When she appeared in front of him in a floral dress that day, he seemed to see the little girl from when he was little.
If she was not her, how could she give him that misconception. over and over again?
No woman had ever given him this misconception before.
At the same time, he felt a pang of regret. He should not have given in to Jason again and again.
He should have held her tight from the beginning!
“Hey, why are you drinking alone?” Patrick’s voice suddenly rang in Brian’s ear. “You rarely come here. Isn’t it boring to drink alone?“
‘Boring?’
Brian turned the gla** in his hand and glanced at the people around him.
The only reason he agreed to attend Patrick’s party today was simply that he had been so stressed these days, he wanted to take a breather.
However, after he came, he found that it was still the same.
All he could think about was Grace, and he could not get her out of his head at all.
“By the way, I heard that you and Jason seemed to have some conflict earlier. What happened?” asked Patrick.
Brian looked at his old friend with a half-smile. “You’re well-informed.”
Patrick was stunned. “Really?” He had heard the news through the grapevine, but it turned out to be true. “How did you get into.
trouble with Jason?”
They had known each other since little. Patrick believed that in their social circle, the two least likely to fall out were Jason and
Brian.
The two men were too rational and weighed the pros and cons of everything. Jason was indifferent to everything-Of course, that was before he met Grace. Patrick found out at the last banquet that Jason cared about a woman.
As for Brian, in Patrick’s opinion, the fellow always had an aloof attitude toward people. The only thing Brian cared about was the owner of the bracelet.
Even among their social circle, they were betting how long Brian.
would take to find the owner of the bracelet.
“You want to know?” Brian asked.
“Is it a business conflict between the Hart familyHart family and the Reed family?” Patrick asked after some thought.
Brian was so lazy that he made no answer.
“Surely you’re not fighting over a woman,” mumbled Patrick.
“What if we are?” answered Brian.
Patrick looked shocked. “You… You and Jason…” Well… If they were really fighting over a woman, then was it… Grace?
Patrick was immediately stressed out.
He did not find Grace very attractive. Besides, she had been to prison. Why did both of them…
“Aren’t you looking for the owner of the bracelet? Why argue with Jason about a woman? Besides, it looks like Jason is going to marry Grace, so don’t…”
Patrick was not done talking, but Brian suddenly rose from his chair. His expression was not at all casual and relaxed like before, but anxious. “What did you say? Marry?”
“Yes… Yes, I… I heard that Jason bought the Frozen Heart diamond to make a wedding ring.”
When Patrick finished talking, Brian dashed toward the exit.
Patrick stared at Brian’s back, feeling a little overwhelmed.
‘What’s going on here?’ It was the first time that he saw Brian showing such an anxious and nervous expression because of a woman, and… He even rushed out impulsively!
‘What kind of woman is Grace?’
He thought it was just a silly conflict, even if it was over a woman.
However, now… His heart was filled with a vague worry. If these two were really fighting over a woman… Emerald City would. probably suffer from the sky falling and the earth opening up!
‘Wait a minute! Hasn’t Brian always just been concerned about.
the owner of the silver bracelet?
‘Unless…’ Patrick was suddenly a little afraid to think about it.
The consequences of that a**umption ignited the fear in his heart!
Brian drove to the small restaurant.
‘Marry? Is she going to marry Jason?’
Even before he found out the truth… No, no, he would never allow her to marry Jason!
He had searched for her for years. He had engraved her voice.
and her face in his mind, bones, and blood. How could this be the result?
Brian’s hands gripped the steering wheel tightly as he sped up…
On the other hand, in the small restaurant, Grace shyly mentioned. to Kyla Corbyn that she was going to quit her job after a while.
After all, if they were to get married, there were many things to prepare before the wedding. Besides, once she became Mrs.
Reed, she would not only be representing herself, but also the
Reed family. It was no longer suitable for her to continue working here.
“I’m sorry, Kyla. I didn’t expect to quit so soon, but I’ll wait until you have a suitable replacement for my position before resigning,”
said Grace.
Kyla Corbyn was not surprised. After learning that Grace’s boyfriend was Jason, she knew that she would not be working in her small restaurant for long.
She was just surprised that Grace was getting married to Jason so soon.
“You can come to visit when you’re free. Nelson likes you very much. I’ll find your replacement as soon as I can. Don’t worry about it. You can always ask me for leave if anything comes up.
After all, getting married is a big deal,” Kyla Corbyn said with some emotion.
Who would have thought that the employee she recruited out of sympathy would marry Jason, a man who was so superior in
Emerald City?
“I like Nelson too. I’ll visit you and Nelson often in the future. You, Mrs. Corbyn, and Nelson must come to my wedding,” said Grace.
She did not have many friends. There were only a few people she could invite to the wedding.
However, Kyla Corbyn looked awkward when Grace said this.
After a moment’s hesitation, Kyla Corbyn said, “I’m afraid I can’t attend your wedding. There’s going to be a lot of people, and…. You know about me and Martin Weiss. I’m worried that some of the people who’ll be attending the wedding banquet are people I’ve met before, then perhaps Martin Weiss will find out.”
Grace heard this and instantly understood Kyla Corbyn’s misgivings.
“Are you going to keep hiding, Kyla?” asked Grace.
Kyla Corbyn gave a wry smile. “What else can I do? Nelson is his child. Although he never wanted this child… I’m afraid that if he finds out about Nelson and insists on taking him away, the odds are against me.”
However, she could not take a chance. She could not afford to lose Nelson. Nelson had become the motivation for her to live!
Grace knew that she had no way of getting in on this, so she could only say, “You can always let me know if you need my help.”
“Thank you!” Kyla Corbyn said with a smile, “In fact, you’ve helped me a lot. If it weren’t for you, Nelson might not be able to…”
Just then, a figure suddenly broke into the restaurant, interrupting Kyla Corbyn.
