"At least they weren't wasteful. Isn't this just using everything to the fullest?" Zaden said in a mocking manner. Although he had a smile on his face, he seemed cold and dangerous, making one feel scared. His subordinate lowered his head and waited for Zaden's next order, but he just waved his hand and said, "All right, you go back first. I'll inform you later if there's anything." "Yes, Mr. Andrew." The subordinate left quickly. The existence of this warehouse was enough to prove that the Coulson family indeed had a part in the kidnapping of Gentry. No matter how they argued, it was impossible to change that fact. "In other words, the person who kidnapped my brother is indeed Moira," Grace said slowly after listening to Zaden's words. It was what she had guessed before, but after making sure, it made Grace feel very disappointed. She had always felt that Moira hated her because of Zaden. However, she had never imagined that Moira's hatred wou
Fifty thousand dollars. This was the first time Grace had received so much money. The five hundred thousand before didn't count. It had passed through her hands once, after all, and she didn't even have time to understand what it was like. However, was giving her money the end of it? Rather than financial compensation, Grace was more willing to see Moira be punished by the law. "Do you think you can do whatever you want just because you're rich?" Grace's expression was calm, but her question caused her heart to beat faster for some reason. "Moira wasn't happy, and she kidnapped Gentry. If it wasn't for you, perhaps I wouldn't have found him. Gentry might've been hurt. But now, with fifty thousand, everything has come to an end. Are we supposed to act like never happened?" Grace felt that this world was different from what she had imagined. She smiled and continued, "Also, I got this money because of you, right?" Zaden found it hard to answer th
Grace was impressed. She was lecturing him, but this person was being playful and showing no regret for his actions at all. This won't do. "Look at me!" Grace forcefully shook Zaden's shoulders and made him look straight into her eyes. She said, "I'm talking to you nicely. This is really not good. At least, you can't bite my lips swollen anymore. It's too shameful. Even Douglas and Dulcie can see it. Fortunately, they still don't understand!" When it came to this point, Grace's intention to beat Zaden up came to mind again. "What's the big deal?" Zaden didn't take it seriously at all. He said, "It's more shameful to have no one to kiss, isn't it?" "..." Gu Jinxi was speechless. Had she been talking to a brick wall? "Are you listening to me carefully?" Gu Jinxi was furious. "Baby," Zaden quickly pecked Grace's face and immediately parted as he said with a smile, "I've always been listening to you seriously, haven't I? Right, shall we take a bath
This time, it was Grace's turn to be shocked. "Y-you should understand what I'm saying, right?" Grace asked cautiously. There was a thorn in her heart that she had not spoken frankly about before, but as an adult, she had the intellect and emotional intelligence, so it was impossible for Zaden to not understand her. "Nonsense,span " Zaden said with an expression that suggested that he thought she doubted his intelligence/span.span /span "Isn't that a problem worth struggling over?" Grace raised her head and stared unblinkingly at Zaden. She didn't want to miss out on the slightest change in his expression as she asked, "Don't you feel any discomfort in your heart?" Zaden sighed. He could only imagine how much pressure Grace had been under these past few days,span having all her wild imagination/span. Perhaps it was because he hadn't done well enough in that he hadn't given Grace enough sense of security. If it hadn't been for his interrogation that day,
"Dulcie looks like me?" Taken aback, Grace stared at Dulcie. She frowned and said, "No... I think she just looks cute like all kids do. Why do you say that?" "Just like all kids? Look at her eyes and mouth. She really resembles you. Look carefully!" Gentry insisted. Grace fixed her gaze on Dulcie. However, she could not see the resemblance. Dulcie didn't really know either, but she was overjoyed at what her uncle said. "Really, really?" Dulcie asked Gentry, "Do I really look like my mom?" "That's right." "Wow, I'm really happy then! My mom is beautiful, so when I grow up I'll be as beautiful as her! Yay!" Dulcie felt a sense of accomplishment at the confirmation of her eventual beauty. Douglas, who was wise beyond his years, also stared at his sister and mother. Then, he nodded and said, "Yes, I agree." Grace had nothing to say to that. She spread out her arms and shrugged her shoulders, as if to say, "Okay, one against three.
Even the servants in the villa had already familiarized themselves with Gentry. "It's the weekend tomorrow." Dulcie nestled up in Gentry's arms and asked, "Do you need to go to school?" "What, little rascal, do you want me to take you to do bad things again?" "Take me and Douglas out to play tomorrow, okay?" Dulcie leaned against Gentry's ear and quietly made a request of him. "No problem." Gentry also answered her in a low, hushed tone, like it was a secret between the two of them. Hence, the next morning, after Gentry got up and washed up, he went straight to Grace's place and had his breakfast there. He had gotten used to living there recently, but Gentry found it difficult to acclimatize himself to eating there. The surrounding stores simply existed for the rich. All the goods sold were high-end products. Even in a random restaurant, if you wanted to eat something to fill your stomach, you had to pay hundreds of dollars, at least. Tha
"It's really strange." Zaden said with a smile, "You can even tell that?" Gentry continued paying Zaden no mind. He implored, "Grace, let's stop this." When he heard that, Zaden's face fell. In a serious tone, he said, "Gentry, can't you be more reasonable with your words and actions? I won't quibble with you over other things, but it's too much for you to incite your sister to break up with me." Gentry was silent. To be frank, he didn't think it was right too. But how could he not worry when he saw his sister sleeping with Zaden, a playboy high up in society? "Are you going to follow what your younger brother says?" Zaden asked Grace. span Grace/span, who was sandwiched between the two men, felt a headache coming on. Reasonably judging, Zaden really had not done anything wrong. It made Gentry's unreasonableness all the more apparent. "Gentry, you're overthinking." Since Grace felt that the biggest contradiction at hand was Gentry's impression
"Just go," Gentry persuaded Grace. "We can't lie to them, it'll leave a mark on their young hearts. They will regard adults' words as unreliable." Although it was a little exaggerated, adults were indeed role models for children. If they did not fulfil their promises, the children would be very disappointed. "Then why did you agree to their request yesterday?" Grace asked in a defeated tone. "This is an exception!" Gentry exclaimed. "Who could have foreseen this? No, sis, why don't you want to pick them up?" Grace didn't voice her concerns out, so Gentry wouldn't have to fret about her. It was true that the children needed her and they should not break the promises they had made. Hence, Grace she had no choice but to bite the bullet. "Fine then, go help that friend of yours. I'll fetch the kids." "Thanks, Grace!" It turned out that the more you fretted over something, the more likely it was to happen. Grace met the last person she
