I Was Hoping She Would Notice but again Now When She Did... Im Tired
Chapter 57: the real happiness

As they stepped into the showroom, a middle-aged woman in a sleek, black uniform approached them. Her smile was gentle yet professional, one that carried the warmth of a person who knew how to make anyone feel welcomed, no matter who they were.

"Hello, ma'am, sir. I'm Milly. How can I help you today?" she said, nodding politely, her gaze particularly gentle as it landed on Garry's mother.

Garry nodded back with respectful politeness, noting the woman's age. She seemed like someone who could easily have been one of his mother's friends. He wasn't here to act arrogant or show off. His mother's values echoed in his mind: respect everyone's work. So, he answered, "Thank you, Milly. We'll take a look around and see what feels right."

His mother, who had been quietly glancing around the luxurious space, suddenly tugged at his sleeve, her voice low and unsure. "Garry, are you sure about this? This place… these cars…" Her gaze drifted to the line-up of gleaming sedans and high-end sports cars with disbelief. She'd never imagined standing in such a place, let alone with the intention to buy.

Garry placed his hand on hers, gently reassuring her. "Mom, it's a car showroom. That's all it is," he said with a soft smile, his tone as if they were just window-shopping at the local market.

But she couldn't shake the feeling of disbelief, eyeing the lineup. Rolls-Royces, Bentleys, Lamborghinis she recognized them only from magazines or a fleeting glance on TV. The prices were far beyond anything she'd thought possible, like stepping into a dream she hadn't dared dream. "Garry, listen… you know we don't have money for this.

Even if we managed somehow, these cars… they cost a fortune." She looked at him, her brows drawn together, searching his face for any sign of hesitation.

He understood her worry, the anxiety etched in her expression. She probably thought he'd dragged her here out of some teenage rebellion or resentment, some kind of comparison to friends who might have nicer things. She looked so concerned that Garry's heart felt a tug, realizing how deeply she worried for him, even now.

"Garry," she whispered, pulling him aside and speaking even softer, "I'm sorry if you feel embarrassed because of… everything we don't have. I know some of your friends might be able to afford these things, and it's hard… but let's be practical, sweetheart. Let's go to a different place, maybe somewhere where we could replace a car within our reach. I'll replace a way.

I'll manage a cheap one on EMI if it really matters to you…"

Garry's throat tightened as he listened, seeing the quiet resolve on her face, the love hidden under her worry. She was willing to shoulder a debt she couldn't afford just so he wouldn't feel less than anyone else, even if it meant years of financial strain. In her mind, this wasn't about material wealth; it was about trying to make him happy, even in small, manageable ways.

He felt a rush of emotions, a mix of gratitude and sadness. His mother's words only strengthened his resolve. He looked down at her hand in his, feeling the callouses, a silent testimony of years of sacrifices, of her holding everything together after his father's passing. He closed his other hand over hers, encasing it gently.

When he finally looked up, his eyes were bright with unshed tears of happiness. He wanted this moment to be everything he had once wished he could give her but hadn't been able to.

"Mom," he whispered, his voice choked but steady. "Look at me." She lifted her eyes to meet his, startled at the depth of emotion she saw there. "Today, you can have anything here. Any car you lay your hand on… we'll drive it home."

Her mouth parted slightly in shock, her eyes widening as his words sank in. She searched his gaze, trying to grasp if he was serious. But there was no jest in his expression, only the pure joy of a son finally fulfilling a wish he had been harboring for far too long.

"Garry… this isn't… we don't… how can we…" she stammered, her disbelief evident as she glanced again at the luxurious cars that filled the showroom.

But Garry simply held her hands tighter. "Mom," he said, his voice soft and filled with warmth, "I'm not that little boy anymore. I have what we need now. I've made sure of it. This isn't about me or my friends, or any of that. This is about you.

You deserve something for yourself… for everything you've done. I want you to have this."

Tears welled in her eyes, the strength of his words pulling at emotions she had kept locked away. She remembered all the years of struggle, of doing without, of pushing her own needs aside just so Garry could have something more. And here he was, offering her something she'd never dreamed of, in a moment she hadn't thought would ever come.

Milly, the showroom assistant, had been watching silently from a respectful distance, her own smile softening as she saw the quiet exchange between mother and son. She could sense the weight of this moment, the way Garry's mother looked at him in shock, and perhaps a little disbelief, as if she'd stumbled into a fairy tale she didn't belong in.

"Take your time," Milly said gently, with the kindness of someone who understood that, sometimes, dreams took a moment to sink in.

Garry's mother looked at him again, her expression half in disbelief, half in awe. She asked in a voice that trembled just slightly, "Garry, do you… really have this kind of money?" Her eyes searched his face, as if trying to discern if this was all real or if her son was somehow joking. "And where did you get it?"

Garry smiled, seeing the flicker of doubt but also the pride she tried to hide. He took a breath and answered, his voice steady, "Don't worry, Mom. I really do have the money, and it's all legitimate. I didn't cut any corners or do anything illegal. It's just… an online business I've been doing with some friends for a while. It's working out better than I thought it would."

Seeing the way her shoulders relaxed slightly, he felt relieved. But he could still sense her hesitation, the uncertainty in her eyes. She wasn't used to things coming this easy; neither of them were.

He leaned in closer, his voice tender but determined. "Please, Mom. Just pick a car you like. You don't need to worry about anything else. Just lay a finger on one, and I'll make sure we drive it home today." There was a warmth in his gaze, a kind of pure love that only a son who's seen his mother struggle could possess.

Her lips trembled into a smile, and she shook her head a little, trying to rein in her emotions. She laughed, her voice filled with a soft disbelief as she patted his back, almost as if comforting herself with the familiarity of the gesture. "Look at you, acting all grown up, like you can take care of me now," she teased, her tone light but her face glowing with pride.

Milly, who had been observing them from the side, felt an unexpected warmth fill her heart. She'd met plenty of customers in her time people with more money than they knew what to do with, eager to flaunt their wealth but this was different. This boy wasn't here to show off. His whole purpose was to make his mother feel seen, valued, loved.

Milly felt a pang of envy, but it was quickly overshadowed by genuine happiness for this woman standing in front of her. She couldn't help but smile.

"You have a very good son," Milly said kindly, her voice genuine as she looked at Garry's mother.

She turned to Milly, a little flustered, as if the praise was something unfamiliar to her. "Yes," she nodded, her voice catching slightly, "he is such a good boy. I'm so proud of him." She looked back at Garry, her eyes soft with pride and happiness, but also the unspoken worry of a mother who still couldn't quite believe that they were in this moment.

Garry's eyes shone with excitement, and he turned to her, "So, Mom, go on pick one. Which car do you like?"

"Oh, no, Garry," she said, shaking her head and smiling in a way that was both motherly and deeply affectionate, "You're the one who's going to drive it around. You should pick whatever you like.

After all, it'll be your car, not mine." She laughed softly, hiding her own thrill behind a practical tone, even as her eyes darted over the luxurious vehicles, clearly drawn to the idea that her son could have something so nice.

But Garry was unwavering. He took her hands in his again, and his voice was warm and insistent. "Mom, this isn't about me. It's about you. I want something that you like. This is for you.

Please… I want you to choose it. Whichever one catches your eye, that's the one we'll take." Your next chapter is on M V L

For a moment, she was silent, her eyes filled with a mix of emotions that words couldn't capture pride, disbelief, the quiet joy of being thought of so deeply. It was as if a thousand dreams and sacrifices she'd made all condensed into this one moment, this one choice.

Seeing the resolution in his gaze, she let out a soft sigh of surrender and nodded, an emotional smile breaking onto her face. "Alright," she whispered, her voice a bit choked. She took a steadying breath, looking at him as if he were some kind of miracle she'd never expected. "If you're so determined… I'll choose one.

But don't complain later if it's not exactly your style," she teased, a playful pout on her face that only added to the warmth of the moment.
