Love Together, Be With You Never

"I thought of you when I passed by!" I smiled and was pulled back from my memories.

Dane seemed a little nervous. He wanted to talk to me, but he opened his mouth and didn't say anything for a while.

"Dane, thank you!" I said first. Although Dane had also bullied me, I didn't hate him at all when I saw him now. Instead, I was very grateful to him for helping me last night. He brought up that thing and didn't mind getting hurt.

Dane scratched his head. "No, I should thank you. I finally get a chance to get back at Alicia after so many years!" After a pause, Dane continued, "Rachael, I'm sorry!"

Suddenly, I felt so aggrieved. I knew that he was apologizing for bullying me when we were little kids. However, for so many years, no one had ever apologized to me after they hurt me. Dane was the first one to do so. I had got over him a long time ago, but I really wanted to cry because of his apology!

"I'm sorry. I hurt you at that time!" Dane apologized again.

"It doesn't matter. It's over!" I took a deep breath, hid my emotions, and smiled at him.

Dane nodded, "Yeah. You'll get better with ... Mr. Charles!" Dane said the last two words with difficulty.

"It's been so many years. I never thought that you would be Mr. Charles' fiancé. Rachael, you're amazing!" Dane said, but his eyes flashed with complicated emotions.

"Yeah. We will get better!" Thinking of my relationship with Kieran, I simply smiled and nodded.

"I read the news. I thought that Alicia would be screwed up this time. But the news only appeared for an hour in the morning. Then it disappeared!" Dane clenched his fists. That was too bad.

"Don't worry. Alicia could hide this scandal, but I will create a bigger one for her. Her past will catch up with her. Just wait!"

Then I raised my head and found Dane was staring at me. I was confused and touched my face. "What's wrong? Is there anything on my face, or...?"

Dane shook his head and smiled. "Rachael, you've changed!"

I was upset. He was the second person to say that today.

"You used to be very obedient. To put it bluntly, you were a pushover. But now, you are different. You know how to protect yourself and not let anyone offend you. That's good!"

I nodded. I had suffered much, and I had to protect many people. That was why I changed, and I wanted to change faster and grow stronger!

After saying goodbye to Dane, I went straight to Adrian's place. I had made an appointment with him. When I got there, he was waiting for me at the door. He also saw me, so he came over and hugged me. "Rachael, you finally came. I've been waiting for you here, like a statue!"

"It's so hot. You don't have to do that. You might get a sunstroke!" I did not like people being close to me, especially hugging me like this. However, Adrian was fine. When he acted pouty like that, I always thought of Davidson.

I hadn't seen Davidson for a long time. But he should not come back now. I could not protect him.

"Rachael, I've prepared everything!" Adrian smiled at me.

"Thank you!" I stopped thinking about Davidson and followed him inside.

Adrian had prepared all the equipment in the studio. However, looking at the equipment that I couldn't even name, I felt a little embarrassed. Where should I start?

I must submit the final draft tomorrow. But I couldn't learn to use the equipment in one day! However, I didn't want Adrian to draw for me. I didn't know why, but I just didn't want him to do that.

"Don't worry. I'm a genius. I promise that you'll nail it before you get off work!" Adrian knew I was worried and tried to comfort me.

"But I don't know anything about designing clothes. I don't even know how to paint!" I said.

"It doesn't matter. You'll learn these basic skills in the future. Today, we just make full use of our imagination!" Adrian looked very relaxed.

"How?" I was still worried.

Adrian took a large sketch book and opened it. He picked up a pen and began to draw. "We need a model for designing clothes. I'll draw it now. It can help you better imagine the clothes you want!" As he spoke, several cute babies appeared on the paper.

"Rachael, do you want a girl or a boy?" Adrian asked.

I smiled and stroked my belly. "It doesn't matter. I'll always love my kid!"

"Then what kind of clothes do you want for your kid?" Adrian gave me the sketch book and the pen.

I looked at the pen and hesitated. After a while, I took it over. I looked at the babies in the sketch book and didn't know what to do next.

"Rachael, it's summer now. And it's very hot. I want to design short trousers for myself!" Adrian tried to inspire me. He drew himself on another sketch book. Then he drew a pair of shorts on his body.

"I like simple clothes. I don't want bright colors or new styles. I don't like too many decorations. My favorite color is white. Now look at it! It's done!" Adrian showed me his final draft.

The shorts he painted looked very simple. I already liked them. Adrian was indeed a great designer. A few strokes made the shorts perfect.

"Don't be afraid. There are no bad designs if you like it. Don't get troubled by others' comments. As long as you put love into your design, it will be good. That is you!" Adrian smiled at me.

I looked at Adrian. He looked bright with his clear eyes. He smiled like the warm sun.

"Okay, I'll try!" I nodded. Perhaps it was because Adrian was here. I was not worried at all. Various ideas popped out in my mind.

Adrian was right. There were no bad or wrong designs if you liked it. If you were troubled by others' comments, it would not be your own work.

This project with the Marlon Group was not so much a product designed for all babies as a product specifically designed for Alicia's child.
