He stood a foot away from her, staring at her with a dark face and no expression.
She smiled, reached out her hand and patted his handsome face. She frowned and said, “Oh, you look like Carl.”
Her wrist was pulled down vigorously, and the next second, she was picked up by the man by the waist.
“What are you doing? Let go of me, I still have to drink.” Grace flapped his chest and struggled.
“Be honest.” He yelled at her with displeasure, “You are drunk, it’s time to go home.”
She was stunned and stared at his well-defined side face. Tears suddenly poured down.
Seeing her suddenly crying so sadly, Carl panicked and said hurriedly, “Grace, what happened?”
“Carl… you yelled at me… how could you yell at me…” She wiped the tears from her face with his clothes, but then burst into tears, “You have promised me, you would spoil me for a lifetime and never be hard on me…”
For an instant, Carl’s body shook and froze all over.
Drunken Grace was exactly the same as the little girl who liked to play coquetry and mischief in his arms ten years ago.
He remembered that on the day of her adulthood ceremony when she was eighteen, she sneaked into the bar and drank more than half a bottle of whisky. When he found her, she was already drunk.
Worried and anxious, he hurriedly carried her out of the bar and stayed by her side all night.
The next day when she woke up sober, he couldn’t help losing his temper with her.
She was wronged and leaned against his arms, tears falling from her eyes.
She made his heart ache and his anger suddenly disappeared.
He remembered that day, he coaxed her softly all day, bought her a lot of ice cream, and promised her never to be hard on her again.
Unfortunately, he broke his promise after all.
Carl suppressed the bitterness in his heart and threw Grace into a black luxury car.
But she dragged him and refused to let go.
His beautiful brows frowned slightly. “Grace, let me go.”
“No, I want to have a roasted sweet potato.” However, she glanced at the roasted sweet potatoes stall on the roadside and swallowed.
“…” Carl scowled.
He was a president and she asked him to buy a roasted sweet potatoe?
“Don’t eat, just go back.” He said with irritability all over his face.
“I don’t! I just want to eat. Carl, I beg you, buy me a roasted sweet potato…” She took him by the corner of his cloth, and acted like a spoiled child.
Once she liked to follow behind him, pestering him to play coquetry and always asked him to do something he didn’t want to do.
But every time, he would compromise silently.
Ironically, ten years has passed, no matter how many things have happened to them or how much he hates her, Carl still could not refuse the pettish Grace.
With a long sigh, he turned and walked to the stall and bought her a roasted sweet potato.
Grace sat on the co-pilot with a hot sweet potato in her hands, happy as a child.
Grace could not remember things after that clearly.
When she opened her eyes again, she found herself lying in a clean hotel room.
It was empty and there was no one nearby.
If it wasn’t for the roasted sweet potato that has cooled beside the bed, she would even think that everything was a dream last night.
She stared at the half-eaten roasted sweet potato for a long time, then suddenly rushed forward, crushed it and threw it into the garbage can.
She hates Carl! But she hated her former self who always thought of Carl and her!
But this time, she would never relent again, and she would never let him bully her again!
… …
December 23rd was Grayson’s 50th birthday.
The Chi family held a big banquet and invited many dignitaries and celebrities of Romantic city.
Grace went out early, she went to the mall to buy flowers and gifts for Grayson, then took a taxi to the villa of the Chi family.
She knew that she was not welcomed here and they even wanted her to die outside, but how could she not come to her biological father’s birthday party?
She smiled and gently pushed open the door of the villa of the Chi family.
There were many people gathering in the villa. Stella and Britney sat around Grayson and made Grayson very happy.
Grace walked up to Grayson step by step, handed him the bunch of flowers and sneered, “Happy Birthday, Dad.”
In a moment, the crowd quieted down and everyone’s eyes fell on her.
Stella looked at her in shock and said in horror, “Grace… you are still alive?”
“Yes, I am still alive.” Grace looked at her with a frown and sneered, ‘stella, you should have been more ruthless that night. Since I survived, I won’t make you feel better.”
“What are you talking about? I don’t understand.” Stella’s face darkened, but she still smiled hypocritically. “Now that you’re here, why don’t you accompany our father for his birthday?”
“Get out of here!” Grayson, however shouted at her angrily, “Grace, if you really want to wish me a happy birthday, you shouldn’t have bought me chrysanthemums. I’m not dead yet!”
Hearing his words, Grace looked down at the chrysanthemums in her hand and laughed: “Oh, yes, I almost forgot that the chrysanthemum is to the dead. In this case, let’s give this bunch of flowers to my mother. Anyway, my mother has been dead for only a few months and her remains are scarcely cold yet.”
At this point, she placed the bunch of flowers in the center of the dining table, as if to remind Grayson of something.
“You unfilial daughter!” Grayson trembled with anger, took the bunch of flowers and hit her hard, gnashed his teeth and said, “Get out of here! We don’t have a daughter like you in our family, you are not allowed to step into our house again!”
“If it weren’t for my mother, I wouldn’t have come here.” With a sneer, Grace walked straight into the warehouse and took out all the things of Lily’s .
When passing by Grayson and Britney, she stopped and said word by word, “Grayson, I am here to ruin your birthday party today. You didn’t make it easy for me and my mother, I won’t make it easy for you either. ”
“Besides.” With that, she leaned in to Britney’s ear and sneered, “Britney, I’ll get back at you little by little for my mom!”
As she finished speaking, she turned to leave.
“Grace.” Britney suddenly stopped her, smiling as she said, “You don’t really think Lily was killed by me, do you?”
“Or what?” She asked back, “Who else wants her dead but you?”
“Ha ha.” Britney, however, laughed out loud. After a long time, she lowered her voice and said, “Grace, you are wrong. It was not me who killed Lily, but Carl.”
“What?” Grace’s pupils suddenly tightened and her vision shook violently.
