Chapter 694
His hair, which had always been neatly combed, was now a little
messy. A few strands of hair hung before his forehead, and his
handsome face was not as indifferent and estranged as usual.
Instead, it was showing some blurry decadence.
In his other hand, he held a small silver bracelet.
Those phoenix eyes kept staring at the bracelet.
Seeing the bracelet, Stella Lindsay felt even more complicated.
Instead of giving her the silver bracelet after she a**umed Grace’s
identity, Brian kept it by his side.
Even when she was with him sometimes, he looked at the bracelet as if he was looking at something through it.
‘What is he looking at? Is he thinking of Grace when she was younger?’ The idea sent Stella Lindsay into a frenzy of jealousy.
“Brian.” Stella Lindsay bit her lip and pretended to be wronged. “Why didn’t you come to see me at school today? Instead, you’re drinking alone. You don’t know how worried I was about you. I was afraid something had happened to you.”
Raising his phoenix eyes lazily, Brian looked at Stella Lindsay and
smiled a little, but it seemed to be a self-deprecating smile.
“I forgot. I’m sorry I worried you,” he said.
However, his words made Stella Lindsay feel even more
uncomfortable.
He was always so unaccustomed and polite to her that he never
even took the initiative to take her hand.
However, the picture she saw online today was of him taking the
initiative to pull Grace into the car.
“Has something happened that’s making you drink like this? I
know I may not be able to help, but at least I can listen to you…
Just as how you confessed to me when we were little,” Stella
Lindsay said with fake concern as she came forward.
Of course, this was all what Grace had said to her when they were
younger.
She was mentioning it now to remind him of the affection he had felt as a child and to treat her better.
“When we were younger…” Brian murmured. Then, he got up with a slight wobble, put down the wine gla** in his hand, and approached her step by step.
There were already signs of intoxication in his phoenix eyes.
As he stood still before her, he suddenly murmured, “Why you? Why not her?”
Stella Lindsay was stunned for a moment. She did not quite catch what he meant by that.
However, the next moment, as she saw him looking at the small. bracelet again, her blood suddenly froze.
‘What he means is that… Why am I the one who saved him when. he was younger and not Grace?’
“I…” She tried to say something but found her throat to be dry. His glance made her feel terrifyingly guilty.
“All right, you can leave. I’m okay, just a little tired. I want to be alone,” Brian said lightly. He sat back on the couch and lowered
his head to stare at the small bracelet in his hand.
It was as if the bracelet was the whole world to him!
Stella Lindsay’s eyes were full of jealousy. ‘Given time, I’ll be able
to take Grace’s place in his heart completely!”
She would make him completely transfer the feelings he felt for
Grace as a child to her!
