After walking a while, Grace brushed shoulders with a passerby and stumbled onto the ground.
Fortunately, her clothes were thick enough, so she did not experience much pain.
Just as she was about to stand up, she felt some hurried steps running toward her. That person quickly helped her up.
Grace took a look and was shocked to see Chase.
“Why are you…”
“My car is just by the roadside. Let me send you home.” Grace may have rejected his offer, but he was still worried about her.
Therefore, he had slowly driven his car while trailing behind her.
“Nevermind, I can get home on my own.”
“You fell so easily after merely brushing past a passerby. How am I to be at ease seeing you go home alone? My car is just by the roadside. If we continue to dawdle here, I’ll get a traffic summon if the police come!”
Grace saw how persistent he was. She sighed and followed him to his car.
Chase drove toward the direction of Grace’s rented place.
“You don’t need to burden yourself by thinking that I expect something in return for sending you home. I know that I’m not capable enough and am unable to match up with your ex-boyfriend. I’m just worried about something happening to you. I’ll be more at ease if I made sure you got home safely,” Chase said earnestly.
“Thanks.” What happened in the past was only like a dream to the present Grace.
Right now, it was she who did not match up to him. Who would dare to marry someone with a criminal record and was released after a jail term?
Chase hesitated. “Two days ago, I saw you getting into a Porsche. If you’ve found a good match, I… I’ll be more than happy for you. However… I’m just worried that you’re getting cheated. You should get to know the person more before…”
Grace interrupted Chase, “That person isn’t someone I’m seeing. I had coincidentally picked up something that belonged to that person, so he bought me lunch as a gesture of gratitude.”
“Oh, I see.” A glimmer of hope rose in his face once again.
Soon, the car arrived at the entrance of Grace’s residential area. She looked at him and said, “Chase, you’re a nice person, but I’m not suitable for you. Don’t waste any more of your time on me. You’ll surely meet someone better in the future!”
“You’re good enough in my opinion.” Chase blushed. “I can wait for you…”
“As what you’ve said just now. My ex-boyfriend is a wealthy person. It’s either I won’t get married, or I’ll need to find someone who can match my ex-boyfriend’s status. That’s why we are not suitable, understand?” Grace put it bluntly.
‘Perhaps this is the only way to make him give up on me.
‘It is better to suffer now when the roots are not as deep yet. Chase is a good person. I would not have said so if not because he was so persistent.’
Chase looked extremely dejected and stared blankly at Grace.
“Alright, I’ll get going. Thanks for today, but you don’t need to send me home in the future anymore.” She opened the door, got out of the car, and headed for the guardhouse.
Behind her, the sound of a car engine was heard distancing away.
Grace paused in her footsteps and slowly turned around. She saw that the car was slowly becoming a small black dot as it traveled further.
‘Perhaps, there will never be any other man who will wholeheartedly treat me well and is not even bothered by my criminal records. The only problem is that I don’t want to drag him down with me.’
She looked until she could not see the car before turning around to head toward her house.
At that moment, she did not notice the black Bentley parked by the roadside not too far away. The person in the car lazily looked out the window with a vague smile as if he was watching something amusing.
Terrence, who was in the front row, nervously looked through the rearview mirror. After observing his boss for a while, he thought, ‘The look on Mr. Reed’s face right now… is a telltale sign that he is about to burst out in anger!’
Terrence inwardly chided Grace, ‘If you’re going home, just go home. Why did you allow another man to drive you home? What will Mr. Reed think about this!
‘At first, I thought that it would be a good thing to let Mr. Reed see Grace. Now, I think I should start praying hard that I won’t be the punching bag in Grace’s stead!
“Mr. Reed, I suppose… Miss Cummins had some matters that she needed someone to send her back.” Terrence broke the silence in the car.
Jason looked at Terrence with an indescribable look. “Why? Are you interceding for her?”
Terrence suddenly felt chills running down his spine and obediently kept his mouth shut.
‘Okay. It looks like the person who needs prayers is Grace!
At the same time, Grace had arrived back at her rented home. She switched on the lights and placed the food that she bought from the canteen for eight bucks on the table. After that, she made her way into the bathroom to wash her hands.
Her pair of hands had always worked in a dirty environment, so they no longer looked smooth and supple like how they used to be.
She only hoped that those words she said today would not be too traumatic for Chase. She then chuckled to herself. If those words did not affect him, then he might continue to waste his time and effort on her.
Whichever way the situation went, it would have its consequences.
She sighed and looked at her reflection on the mirror by the wall. She was swamped with tons of problems herself. Her uncle’s issues, her grandmother’s condition… She did not know what to do anymore.
Grace froze when she came out of the bathroom. Jason was not only sitting by the small table, but he was also playing with a key in his hand.
That key… She had given him that key in the past. When they were at the hospital, she had not asked him to return the key and neither did she change the lock to this house. This made it a breeze for him to walk in as he pleased.
“Why… are you here?” she asked awkwardly.
“If I didn’t come, how would I find out that someone had sent you home?” Jason said as he stood up and naturally walked over to Grace. “The guy who sent you home today is that fella who works as a driver at the Sanitation Service Center?”
Grace was taken aback. ‘He saw Chase sending me home?”
For a moment, she pursed her lips, refusing to say a word.
He walked up to her and grabbed her chin. “Why? Is he the reason why you refused to stay by my side? What is he to you?”
“It’s none of your business!” Grace wanted to look away, but the strength of his grip was extraordinarily strong that she could not even move an inch.
