Grace sat across from him, maintaining a respectful yet distant expression on her face.
She didn't leave first but sat there quietly, waiting.
Finally, Casper couldn't hold on any longer. He stood up and said, "I'll leave the check here. If you've made up your mind, just write the amount on it."
After saying that, he turned around and took a few steps, only to hear the sound of paper being torn behind him.
He paused for a moment and left the coffee shop in anger.
Grace threw the check into the trash can.
She stared blankly out the window, thinking, 'Brian, this is all I can do.'
*****
After dinner, Casper stopped Brian. "Brian, I have something to tell you. Sit down for a moment."
Brian sat on the sofa, silent.
Casper brought out many photos.
"Brian, take a look at these. These are all the ladies I've chosen for you. They're from the best families in Capern City, and they're all very beautiful," Casper said.
Brian's gaze turned cold as he said, word by word, "I'm not interested."
Casper glanced at him coldly, ignoring his resistance, and continued, "This one is Marley Langley, the daughter of the Langley family. She's twenty-four this year..."
Grace looked at the photos for a while, then took Austin upstairs indifferently.
Brian clenched his fists and looked at their disappearing figures.
Upstairs, in Austin's room.
She understood that the more Brian cared about her in front of Casper, the more detrimental it was to him.
Nelson had entered the Francis family, and he knew very well how to please Casper.
If Brian continued to defy Casper at this time, and Nelson stirred up trouble, Casper might make even more outrageous demands.
Thinking of this, Grace looked at Brian and said indifferently, "Actually, I think you should seriously consider those ladies arranged for you."
Brian looked at her serious face, stunned for a moment, and then asked, "Grace, are you jealous?"
Grace looked at him intently. "I'm not. I'm speaking to you very seriously. I don't think you should waste any more time on me. We can't be together anyway. You should consider the marriage."
Brian narrowed his eyes, staring firmly at her face. "What about you? You want me to get married, but what about you?"
Grace's eyes flashed. "I have my plans."
