She stood there, suddenly not knowing what to say. Brian didn''t speak either and just waited quietly for her to give him an exnation.


    He had warned her countless times about Nelson''s malicious intent, asking her not to get too close to him, but she never listened.


    She even told Brian she didn''t believe in his love for her.


    When he heard those words, Brian felt deeply saddened. What more did he have


    to do for her to trust him with her heart?


    Grace stood there for a while, unable to say anything. Finally, she bit her lips, saying, "Why are you here today?"


    In fact, as soon as she said this, Grace regretted it.


    He was angry now, saying this would only make things worse.


    Sure enough, the next moment, Brian red up.


    He stared at her coldly, "Why am I here? Grace, did I interrupt your date with that illegitimate child?"


    "I... I didn''t, Brian. Don''t say such harsh words. It''s not a date."


    "How many times have I told you not to stay with him? Why do you still have to associate with him?" Brian looked at her coldly.


    Grace pressed her brow, helplessly exining, "Brian, I was just discussing work with him today. We recently coborated on a project, and he has helped me a lot in the past, I..."


    "Do you know that thest time mypany got into trouble because of him?" Brian suddenly interrupted her.


    Grace was stunned. "I... I didn''t know."


    Brian pinched his temples, then lowered his voice, stepping forward to gently squeeze her shoulder, "It''s fine, I don''t me you. Just tell me, you won''t have any private contact with him in the future. Once your cooperation with him ends, there will be no more involvement, okay?"


    Grace lowered her eyes and remained silent.


    "Grace, do you know? I''m almost driven crazy by jealousy! Do you know how


    much I love you? Why do you still question my feelings?"


    Grace remained silent for a long while, then slowly pushed him away.


    "I''m just friends with Nelson. Why can''t you ept him? I know, because of his mother, you hardly received any fatherly love when you were young. Even if you two can''t be family, there''s no need to be


    enemies, right?" Grace said.


    "Do you even know what you''re saying?" Brian looked at her disappointedly.


    "Brian..."


    "Enough, Grace. You know that I love you. I will tolerate you again and again, but you have pushed my boundaries," Brian said.


    He chuckled lightly, almost self-mockingly, then turned and left.


    He tolerated her, even this time. He didn''t know what he could do, but he couldn''t bear to lose her. As long as she was willing to stay by his side, she could do whatever she wanted.


    Grace watched his figure disappear, having mixed feelings.


    Nelson approached.


    "It seems like you really hurt his heart this time. It''s a touching love story," he said.


    Grace felt very annoyed, not in the mood to banter with him here. She said lightly, "I have something to do, I''m leaving."


    Grace checked the time and realized


    it was almost time for Austin to


    finish school. She didn''t feel like


    going back to the office, so she went straight to the school to pick up her child.


    Brian didn''te back that night. During dinner, Jasmine called him, he only said


    he was busy, then hung up the phone.
