Chapter 227

Grace turned her head and avoided his touch.
“Finish your spaghetti, then leave,” said Grace.
Grace was tired of saying such things. She knew Brian would not let her off.
Brian lowered his head and quickly finished the spaghetti on his plate. However, he had no intention of leaving.
Grace suddenly broke down. She cried at the table with her heart out.
Brian’s heart twitched. He did not know what to do for a moment. He raised his big hand above her shoulder, but it didn’t fall on her shoulder for a long while.
When Grace was done crying, she looked up at him with her swollen, red eyes and punched him on the arm several times. “Brian Francis, haven’t you hurt me enough? What do I owe you?”
Brian frowned. “When did I hurt you?”
Grace stared at him in disbelief. “What? You don’t want to admit it because I didn’t have anything on you? Ever since I escaped from Silrow City, you’ve been sending people to follow me, planting a tracker in my suitcase, drugging me, sneaking into my house to steal all my cash, and pretending to be a delivery man to knock me out! If Justin hadn’t rushed back in time, I’m afraid I would have died in Seefer City!”
Brian’s frown deepened. “What are you talking about? I sent someone to follow you?”
Grace looked at him and sneered. “Brian, stop pretending!”
Brian was dumbfounded. Her mind was filled with questions.
He looked at her solemnly. “Grace, I know I’m a cold and heartless man in your eyes, but I’m not that evil!”
Grace could not listen to him at all. She stood up agitatedly. “You still want to quibble! My child is a stumbling block to you and Louise. Only you have a reason to harm my child!”
Brian frowned at her. “Grace, listen to me. I never wanted to harm your child!”
Grace covered her ears. “Stop talking! It’s you! You devil!”
Brian grabbed her arm and said, “Grace Sherman! Listen to me! This is a serious matter. Tell me what the person who has been following you looks like?”
Grace sneered. “Brian, aren’t you tired? What’s there to pretend in front of me? You can crush me like an ant.”
Brian stared at her with a deep gaze. “Yes! You’re right. If I wanted to kill you, it would be like crushing an ant. Why wouldn’t I bring you back if I knew where you were?”
“Because you don’t want to get rid of the child in my belly secretly!” Grace yelled frantically.
Brian pressed between his eyebrows. “Grace Sherman! Can you calm down? In your eyes, am I the kind of man who would harm an unborn child?”
His voice was louder than hers, and Grace gradually calmed down.
Upon seeing Grace gradually calm down, Brian began to explain to her seriously, “I’ve been looking for you since the day you escaped from the hospital, but I’ve never been able to find you. “And again. All the time, I have been looking for you, not to get rid of your child in your belly but to find out whose the child is!”
Grace said without thinking, “The child is not yours! How many times do you want me to say it?”
Brian was silent for a while before saying, “Everything has to wait until the child is born and has a paternity test.”
