When she arrived at the car dealership, she only saw Chase Harper talking with a staff member. He was pointing at the parts of a car beside him from time to time, using some jargon.
Chase Harper had a serious expression on his face right now, which was completely different from the shy and honest person he usually was. He indeed looked like a director.
Even ordinary people could impress others when they were doing something they were good at.
Chase Harper only noticed Grace after he was done talking to the staff. He immediately scratched his neck shyly and said, “I… I was so focused on my work that I didn’t notice you. I’m sorry. I…
I’ll make you some tea!”
Grace said, “No thanks. I’m not thirsty.
Besides, I’m the one disturbing you.”
“No, no!” Chase Harper welcomed Grace into his office and poured her a cup of tea.
Grace looked around the small office.
Although it was small and had a lot of things, she could see that Chase Harper probably spent a lot of time here. There was also a folding bed in the room.
“It’s a little messy.” Chase Harper smiled awkwardly.
“It’s only normal when you start your own business. I actually envy you for starting your own business,” Grace said.
She had thought of starting her own business at the beginning, thinking that she would open her own law firm after accumulating enough experience.
However… She was only working as a paralegal now.
She could only sigh that things were ever-changing.
“Go through this document. I’ve typed out the questionable points you’ve mentioned. Sign your name if they’re all right,” Grace said as she handed Chase Harper the document in her hand.
She had already called Chase Harper to explain her intention before coming over.
Chase Harper took the document, went through it, and signed it.
Grace took it, picked up the pen, and also signed her name on the document. When she looked up, she found Chase Harper looking at her.
“What’s the matter? Is there a problem?”
she asked.
“You… must have… suffered a lot in…”
he muttered. He did not utter the word
‘prison’, but Grace knew what he meant.
“It’s all in the past now.” She smiled faintly.
It was as if the past had faded into thin air.
However, Chase Harper felt sad when he saw that smile. He had seen her signing her name earlier. Her finger bones had a slightly unnatural bulge as if they were badly injured and did not heal completely.
She wrote slower than ordinary people.
‘Is this the wound she got in prison?’
Even though she had rejected him several times, he still could not help wanting to care for her.
Just as Grace was about to get up and leave, Chase Harper said suddenly,
“Well… Are you free later? I have a gift for Nelson. Can you go with me?”
Grace was stunned a little. “You bought a gift for Nelson?”
“Yes, he’s a lovely boy.” Besides, he was deaf, so he felt a little more sympathy for the little guy.
“Alright, we’ll go together later.” She wanted to see Nelson and Kyla too.
They would be moving to G City in a few days, and Kyla had already sold her small restaurant. Everything was ready.
Kyla was doing all this just to avoid
Martin Weiss.
When Grace and Chase Harper arrived at Kyla Corbyn’s current residence, they found several bags of luggage in the room. The things in the room were much less than what she had seen during her last visit.
When Nelson saw Chase Harper, he called him ‘Uncle Harper’ happily. Although Nelson had become more outgoing after installing the hearing aid, he did not get close to just anyone. He was only close to those he was familiar with.
However, Nelson clearly liked Chase
Harper.
When Chase Harper brought out his gift, a toy bubble gun, Nelson was even happier.
Bubbles would come out from the muzzle of the toy gun when you pulled down the trigger.
”
Children of Nelson’s age loved bubbles, especially toys that were shaped like a gun.
Before long, there were bubbles all over the house.
Looking at the bubbles inside the house, Chase Harper felt a little embarra**ed. “I… Well… Maybe I’ll take Nelson outside to play for a while. I’ll bring him back later.”
“Yes. Thank you,” Kyla Corbyn said with a smile.
“No worries. I enjoy playing with Nelson,”
Chase Harper said.
Nelson was excited to play with the bubbles outside, so he went out with
Chase Harper happily.
Then, Kyla Corbyn asked Grace, “Why did you come here with him today?”
“I had to see him for some work and he happened to have gotten Nelson a gift, so we came together,” said Grace. Then, she glanced at the luggage. “What about you? When are you going to G City?”
“In three days. We found a moving company to ship some of the furniture. I’ll take the high-speed train with my mother and Nelson,” said Kyla Corbyn.
“What time is your train? I’ll come to see you off,” said Grace.
“No thanks. It’s not a weekend, so you have to work. Thank you anyway. I’ll tell you when we’ve arrived in G City.
Besides, if you come to see me off,
Nelson might not want to leave,” said
Kyla Corbyn.
Grace smiled. “Then I wish you a pleasant journey!”
“Thank you. I hope we’ll have a pleasant trip.” Kyla Corbyn smiled. ‘I hope my move to G City will bring me the peace I want.
‘I hope… I never see Martin Weiss again!’
“Martin, what do you think of this necklace?” Paisley Daniels raised her chin slightly to reveal the diamond necklace on her neck.
The brilliant diamonds sparkled under the lights.
Martin Weiss glanced at it and said, “It’s nice. Buy it if you like it.”
“It costs 80 million though.” Paisley
Daniels sounded hesitant.
“As long as you like it, it doesn’t matter how much it costs,” said Martin Weiss.
Hearing that, Paisley Daniels smiled.
Her delicately made-up face seemed to grow more attractive.
She actually wanted a diamond ring rather than a diamond necklace!
However… Even though he had promised to announce their wedding date at the party in a few days, he had yet to give her a diamond ring.
There was a nagging fear in her mind that something might happen.
Paisley Daniels looked at the other jewelry casually before deliberately exclaiming, “Wow, this ring is beautiful.”
“This is our latest limited-edition wedding ring. The diamond on it is the Mermaid’s Tear that made the news last year. Our company won its bid to create this limited-edition ring,” said the sales a**istant.
Paisley Daniels picked up the diamond ring and examined it carefully.
At first, she was just trying to lead the conversation to her wedding ring, but the more she looked at the ring, the better it looked.
“Martin…” Paisley Daniels bit her lip slightly and looked at Martin Weiss. “This ring is so beautiful. Why don’t we… make it our wedding ring?”
Martin Weiss’s eyes fell on the diamond ring. It was named Mermaid’s Tear because the diamond’s original shape resembled the shape of a teardrop.
The tear reminded him of the last tears that the woman had shed for him.
Those eyes that were once full of love and hate turned into serenity as tears silently streamed down.
