Chapter 127
Brian nodded slightly. “I understand.”
Marshall pointed at the sofa. “Sit down. Let’s sit down and talk.”
Brian walked to the sofa and sat down.
Marshall then continued, “Louise was indeed a little impulsive to go overseas alone this time. But girls are like this. It’s fine if she throws a tantrum once in a while. However, I hope that this will not affect the relationship between our two families. A man should know when to yield and when to stand his ground. If Louise chose to run, you could chase after her! Louise has been alone for so many years. I only hope that she can be happy now.”
Brian nodded. “Mr. Adkins, I understand what you mean. Don’t worry. Everything that happened this time is my fault. I’ve let Louise down. I’ll take good care of the company while she’s not around and find her as soon as possible.”
A smile appeared on Marshall’s face. “Alright, Brian. You’re still as sensible as ever.”
“It is what I should do.”
Knock, knock, knock!
There was a knock on the door. Grace walked to the door vigilantly and peeked through the peephole. When she saw that it was Justin, she opened the door with relief.
Aldough she no longer had anything to do with Brian, she was unsure if Louise would still think of ways to harm her.
After all, Grace was living alone and was pregnant. It would not hurt to be exceptionally careful.
The moment the door opened, a large bouquet of beautiful red roses appeared in her field of
vision.
Grace was stunned.
Justin smiled warmly. “Do you like it?”
Grace smiled awkwardly. “Thank you, but…”
“But what?” Justin frowned. “Don’t you like it?”
Grace shook her head. “No… It’s just that it’s not good for me to accept your flowers.”
A trace of loneliness appeared on Justin’s face. “Grace, are you not even going to give me a chance to pursue you?”

Chapter 127
Helpless, Grace took the flowers from him and turned around. “Come in and sit.”
She poured a glass of water for Justin and said to him solemnly. “Justin, I’m a woman with a child. We’re not suitable for each other. Don’t give me flowers again.”
Justin smiled. “It’s my business who I decide to pursue, and it is your business if you reject me. Don’t say such things in the future, okay?”
“Alright, can you be good and listen to me?” Justin interrupted her gently.
“Can you accompany me to a cocktail party the day after tomorrow?” Justin then asked.
Grace looked at him in surprise. “Huh? What cocktail party?”
Justin was silent for a while.
He then said in a deep voice, “Actually, it’s my father’s birthday. I don’t have a good relationship with my father. I didn’t want to go back for his birthday this time, but my grandfather had always hoped that my father and I could bury the hatchet
It was Grace’s first time seeing a cold expression on Justin’s face. It seemed that his relationship with his father was really not good.
“Then, why do you want me to accompany you?”
Justin looked at her. “My grandfather is old and in poor health. He might not last another two years. He had always hoped I could get a girlfriend as soon as possible.”
Grace understood what he meant. Justin wanted her to be his shield.
Back then, Brian also used her as a shield when his family urged him to get married….
Justin saw the change in her expression and asked, “What’s wrong? Are you unwilling?”
Grace shook his head. “Nothing. I’m just worried that it’s not good for us to lie to an old man like this.”
“Don’t worry. He doesn’t have the energy to care about me.”
