Chapter 218
Tina glanced at Brian. Then, she went about her business and chose to ignore him.
Brian frowned, feeling frustrated. He took his wallet out of his bag and gave her a check. “Fill in any numbers you want, and then tell me where Grace is!”
Tina glanced at the check in his hand, and her anger rose. “Don’t look down on me! Do you think I would betray Miss Grace for money?”
Brian was furious and glared at Tina fiercely.
“What? Why are you glaring at me? I’m already being polite by not chasing you out!” said Tina.
Brian held his breath and took the check back. He sized up the shop and realized a partition was upstairs, so he walked upstairs.
Tina’s eyes widened. “What are you doing? Come down!”
Brian turned a deaf ear and went straight up.
The upper floor was about 215 sq. ft. There was a bed, a computer table, and a closet. Although the room was small, it was decorated warmly by Grace.
There was a large box at the end of the bed. There were many maternity supplies and baby supplies inside. Brian walked over and took out a pair of small furry shoes. Brian could not help but smile. He put the shoes back into the box and sat on the bed. He caught a glimpse of a notebook by the bed. He picked it up and flipped it open.
The notebook was Grace’s account book with her beautiful handwriting.
Brian flipped to the last page and suddenly realized it was filled with names.
They should be the names she names her child. There were boy’s and girl’s names, but every surname was Sherman.
Brian gripped the edge of the notebook tightly. The surname made him even more confused about who the child belonged to.
He closed the notebook and opened the drawer of the bedside table. In the drawer were her wallet, bank card, and passport. They were all inside. He smiled. Her valuables were all here. She would come back for sure.
Brian lay on the bed. The entire room was filled with the long-lost fragrance. He closed his eyes. The familiar feeling seemed to relax his mind. He closed his eyes and fell asleep peacefully.
Tina came upstairs to call him at night. “Hey! Get down! The shop is closing!”
Brian glanced at Tina indifferently.
“If you don’t leave, I’ll get someone to get you!” Tina threatened.
Taking a deep breath, Brian opened the drawer and put all the valuables into his pocket before Tina.
Tina’s face darkened with anger at Brian’s behavior. She said to his back, “You are a shameless man!”
Brian stayed in a hotel opposite the flower shop. He chose a room that could see it.
Early the following morning, he saw someone open the door at the window and immediately went downstairs.
Unfortunately, Tina was still the only one in the shop today.
Brian was not in a hurry and waited patiently in the shop.
He waited for three whole days.
Grace also stayed at Tina’s house for three days. In the end, she couldn’t take it anymore. She didn’t bring anything with her and couldn’t run away. She could only accept her fate and go back to the flower shop.
This time, she would make things clear to him and draw a line with him. “Brian, let’s talk.”
Brian looked at her and smiled slightly. He said sarcastically, “You promised me to talk last time, but you ran away without a trace. How can I trust you this time?”
Grace said, “Let’s talk upstairs.”
