“No!”
Grace tried her best to break him away, but he kicked her leg away with a sneer, “Now you know how to pretend to be reserved? Didn’t you expect today when you begged me to fuck you?”
He grabbed her hair and hit her harder and harder, his eyes were as cold as ice.
“Grace, don’t you want to marry anyone else in your life!”
“You were born for Bo family and you will died in Bo family. You have to live for Caleb all your life!”
She bit her lips and bore his impact, and tears flowed down quietly.
Five years, he has been torturing her for five years, why wouldn’t he let her go?
Carl, what have I done wrong in the past five years?
When Mason pushed the door and came in, Grace collapsed and sat on the ground, clinging to her body and shaking all over.
He raised his eyes and looked at Carl, who was tidying up his clothes, and understood everything immediately.
Carl pointed to the money scattered all over the floor and sneered, “Sorry, I paid.”
The implication was that Grace was just a prostitute who slept with anyone who paid.
Mason was not angry, but looked up at him and sneered, “I didn’t expect Boss Carl to like this kind of things.”
“I’m used to using good ones, and occasionally I want to try a cheap one.” He tied his tie and laughed, “Isn’t Mr. Mason the same?”
“Grace is not cheap to me.” Mason glanced at Grace and smiled. “She is much more expensive than Stella.”
Hearing Stella’s name, Carl’s eyes darkened obviously.
Mason walked to her step by step and lowered his voice. “Boss Carl, since you have decided to marry Stella, don’t mess with Grace. Be careful to lose your wife and lose your army.”
“Besides, Grace is my woman now. If you dare to touch her again, don’t blame me for not being polite.”
“Ha ha.” Hearing what he said, Carl laughed sarcastically. ‘mason, you know in your heart why you marry Grace. Don’t worry. She will crawl back to me before long.”
He glanced at Grace confidently as he finished speaking, then turned away and left.
Grace huddled up in the corner, trembling all over.
But she never dreamed that what Carl said tonight would become a prophecy.
After a long time, Mason walked slowly to her side, took off his coat and put it on her shoulder. He whispered, “Well, people outside dissolved. I’ll take you home.”
Till now did Grace look up at him and laughed, ‘mason, are you still willing to marry me?”
“Why not?” He reached out his hands and gently helped her to manage her long scattered hair. He hooked his lips and smiled. “Don’t worry, I will protect you and won’t let Carl bully you again.”
Whether he really meant it or not, Grace was very touched at that moment.
She sniffed and suddenly felt like crying.
It has been five years, and he was the first to say he wanted to protect her.
If she hasn’t known the real reason why he wanted to marry her later, perhaps she would have fallen in love with the only man who was willing to protect her.
… …
With Mason’s help, Grace finally got Aaron’s operation fee.
The day before the operation, Grace went to Aaron’s ward and looked at the man with an angular eyes and brows lying on the sickbed. The stone in her heart for a month finally fell to the ground.
Aaron was Hailey’s boyfriend, and Hailey was the only one willing to help her in the mental hospital for the past five years.
Grace remembered that on the day she first met Hailey, she was locked up in a small black room by the people sent from Carl and she starved for three whole days. Just when she thought she was going to starve to death, Hailey brought her bread and water and saved her life.
Hailey was a nurse in the mental hospital. Knowing that Grace was not crazy, she took good care of her. She would not know how many times she would have died without Hailey.
Thanks to Hailey’s help, she was able to escape.
Hailey’s only concern was Aaron, who was paralyzed.
Therefore, she must take good care of Aaron.
When Aaron recovered, he would be able to pick up Hailey and they would also be able to meet each other.
Thinking about this, the long-lost smile apeared on Grace’s face.
She has been living in darkness all the year round and almost forgot how to laugh. Hailey was the only warmth in her dark world.
Grace stayed very late in the sanatorium before dragging her tired body back home.
Unexpectedly, Carl came.
In order not to be discovered by Carl’s family and her family this month, she rented a small house in the old city. She thought she hid herself very well, but he found her easily.
She stepped back in fear, but he reached for the key in her hand and opened the door.
The old and shabby house was out of step with his noble and elegant temperament.
He walked straight in and sat down on the shabby sofa.
He seemed a bit agitated and pulled his tie loose, looked above her and said gently, “Grace, I am hungry.”
“Oh.” She nodded and went into the kitchen to cook a bowl of dumplings and put them in front of him.
Looking at him with his brows slightly frowning, she shrugged and said, “This is the only thing I have here. You should go to Stella if you want to eat well.”
He didn’t speak, but took the chopsticks, put a dumpling in his mouth, chewed and swallowed gently.
The yellow light was very gentle, made his handsome and elegant face more facinating.
Five years have past, he still hasn’t changed at all, his facial features were still handsome and flawless, his eyes as deep as ancient wells were still so indifferent and distant, but so enchanting.
Grace stared at this handsome face, which has appeared in her dreams countless times in the past five years, and felt all this like a dream.
She never thought that she would still have the chance to sit face to face with him for dinner.
So harmonious, so quiet.
Carl suddenly looked up at her, lowered his voice and said, “Grace, do you still remember? Today is Caleb’s death anniversary.”
What?
Grace’s hand holding the cup quivered slightly, and her heart suddenly jumped into her mouth.
So, what did he want?
