Chapter 82: Chapter 82
Before going back home, Leo accompanied Barbara to the supermarket and bought meat and vegetables for lunch.
There was a stall at the entrance of the supermarket that sold fried chestnuts. Barbara liked it, so she would buy some chestnuts every time when she came here. The one who sold the millet was a middle—aged lady.
She had a kind personality and her voice was especially loud. As she helped Barbara pick chestnuts, she asked, "Girl, is that your boyfriend or your husband?"
Women loved to gossip. Especially when they saw a pair of handsome men and women like this, no one would gossip for a bit. Hearing this, Barbara unconsciously turned to look at Leo. Whenever she bought anything, he would wait by her side, carrying large bags without a trace of impatience.
She looked back at the woman and smiled, "He's my husband." When she said that, Barbara suddenly felt as if she owned an entire world.
"Little girl, there are a lot of men who are willing to accompany with you to buy vegetables, but there are very few men will always be with you. You can't let somebody else steal him from you."
"Yes, I know." Barbara vigorously nodded her head, "Thank you, Auntie."Yes, how could such a good man be taken away by others?The woman reminded Barbara of her mother, as if the woman was an elder talking to her own child. In fact, her mother truly loved her dearly.
When she agreed to the engagement with Clare, her mother had said the same words. At that time, Barbara's mother wiped away her tears and said, "Of course, Mom doesn't really want you to marry someone who's rich. Mom only wants him to be nice to you, to love you, to protect you. But Mom can't make the decision for you …"
Sometimes, Barbara really wanted to call her mother and tell her that she had found someone she wanted to spend her life with. But she still didn't have the courage.
Perhaps it wasn't that she didn't have the courage, but that she was afraid that if she called her mother, her mother would be tortured.
"Look at how nice her husband is, he often comes to buy vegetables with her."
After Barbara and Leo walked for a distance, the Auntie's loud voice reached their ears. Barbara looked up at Leo, and laughed, "That auntie is praising you."
Leo held the bag in one hand, and used the other to hold Barbara's hand, "Mm."Barbara rolled her eyes, why should he be so emotionless.
Just as Barbara was extremely dissatisfied with him, she heard him say, "Because you're nice too."
Hearing his words, Barbara raised her eyebrows and laughed happily. Because they were nice, so they chose each other in the midst of thousands of people, before they fall in love for each other.
Barbara looked at Leo's straight back, and carefully reached out and hooked his arm. She was thinking that if she tried to take a step forward, then she will see a different world.
"Mr. Young, Mrs. Young, how do you do!" Along with an especially sweet voice, Julie, who was like a doll, jumped over and greeted them with a smile.
"What about your husband?" Leo knew that Julie would appear here, and he must be nearby. Julie turned around and looked at the car, and spoke in broken Chinese, "He told me to take full dress."
The car was parked not far from them, its windows open. Barbara looked over and could clearly see that the man sitting in the driver's seat had black hair and brown eyes.
His hair was disheveled on his head, as if he had not tidied it up for a few days. His features were Italian, with deep eye sockets and a high nose bridge. As if he had sensed Barbara's gaze.
The man turned and looked over, colliding into Barbara's gaze, revealing a profound smile. Barbara felt a little uncomfortable under his gaze and quickly retracted her gaze. Then she looked at Julie, "Originally, I should have given the full dress back to you. I'm really sorry for you."
"You're welcome." It was rare for Julie to leave the villa. And now that she had the chance to do so, she felt so happy. How could she feel it's troublesome?
Ivan did not get off the car, nor did Leo go over to greet him. The two of them should be good friends, but neither of them planned to greet with each other.
Barbara could not help but turn and look at Ivan again
——
The Italian designer Ivan was her idol. However, it was just that this Ivan was not as she had imagined. The photos of Ivan on the internet were handsome and sunny, but the Ivan showed a sense of bohemian.
Back then, Barbara's biggest dream was to go to Italy and learn from Ivan. In order for her to go abroad to study with Ivan, Barbara's mother had sold the emerald bangles that inherit from ancestor.
Her mother Maria said, "Of course, as long as you like it, anything I do is worth it."
But her mother's money was intercepted by her father. Her father chose a major for Barbara which Barbara didn't like. After that, Maria's money was used by his father to send Ellis to America to study. Her father Kenny then deprived her of the chance to go abroad to study.
At this moment, her idol Ivan was right in front of her. As if a foot away. This kind of feeling was really very excited and complicated. She really wanted to run over and ask Ivan if he still wanted to take in disciples. As long as he was willing to take her in, she could work for him and didn't care the pay.
Barbara really wanted to do this, but she suppressed her impulse. Right now, she was not alone. So, no matter what decision she made, she would have to consider Leo's feelings first.
After going back home to grab the full dress, Barbara escorted Julie downstairs. Because of the incident that happened that night, Barbara had stitched the dress back then, so she felt that she should apologize to the original designer.
Barbara had just arrived at the side of the car, then the man inside spoke out, "Mrs. Young, the man in your carriage isn't cute at all. How can he ignore me when I'm sitting here?”
Barbara was surprised that this half—blood man's Chinese was so good. After being surprised, she said, "That's the way Leo is, he does not like to speak normally. I hope that you do not mind it."
"I won't mind it. " Ivan smiled, and said, "Considering Mrs. Young is so beautiful, I will not charge this full dress.”
Barbara smiled, "Thank you!"
Ivan then said, "Mrs. Young is truly courteous, look at Mr. Young, we are all so familiar with each other, he's still emotionless like it."
