Still, the worst of all is that her parents even force her to stay with Augus. She is now living in despair and pain every single day. Every day is worse than the next.
"So you're here to condemn me now?" Alex narrows his eyebrows, displaying an arrogant, domineering look.
"I... just want to tell you that I still like you a lot." Grace really can’t hold herself back. She really wants to be with him forever. But why does it become so complicated?
Alex coldly sweeps a glance at Grace, "I'm afraid this is not a good look, stepmother."
He specifically accentuates those last two words, making them sound so sarcastic to Grace's ears.
"I..." the tears inside Grace’s eyes flows down, and her makeup is ruined.
"What did I do wrong? Why do you have to do this to me? I obviously just want to stay by your side, so why don't you just take me away, just take me away." Grace’s emotions become even more agitated because she simply doesn’t want to stay by that old man's side. She is tired of having to serve him every day and tired of being pampered by someone so disgusting.
Alex still doesn't change his face, "You chose this yourself in the first place, then you have to suffer the consequences."
"But I regret it..." says Grace in tears as she wipes her tears with her aggrieved hand. Hopefully, this will change his mind.
When Alex sees that Augus and Richard are discussing something important, he tries to walk over to them, but he ends up being held in Grace’s arms again. He glares at her, making in her let go of his hand aggrievedly.
But in the next second, Alex can no longer see the duo. Damn it!
"Do you know how much trouble you've caused me? If you want to leave a good impression for me, then please don't appear in front of me ever again." Alex leaves behind a warning, then hurriedly leaves.
Grace’s entire heart is broken as she sits paralysed on the ground. She can’t understand why he just has to hate her so much?
Brother Alex...
"Why do you run away from me? Which part exactly am I not as good as Miya? Why don't you tell me, I can change it all for you," Grace still doesn’t give up and chases after him, she can’t let herself miss out on such a great opportunity. She is afraid that she will never see Alex again, so she has to find a way to get him.
She doesn’t care if she is seen in public. She just goes straight up and hugs Alex's thigh.
"I'll never leave your side again." After everything that has happened, Grace feels safe only by his side, and she is heartbroken to lose him like this.
"It's time for you to stop this," Alex says as he shakes her off.
When Dennis sees this, he comes over and picks up Grace, who is still trying to go after Alex.
"Don't embarrass me over here."
Grace's eyes are turning red, "Don't do this to me, dad."
"Now who doesn't know that you're my daughter, you're clearly embarrassing me by doing something like this here now, I won't let you do this." Dennis just wants to teach Grace a good lesson.
