Chapter 206

Daisy rolled her eyes at Carson. “Don’t I know?”
She pushed Carson away and walked to Brian. She cleared her throat and said, “From what you’re saying, Grace got on the plane while pregnant with your child. That’s two lives. She must have left because o you, so you have to take responsibility for Grace’s death! I won’t say much more. 160 thousand dollars has to be compensated!”
Carson glared at her. “You’re still thinking about money at a time like this!”
“Am I wrong? What’s wrong with thinking about money? Should we let Grace die for nothing?”
Brian suddenly said, “I’ll transfer the money to you tomorrow.”
After saying this, he turned around and left.
Brian returned to the villa. He had not slept for almost the entire night, but now that he was lying on the bed, he did not feel sleepy at all.
His mind was frighteningly clear.
This situation frightened him. He went downstairs to get a few bottles of wine and returned to the bedroom. He sat on the ground and downed half a bottle in one go.
He drank until he fell asleep on the ground drunk.
After he sobered up, he continued drinking. Melvin went upstairs and called him three times, but he scolded Melvin away.
It was already dark when a car stopped at the entrance of the villa.
Ava got out of the car, walked to the door of the villa, and pressed the doorbell.
Melvin opened the door. When he saw Ava, he frowned and asked, “Miss Adkins, why are you looking for Mr. Brian so late at night?”
Ava glared at him and said impatiently, “What does it have to do with you? Open the door!”
Melvin’s eyes turned cold. He had indeed asked because he did not want to open the door for her.
Ava walked in and asked, “Where’s Brian?”
“Mr. Brian is already asleep.”
Ava looked upstairs suspiciously. “So early? I’ll go up and take a look.”
Melvin wanted to stop her, but after hesitating for a while, he shut his mouth.
Ava walked to the bedroom door and raised her hand to knock. After thinking for a moment, she put down her arm, opened the door, and walked in.
The smell of alcohol hit her in the face. Ava frowned and walked in.
“Brian?”
Brian curled up on the ground as if he had fallen asleep. Ava walked up to him, squatted down, and called out tentatively, “Brian?”
Brian didn’t give any response.
Ava reached out and touched his face. Just as she was about to help him up, he suddenly grabbed her wrist.
“Don’t go…”
Ava’s heart skipped a beat. “Bri… Brian, I’m not leaving. I’m here. Do you want me?”
Brian closed his eyes tightly. Even in his sleep, his brows were tightly furrowed as he held her hand tightly.
Ava gulped and looked at him. This was a good opportunity!
She leaned down and touched his lips with hers. Since he didn’t respond, she came to his ear and kissed his earlobe.
“Brian…”
Brian suddenly grabbed her wrist and opened his eyes.
Ava’s heart skipped a beat when she met his gaze. She subconsciously explained, “Bri… Brian, I’m sorry, I…”
“Grace…”
Brian looked at the woman in front of him with blurry eyes.
Ava was stunned. She gritted her teeth. Grace’s death had actually made him so dispirited!
He was even calling Grace’s name in his dreams!
Ava gritted her teeth and said, “It’s me. I’m Grace. I’m back. Brian, let’s go to bed, okay?”
Brian smiled and nodded obediently. “Okay.”
Ava helped him up with a smile and lay on the bed.
“Brian, I’ll help you take off your clothes.”
