My Husband Is a Million Years Old Vampire-Chapter 75

At that moment Raymond’s gaze remained steady as he spoke, his voice carrying a firm conviction. "You deserve it, Valentina. No one deserves this more than you." There was no hesitation, no doubt—just certainty.

Valentina’s heart warmed at his words, and she found herself nodding.

"Thank you, Raymond," she said softly. This time, there was no hesitation in her gratitude. She meant it every word.

At that moment, Benjamin cleared his throat, drawing their attention. His expression was composed, but there was a hint of amusement in his eyes as he observed the two of them.

"Since Valentina will be starting work very soon, there’s no need for her to keep using the family’s car." His voice carried the weight of finality. "She’ll be moving around a lot, and Raymond won’t always be there to drive her, even if he wants to."

Hearing what Benjamin just said.

Raymond’s lips twitched slightly, but he said nothing.

Valentina blinked in surprise. "Wait, what do you mean?" She had been so focused on getting the job that she hadn’t thought about the logistics involved.

Raymond’s father leaned back in his chair, a satisfied smile forming. "It means you’re getting your own car."

Then Raymond’s fingers subtly twitched as he shot Benjamin a pointed look, silently pleading for him to stop.

He wants to be the only one dropping Valentina off to work and go pick her when she closes.

But getting her, her own car would means he wouldn’t be able to do that again.

Benjamin, was completely unfazed, continued as if he hadn’t noticed.

"It’s advisable for Raymond to get Valentina her own car," his father said, his voice calm but firm. "She’ll need it to move around freely, especially now that she’s going to be working."

Raymond exhaled quietly, realizing there was no stopping this. He had planned to drive Valentina to work himself—not just to be close to her but to ensure her safety.

However It was an excuse to spend more time with her, to protect her in his own quiet way.

But now, with Benjamin making it seem as though he wasn’t doing enough, it would only look like he was idle, as if he had no responsibilities of his own.

Still, he had no choice but to nod. "Of course. I’ll get her a car," he said smoothly, masking his disappointment.

Valentina turned to him, her expression unreadable.

"Raymond, you really don’t have to—"

"It’s already decided," his father interrupted with a satisfied smile.

Raymond smirked slightly, though there was a flicker of mischief in his eyes. Well, if they wanted to assume he had nothing better to do, he might as well make sure Valentina still had to rely on him some way or the other.

After the meeting was done, Raymond decided to go get Valentina her own her today.

And both of them left the house, Raymond leaned back against the driver’s seat, his hands resting casually on the steering wheel as Valentina settled beside him. The warmth in her voice was undeniable when she turned to him with a soft smile.

"Thank you, Raymond. For everything."

He glanced at her from the corner of his eye, smirking slightly. "You’ve been saying that a lot today," he teased.

Valentina let out a small laugh, shaking her head.

"Because I mean it. Your family... the way they welcomed me, how they trust me already... it’s not something I expected."

At that moment Raymond’s grip on the wheel tightened slightly. He knew she wasn’t used to this—to being embraced without conditions, without judgment.

He also knew she had fought her whole life for the recognition she deserved, only to be cast aside by those who should have stood by her.

"You’re my wife," he said simply. "They’d have to be blind not to see your worth."

She blinked, slightly caught off guard by the sincerity in his voice.

For a moment, she didn’t speak. Instead, she turned to look out the window, a thoughtful expression settling on her face. It wasn’t just the acceptance that warmed her heart—it was the fact that, for the first time in a long while, she felt like she belonged.

Then Raymond watched her for a second before starting the car.

"Let’s go get you that car."

Even though Valentina hadn’t found the right moment to say it, deep down, she knew the words were there—waiting. She had never been the type to wear her emotions openly, but with Raymond, things were different.

Gradually, she would get there. Gradually, she would find the courage to tell him just how much he meant to her, how thankful she was that he had stepped into her life at the moment she needed it most.

Raymond seemed to understand without her saying a word. He reached out, patting her head gently before pressing a soft kiss on her forehead.

"Take your time," he murmured. "I’ll always be waiting."

Immediately a warmth spread through her chest as she met his gaze, her lips curling into a small, genuine smile. For the first time in a long while, she didn’t feel the weight of expectations—just the quiet comfort of someone who truly saw her.

With that, they headed out toward Titan Auto Dealership, one of the most exclusive luxury car dealerships in the city.

Maria, Chloe, and Liam. They were chatting casually, their eyes occasionally flickering toward the high-end cars displayed behind the massive showroom windows.

At that moment Liam exhaled sharply, shifting his weight from one foot to the other as he glanced at his watch. He had no interest in being here, but Maria had called him personally, insisting that she needed his expertise in choosing a new car. It wasn’t like he could say no—not when she played the "mother-in-law" card on him. He wasn’t particularly thrilled, but out of respect, he had come.

What he didn’t expect was Chloe’s presence.

His brows furrowed slightly as he caught sight of her, standing casually beside Maria, her arms folded as she engaged in light conversation. She looked effortlessly composed, as if she had been expecting him all along. Liam, on the other hand, wasn’t sure how to react. He wasn’t about to cause a scene, so he simply maintained his composure and kept his hands in his pockets.
