Chapter 84 Harleen's Transformation

"It didn't cost me much, they gave me a big discount because my friend is there. And now that we're family, you don't have to be polite with me anymore." Said Billy.

Later that day, he saw the text message for his phone bill and found out Ambrose only charged him ten million. He had originally planned to call Egbert and transfer the money back to him, but he was afraid that Egbert probably wouldn't accept it. So he left it to Derek to handle. He believed that Derek understood what he meant.

"Billy..." Harleen looked at Billy, hesitating.

"What's wrong?"

"I... my parents have been talking a lot about us these past few days," Harleen took a deep breath before continuing. "They want us..."

"Harleen, do you want me to take care of you and Tasha in the future?" Billy looked at her.

"Tasha is growing up quickly and will soon be in elementary school. She needs a complete family..." Harleen answered evasively.

"Harleen, let's not talk about your parents or Tasha right now. If we just talk about us two, do you want to be together with me forever?"

"I... you are my first man and also my only one. For any woman in this world, there can never be anyone else in their heart like you. Over the past five years, I have never hated you. Instead, many times I dreamt of you in my dreams. When we were in Cloud City before, I treated you that way because Tasha's situation made me very vulnerable and I needed an outlet to vent. But since then,

I've seen how much you've put into this home, including your genuine fatherly love for Tasha." Said Harleen.

"So..." she trailed off because she knew Billy understood what she meant.

"Harleen, thank you," Billy spoke softly. "Thank you for accepting and recognizing me. Believe me when I say that I won't let you or Tasha down." ConTEent bel0ngs to Nôv(e)lD/rama(.)Org .

Harleen nodded slightly and replied, "I believe in you."

"Harleen, how about we go get our marriage license another day?" Billy smiled.

"Dream on! You haven't even proposed yet..." Harleen blushed but laughed playfully as she teased him. It was the purest laugh she had had in a long time.

Before meeting Billy, she was a very lively and outgoing girl who was well-liked wherever she went. But after the incident happened to her family, life cruelly transformed her into someone else entirely. Now that all the pressure had been lifted and they could be together as a family again with joyous hearts, which seemed like the old version of herself.

Billy enjoyed this new side of Harleen, who was confident and cheerful.

"We're an old married couple, do I still need to propose?" Billy's mood was also great.

"Who said we're an old married couple?" Harleen pouted her sexy lips and gave him a roll of her eyes. "No proposal, no marriage!"

"Alright then!" Billy laughed. "I'll have to think about how to propose properly!"

In fact, he didn't need Harleen to say it. He had already told himself that he would make Harleen the envy of everyone. He just hadn't thought of a suitable way yet; this would definitely require some

brainpower.

"You better think seriously about it, if I'm not satisfied, I won't marry you." Harleen responded with a smile.

"What? It's going to be that difficult?"

"You have to believe in yourself."

"..."

After fooling around for a while longer, Billy parked the car at a restaurant's parking lot. He naturally held onto Harleen's hand they walked into the restaurant. Harleen didn't avoid him.

Soon, they came to a private room on the second floor, where there were two men and two women. The gentlemen were dressed in designer clothes, looking confident and proud; the ladies looked gorgeous, close to Harleen's age, though they were not ads beautiful as Harleen.

When they saw Harleen, their eyes lit up and a hint of amazement flashed through their pupils.

"Harleen, why did you take so long? Come sit with us!" The curvaceous woman exclaimed loudly when she saw Harleen.

"Sorry, there was some traffic on the way." Harleen smiled in response and then sat down with Billy.

"Harleen, is this your husband? He's so handsome!" The other woman looked at Billy and couldn't help but exclaim in admiration.

"You two are a perfect match!"

"Thank you!" Harleen smiled sweetly.

Billy noticed that Harleen didn't deny when they referred him as her husband, his eyes brightened. Harleen was trying to accept him, which was great news.

"Billy, these two are my good friends Eloise Townsend and Shana Hudson." Harleen introduced them to Billy while pointing at the two women next to her.

"Hello, Mr Gardner!" Both women looked at Billy with a smile on their faces.

"Ms Townsend, Ms Hudson, hello! Thank you for helping Harleen all these years." Billy responded with a smile.

"No problem, we've been friends with Harleen for over ten years now." Eloise replied with a smile after pausing briefly. After a pause, she pointed to the two men and said, "Harleen, let me introduce our friends Lawrence Fisher and Eugene Gross."

"Gentlemen, you don't need any introduction to Harleen, right? Since she's the most famous beauty in Ozin."

"Yea, who doesn't know Ms Knight in Ozin?" responded Eugene with a smile.

"Absolutely! Even if we were ignorant, we would have heard of Ms Knight!" added Lawrence with a grin. Then, in a condescending tone, he turned to Billy and asked, "I wonder where Mr Gardner is?"

"My husband is in the military!" Harleen replied before Billy could respond, looking slightly proud. She had idolized soldiers since she was young and had even dreamed of marrying one when she grew up. She never thought that her dream would come true now.

"So you're a soldier?" Lawrence asked arrogantly. "What rank are you now?"

"I don't have any rank and I don't need one." Billy replied calmly.

As the King of the West and master of SHADOW, he didn't need any military rank. His name was enough to represent everything.

"I didn't expect you to be quite humorous, Mr Gardner." Eugene laughed. "Could it be that you're too embarrassed to say it?"
