At the door stood a tall man in a gray suit. His face was gloomy and he looked inside without blinking.
With only one glance, the man met Grace's eyes.
His worried eyes were filled with deep longing. He seemed bitter and helpless, filled with the sorrow of being teased by fate, and this made him look extraordinarily tired.
"Grace?" It took him half a minute to call out her name.
The person standing at the door was Simon, whom Grace had not seen for many years.
Time had weathered his young face.
Simon was still so tall, but he was no longer a carefree teenager. His eyes were full of sadness.
When his dark eyes saw Grace, they sharply contracted, even the corners of his lips were compressed. Perhaps it was because those lips were always kept tightly pursed, there were faint lines engraved around the corners his mouth.
They looked at each other with different emotions flashing in each other's eyes.
Many years ago, at the age of 18, Grace was happily dating twenty-one-year-old Simon.
However, after that fateful night, Simon had suddenly married Grace' s older sister Marry, becoming Grace's brother-in-law.
Grace didn't expect to meet him in person so soon.
Moreover, Simon had actually came on his own accord, without an invitation.
Grace smiled bitterly in her heart. What will come will come. She knew that it would be futile to try to escape from it.
"Simon?" Alice was also shocked when she saw Simon. She nervously said to Grace, " Sis, I really don't know how he followed me here. I've been very careful."
No one took notice of what Alice said.
Simon stared at Grace without blinking.
Grace came to herself, and said, "Long time no see, brother-in-law."
Upon hearing these words, Simon's eyes shrank sharply, and there was an unbearable pain in his dark eyes.
