Stella did not expect Brian to teach her how to play pool in person and became even more excited at that moment.
However, Grace was standing next to her now. As such, she also wanted to show her sisterly affection in front of Brian.
“Brian, Grace is also here today. Why don’t-”
“Of course, she’s here for her own reasons. Are you going to say hello to her?” Brian said casually.
“I…” Stella hesitated. Of course she did not want to say hello to Grace. She also did not want Brian to say hello to her.
“Young Master Gu, can we start?” Curtis
Row’s voice rang.
“Sure,” said Brian. Then, he asked Stella to stand near the edge of the pool table.
Stella also started playing pool, but Grace standing by the side made her uneasy as well as nervous.
However, Brian’s dismissive attitude toward Grace allayed Stella’s fears.
It seemed that Brian was no longer interested in Grace, and if she continued to remind Brian of his gratitude and childhood memories, she would eventually make Brian fall in love with her. He would no longer treat her as just his savior.
Stella deliberately went closer to Brian when she played, creating an ambiguous atmosphere. Then, she said, “Brian, you said you’d show me the world and let me try everything delicious and interesting when we were little. I never thought it would happen one day.”
With a flutter of his eyelashes, Brian looked at Stella’s face that was covered with heavy makeup and said lightly, “I’m glad you like it.”
“I like it very much. I didn’t expect playing pool to be so interesting,” Stella said with a smile.
On the other hand, Curtis Row was busy sucking up to Brian and Stella. He was saying that Brian was a good coach and
Stella was talented.
They seemed to have forgotten about
Grace who was standing nearby.
Listening to what Stella had just said, Grace only found that her cousin was good at acting. She had never thought that her cousin could lie so well.
Brian probably already believed that her cousin was the little girl from his childhood.
Even if she did tell Brian the truth, he would probably take it as a joke.
The pain in her knees seemed to be getting more and more serious.
Grace frowned slightly with her lips pressed tightly. She was trying to ignore the pain in her knees and hold on.
Now, she could only wait until they had finished the round before getting Curtis
Row to sign the document.
With her head lowered slightly, Grace did not notice that someone was glancing at her out of the corner of their phoenix eyes.
Brian knew that he should not care about Grace. They had made it clear to each other on the mountain that day.
She was not the one he was looking for, and everything in the past was just an illusion. The one he was looking for was
Lifang, and the one he wanted to repay was also Lifang.
Besides, the person in Grace’s heart was
Jason.
‘However, why… is she here being bullied by someone like Curtis Row? She’s standing for so long just to get Curtis Row’s signature?
‘What’s going on here? Where’s Jason?
Isn’t he extremely protective of Grace?
But he just left her here to suffer?’
Doubt flashed through Brian’s mind. He watched as Grace’s delicate face looked even paler under the light. A thin layer of sweat had already broken out on her forehead, and her lips were pressed together in a straight line as if she was suppressing something.
Brian could not help frowning. ‘What’s going on with her? Is she feeling unwell?
However, he told himself the next moment, ‘Don’t think about it. Whatever’s going on with her is Jason’s business, not mine!’
“Brian, how do I hit this ball?” Stella’s deliberately softened voice rang in his ears.
Brian glanced at Stella who was beside him and said, “I’ll teach you.”
Grace did not know how long she had been on her feet. The pain in her knees was getting worse and worse. She was using every bit of her willpower to suppress the pain.
‘No one… will help me. Jason won’t help me, and neither will Brian!’
She remembered Brian saying to her when they parted on the hill. ‘Grace, once I put you down, I’ll be indifferent to whatever happens to you from now on.
‘Yeah. He said that, so he’s doing it now!’
After all, she was not the little girl who had saved him when he was a child. She was just a stranger to him.
Finally, when Curtis Row finished the first round with Brian, Grace almost stumbled forward to say, “Mr. Yu, can I have your signature? We need to use this document tomorrow.”
“Who told you to come over?” Curtis Row had just finished one round and not even talked to Brian when he was disturbed by Grace. He immediately raised his hand and waved Grace away angrily.
Grace stumbled as her knees went weak.
She was about to fall over.
The next moment, an arm grabbed her waist and prevented her from falling.
“What’s wrong with your leg?” Brian asked coldly. He saw her limping over earlier.
“It’s an old problem,” said Grace before she thanked him for his help.
He pressed his thin lips together and withdrew his hand while his gaze fell on her legs. ‘Old problem. Does she have

He pressed his thin lips together and withdrew his hand while his gaze fell on her legs. ‘Old problem. Does she have such old problems?’
“Grace, are you okay?” Stella was quick to show her sisterly affection. “If your legs are uncomfortable, you can sit down and have a rest.”
Grace glanced coldly at her cousin. If her cousin really cared about her, she would not have looked on coldly while happily playing pool as she stood there.
Curtis Row was stunned and said with an unnatural expression on his face, “You know… each other?”
“Yeah, Grace’s my cousin,” Stella said with a smile.
Curtis Row’s expression suddenly became more unnatural. Then, he turned to Grace and said, “Hey, why didn’t you tell me earlier? If you had told me, would’ve signed it already.”
“Can you sign it now?” said Grace as she handed the document to Curtis Row.
“Sure, sure!” Curtis Row replied quickly. Then, he took the document and signed
Grace took the document back, turned around, and was about to limp away.
However, she had only taken a few steps when a hand grabbed her arm.
