With a tremble, Grace raised her hand and leaned closer to Brian’s face while she mumbled the word… ‘Bryn’

Just then, the word seemed to pull him back to his senses.

The woman’s face was pale, and there was something painful in her eyes. Her hand was touching his cheek while she was calling out the name he had warned her never to say again.

Brian suddenly grabbed Grace’s hand.

“Ah!” She let out a cry of pain before immediately realizing that her hand was touching his face.

“I… I’m sorry!” She apologized quickly. The pain in her wrist was easing her headache.

“Why’d you touch me? Why’d you call me by that name? Grace, do you really have no feelings for me at all?” His eyes were fixed on her.

Her face paled and reddened. “You… You’ve misunderstood!”

“Misunderstood?” He chuckled suddenly.”Then tell me what kind of misunderstanding will make you call me by my nickname again. and again, and even touch my face with your hand.”

She bit her lower lip. For a moment, she did not know what to say, so she could only say, “It’s not what you think. I won’t do it again. I had a headache, and I mistook you for someone else.”

“Mistook me? Was calling me by the name ‘Bryn’ a mistake too?” he murmured.

“You’re not the only one in the world called ‘Bryn’,” she retorted.

Just then, Lina Sweeney was already in the vicinity. Seeing her, Grace said to Brian, “My friend’s here. Let go of me. I need to get off.”

Brian listened, but his dark phoenix eyes kept staring at Gra

The atmosphere in the car seemed to be stretched to the limit.

Suddenly, Brian released his fingers and Grace immediately opened the door, stepping out of the car. Then, she said to her friend who was looking for her not far away, “Lina, I’m here!”

Lina Sweeney heard her and looked over. Then, she jogged toward Grace. When she was about to reach Grace’s side, a luxury car behind Grace pulled away. Lina Sweeney suddenly thought that the person in the driver’s seat… Looked a lot like

Brian!

“Grace, was that… Brian in the car behind you?” Lina Sweeney asked with a surprised look.

“Yes.” Grace did not hide it from her.

“You… How were you with Brian…? Why’d you suddenly walk out of the bookstore?” Lina Sweeney had only gone to the magazine section for a while and did not even go through half of the magazine when so many things happened. She struggled to keep up with the events.

Grace then told Lina Sweeney what happened earlier. Upon hearing this, Lina Sweeney immediately called the man who chased after her best friend to film her shameless. Then, she said,

“Why didn’t you come to me? If I was there, I would’ve kicked that guy!”

“If I went to find you, I wouldn’t be the only one being filmed.

by the people around me. Do you want to be searched on the internet later?” said Grace.

“If you hadn’t encountered Brian this time, you would’ve…”

“Of course, I would’ve thought of other ways. Alright, let’s not talk about it.” Grace dragged her best friend to a nearby dessert shop.

After ordering two desserts, Grace changed the topic and said, “By the way, if you dream a lot and it feels like you’re dreaming about something from your childhood but you have no memory of it ever happening, could it be that you’ve heard someone else. talk about it, so you dreamt about it? It’d be easy to mistake those dreams for something that had happened to you in real life, right?”

Lina Sweeney was almost dizzy when she heard this. ‘What’s all this?’ It took awhile for her to sort things out.

“I don’t think I’ve heard of instances like this. Maybe it really happened but you’ve just forgotten about it? Isn’t it often portrayed on TV?” said Lina Sweeney.

“You mean amnesia?” Grace was stunned.

“Yes, partial amnesia. It’s often mentioned in novels and TV shows. You can try hypnosis. Maybe you’ll remember, but it’s better to consult a professional doctor!” said Lina Sweeney.

‘Hypnosis…’ Grace showed traces of consideration in her almond eyes.

She wanted to know what the dream was all about!

Jason looked at the photos on his phone. They were all photos of

Brian pulling Grace into a car.

Although they had just been posted online, it was already a hot topic.

Many were even speculating about the relationship between Grace and Brian.

Terrence looked fearfully at his boss who was staring darkly at the phone in his hand. Then, he finally mustered the courage to say lamely, “Well… Mr. Hart had appeared too quickly. The bodyguards who were in charge of secretly protecting Miss Cummins didn’t even have the chance to…”

His bright eyes just stared at the photo on the phone while his fingers tightened.

“Get rid of these. I don’t want to see them online anymore,” Jason ordered coldly after a while.

“Yes,” Terrence hastily replied and got out of the president’s office.

In the quiet room, Jason’s finger gently caressed Grace’s figure on the phone screen. Finally, it landed on the spot where Brian was holding Grace’s wrist.

Brian was leading her forward. The scene looked like a painting he had seen before.

He still remembered that when he was a child, he accidentally entered Brian’s studio and saw the paintings Brian painted. Those paintings all consisted of a little girl and a little boy.

There was one where the little girl walked with the little boy in the dense forest, leading him by the hand. There was also one where she carried him on her back. These paintings were like Brian’s treasures. He would not even allow a second look.

However, in the painting, the little girl was holding the little boy’s hand as they walked forward. In this photo, Brian walked forward while holding Grace’s hand.

It was like history repeating itself.

‘Or is the bond between these two really inextricable?… Even if they’ve missed each other again and again? Even if they don’t know about it? Would fate still bring the two of them together?

‘No! By hook or by crook, I will never let that happen.

‘Grace can only be mine and will only be mine!”

Jason’s eyes flickered with ruthlessness and determination!

When Grace returned to Reed Residence, she almost jumped out of her skin as soon as she walked into her bedroom and switched on the lights.

Jason was sitting on the couch in her bedroom, looking at her with those beautiful eyes.

“Why didn’t you switch on the lights?” The bedroom curtains were drawn now, so the room was dark.

“I was thinking about something.” Jason smiled, stood up, and walked slowly over to Grace. He took the two law books she was holding from her hand and asked, “Did you buy them today?”

“Yes. I’m going to brush up on my knowledge and also learn about the latest laws and case studies,” said Grace. In particular, local laws would change almost every year, so even lawyers needed to constantly absorb the latest content.

“Are these all you bought today?” Jason’s voice became even softer.

“Something happened when I was buying the books in the bookstore. Then, I met Brian,” Grace said without hiding anything

After all, she did not want someone else to tell him and cause him.

to misunderstand.

His eyes rested on her face. “Then what?”

“People were filming me with their phones and there were a lot of people looking on. Brian helped me by taking me away in his car. He stopped the car a few hundred meters away from the bookstore, and I got out to meet Lina.”
