Chapter 188


    A proud man like him would never allow such a thing to happen.


    "So, you''re only willing to see me just to prove to me that you’ll never agree no matter how much I beg,

    right?" She said those words with much difficulty.


    His lips curved into a sharp smile. He lifted one hand and lightly swept away some stray strands of hair


    along her forehead, tucking them behind her ear using his long fingers. "Back then, you said that you


    didn’t want to stay by my side and that you didn’t need me to help you change your destiny. You said


    you would not regret it..."


    His actions exuded elegance while his voice was so gentle.


    He bent his waist and positioned his lips by her earlobes, breathing effortlessly.


    She could feel his breath blowing at her throat and neck region.


    That made her stiffen her whole body as if a huge boulder was on her chest, leaving her out of breath.


    "I''m only seeing you because I want to let you understand what a joke it was when you said you would


    not regret it." He was staring right at her.


    At that moment, it was as if she had fallen into ake of icy cold water.


    Indeed, what a joke.


    Grace could not remember how she left Jason''s ce.


    From the very beginning, he had not nned on giving in to her request. As for her, she did not have


    any right to request anything from him.


    That meeting was just her seeking shame.


    The next day at work, Grace could not bring herself to focus. Her mother''s rtives called to inform


    that her maternal grandmother''s condition had worsened. The olddy had awakened, but she was not


    of sound mind and kept requesting to see her sons. There were also some things that she could not


    remember well.


    The doctor informed that Grace''s grandmother was suffering from Alzheimer''s disease, and it was


    progressing very fast. Usually, it took a person years to reach such a severe stage, but she had


    progressed so rapidly and might continue to worsen.


    Grace''s heart felt heavy.


    That side of her family pack had dissolved rapidly. It would only get worse.


    It was as if there were only bad situations in her life, and there was no hope for her future.


    "Grace, the doctor also said to let your grandmother see your uncles as soon as possible to help with


    her condition. How much longer do you want to lock them up?!" Her rtives were just short of


    using her of being heartless.


    Grace bitterly smiled. The situation now was not under her control!


    At the end of the day, Grace dragged her exhausted self out and was prepared to head home when


    Gus blocked her path. "Grace, I''ll... I''ll send you home. I have a car. It''s no trouble to drive you back."


    Gus blushed slightly when he said that.


    Grace looked at the man in front of her, wondering how she should handle the situation to avoid hurting


    such an honest man. She knew that Gus had some feelings for her. She needed to reject him.


    She was not suitable for this man. If she epted his kind gesture, that may do more harm to him.


    "It''s okay, I don''t live far from here. It''s just a short walk," Grace replied to him.


    "But you don''t look too good right now," he anxiously said.


    "I''m fine. Really," Grace said before walking past him and headed out of the Sanitation Service Center.
