Brian opened the passenger seat door, but Grace said, “Mr.

Hart, I really don’t have time to accompany you for a meal. If I miss this the last bus, I won’t be able to return to Emerald City tonight.”

His ink-black phoenix eyes stayed fixed on the person in front of him. He said, “If you’re really unwilling to have this meal with me, I can guarantee that you definitely won’t be able to catch any buses tonight.”

Grace choked. She knew Brian’s capabilities. If he really wanted to do this, it would not be hard.

“Why must I have this meal with you?” she asked, puzzled. If this was just an apology for the last meal, it was too extreme.

“Because I have some things to ask you,” he said.

She looked at him dubiously. After considering it for a moment, she got into the passenger seat. If she really were to take this up with him at this time, it would not have much meaning for her.

Besides, she had gone through three years of prison life. She knew a lot more now than back then. She knew that someone like him could easily change another’s destiny.

Just like how he easily made Emily Theller vanish in show business. Emily Theller had even been a star who was quite famous with a whole bunch of fans, but she got shunned by him.

She could not even compare to Emily Theller. She was only a sanitation service worker now. It was a lot easier to destroy her.

For just an instant, Jason’s appearance flashed through Grace’s mind.

If… that day really came, would Jason be willing to lend her a helping hand?

Heavens! What was she thinking!

Grace inwardly mocked herself for the thought that occurred to her just now.

Was she not anxious to no longer have any ties with Jason? After all, his existence to the previous her was like a nightmare. However, just now… She had actually thought about him saving her!

“Why were you at the hospital?” Brian’s voice abruptly sounded in the car.

“My maternal grandmother is sick. I came to visit her,” she said. Even if she did not say it, he could find out with a discreet check.

“Your grandmother lives in this town?” he asked.

“Uh-huh.”

“Then, you…. lived here in the past too?” His voice seemed to carry some hesitation.

“I lived here for some time when I was little, but I went back to Emerald City after becoming a little older,” she said.

“Is that so? Then when you stayed here when you were little, did anything unusual happen?” When he asked this, his fingers that were holding the steering wheel tightened slightly.

“I don’t understand what you mean by ‘something unusual”,” Grace replied. “Moreover, when I was here, I was still little. Even if something unusual had happened, I wouldn’t know or would’ve forgotten about it.”

Brian stayed silent and did not say anything else. The car stopped outside the entrance to a restaurant.

The second Grace saw this restaurant, she recognized it as the well-known hole-in-the-wall restaurant in town. A

majority of those who came here to eat were usually locals.

Outsiders very rarely came here.

This town was not a tourist attraction either. This kind of hole-in-the-wall restaurant would naturally not be as developed as a place in the tourism industry that would have many outsiders checking in.

She had stayed here a good few years when she was little too. Only those who were very familiar with the area would know it. After all, this hole-in-the-wall restaurant had been open for many years. Back when she lived in her maternal grandmother’s house, this restaurant was already here.

Her grandmother even brought her here often to sate their cravings and whatnot.

Grace was a little surprised. She never thought that Brian would actually know this place.

“The dishes here aren’t bad. It’s just that the place is a little crude,” Brian said after he got out of the car. “Speaking of which, you stayed here for some time before. Have you eaten here?”

“I have,” she said.

“Do you like the food here?” he asked.

“It’s alright. The quality for its price is pretty high, and some of their dishes are quite unique.” Actually, she quite liked this restaurant’s dishes. However, to someone like Brian who was used to eating various intricate delicacies, these dishes were too unworthy of being served in front of him.

What Grace did not expect was that when Brian walked into the restaurant, the boss would take the initiative to greet him. “Master Hart, you’ve come again. Every year, I always know that you’ll come over around this time. And this is…”

The boss’s gaze moved to Grace. Although Grace had come here often when she was little, her visits were more irregular in the past ten years. She would only come here when she visited her grandmother. It was only normal for the boss not to remember her.

“A friend,” said Brian.

“Haha, it’s rare to see you bringing friends over. Is it still the usual today, then?” the boss asked.

“A few dishes more than usual. I’ll leave it up to you.” As Brian said this, he brought Grace along to find a table. They sat at a place near the windows.

Grace sat down too, thinking of the earlier introduction Brian gave earlier. She and he could not be considered friends at all.

“Every year, around this time, I will come and have a meal here,” Brian said. “Just like how on this day every year, I’ll go to that hospital and stay there awhile.”

“Is that so,” she said as she leaned forward. She somehow felt that his words were said on purpose for her to hear.

His ink-black phoenix eyes stared at the face in front of him. Brian’s thin lips parted slightly as he resumed saying, “Because back then, I was separated from someone in that hospital. That person told me once that she really liked to eat at this restaurant, so I’ll come to sit here and have their food every year on the day I was separated from her.”

“In that case, I think that person must be someone very important you, huh?” said Grace. Hearing his tone, it seemed that he really missed that person.

“Yes, very important. To me, her life is nearly as important as mine.” His indifferent tone sounded as if he was saying something very natural.

However, Grace was shocked when she heard this.

Brian was this concerned about a person he parted with? Originally, in her eyes, someone like him who constantly changed girlfriends, and was even so merciless to his ex-girlfriends, was immoveable in terms of feelings.

She thought that once a ripple of water appeared in his heart, it would disappear and be like it never existed.

However, at this moment, he was saying that there was someone whose level of importance in his heart was nearly the same as his own life’s. If the media were to hear this, she was not sure what thoughts they would have.

“Since she’s so important, haven’t you tried to find her?” she asked.

He gave a low chuckle. His gaze was still on her as if he was observing her reaction. “I am looking for her. Of course, I am. Only it’s a pity that back in those times, there were many places in this town that didn’t have security cameras. Plus, I only started looking for her after some days passed, so I couldn’t find her.”

His tone carried an obvious regret. How many years had he been constantly searching for this person? As time passed, however, everything only got more and more muddled up.

Sometimes, he could not even help thinking that he would never find this person again.
