Stewart nodded and said, "Mom, be careful on the way back."
"Don’t worry, it’ll be fine."
Camilla Greiner responded and then winked at Julie Stewart, "Betty, be quick!"
"Mom..."
Julie Stewart naturally knew what her mother meant and suddenly blushed.
However, Lionel Yeager, Lily Tisdale, Bardon Bard, and Prajna Bates looked puzzled.
After Camilla Greiner and Bache Arthur left,
Julie Stewart said, "Lily, Bardon, Prajna, I want to take a walk with Lionel alone, you guys..."
Bardon grinned, "Sister Betty, don’t worry about us, we’ll go find our own fun."
After that, Bardon, Lily Tisdale, and Prajna Bates left in a hurry.
Julie Stewart said softly, "Mullen, would you accompany me for a walk?"
"Sure!"
Lionel Yeager agreed immediately.
Then, the two of them hailed a taxi and left the restaurant.
Twenty minutes later, the car stopped in a bustling pedestrian street.
Lionel Yeager and Julie Stewart got out of the car and entered the pedestrian street.
Although it was already evening, for the people of Fragrance River, the nightlife had just begun.
So, the street was full of fashionable young men and women shopping around.
However, the arrival of Julie Stewart immediately attracted the attention of many people.
It couldn’t be helped, Julie Stewart was top-notch in terms of appearance, figure, and temperament.
Those who didn’t know her would think she was a big star shopping around.
Julie Stewart seemed very happy, and her steps were light.
"Mullen, thank you."
Julie Stewart suddenly thanked him.
Lionel Yeager waved his hand, "Sister Betty, with our relationship, is there any need to say thank you?"
Julie Stewart looked at Lionel Yeager with shining eyes and asked, "So, what is our relationship?"
"That..."
Lionel Yeager wanted to express his feelings, but he didn’t know how to say it when the words reached his mouth.
Julie Stewart chuckled, "You big fool, come on, let’s go shopping in that accessory store!"
With that, Julie Stewart took Lionel Yeager’s hand and walked into an accessory shop nearby.
After entering the accessory shop, Julie Stewart’s eyes lit up, and she looked around very happily.
Lionel Yeager acted as a follower, following her from behind.
After a while,
Julie Stewart picked up a Cherry Blossom hairpin and handed it to Lionel Yeager, "Here, help me put it on!"
Lionel Yeager held the hairpin and asked blankly, "Sister Betty, you sure you want to wear such a cute hairpin?"
Julie Stewart chided, "Oh, just try it!"
"Alright!"
Lionel Yeager nodded, and then, facing the mirror, carefully helped her put on the hairpin.
At this moment,
An indescribable affection was flowing in the hearts of the two.
When Lionel Yeager’s fingers brushed through her hair, he was momentarily lost in thought.
Julie Stewart’s charming face was also tinted with two blushes.
After the hairpin was in place,
Julie Stewart looked at herself in the mirror and shyly asked, "Mullen, do I look too childish?"
Lionel Yeager shook his head, "How could it be? Sister Betty, you can’t be called childish at all, you are actually very young, okay?"
Julie Stewart helplessly said, "I am not young anymore, I am already over thirty."
Turns out, this cute hairpin doesn’t suit me after all."
With that, she was about to take off the hairpin.
Lionel Yeager said earnestly, "Sister Betty, this hairpin is very suitable for you, don’t take it off, it looks great like this!"
Usually, she would dress up very mature and intellectual, but occasionally wearing some cute little accessories not only didn’t seem contrived but gave her an additional touch of radiance.
After walking a short distance, they saw a street singer singing up ahead.
Julie Stewart had noticed Lionel Yeager approach early on.
Her face was full of tenderness as she looked at Lionel Yeager, her eyes filled with enchantment and gentleness.
Lionel Yeager also looked at Julie Stewart.
At this moment-
It seemed as if only the two of them were left on the entire street.
In each of their eyes, only the other remained.
"Finally waited for you, glad I didn’t give up, happiness comes so hard, people cherish it even more..."
As she sang, tears trickled down from the corner of the woman’s eye, but her lips were curled upward slightly.
These were tears of happiness.
As Lionel Yeager listened to her singing, he recalled the bits and pieces of the time he had spent with the woman.
Those fragments flashed in his mind like movie scenes.
Though they hadn’t experienced too many profound things together.
But, those bits and pieces of small events filled their hearts with value.
The song finally ended.
The whole scene suddenly fell silent.
Less than a minute later-
Everyone present started clamoring.
"You sing ’Finally Waited for You’ so beautifully, sing another one!"
"This singing voice goes straight into people’s hearts, it reminds me of my own love!"
"One more! One more!"
However, Julie Stewart did not continue singing, but instead looked at Lionel Yeager.
Holding the microphone, she gently said, "Mullen, this song is for you, and for me.
I originally thought that a woman my age could never have another love, that I could only spend my whole life alone.
But I didn’t expect that heaven would let me meet you.
I’m grateful for our meeting, our companionship, and having you with me on this journey.
I finally waited for you, I’m glad I didn’t give up.
Mullen... I love you!!!"
