“What if I still love you? Can you love me again?” he asked hoarsely. He loved her. Therefore, his life, joys, and sorrows.
could all be handed over to her hands.
These days, he finally understood that he had been doomed to never escape the moment he fell in love with her.
His struggles had all been in vain.
However, he heard her saying, “Jason, I can never fall in love with you again.””
For a moment, his blood felt as if it had frozen!
Brian looked at the investigation report his men sent to his phone. Grace would have been surprised if she was there because it was the medical record of all the injuries she suffered in prison.
Brian’s face grew colder and colder as he read the pages.
The pain she had suffered was for worse than he imagined.
Furthermore, the wounds on her fingers were caused by Lily and Sean!
He could not imagine how she must have felt when she suffered such pain.
He had always looked on coldly at many people and things, but he could not look on coldly when it came to her.
“Lily… Sean…” Brian muttered the two names. ‘I’ll get payback for everything Grace has suffered!
“Young Master, Miss Lindsay is here. She said she has something important to talk to you about,” reported the butler as he entered the study.
Brian put away his phone and ordered softly, “Tell her to wait for me in the living room. I’ll be there in a minute.”
“Yes,” answered the butler as he withdrew from the study.
Brian raised his hand and touched his heart.
It was… hurting for the woman who had suffered so much in prison.
The injustice of her imprisonment and the sufferings she endured in prison would have destroyed any ordinary person’s spirit and will.
However, she was still holding on, working hard for her survival and future.
Even though her life had been derailed by a miscarriage of justice, she was starting over.
The woman seemed weak and delicate but was far more tenacious than ordinary people.
She reminded him of the little girl from his childhood… Sometimes, he could not help thinking that if only that little girl had been her instead of Stella!
Finding Stella only made him realize that sometimes, imagination was different from reality.
People changed.
The little girl was once full of a sense of justice and a desire to see justice done, but now, Stella only wanted to live a life of luxury.
However, it did not matter. Since Stella was his savior, he
Brian got up. He walked out of the study and into the living room.
When Stella saw Brian, she immediately said hesitantly, “Brian, I came to see you today because I wanted to tell you something, but… I don’t know if I should tell you.”
Brian looked at Stella with a cold stare. There was something wrong with the way she was speaking.
To put it bluntly, she wanted to talk about something and this move was just to show that she was doing it for his benefit, not out of malice.
Such a move was of course the oldest trick in the book to
Brian.
Usually, he did not mind if a woman tried some tricks on him. He would only see it as a joke, but… he was disappointed to see Stella do the same.
“Now that you’re here, just tell me whatever you have to say,” said Brian.
Joy flashed across Stella’s face, but then her expression. changed to one of distress.
She pulled out a recorder pen and said, “This is a conversation Grace and I had the other day. I accidentally hit the record button, so I recorded a part of the conversation. I… didn’t want to say anything, but I was afraid you might get hurt, so I came
“Really?” Instead of taking the recorder pen, Brian stared at Stella.
Stella got a little guilty and said dryly, “Why don’t I… play it for you?”
Without waiting for Brian to answer, she pressed the play button. The conversation she had with Grace was played, but she had edited the recording and deleted all parts that were unfavorable to her..
When Grace’s voice could be heard saying “I don’t love Brian, and I don’t have any ideas about him”, Stella observed Brian’s. expression. She was hoping to see anger or some traces that showed his love for her was turning into hate on his face.
However, she ended up being disappointed as Brian’s expression remained the same.
Brian remained unconcerned until the recording ended.
Stella even wanted to play the recording again for him.
“I accidentally recorded it. Brian, as you heard, Grace doesn’t love you. I’m worried that you might get hurt, especially now that Grace’s life isn’t going so well. I’m afraid that she’ll only date you to change her life and your feelings would then go to waste,” Stella said with an air of concern.
“Just like how your life wasn’t going well until I found you, right? Didn’t your life change because of me?” said Brian.
Stella’s voice was stuck in her throat as a flash of embarra**ment came over her face. She did not know what to say next.
“I… I was…”
Brian said, “Stella, you saved my life, so I have no displeasure in helping you change your life. Grace’s the person I love. If she needs me to change her life, I’m more than pleased to do so.””
Stella immediately felt a surge of jealousy!
‘What’s so good about Grace? She even made Brian use such words!’
“She doesn’t love you. Doesn’t that matter? She said it herself.
in the recording!” Stella was eager to grasp this point.
The next moment, Stella suddenly felt suffocated, and there was a chill rising from the soles of her feet. Those phoenix eyes of his were looking at her coldly.
“Stello, I hope you won’t use such tricks on me again, got it?” Brian exclaimed coolly.
Stella froze immediately! She only felt as if those cold phoenix
The day before Nelson started kindergarten was the weekend.
Grace and Lina came to Kyla Corbyn’s place to give Nelson a gift for getting into kindergarten.
Grace gave him a set of crayons and a sketchbook, while Lina gave him a set of clothes and shoes.
After receiving the gifts, the little one blushed and kissed each of them shyly while saying in a cute child-like voice, “Thank you, Aunty and Aunty Sweeney.”
Lina’s heart almost melted at his cuteness. “Oh my. If I have a daughter, I want you to be my son-in-law!”
The little one blinked his eyes, not knowing what a son-in-law was, but he seemed to understand what ‘having a daughter’ meant. He looked at Lina’s belly. “Are you having a baby, Aunty Sweeney?”
At his question, Kyla Corbyn and Grace gazed at Lina’s stomach.
“You’re pregnant?” asked Grace.
Lina’s face reddened. “No… No! I was just talking metaphorically. Metaphorically. If I had a daughter…” she stammered.
‘Speaking of which, Hadwin Stephenson and I haven’t used any contraception the few times we did the deed. Besides… I didn’t seem to have gotten my period this month. Could I be…””
Lina was instantly stunned and began to wonder whether she was pregnant.
“What’s on your mind? Why did you become silent?” asked © Grace.
“Ah!” Lina suddenly came to herself and said hurriedly, “It’s nothing. Hehe. I’m just wondering whether Nelson will like my daughter if I do give birth to one.”
Kyla Corbyn quipped, “If you do have a daughter, Nelson will adore her very much. I’m just afraid your daughter won’t like Nelson!”
