“Nothing.” Grace wiped her tears, trying to calm herself down before Mason could know that something was wrong. Then, she calmly asked him, “What’s up?”
“Couldn’t I just be calling to say hello? Have you eaten anything? Are you hungry now?” Mason could charm very easily. His tone was so kind and natural as if he was talking with his familiar lover.
“I’m not hungry,” she said. She was so sad that she couldn’t stand the idea of eating and talking with him. This man was so dangerous and always played a trick on her, why did she still expect anything good from him? Calmly, she said, “If there is nothing you want to say, then I’ll hang up. I have something to do now.”
“It’s so late now. What do you want to do? Where are you? The entrance to the pedestrian street? Wait for me. I’ll go there right now.” commanded Mason.
Grace tried to hold back her tears and said, “Fine, have it your way,” and hung up the phone.
However, she didn’t wait for him because she had decided not to wait for him any longer foolishly. Walking along aimlessly, she didn’t know where to go, and she only wanted to try and forget all of the heartbreaking realizations she’d had.
As expected, she couldn’t build a genuine romantic relationship with a man. She had failed in love twice before. Her first boyfriend told her that he had fallen in love with another woman, so they broke up. Grace then discovered that her second boyfriend was having an affair with another woman, so she broke up with him almost immediately afterward. After that, she had been single for several years. Until she became Mason’s secretary and was attracted to him, she wasn’t sure if she could fall in love with another man.
As for Mason, though, she really loved him. She was naive in her first relationship and disappointed by her second one. Therefore, she didn’t cherish those two loves because, at the time, there were so many trivial things that seemed to govern them. This time, however, she was determined to get along well with Mason and had even considered marrying him and having a child.
Unfortunately, Mason was a playboy. Even if he was affectionate, it was impossible for him to fall in love with her. Maybe the reason why he was with her was for some unknown purpose.
Grace began to question herself. Did she still wish to be the owner of Mason’ heart? She laughed at herself, suddenly smiled, and cried again.
Noticing the gaze of passers-by, she lowered her head, wiped her tears, and left quickly.
Just after turning the corner, she felt someone grab her by the wrist. Turning around, Grace found that the person who’d stopped her was Mason. He appeared to be anxious, and his eyes gave away a sense of anger. “Didn’t I tell you to wait for me at the entrance?” Mason said sharply, “Why are you leaving alone?” After pausing for a while, he realized that Grace was crying, so he softened his voice, “What’s wrong? Why are you crying? What’s the matter with you?”
Grace shook her head, “Nothing.” She didn’t want to say anything. Although inside, she felt terrible, she still didn’t want to let him know.
Holding her shoulder, Mason stared at her for a while and asked gently, “What happened? Tell me, I can help you. I can protect you if you’re in trouble.”
Grace wiped her tears and said helplessly, “You couldn’t help me solve this, Mason. If you were able to solve it, I wouldn’t be feeling like this at all.”
“What?”
Grace paused, trying to think of an excuse, “Nothing. You can’t help me.” She sighed silently, “It’s your sister.”
“What else can you tell me? I can’t help you if you don’t tell me anything. Why are you so sure that I can’t help you?”
After thinking for a moment, Grace finally argued, “Even if I tell you, are you sure you can help me?”
Mason looked at her, shocked. Assertively, Grace said, “Don’t ask me any more questions; give me some space.”
Finally, Mason stopped questioning her. They walked along the road. After what felt like a very long time, Mason said, “Grace, why don’t you trust me? Sometimes, even when I’m with you, I still feel that I can’t get close to you.”
Grace looked at him and answered, “It is not because I don’t believe anything you say, I just want to protect myself. I have been hurt before Mason. If I can’t be sure that you love me, how can I possibly trust you with all my heart? Besides, Mason, you don’t exactly treat me sincerely!”
“Why are you so angry today?” Mason retorted.
“Well, can you honestly tell me whether there is another woman in your life?” Grace stared at Mason.
Her words made Mason laugh. He didn’t know why she’d asked this, “Why are you saying this? Do you think I’m cheating on you? I told you, I haven’t been with another woman since we started dating. Why don’t you believe me?”
“Whether I believe you or not is not important. I have no way of knowing whether what you say is true.”
What’s the matter with you today? Are you trying to anger me on purpose?” Mason looked into Grace’s eyes.
Grace stared back at him silently, and then asked, “Mason, do you have a sister?”
“What?”
