Chapter 73
Grace hurriedly hugged Brian’s neck and asked, “Where are we going?”
Brian frowned and looked at Grace. “Aren’t we going to eat?”
“I… I want to go to the bathroom,” Grace mumbled softly.

Brian didn’t know what to say in response.
After pausing for a few seconds, Brian turned around and carried Grace into the bathroom.
Grace used the bathroom awkwardly and then slowly walked out with her hand on the wall. Brian was waiting for Grace outside. When Brian saw Grace coming out, Brian was about to step forward, but Grace reached out to gesture for Brian to
stop.
“It’s okay, I can walk on my own,” said Grace.
Brian glanced at Grace coldly and walked ahead with his hands in his pockets.
Brian called Nancy, and the three of them went to a nearby restaurant.
Nancy sat opposite Brian. Although Brian did not say a word throughout the meal, Nancy could feel the huge strain due to the presence of Brian.
After two bites, Nancy couldn’t eat anymore, looking nervously at Brian and Grace opposite her.
Grace did not have much of an appetite either. At the thought of returning to Capern City, Grace felt depressed. However, for the sake of the baby in the belly, Grace still had to eat more.
Seeing that Nancy had put down her fork, Grace asked, “Nancy, are you full?”
Nancy shook her head and nodded. “Yes, I’m full,” Nancy replied.
Brian suddenly picked up a piece of fish for Grace and said in a deep voice, “We’re not going back to the villa. We’re going back to Southbay Residence.”
Grace was stunned. What Brian meant was that Brian would not let Grace stay in the villa when Grace returned. Instead, Brian would let Grace stay in the apartment where Grace used to live.
Grace picked up some fish and placed it in her mouth as if all the frustration in her heart was gone in an instant. Then Grace started to chomp on the spaghetti on her plate.
Nancy looked at Brian’s face and felt that Brian was in a better mood. Seeing that Brian was about to finish eating. Nancy called out tentatively, “Mr. Francis.”
Brian looked up at Nancy and replied coldly, “Let’s talk about it when we get back to the company.”
Nancy’s heart sank even more.
On the way back to Capern City, Brian did not say a word. Grace sat in the back seat and squeezed Nancy’s hand, giving Nancy a reassuring look.

Chapter 73
The car stopped outside Southbay Residence. Nancy wanted to get out of the car and take a taxi back home.
Nancy grabbed the car door uneasily and hesitated for two seconds. In the end, Nancy closed her eyes and decided to go all out.
“Mr. Francis, this time it was my mistake to let Miss Sherman get hurt. I promise I won’t make the same mistake again. I’m willing to accept any punishment. Can you please give me another chance?” Nancy begged sincerely.
Brian casually lit a cigarette. “Ms. Patel, do you know how serious the consequences of this mistake can otherwise be? You’re not suitable to work for the Francis Group anymore. Go to the finance department tomorrow to draw your salary.”
Grace did not expect Brian to be so harsh on Nancy.
“Brian… You can’t blame Ms. Patel for that,” Grace said.
Nancy held Grace’s hand and patted it gently. Nancy then gave Grace a smile and got out of the car.
Brian drove the car into the underground parking lot of the residence.
Brian got out of the car first and walked to the elevator. Grace followed him slowly.
After sending Grace home, Brian was ready to leave, not giving Grace a chance to plead for forgiveness for Nancy
Grace quickly grabbed Brian’s wrist and called out, “Brian. I hope you can let Ms. Patel stay. If she had gone downstairs alone today, the same thing would have happened, Besides, it is Ms. Patel’s job to keep me company, but she’s not obligated to ensure my safety.”
Brian frowned, looked at Grace, and said, “Grace, I advise you to stay out of it.”
