Chapter 74: I Will Protect You
"I’ve told you not to say things like that. Why don’t you listen?"
Mr. William Foster, who has always been domineering, was startled by this sudden reprimand, but instead, a sweet feeling surged in his heart.
This girl’s words surprised him and made him feel warm.
He reached out again, and the warm sunlight just happened to fall upon the back of his hand, adding a touch of warmth to the moment.
Although he hasn’t met Clara Bennett many times, he firmly believes that as long as he reaches out, she will definitely accept him.
Sure enough, Clara Bennett reached out and held his hand, and William Foster held her hand tightly with his other hand, his tone becoming much softer.
"I’m not belittling myself; I’m just worried that this might affect you, and people will talk about you a lot."
Clara Bennett dismissively said, "I don’t care about the gossip; I just don’t want fans to misunderstand me because of it. If I become famous someday, there will always be people digging for the truth, and that’s not good for you either. I’d rather focus on acting than pay attention to boring gossip. But I also want your presence to be known."
Having once broken her legs and experienced death, she deeply understood the importance of protection and support.
The past humiliation, mockery, and disdain had become a norm in her life, honing a resilient heart.
Because she had been through the storm, she hoped even more to hold up an umbrella for William Foster, sheltering him from the wind and rain.
William Foster might not realize that he unconsciously tends to mention harsh words like "trash."
