Chapter 239: It’s Her Birthday!
Leander recalled what Gabriella said. If she grew up insecurely, it is understandable that she is insecure. Maybe she is saying this to mitigate the damages of her perceived notion that her love kills.
But to compare her love with his...
Love is not something to compare. Love is not a competition. Love is a mix of emotions. Everyone expresses love in different ways.
She put herself at risk to save him, twice! Isn’t there a better expression of love than that?
When will she see what she does for what it is?
He found that she is a confident person when she finds the need to be confident. She is brave. Running toward a bullet needs bravery. Cutting off the manhood of a man needs bravery too. She is not a genius. But she is not very dumb either. She knows it when he lies and she is wise to know when she can push back against him and when to keep her thoughts to herself.
She annoys him at times too, but most times, she is plainly adorable.
He slowly let her take the reins of the household management. First, she took control of what used to be his bedroom, then the kitchen, and now she is running their house. She didn’t disappoint him even once. She is not second-guessing; she does not ask for his opinion each time.
She probably doesn’t even realize that she runs the Orchid Gardens now. Or she does. But she still hasn’t realized what it means. He doesn’t care to know what she thinks about that.
All he knows is that it would have driven her thoughts wild if he just handed over the duties to her directly, as she is his wife. But now that he handed it over indirectly, she won’t be thinking much of it.
He wanted her to take care of the duties and she does. He’s happy, she is happy. That is enough.
She is running their house smoothly as when he took care of it. As an added bonus, all of his staff are happy. Happy people tend to be more loyal; he knew. They are very loyal to her.
