Through the ghostly mask, Grace saw the intense erosion in his dark eyes, as threatening as an eagle,
and her heart skipped a beat.
Eder directly approached her in front of the onlookers and rubbed his nose against hers intimately.
Then, using a voice only the two of them could hear, he said, “Grace, please don’t me me. Since
you refused to listen to my exnation, I had no choice but to resort to this.”
“You…”
Before she could continue speaking, Eder immediately pressed his thin lips against hers, kissing her
directly
Grace didn’t move. Originally, she only wanted to cooperate with him in front of everyone, but his kiss
stirred up her emotions, causing her to forget herself and she involuntarily closed her eyes, kissing him
back with their breaths intermingling.
The two of them were locked in a deep kiss at the entrance of the banquet hall, in a princess carry
position.
Instantly, there were continuous exmations from the scene.
Many people even took out their phones and snapped pictures.
Since it was a charity evening with invited and famous celebrities, there were quite a few media outlets
present.
shlights quickly positioned themselves immediately capturing this epic moment, no one wanted to
miss such a huge moment
Many socialites were almost jealous to death!
“They are so sweet! Mr. Storm is so domineering and such a perfect boyfriend material, they are simply
a perfect match!”
“Wow! A princess carry kiss, so romantic! Why don’t I have an unmarried fiance like Mr. Storm?”
“This scene is just too beautiful. Is this charity evening a trap to deceive and kill us with dog food?!”
“Ah, I’m so envious. Please, God, bless me with such a sweet romance!”
Tom had been waiting in the hall for Grace to return from the restroom. When he came out to look for
her, he just happened to witness this scene.
He stared at Grace’s lips being kissed by Eder and almost fainted on the spot,
Damn it! Such an inconsiderate person! How outrageous!
Ava had just walked out of the garden path, and her dress was dirty. She was nning to go to the
business car and change into another gown when she witnessed the scene at the entrance of the
banquet hall
However, as she stood on the path, under the dim lights, and no one saw the sarcastic smile on her
face.
Amidst the discussions of admiration and jealousy from the crowd.
Eder and Grace finally ended their long kiss at the charity event.
Eder’s lips were stained with Grace’s lipstick, creating a striking contrast with his silver–grey ghostly
mask
In front of so many people, Grace used her thumb to wipe off the lipstick marks, maintaining his

Eder’s chest was immediately filled with happiness and he was satisfied with her actions, so he held
her even tighter in his arms. “Let’s go home!”
The media and the crowd automatically made way, and all the cameras focused on the two of them.
capturing the whole scenes with clicking sounds.
Grace didn’t like being weirdly observed by people. She buried her face in Eder’s chest, appearing
exceptionally dependent and gentle tonight.
That evening, the news of Tristan Barrow’s affair was overshadowed by a series of headlines of the big
scene that had happened at the event.
The photos of Eder and Grace sweetly kissing at the charity event quickly swept across major
headlines.
The two of them were hailed as the sweetest unmarried couple of the aristocracy.
With their good looks and the support of their sweet–loving fans, the entire inte quickly rallied,
chanting behind them,
“Get married! Get married!”
At that moment, the two central figures of the topic, having just gotten out of the car and returned to the
Grant’s residence, entering the vi one after another.
Eder lowered his head and silently followed Grace into the room, his face devoid of the dominance he
disyed at the charity event. His dark eyes nervously fixated on her slender back.
Once inside the room, Grace sat on the edge of the bed and started ying with her phone, treating a
certain someone as if he were air.
Eder still clung to a glimmer of hope so he sat beside the bed, close to her and weakly touched her
wrist, starting to exin for himself.
“I was wrong, but I really distanced myself from her. When you caught us, it was at that moment that
she sprained her ankle and was about to fall. After all, she’s thepanion I brought, the
spokesperson for the Rossi Project, and the face of the new project for the Grant family. I couldn’t just
let her fall, so I helped her up.”
Grace remained expressionless, still looking at her phone,pletely ignoring his existence.
Eder continued, “Who knew she would take advantage of the situation and cling to my arm? I was
tricked by her!”
As soon as he finished speaking, he could almost instantly feel the anger emanating from Grace and
he quickly changed the subject, “I’m not trying to shift the me by saying all this. I didn’t live up to my
promise to you, it’s my fault. My ability to discern deceit is still not mature enough, but I’ll quickly
improve it so that this kind of thing won’t happen again!”
“And tonight, when I kissed and hugged you at the entrance of the banquet hall without your
permission, it was because you wouldn’t listen to my exnation. Considering that it would make the
headlines, benefiting the stock market of both the Grant and Smith families, can you please not be
angry?”
Grace’s anger didn’t diminish, and her expression grew increasingly cold.
As he realized that he couldn’t get through to her, Eder felt a heavy weight in his chest and lowered his
eyes in disappointment.
It seemed she was very angry with him, and he had hoped to avoid a beating…
He got up and walked to the bedside table, opening the top drawer, and taking out a redwood ruler,
he handed it over to Grace
“Here, your family’s disciplinary instrument.”
Grace didn’t take it, so he simply tried stuffing the ruler into her hand.
“Although I’ve already thrown away the suit and gloves she touched, if you still have a grudge in your
heart, use this to beat me and vent your anger. Even if you end up breaking my arms, I won’t
utter a word.”
Grace still remained silent, her eyes never leaving her phone.
Eder stood quietly for a while, seeing herck of response, then turned around and opened the
wardrobe, taking out the high quality washboard Grace had custom made for him and cing it on the
carpet by the bed.
Then he rolled up his pants, revealing the bruised knees that had been tortured by the washboard.
Although Grace was focused on her phone, she subconsciously noticed his actions, and her gaze
involuntarilynded on his injured knees,
However, when her gaze reached his kure, her pupils trembled.
She saw him about to kneel, and Grace reached out to stop him.
Her intention was to show concern for him, but as the words came out of her mouth, they wereced
with anger.
“Why are you rolling up your pants? Are you intentionally trying to show me your knee and then y
the martyr?”
Eder smiled bitterly, ‘No, I just thought kneeling would hurt more if my pants were rolled up.”
Grace became even more angry. “Do you enjoy being punished? The more it hurts, the more you enjoy
it, right?”
“I don’t like it.” he replied.
He frowned, his eyes filled with grievance. “I just thought if you saw how much pain I was in, maybe
you would let out your anger so you could feel better faster. After all, being angry is harmful to the body,
and I hope your anger will subside quickly.
Eder’s words left Grace feeling uneasy.
Suddenly, a sentence from earlier in the day, spoken by Ava at her office door, inexplicably echoed in
her mind.
“Miss Smith, don’t you think you’ve been unkind to Mr. Storm all along? You only love yourself. you’re
not good to him at all…”
Had she been excessively harsh on Eder, relying on his limitless doting and bing unruly? Had she
been excessively strict with him?
She sighed, her tone bing much gentler, “Sit down and let me see your knee.” She stretched her
hand in the form of a gesture to him while she waited for his respo

Eder noticed the concern in her eyes, and a faint smile appeared at the corner of his mouth as he
allowed her to hold him and sit by the edge of the bed to check his lujury.
“It’s only been half an hour, and it’s already bruised. Did you not apply any medicinest night?”
