Chapter 566
Even after so many years of looking for her, he never found
her again.
The more he missed that girl, the more he regretted it.
He had drunk too much yesterday, and the regret that was suppressed in his heart was like a flood that burst its banks.
and drowned him.
He did not even know how he got to the entrance of this restaurant. All he could think about was that he wanted to see.
her. He must see her..
It was as if seeing her would make him feel better.
However, later, when he saw her, the girl in his memory kept on interlacing with her, who was in the real world. He ended
up forgetting his manners.
It was a pity that even though he was drunk yesterday, he still
remembered what he had done to her.
He would not care if it were any other woman.
However, with Grace, she was different.
Not because she was Jason’s girlfriend, but just because she looked so much like the girl he imagined she would grow up to be.
Even though she was not the little girl, he did not want to be disliked by her.
“It’s no big deal. We’re even,” replied Grace lightly. She had also slapped him last night.
Even… For some reason, Brian thought the words sounded a little harsh. “Don’t you want to ask me what happened last night?”
“No,” she answered. It was his business, and she did not want
to be too curious. “I only hope that you’ll not get drunk and do the same thing to me again, Mr. Hart. You and I can pretend that it never happened last night.”
Brian smirked in self-mockery. She was not even remotely
interested in him.
From the cashier’s desk came the voice of the machine. “You
have new orders.”
Grace was about to walk away when she knew that she had more delivery orders, but Brian grabbed her wrist.
Grace frowned and turned to look at him. “Please let go, Mr.
Hart!”
“If you didn’t know Jason, would you date me?” Suddenly, he
wanted to know if it was possible.
Grace frowned even more. What kind of question was that?
“I just want to know the answer. Why? Is such a hypothetical question so hard to answer? Or are you too embarra**ed to say it’s possible?” said Brian.
Grace pressed her lips together and said sternly, “No way!
Even if I didn’t know Jason, I wouldn’t date you.”
Her answer gave him a sudden stab in the heart. “Why?”
“Because you have too many ex-girlfriends, I don’t want to be one of them. Besides, you have someone in your heart. I don’t
want to be a substitute for anyone,” answered Grace. She just
wanted to be herself.
Brian immediately laughed at himself and let her go. “That’s really… Something I can’t argue with.” His ex-girlfriends were
all substitutes, after all.
Grace walked over to the cash register. A moment later, she
hurried out of the small restaurant again with the orders to be
delivered.
Brian sat in his seat, turning the cup of tea in his hand without
making a sound for a long time.
