Brian ran in, panting. Under Kyla Corbyn and Grace’s surprised eyes, he grabbed Grace by the arm and asked urgently, “Are your marrying Jason?”

Grace was shocked. It had not been made public yet. She only mentioned it to Lina and Kyla.

“Yes,” she gave an affirmative answer.

“Why?”

“Because I love him and he loves me. Isn’t it a matter of course for us to get married?” She looked at him calmly and said, “Please let go, Mr. Hart!”

Fortunately, it was evening and almost closing time, so there were only a few customers in the shop. Otherwise, it might cause a stir again.

“You love him?” Brian felt like he was being stabbed in his heart with a sharp sword. The pain almost suffocated him. “You clearly said you’d like to be with me forever!”

Grace frowned. She looked at Brian with a puzzled expression. “I’ve never said anything like that.”

“You did say that! You said you thought you were dispensable and I said you weren’t. I told you you’re important to me, then you said. if only we could be together forever!” he answered.

He repeated what they had said to each other back then.

It was the first time he had ever said these words to another person. Before that, he had never felt that anyone was important. to him, not even his parents.

After hearing what he told her many years ago, she smiled. Her smile was so beautiful that it was engraved into his mind for years.

When she said that she hoped they could be together forever, his first thought was that his days would not be boring if he had her with him.

He wanted to see her smile every day.

At this current moment, Grace frowned even more.

‘Dispensable…’ There had been a time during her childhood when she felt that way.

It was when her father married her stepmother. After they had

Evelyn, he left her with her grandmother.

Although her grandmother was very kind to her, others saw her as a nuisance. Children were always sensitive to the looks from adults.

There were even moments when she wondered if it would be better if she had gone to heaven with her mother!

However, she did not remember telling Brian all this! Therefore, it was just a coincidence!

“As I said, you’ve mistaken me for someone else, Mr. Hart,” said

Grace.

“I’m not mistaking you for someone else! Grace, don’t marry Jason, all right? I don’t know why you won’t admit ever meeting me back then. Is it because of Jason? Or did you really forget? I’ve been looking for you for so many years. There hasn’t been a day since we parted that I didn’t miss you…” Brian insisted.

Then, he raised his hand to touch her face. He wanted to tell her how much he missed her and how much he regretted letting go of her hand in the hospital.

However, she immediately turned her face away, letting his hand fall.

“You’ve mistaken me for someone else, Mr. Hart. Besides, even if you didn’t mistake me for someone else, it makes no difference. The person I love is Jason, and he’s also the person I want to marry. I won’t have any feelings for you,” said Grace.

Her words made his blood freeze instantly. His whole body stiffened.

Grace took the opportunity to pull her arm out from between his fingers. “I hope you won’t come to me for this again in the future. It doesn’t make any difference whether I’m her.”

With that, Grace turned to look at Kyla Corbyn and said, “I’m going to go home, Kyla.”

“Sure,” answered Kyla Corbyn.

Grace had walked out of the small restaurant, but Brian still stood there while staring blankly at his empty hand.

Empty, empty!

‘It doesn’t make any difference whether she’s her?

“Why is that? Why?’ Brian slowly gathered his hands and held them tightly, letting his fingernails prick deeply into his palms.

Kyla Corbyn looked at Brian with some shock on her face.

The expression on the entertainment industry’s crown prince’s face was so sad that he seemed to be enveloped in hopeless loneliness.

It was like he had lost his most important treasure. He seemed to be mourning!

“You know what? I’ve always felt as if I’m dispensable. Even if one day I don’t exist in this world, it wouldn’t matter.”

“No… At least I don’t think you’re dispensable. I… Probably wouldn’t have gotten away without you, so you’re very important… Very important to me… I can think of you as someone important to me from now on.”

“You’re the first person besides Mom to say I’m important. How nice. If only we could be together forever.”

“Sure, I can be with you forever.”

“Who is it? Who’s saying these words?’ Why did it seem as if there were layers of mist enveloping her?

All she could see were two tiny figures.

‘Who the hell is it?’ She tried to make out the two figures, but the more she tried, the more her head seemed to ache.

“Ah!” With a cry of surprise, Grace sprang out of bed and sat up. What she saw was darkness.

Then, a voice by her side rang. “What’s the matter? Did you have a nightmare?”

The next moment, the lights in the room were switched on.

Grace turned her head, a little shocked. She looked at the bright, amorous eyes of the person beside her. His gaze was now filled with concern.

‘It’s Jay!’

“You look so pale. Did you have a bad dream?” His fingers slowly. went up to her cheek, and the familiar temperature made her feel a little more comfortable.

“No,” she replied as she shook her head. ‘At least it wasn’t a nightmare, just…’ She lowered her eyes slightly as a strange. feeling came over her.

‘What’s going on here?’ What the childish voice said in her dream. just now was so similar to what Brian said to her in the small restaurant this evening.

‘Is it because I heard those words that I’m having such a dream.

now?’

Grace could not help but frown at the thought of this and felt her head hurt again.

“Why? Are you not feeling well?” Jason’s voice rang in Grace’s ear.

“No, just a small headache,” she answered.

He raised his hand. The tips of his warm fingers gently pressed against her forehead and temples, ma**aging her.

The strength of his fingers was just right and the rubbing made her feel better.

“Feel better?” he asked.

“Yes, better,” she answered as she nodded.

“Why don’t I take you to the hospital tomorrow to have a check-up and see what’s causing the headache?” asked Jason.

“No thanks. My headache is probably due to the dream I had. I think it’s because of what Brian said,” answered Grace.

Jason’s hands immediately stopped what they were doing. “What did you just say? What Brian said?”

“He came to the restaurant today. He probably still thinks of me as the person he has been looking for and said some strange things. Then… I had a dream just now. I dreamt of two children and they seemed to be saying the same thing Brian said to me today.” Grace explained.

Jason’s expression sank. “What exactly was your dream about?”

Grace then told him about the scene she saw in her dream. “It’s probably influenced by what Brian said. That’s why I had this dream. Brian told me I said that to him, but I have no memory of it.”

‘That’s because… She forgot!” Jason said to himself. It was because she had a high fever and forgot all about the day she disappeared.

The reason why he knew this was he had sent someone to investigate this matter when he came to the realization that she might be the person Brian was looking for. After a long search, he found out from the hospital records that she was hospitalized back then.

In the hospital records, he learned that she had lost her memories of that day.

A day’s worth of memories was nothing to others. It was just that she could not explain why she had disappeared that day.

After all, she was all right, so the adults did not pursue it.

For some people, they only lost a day’s worth of memories. For others, it was 20 years of searching.

If she had not lost her memories from that day, she would have remembered Brian. Maybe… Brian would have already found her and they might even be together now.

As such, he was thankful that she had forgotten about that day. Her medical records and her hospital records had all been tampered with already.

Even if Brian looked into it, what he would find was only what he would like to show him.

“In that case, you must stop thinking about him. Let me rub your head a little more,” Jason spoke in a soft voice.
