As usual, Adrian gave Violet extra care and concern everyday. He even went to a place half an hour away from home to get her favorite breakfast. Fearing that Violet would feel burden by his care and concern, he even lied to her that it is the maid at home went to buy it. His care and concern was obvious enough for Violet to notice but not too much for her to feel burden. However, Violet seems to make it oblivious and treat Adrian as a warm brother and this make him extremely frustated.
Auntie wang saw Adrian's timid actions towards violet. 'My boy finally grew up, he is even taking care of a girl.' Auntie wang thought to herself smiling brightly. Fearing that her 'daugther in law' might run away later, she always help to gain brownie points for his son. Knowing that his thoughts were all known to his mother, Adrian always become extremely embarrassed when his mother tries to gain favour for him in front of Violet.
One day when Auntie Wang and Violet was Chatting,
"Violet, you have to eat more, look how thin you are."
"Ok, Auntie Wang"
"Violet, do you have a boy that you like?" Auntie wang tried to test Violet out
"Auntie, There isn't"
"Then What do you think about my son, Adrian?" Auntie wang had openly matchmaking his son for Violet
"Brother Adrian has always treated me well and i think he is a good brother and i have always treated him as my brother." Violet explained
Adrian was standing somewhere slightly far away listen to the conversation between the two. Although he was embarrassed by his mother open matchmaking but he was holding hopes that the girl he like will also like him but when he heard Violet's words, he hopes were dashed and a cold gloom appeared on his face. ' ha ha ha, she only think of me as an older brother and nothing else, from the beginning, it was only my wishful thinking!' Adrian thought to himself in disapointment and walk back into the room in a bad mood
"Its ok, you will find someone you like in the future. You can still consider that son of mine. He looks cold on the outside but he is a kind and warmth boy inside. You know how well he treat you, different from all other girls. Even if it is the girl we are neighbour with in the past, Mabel Liu which he play with when he was younger, he never treat her as well as how he treat you. Auntie is not giving you any pressure but I have always think of you as my daugther-in-law."
After the conversation with auntie wang, Violet went back into her room. Thinking back to all the thing Adrian did for her, a pearl-like tear rolled down her cheeks. Adrian have never rejected any request no matter how busy he is. The breakfast, the things she wanted to buy but was too pricely, she know that it was not the maid at home or not from Adrian's parents. She knew his intentions but kept trying to avoid. "I should have accepted or rejected him cleanly." Violet said to herself feeling bitter in her heart. However, she knew that she still would not be able to be in a relationship now.
