Chapter 61
Three years ago, at the school gate, I saw an old lady lying on the side of the road, and no one around her was stepping forward to help. Some people were even filming, accusing her of fraud
I couldn’t stand it, so I called an ambulance and went with her to the hospital, making sure she was okay before I left.
I would have almost forgotten this little incident if Tom hadn’t mentioned it today.
“Do you remember now?” He smiled.
I nodded, suddenly realizing. “So, you helped me because of that…”
He gave me a knowing look and said faintly, “I suppose so…”
Η
Now that I had the full explanation, the mease in my heart finally settled.
Before long, the car stopped in front of the company building.
I quickly thanked him and got out of the car.
Just as I was about to close the door, Tom leaned against the steering wheel, his slightly open collar giving him an even more carefree, wild air. “Grace, see you tonight”
His words were quite ambiguous, but given that we now lived across from each other, we would indeed see each other daily.
1 froze for a moment, then nodded quickly. “Drive safely.”
He lazily waved his hand as the window rolled up, and the car sped away.
“Grace?”
Just then, I heard someone call my name from behind. Tuming around, I saw Joseph standing nearby with a slight frown.
I remembered the opera tickets he gave me yesterday and quickly took them out of my bag “Joseph, here are the tickets you gave me…” He pursed his lips. “Was that person your boyfriend?”
I was taken aback and quickly shook my head. “No, he’s my senior from university.”
He seemed to relax and then smiled, asking, “So, do you have a boyfriend?”
That was when I realized what he meant. “I’m married.”
“Ah?” Joseph looked shocked. “You… You’re married?”
I nodded
He pursed his lips, clearly disappointed, but still managed a forced smile. “I see… How—”
Before he could finish, I heard someone call my name.
“Grace!
When I heard that familiar voice, my heart skipped a beat. I furrowed my brows and looked toward the source of the sound.
Gavin was standing before a car, frowning as he looked at me
After not seeing him for a few days, he looked somewhat worn out. Yet, his suit still made him look like a business elite, tall and imposing.
“What are you doing here?” I looked at him coldly.
“I need to talk to you,” he said, grabbing my hand
I instinctively pulled away. Before I could speak, Joseph had already stepped in front of me “Who are you? What do you want?
Gavin furrowed his brows and looked at Joseph. With his tall stature and commanding presence, he exuded an aura of authority. “I’m her husband.”
Joseph traze for a moment and subconsciously turned to look at my face.
I parsed my lips and nodded at him.
Joseph bit his lip. “He’s really your husband?”
I quickly spoke up, worried that a conflict would arise between him and Gavin “Joseph, I’m fine. You can head back to the office.”
“Alright, but if anything happens, call me,” Joseph said, still looking at me with concern before he left.
