Chapter 834
‘No! No way!
‘I’ll take Grace’s place completely one day. I’ll be the one to stand beside him
and have the last laugh!’
:
Grace took the bus and went back to her
rental house. Her legs were so sore that
she could hardly lift them. She took out
two band-aids from her first aid kit and
applied them on her knees.
She breathed a sigh of relief when she felt the heat in her knee and the easing
pain.
Tonight had been like a battle for her.
She was exhausted, and her back was covered with a layer of cold sweat.
It seemed that even if it was already summer, her joints could not endure the cold air-conditioning for too long.
The encounter with Brian and Stella
this evening was a surprise. When Brian grabbed her by the arm and asked about Jason right before she left, she felt
a pang in her heart again.
‘If it was back in the old days, Jay would probably have accompanied me if I was going to a place like a nightclub.’
Curtis Row would not have the guts to
keep her standing for so long.
‘If my knee was hurting, Jay would hold
me carefully and rub my knee.
‘It’s just that… All of this no longer exists!’
The sweeter and intimate they once
were, the more it set off the cruelty now!
‘My Jay is gone!’
Grace thought she was done with the
nightclub incident. However, the next day
after work, she saw Brian waiting at the
door of her rental house.
Grace immediately stopped, surprise flashing in her eyes.
“Do you live here now?” asked Brian.
“Yeah,” she replied, wondering why Brian
was here.
However… Since Brian knew that this
was where she lived now, he must have
checked some basic information about
her current situation.
“I’m curious to know why you’d rent a
house in a place like this. Don’t you live
at Reed Residence? Why would Jason let
you live here?” he asked.
Although he told himself not to bother
about her, he had her checked out anyway after the nightclub incident last night. It was then he found out that she was working as an a**istant at a law firm
and was living in such an area.
This seemed inconceivable to him. ‘If she
insisted on being a mere a**istant in the
law firm, then why would Jason allow her
to move out of Reed Residence to live in
such a place?’
He could see Jason’s concern for her. Jason could even go against the Hart family for her. Otherwise, how could he
have let her go again and again?
However… This was completely beyond his expectation.
Instead of asking Jason, he came to her
instead!
‘Why?’ Brian’s phoenix eyes were fixed on
Grace’s comely face. He always thought
that this was how the little girl he had been looking for would grow up to look
like.
‘Did I come here only to see her one
more time?’
Brian laughed. He had no feelings for her anymore. He came just because he
was curious and wanted to find out the
truth.
Grace bit her lip and met Brian’s eye.
ו”
broke up with Jason, so now I live here.
What’s so weird about that?”
“Broke up?” Brian was surprised.
Very few things surprised him, but now
he was shocked!
