Kyla Corbyn smiled. “Alright, got it. How about you? How are you lately? That
Uncle Harper Nelson mentioned, you and him…”
“We’re only friends. Maybe we’re not even friends. He’s just a former colleague at the Sanitation Service Center.” Grace interrupted Kyla Corbyn.
“That man probably likes you.”
Otherwise, how could he have the patience to accompany them to the amusement park?
“Kyla, I don’t want to think about romance anymore. It’s too much of a luxury for me,” said Grace.
It was too much of a luxury that she dared not expect to find someone and be with them forever.
After experiencing all this, what was once a girlish romance had been shattered by reality.
Hearing this, Kyla Corbyn said nothing more.
After all, love was also a luxury for her.
Sometimes, it was easy to persuade people, but it was difficult when it came to yourself!
Stella came to Brian’s mansion to find him.
When she walked into Brian’s bedroom, she did not see Brian but a purple dress on his bed. The skirt of the dress was lined with tiny flowers made of crushed diamonds and lace, which looked very beautiful. It gave off a feminine and romantic feeling.
Stella might not be a girl anymore, but she had a love for beautiful things.
She could not help but pick up the dress to see how it would look like on her in front of the mirror next to the wardrobe.
‘Is it… a dress that Brian wants to give me? Is it a surprise?
‘This dress looks like it’s worth a lot of money. If I put it on, it’d probably raise my social cla**. Won’t I be like one of those socialites in the city?’
Looking in the mirror, Stella no longer saw herself as the blacksmith’s wife from
romantic feeling.

Looking in the mirror, Stella no longer saw herself as the blacksmith’s wife from a small town who was bullied by her husband but as a socialite in Emerald
Just then, the bathroom door behind her opened and Brian stepped out, his hair slightly damp.
When his phoenix eyes saw the dress in Stella’s hands, his expression immediately changed. “What are you doing with the dress? Put it down!”
His voice was so cold that Stella was startled.
“Weren’t… Weren’t you going to give me this dress?”
As soon as she said this, Brian’s expression changed again. ‘Yes, but no.!’
He had planned to give it to the little girl who saved him when he found her because he once promised her that he would give her a purple dress with tiny flowers.
However, he was unable to link Lifang with the girl from his childhood when he finally found her.
The person he yearned for felt so x unfamiliar when she appeared in front of him.
“If you want a dress, I’ll give you another one later,” he said as he took the dress back from her hands.
Stella’s expression immediately froze, but then she said with feigned nonchalance, “Alright. Thank you, Brian.
By the way, I took some money out of the card you gave me today. It doesn’t matter, does it?”
“Since I gave it to you, you can use it whenever you want,” Brian said lightly
“I didn’t use it. I planned to give the money to Grace since she has broken up with Jason, so she might not be doing as well financially. However…” Stella bit her lip as if she was wronged. “These tens of thousands of dollars are probably nothing to her. She won’t accept it.”
“Really?” Brian stared at Stella, making her feel guilty.
“Yes, I think so. What kind of life did
Grace lead when she was with Jason? Besides, she once suffered in prison. It’s natural even if she’s a little vain now. I just don’t know if she would deliberately find excuses to get close to rich men to live a better life. I’m really afraid she’ll be cheated!”
Stella continued to make these slanderous remarks. She intended to make Brian think that Grace was a vain woman. Therefore, if Grace did tell Brian something, she could make Brian think that Grace made up a lie to get close to him after breaking up with Jason as she did not want to live a hard life.
This was Stella’s plan.
She did not want Brian to believe Grace.
However, as she spoke, she realized that
Brian was not even listening. His phoenix. eyes were now looking at the purple dress he had just taken back.
‘The purple dress… Brian probably prepared this dress for Grace!’
Stella’s eyes flashed with envy! ‘It feels as if Grace would snatch Brian away at any moment. Even if… Grace doesn’t tell him the truth, Brian may accept Grace anyway!
‘No, I must not let this happen!’
Over the weekend, Lina came looking for Grace. “Are you free today?”
“I guess so,” said Grace.
“Well, what about going somewhere to relax? I’ll take you to a nice place later,” Lina said mysteriously.
“A nice place?” Grace raised her eyebrows. “Don’t you have to accompany Hadwin Stephenson today?”
“We’re going to a nice place. Hadwin Stephenson doesn’t fit in there,” said
“What kind of place is it?” Grace’s curiosity was aroused by what she said.
“Well, you’ll see.” Lina covered her mouth and smiled.
Grace immediately felt that her best friend’s smile looked like the brothel madams’ in movies and TV dramas.
Then, Grace was speechless when Lina took her to the ‘nice place’. It was an underground bar, and many of those who came here were 17 or 18-year-old high school students or some in their early 20s.
They looked a bit out of place standing there due to the difference in their ages.
“What’s so good about it?” Grace wondered.
“You’ll find out in a minute!” Lina blinked.
Then, at eight o’clock, the atmosphere suddenly picked up and five men took the stage in front of the bar.
It was just a band singing. Grace did not see anything special about it.
However, Lina’s eyes lit up. “Here. Here. They’re here!”

“Did you bring me nere today to see them?” asked Grace.
“Yes. They’re pretty popular in the niche lately. The five of them are all good-looking and in good shape. Plus, they can dance really well!” Lina got more and more excited as she spoke.
She wished she could introduce the five men to her best friend.
Grace knew that Lina would get excited when she was talking about handsome men. “Aren’t you dating Hadwin Stephenson? Aren’t you afraid that he’ll find out?”
“Of course, I came here without his knowledge!” said Lina. Then, she put on an expression like she was obsessed with these men’s beauty. “Besides, I’m just appreciating these men. The one I truly like is Hadwin Stephenson!”
Grace was shocked. “You like Hadwin
Stephenson?”
“Huh?” Lina realized that she had let it slip. Then, while feeling a little embarra**ed, she said, “Well… I didn’t tell you before, but Hadwin Stephenson and I… Um… We’re in a real relationship now. It’s not the pretend dating and revenge I used to talk about.”
She wanted to wait a while and find the right opportunity to tell Grace. After all, Grace and Jason just broke up not long ago.
Grace looked at the guilt on her best friend’s face and suddenly understood Lina’s hesitation. She smiled and patted her on the shoulder before saying, “This is a good thing. You should be happy that you and Hadwin Stephenson are together now. Why didn’t you tell me? Is it because Jason and I broke up?”
Lina did not say anything, but the look on her face said it all.
“Lina, if you think I’ll feel disappointed or unhappy because you and Hadwin Stephenson are really dating after
I broke up with Jason, then you’ve underestimated our friendship!”
Grace gave a little smile. “Of course, I’m happy for you, I can only be happy that my best friend has finally found someone she truly likes! Therefore, you don’t need to feel guilty or embarra**ed”
