Five Years Wasted Now They Beg Her Back novel Chapter 542

"Well?"

Damien immediately leaned in when Grace finally hung up. "What did you find out?"

"Nothing."

Grace felt a surge of frustration. "Lottie doesn't know much either, just that he's a friend of her adoptive mother. Damien, do you really think there's such a thing as unwarranted kindness in this world?"

Back when she sacrificed everything for Ethan Ward—donating her bone marrow, shattering her leg, draining herself until she was a walking corpse—Ethan had never even looked her in the eye.

And now some powerful figure had appeared out of nowhere, helping her without asking for anything in return?

She didn't buy it.

"I don't know about unwarranted kindness."

Damien scooped her out of the chair and pulled her into his arms. "But I do know that if you frown again, I'm going to kiss you."

"You..."

Grace was just about to call him a jerk when a knock echoed on the office door.

"Come in," Damien said, his expression instantly shifting back to an icy mask.

Felix pushed the door open, his expression a bit peculiar.

"Mr. Clarke, Mrs. Clarke."

He glanced at Grace, hesitating.

"Spit it out," Damien clicked his tongue impatiently. "What's with the stammering?"

"It's... there's a man downstairs who says he wants to see Mrs. Clarke."

Felix forced himself to say.

"See me?"

Grace peeked out from Damien's embrace. "Who is it?"

Felix hesitated for a moment before finally answering.

"It's... Cassian Hart."

Hearing that name, Grace still felt a bit dazed.

"What does he want?"

Damien's face instantly darkened. "Kick him out. Tell him the Clarke family doesn't welcome any Harts."

He could never forgive Cassian.

"Wait."

Grace called out to Felix.

She took a deep breath and looked up at Damien. "Let him come up."

"Grace!" Damien looked at her disapprovingly. "Why would you see a guy like him?"

"After all..."
