Female Novel
Chapter 152: As Long As It Makes You Happy
In No.2 Villa in the Ensfield, Wendy's voice came out.
"What?! Move out?"
When Wendy arrived home late at night, she found that the light was still on.
Confused, she went to the living room and saw Reese sitting on the sofa, watching TV.
Seeing that her sister was back, Reese immediately told Wendy her plan without beating around thebush.
Wendy was taken aback by this.
"But why? Is it because I'm too busy with work?" she asked with a frown.
"No""
Reese pulled Wendy to the sofa to sit down and retorted, "You've always been busy.Did I complainabout that before?"
As she spoke, Reese poured Wendy a glass of water thoughtfully and proudly said, "I'm actually happythat you're independent and living a good life."
"Then why do you want to move out?" Wendy asked in confusion.
Reese happily took out her bank card from her pocket and waved it in front of Wendy.
"Bank card?"
With a chuckle, Reese shook her head and explained, "No.It's the money! The house Flynn had givenme when we divorced was sold for about ten million dollars.Ten million!"
Reese's voice trembled when she spoke.
Until now, she still could not believe it! She had never seen, much less had such a great amount ofmoney in her life.
When her mother was still alive back then, her grandfather left a lot of money to her mother.
The latter would then give Reese allowance whenever New Year's Day came.
It was like a gift in celebration of being another year older.
At that time, she felt as though she was the richest woman in the world.
But now, looking at the ten million dollars, she was in awe.
Never in her life did she expect she would ever be a multimillionaire!
"Wendy, I'm so happy.I'll be able to do everything I want with this money."
"You can still do that without moving out!"
"No.This money is all the more reason why I should."
Upon hearing that, Wendy frowned and waited for Reese's explanation.
"Up until I turned 12, I was with you and Mom.Before I reached 17, I was also with you andGrandma.When I turned 18, I married Flynn.I feel like I've never been independent my whole life.I'vealways thought about that.Now, Flynn and Dad won't cause trouble again.Meanwhile, you have yourown business to do.At first, I thought I could stay here forever and take care of Ray, but then I realizedthat he has grown up.He doesn't need me to take care of him anymore."
Wendy opened her mouth to protest, but Reese interjected, "Shh! Let me speak first.Ray is usually veryquiet.He plays with Precious every day, but they don't require supervision at all.They just spend theirentire day watching TV or reading books.When you're not at home, Mr.Ryan would ask the servant tobring Ray and Precious their breakfast, lunch, and dinner.There's nothing to worry about.The securitysystem here is complete, and there are servants in the villa.It doesn't actually matter if I'm here or not."
"Sister, I beg to disagree!"
Wendy leaned on Reese's shoulder and continued, "Who says it doesn't matter? You don't know howrelieved I am when I know you're here.When I go home after work, you always prepare a cup of warmwater for me.It makes me happy."
"You silly girl!"
With a chuckle, Reese stroked Wendy's long hair and added, "But I can't stay here forever.Sooner orlater, I have to leave."
"Sister, no!"
"The truth is I've made a deal with Mr.Ryan."
Wendy was stunned upon hearing that.
"Ryan? What does it have to do with him?" she asked incredulously.
"Wendy, Mr.Ryan has helped us a lot.We should be grateful to him."
Reese patted Wendy's head and continued, "Mr.Ryan helped me a lot this time.You should thank him,even on my behalf."
"He helped you?"
"Yes!"
Reese's eyes lit up, and she explained, "I've been thinking about what to do in the future.The last timewe went shopping together, I've realized that I'm interested in clothes.I want to study fashion design.”
Seeing that her sister had finally realized her dream, Wendy was ecstatic.
"Sister, I'll support you wholeheartedly!" she cheered excitedly.
Reese rolled her eyes at her and joked, "What's the use of moral support? Anyway, I've been meaningto talk to you about this for days.I just couldn't find the right time.You leave early and return homelate.It's hard to see you, let alone talk to you."
Wendy scratched her head in embarrassment.
Truth be told, she had been doing that not because of work but because of Ryan.
She had been avoiding him these past few days because of their agreement.
Nevertheless, although Ryan had promised not to see her for a week, they lived so close that it wasalmost impossible for them not to bump into each other.
In order for Wendy not to meet him, she would leave early in the morning and return late at night.
"Sister—"
"Don't worry.I know you're busy, and I understand.Just so you know, when you're not home, Mr.Ryanoccasionally comes by.He doesn't talk much, but he plays with Precious and Ray.Although he looksserious, he's patient and considerate of the two children.From the way I see it, Ray is starting to likehim more."
Wendy looked at the ceiling in exasperation.
‘'Damn it! Well, I have to admit that his plan of winning people's hearts is clever.Even Ray and my sisterspeaks for him’' she mused.novelbin
"Sister"
"I've talked to Mr.Ryan these past two days and discussed my plan.He didn't say anything in response.Ithought my aspiration was a dead end, but I was wrong.He came by this morning and told me that hehad contacted a designer.He said that if I want to learn how to design, I can be that designer's assistantfirst."
"He contacted a designer for you?"
"Yes!"
Reese exclaimed, unable to hide her excitement.
"Wendy, do you know who the designer is?" she asked with a beaming smile.
"Who is it?"
"Mr.Brandon Edwin, the founder of the brand WJ! I can't believe it! WJ is one of the top luxury brands inthe country.It's amazing that Mr.Brandon Edwin was able to promote his brand to the whole world at ayoung age! Learning from him is a great opportunity for me.Honestly, when Mr.Ryan told me that, Ithought I was dreaming! Not only is Mr.Brandon talented, but he's also outstanding when it comes tobusiness.It's such a great honor for me to learn from him, even just for a while."
Wendy had heard of that brand.
As a matter of fact, most of the people in the world knew it.
It was a typical brand full of oriental elements.
However, the combination of classical style and modern fashion made every dress they designed thebest of the best.
It had only been seven years since WJ had been founded.
Even so, it had become extremely popular four years after its launch.
It was impressive! Three years ago, a female superstar named Valery walked on the red carpet of aninternational film festival wearing Mr.Brandon Edwin's gown.
Since then, his work had been recognized all over the world for its ingenuity and uniqueness.
Years after that, WJ opened more than 30 branches around the country, igniting popularity among thepublic.
And now, not a single person in the country did not know WJ.
That was how sensational that brand was.
In Wendy's mind, it was wonderful that her sister would learn from the best.
"Sister, did Mr.Edwin agree?"
With her face flushed with excitement, Reese nodded enthusiastically and said, "I don't know howMr.Ryan communicated with Mr.Edwin, but he agreed.Mr.Edwin even said that I could start whenever Iwant."
'’Damn! Ryan really helped my sister big time.I must admit, helping Reese is almost the same ashelping me.What should I do? This is driving me nuts!’' Wendy mused.
In all honesty, she was hesitant at first if she should accept Ryan's profession of love and be hisgirlfriend.
But right now, she was moved by his gesture that she wanted to agree to his proposal.
"Don't worry, sis” I'll thank him when I have the chance.
"Oh.Mr.Ryan said you don't have to do that."
"What? Why not?"
Reese looked at Wendy meaningfully and explained, "He said he'd do anything as long it makes younappy”
