“Grace?!”
Grace was startled. Could it be that Edgar… also drank fake wine?
She didn’t say anything, but Adrain, who heard Edgar interrupt his confession, felt his anger rising.
Fueled by alcohol, he got up from the ground and rushed over, grabbing Edgar’s cor with one hand
and clenching his other hand into a fist, ready to strike at Edgar’s face.
“It was you who hurt her a few days ago. What right do you have to unt yourself in front of her?!”
Edgar remained motionless, offering no exnation, his ck eyes locking in a fearless gaze with
Adrain. Adrain was furious, and it seemed like his fist was about tond.
Grace shouted, “Seventeen, Eighteen!”
Seventeen and Eighteen immediately jumped in through the open window, separating the two men who
were facing off.
Adrain didn’t get to throw his punch, feeling rather frustrated. “Grace, why didn’t you let me teach him a
lesson?”
Grace exchanged a nce with Seventeen and Eighteen, then said, “Mr. Grammer is drunk. Take him
home.”
“Yes.”
“I’m not drunk, really. Grace, I’m not drunk…”
Adrain mumbled, his voice growing fainter as he was supported by the two bodyguards, bing
more and more distant.
Finally, it was quiet. Edgar no longer pretended to have a stomach ache and regained his usual
composure.
Grace looked at him sarcastically and asked, “Why did you stop pretending?”
Edgar tightly pursed his lips, walked silently to her, lowered both knees, and knelt steadily in front of
her. This time, it was his own initiative to kneel.
When Adrain knelt on one knee earlier, it was an expression of love. But when Edgar knelt on both
knees, it was an act of redemption.
Grace didn’t understand his actions. “What are you doing?”
Edgar looked up at her, his gaze determined. “There’s something that has troubled me for many years.
Can you tell me the truth tonight?”
“Go ahead, speak.”
“On March 14th, thirteen years ago, did you go to Berth Street? Did you save a little boy?”
Grace was about to deny it.
Edgar continued first, “If you continue to brush me off like before, I will keep investigating. I won’t give
up until I get the final answer!”
That incident was never important to Grace. “Is my honesty important? Is it important to obtain that
result?”
“It’s important.”
Locking eyes, Grace saw anticipation, earnestness, and a longing for her to tell the truth in his dark.
-eyes.
“If I give you my answer, will you stop investigating?”
“Yes.”
His tone was resolute.
Well, then, saving that person was just an ident, a trivial matter for her. It wouldn’t matter if she told
him. “Yes, I did go there. I vaguely remember saving a boy from a car ident that day, but I don’t
recall the details.”
Edgar’s eyes reddened slightly, and his low voice trembled. “That’s enough.”
Over the years, he had made such a tremendous mistake! He had mistaken the person he liked for the
person he owed gratitude to, and he had received her, but he hadn’t cherished her….
Edgar felt a sudden pain in his chest.
Taking a step forward on his knees towards Grace, his eyes teary, he called out to her, “Grace, I…
“Stop!”
Those two words sent shivers down Grace’s spine. Every time he spoke softly, it felt like there was at
hidden agenda. Couldn’t he just speak normally? Why was he calling her Grace in such a sweet tone?
And… saying Grace so sweetly?
Why not call her Master?
Grace told him with a serious expression, “I’ll give you two choices: call me “Master’ or call me ‘Miss
Grace”.”
Edgar’s face turned pale, and he struggled internally. “Then, I’ll call you Miss Grace.”
After the internal struggle, he continued with a trembling voice. “These days, I finally understand my
feelings and realize how terribly wrong I was before… Grace, it turns out that the one I have always
liked, loved, and felt grateful for is you, from beginning to end! I was foolish, I was…”
Before he could finish speaking. Grace lifted his chin with her fingertip. Seeing his remorseful
expression and his ck eyes filled with regret, he really looked like he had realized his mistake. “Let
me guess: you’ve had an epiphany, and now you want to make the best of a bad situation?”
A smile curled at the corner of her lips, and her eyes revealed undisguised mockery.
Besides mockery and coldness, no other emotions could be found in those eyes. Edgar’s heart ached
fiercely.
He was not surprised that Yvonne’s words were overheard by the bodyguards and conveyed to her.
However, he would never stoop so low as to engage in such despicable behavior.
“I would never engage in the kind of behavior that coerces you. From now on, I won’t deceive you by
pretending anymore. Whether you believe it or not, I will prove to you that I am willing topensate
for what I owe you, whether it’s through restitution or paying the price, as long as you give me another
chance.”
“Another chance?”
Grace chuckled, “I don’t care if you’re under the influence of the wrong medication or experiencing a
me ntal breakdown today. There’s one thing I’ll make crystal clear to you! I will never reconcile with
you, remarry you in this lifetime. It’s Impossible unless you’re dead!TM
Unless he died?
Edgar smiled bitterly. He understood her character, but he still couldn’t give up. He had to try to feel

the pain in his heart once again…
“I hurt you deeply and don’t deserve your forgiveness. Then let me stay by your side for the rest of my
life as a ser vant to atone for my sins.”
For the rest of his life?
Grace raised an eyebrow slightly, her lips filled with disdain. “So, if I marry another man in the future,
can you bear to watch us being affectionate every day?”
Edgar’s back stiffened, and his face turned pale instantly. Seeing his reaction, Grace coldly sneered,
released her grip on his chin, and went upstairs.
“Edgar, a lifetime is too long. Who knows what might happen? If you can make it through this year, then
we’ll talk.”
Edgar knelt on the ground, his ears still echoing Grace’s words. Could he really hear to watch her be
affectionate with another man every day…
The answer was, “He couldn’t do it!” He stayed in the living room for a long time, graduallying to a
realization.
Grace didn’t believe his repentance, so he would show her!
He dutifully cleaned up the remaining dishes and tes on the table before returning to his room to
take a shower.
As soon as he entered the bathroom and took off his pants, two packages suddenly fell to the ground
with a light “plop” sound
Edgar bent down to pick them up and discovered that they were three packages of coffee sugar.
He didn’t pay much attention to it. It was probably during the day when he put them in his pocket while
making coffee. He casually ced them on the bedside table and continued to take a shower.
After showering, he came out wearing a bathrobe. Just as he finished blow-drying his hair, the sound ofThis belongs to N?velDrama.Org - ?.
Grace’s voice came from upstairs: “Edgar,e to the study.”
He immediately changed into his clothes and went upstairs. Upon opening the study door, he saw
Grace still working at theputer. Because she had drunk red wine, her cheeks had a blush. making
her even more charming, but her eyes were clear.
Seeing him enter, Grace spoke in a deep voice, “Go make a cup of coffee.”
Sote, drinking coffee?
Edgar frowned, wanting to dissuade her, and said, “You drank alcohol tonight. Rest early. Drinking
coffeete at night and staying up is not good for your health.”
Grace frowned and gave him a cold look, saying. “Go quickly.
The talent show woulde to an end the day after tomorrow, and for the final round, she nned to
do a live broadcast. Therefore, these next two days were crucial for finalizing the n, and she didn’t
trust anyone else to handle it.
Edgar saw the determination in her eyes. She always had her own ideas, and once she decided
something, she rarely changed her mind.

stay up as long as you want to. I’ll apany you.”
Edgar turned and went downstairs to the kitchen. After brewing the coffee without saying a word, he
noticed that the sugar packets were empty.
Remembering the few packages in his room, Edgar returned to his room and randomly picked one,
cing it in the coffee cup tray.
