Not even Jason himself knew he would fall back asleep so soon.
Hearing the sound of his even breathing, Grace stopped and called out softly, “Jay?”
He had fallen asleep and did not answer her.
She breathed a sigh of relief. He was asleep, and his brows did not furrow as before. In his sleep, he looked just like an angel-So pure and serene.
It was completely different from the way he looked in front of people.
Perhaps, he was an angel only to her.
As for the dream of the little boy and the little girl, she did not want to tell him until she got to the bottom of it, or she would raise his suspicions.
She wanted to know whether she had that dream because she once heard her cousin talk about it as a child, so she put herself in those shoes and dreamed about it, or… Was it because of another reason?
Stella Lindsay soon made the tabloids after she appeared beside Brian.
Of course, with Brian’s protection, no media dug deep into Stella Lindsay’s background. Even if they did, they dared not report it.
Many people were wondering if she was Brian’s new girlfriend.
Of course, there were a lot of people who did not think so. Firstly, Brian did not acknowledge her identity but just called her a friend. Secondly, she looked far worse than his previous girlfriends.
Although she looked alright after dressing up, that was thanks to the skills of the makeup artist!
Therefore, there were all kinds of a**umptions being made.
Stella Lindsay might be anxious and hoped to become Brian’s girlfriend, but after all, she just got divorced. She could not behave too obviously for fear of undermining her reputation in
Brian’s heart.
Therefore, when she was having dinner with Brian, she pretended to say casually, “By the way, have you been watching the news these days? A lot of people are wondering if I’m your girlfriend.”
“Sorry for causing you trouble. I’ll make it clear to the reporters later,” said Brian.
“No, it’s not troublesome. I’m single anyway, and I don’t have anyone pursuing me, so it doesn’t matter. It’s just…” Stella Lindsay said immediately.
She slightly bit her lower lip and said with some hesitation, “I read on the internet that you’ve had several girlfriends over the years, but you were only looking for substitutes. They also said… What if I’m a substitute too? What does that mean?”
Brian was stunned and stared at the face in front of him.
However, his eyes seemed to be looking at another person even though he was currently facing the one before him. ‘Substitute…
Who was the substitute?’
Once, he imagined what the little girl would look like when she grew up. The women he found more or less had traces of the figure he imagined.
After seeing Grace, he felt as if he had seen the little girl.
However, Grace was not the one he had been looking for. It was this woman, Stella Lindsay, who saved his life.
He had also seen photographs of Stella Lindsay growing up, and indeed, when she was eight or nine years old, she looked exactly like the little girl he remembered.
However, the adult Stella Lindsay did not look like what he thought she would look like when she grew up. She looked somewhat similar to Grace, with similar eyebrows, eyes, and jaws, but when they were together, you could not mistake them.
Their auras were quite different.
“Brian?” Stella Lindsay’s voice rang, interrupting Brian’s trance.
Brian immediately came back to his senses. “You’re not al substitute.”
“Well… Have you really been looking for a substitute? Or is it only something the tabloids made up?” asked Stella Lindsay as she pretended to be naive, acting like she was simply curious.
However, could Brian, who was familiar with all types of people in the entertainment industry, not see through Stella Lindsay?
It turned out that time could change everything. He could not help. but laugh at himself. He had longed for her for so long. However, now that he had truly found her, he was disappointed in a way that he could not even describe.
Could time change the little girl, who was filled with a sense of justice at the time and who held his hand tightly without letting go in such a dangerous situation, turning her into this woman who was obsessed with money and status?
However, the information he found, the photo of Stella Lindsay, and the fact that Stella Lindsay still remembered what happened that year, forced him to accept the reality.
Perhaps he had been too persistent and longed too much, so now his heart was like a pool of stagnant water. He did not even know what he wanted for the rest of his life!
“All right. Here are your college admission materials. You can go through the relevant procedures tomorrow,” said Brian.
“Oh, all right.” Stella Lindsay took over the materials but clung to the unheard answer, so she asked again, “Is the substitute thing real?”
Brian pressed his thin lips together slightly, and his dark phoenix. eyes settled again on Stella Lindsay’s face.
Stella Lindsay’s heart was suddenly filled with guilt.
“You’re my savior, Stella. Therefore, I’ll help you if you need.
anything, but some lines shouldn’t be crossed. I wish your wouldn’t cross them,” Brian said lightly. The indifference and estrangement in his eyes surprised Stella Lindsay.
It was only now that it struck her that even if she had succeeded as an impostor, the man in front of her was not just any man.
He was the crown prince who ruled the entertainment industry!
His eyes seemed to see her through. His words were more like a warning to her not to get too carried away and cross the line between them.
The reason he was willing to sit and talk to her and do all these things for her was only because he thought she was his savior.
If one day he found out she lied to him… Stella Lindsay suddenly dared not think about it anymore.
Perhaps when that happened, she would end up miserably.
Stella Lindsay’s heart trembled, but now that she had embarked on this path, there was no turning back.
She would hold on to Brian no matter what. As long as Brian did not know the truth, he would be her biggest backup!
Jason took Grace to the detention center where they met Dexter Rios.
He was a middle-aged man in his 40s with a slightly chubby figure and an unfamiliar face. He was just a stranger to her.
However, this stranger had done her such a disservice!
‘Without this person, I wouldn’t have gone to prison for three years. I wouldn’t have had to suffer so much. I’d still be a promising female lawyer, doing what I wanted to do for the rest of my life!’
At first, Grace thought she would not be able to see Dexter Rios before the court hearing. After all, he had already fled abroad.
However, she did not expect to see this man in the detention.
center so soon.
Fear appeared on the man’s face when he caught sight of Jason.
and Grace.
Then, the man stood up and with a thump, he kneeled in front of Grace. “Miss Cummins, I’m sorry. I’m sorry I did you wrong. I did. you wrong! I’m willing to accept the punishment of the law. Please, forgive me!”
Grace stared blankly at the man kneeling in front of her.
This strange man was so cruel to let her bear the crime and changed her life for the worse before this, but now, he kneeled so easily in front of her.
