He certainly had drunk more than a little! Just how much did he drink?
“Let me go!” shouted Grace.
However, his hands still clung to her. “Tell me, how can I find you? I’ve been looking for you for a long time, but I can’t find you! I can’t find…”
Grace shuddered. Was… Brian mistaking her for someone. else? She did not think he meant to say these words to her.
“Let me go first, Mr. Hart, You’re drunk,” said Grace. He held her tightly with his arms, rendering her struggles useless.
It was at such times that the difference in strength between a man and a woman was revealed.
“Drunk? If only I were drunk. Do you know how much I want to be drunk?” muttered Brian. There was broken hoarseness in his cold voice.
“I don’t care who you think I am, you’d better let me go, or…”
“Or what?” He lowered his head, his face close to hers. The tips of their noses were almost touching.
His scent completely enveloped her, and the pungent smell of alcohol raised a sense of danger in Grace’s heart.
If it was the normal Brian, she might still be able to communicate with him. However, how could she communicate.
with a drunk person?
Grace frowned. “Please behave yourself, Mr. Hart.”
Her words caused a slight change in his expression. “Behave myself? I’ve been… Behaving myself too much…” That was why he had given up without even trying. “Why… Why aren’t you her?”
If she was that girl, then he could fight tooth and nail for her. He could fight tooth and nail against Jason and even do a lot more for her…
Not her? Grace did not know who Brian was referring to, but the moment Brian put his hand against her face, her hair stood up. She was having goosebumps.
A sense of danger pervaded her.
“If only I hadn’t let go of your hand. You carried me down the hill on your back today that year… You said you’ll protect me… And asked me not to be afraid…”
A cold, choking voice rang in the night wind. His eyes watered, and tears rolled down his cheeks.
Grace was dumbfounded, not expecting Brian to cry in front of her like that. This man who always gave people a sense of alienation and was aloof and noble felt strangely familiar to Grace right now.
The tears were…
Suddenly, as if there was a needle pricking in her mind, she felt a sudden pain…
“You know what? I miss you so much… I miss you…” he muttered as his face drew closer and closer, his lips almost touching hers.
Pow!
A clear slap rang in the darkness.
Grace panted slightly, the palm of her right hand had a burning pain-a sign of how hard she slapped him just now.
Brian’s face was slapped to one side. The air around him.
seemed to freeze.
There was silence.
After a long time, he slowly turned his head with his eyes fixed on her. Only now, his eyes were no longer blurry like just now.
They had become a lot clearer.
His fingers slowly loosened their hold on her, and without saying a word, he turned and staggered into a nearby car.
It was only then that Grace put her hand up against her head which was still throbbing.
Why did she have a headache when she saw Brian’s tears just now? It was as if she was triggered by something. A terrible feeling even welled up in her heart at that moment.
Why… Was she so upset? It was as if her body did not want to see him cry.
Even Grace could not explain why she felt this way.
Now, in another dark corner not far away, Evelyn gritted her teeth as she looked at Grace’s back with a fierce, malevolent. look.
Today, she had followed Brian to the town and watched him. stand like a fool in front of the hill for hours.
She almost stood with him until her legs ached to the point of collapse.
Later, Brian went to a restaurant in the town and had a drink. She had never seen him drink like this-one drink after another as if he intended on getting himself drunk.
She was secretly pleased, thinking that if he got drunk tonight, it might be an opportunity for her.
She could find an opportunity to approach him, and maybe something would happen.
However, unexpectedly, he came here to meet Grace next.
Just now… They almost kissed!
Why… Did he do this to Grace when he clearly did not know. that Grace was the little girl in his painting?
Grace already had Jason, but she was still trying to mess with.
her Brian!
If she really could not keep Brian one day, she would surely make Grace pay for it!
Evelyn swore in her heart with a twisted expression.
At night, Grace had her chin in her hands as she looked at
Jason who was working in the room.
He insisted on having her by his side when he was working. He euphemistically said that her presence made him feel less.
tired.
The reason immediately made her flustered. She did not know whether to cry or laugh.
However, it was also a feast for her eyes to look at him quietly. She had never thought that one day, the two of them would be able to get along in this way.
He was exceptionally focused when he was working, leafing through the documents while the pen in his hand was constantly moving while making notes.
She could see that he read quickly, and at the same time, he was occasionally giving follow-up orders to the top management at the other end of the computer.
Looking at Jason, Grace suddenly felt rueful. She used to hear people say that men were actually the most attractive when they were at work. It seemed to be true.
Everyone knew Jason as the king of the business world because he came from a wealthy and century-old family, but no one was born a king. Even if he had the Reed family as support, he could still be dethroned at any time if he did not work hard.
The Reed family’s current development and consolidation of his own position were all his hard work.
Grace’s gaze fell on Jason’s profile. From her point of view, she could see his straight nose bridge, clear facial outlines, S**y thin lips, and firm chin.
His eyelids were now half-drooped. He was looking at the papers before him while his long lashes formed a pretty shadow on his lower eyelids.
His eyes were extremely beautiful. When this pair of eyes. stared at her, they glistened like it was full of charm and flirtation. She could not help but want to see them again and again.
‘I like your eyes. The words flashed through her mind suddenly!
Grace was immediately stunned, and there seemed to be at dull ache in her head again. Had she said this to anyone?
