    Her heart felt like it had skipped a beat, and his eyes almost


    seemed to see right through her.


    “Brian.” Grace took a deep breath. This time, instead of calling


    him Mr. Hart, she said his name. “Yes, I do hope you won’t fall in love with me. I just want to live a


    peaceful life and not y


    any more games.”


    He said earnestly, “I’ve never thought of my love for you as a game. If you think I’m not serious enough,


    then tell me what I have to do to make you think I’m serious.”


    She bit her lip slightly. “I’m tired. I really have no strength to

    love anymore.”


    “Then I’ll love you. You can love me when you have the strength. I just hope you’ll stop rejecting me,”


    he said.


    She looked at him in confusion. “Why must it be me? I have no family background and was even


    imprisoned for three years. Besides, I’m not the one you were looking for.”


    However, she spoke thetter part with some guilt.


    “Yes, why must it be you?” murmured Brian as he lifted his finger and stroked her cheek.


    startled by his gaze. His dark phoenix eyes were full of


    self-mockery and longing that could not dissolve.


    “As you said, you have no family background and were even imprisoned for three years. You’re also


    not the one I’ve been looking for. If I could choose who to fall in love with, then I indeed have many


    better choices than you. However…” Hist voice paused, and his fingers brushed softly between her


    eyes.


    He said, “Since I still love you anyway, that means I love your for you and nothing else. You asked me


    why must it be you. I can’t give you the reason. I only know that it would pain me to see you hurt,


    frighten me to find you missing, and terrify me when I know you might be in danger. Isn’t that proof that


    I love you?”


    Grace felt as though something was stuck in her throat. She did not know how to respond to his words.


    “If you really don’t love Jason, can you give me a chance?” he muttered cautiously.


    Grace only then seemed to havee back to her senses. She took a step back and avoided his


    fingers. “But Brian, I won’t fall in love with you, so there’s no need for such a chance.”


    His hand felt somewhat empty. He closed his hand andughed at himself. “Only you would refuse me


    again and again. Even if you don’t love me now, how do you know you won’t someday? Just as I never


    thought that one day, I would


    She was stunned. ‘Is it possible… to fall in love with this man someday? However, why does Jason’s


    facee to mind?”


    If she had chosen to conceal the fact that she was the little girl he had been looking for for Jason’s


    sake, then she was now.


    continuing to conceal the fact in hopes that he would not cling


    to her.


    ‘He’s Bryn, the boy who went through thick and thin with me.


    when we were little. He’s Bryn, the boy who kept a promise. and searched for me for so many years!


    Since she could not give him the love he wanted, she might as well continue keeping the lid on it.


    If possible, she hoped he could find a woman who was worthy


    of his heart, instead of wasting his time on someone who was


    already scarred and could no longer love like her.


    Ste reached the floor where the president’s office was to see Brian. However, she was stopped by


    his secretary. “Miss. Lindsay, President Hart isn’t in his office right now. Please wait


    outside if you want to see him.”
