Alex knows that the woman in front of him now is the woman he has loved for so many years, no matter what kind of relationship she has with Garrett, he still loves her.

If it wasn't for him leaving Grace alone before, if it wasn't for his tardiness, then she would be his girl.

　　But even now it's the same, he still wants her, no matter what's her idea, he wants her, he wants her to be his girl again.

　Perhaps, he is very selfish, but loving a person isn’t wrong stuff.

Alex stroked her face, "Gracie, are you afraid?" "He found her was trembling, scared and nervous.

"You got me, so don't be afraid." Alex once again kissed her lips, "Gracie, no matter what happened before, today, you are mine, you only belong to mine."

Grace stared at Alex in front of him, reaching out to caress his face, "Alex, so sorry, I will be yours, I love you.” Then her tears blinded her.

"Me too, Gracie?" Alex wants her to feel his presence, and he wants to make the haze that Garrett brought to her disappearance.

Grace also wants to let herself put down everything, whether she was sold to Garrett, regardless of White family's debt of her, she just wants beside her beloved man.

However, when Grace's blindfolded eyes opened, the man in front of her gradually became Garrett.

"Ah! No! Let me go! Let me go! Don't touch me!” Grace pushed him away, Garrett made her afraid, that’s a kind of body that was torn in half pain.

Alex saw her body curling up and crouching in the corner with fear.

"Sorry Gracie, I'm in too much of a hurry." Alex dragged the quilt over her body and carried her into his arms.

Grace sobbed quietly. She still can’t flee from that nightmare, maybe forever?

"Alex, I gonna stay, even just one day better than no." Don't have to be in that such a huge villa, like a cage circling her, even if that room is comfortable, for her, it is a nightmare.

"Nah, more than one day, if you want, you'll live here and no one will know." Alex wants to protect her here every day, and from today on, he will protect her.

But she even doesn’t know how long and far her future is, not to mention how to live on.

Alex has a fiancee, she can't disturb him, she is burdensome.

For she’s encumbrance, so she’s an outcast, even in the White family, she’s also redundant, to this nurturing favor, she’s chosen to listen to Nicholas.

Alex waited until she fell asleep, then let her lie down, and covered her with a quilt, and kissed her forehead lightly before he got dressed. He wanted to buy something for her long-term living, from now on, his Grace gonna live here.

He bought this house with his own money, which should belong to him and Grace.

Garrett returned to the villa, learned that Grace went out, and no one knows where she went, her cell phone did not bring her, and has gone out all day without coming back.

"What the hell is going on with ya all people? Can't remember what I said?" Garrett glared at John and Sarah.

"Sir, Miss Debbie will be back. Maybe she just misses the bus like she did last time." Sarah whispered.

Her's words let Garrett muse. The last time met her on road, which was a coincidence. But this time, he knew that she’s escaped, the woman wanted to escape his control.

Very well! This woman got a lot of balls! Garret sunk on the sofa, once that Alex appeared, she always follows him, he will let her come back here again.

Grace stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling window, there are have been three days, these three days just like a dream as if soon will disappear.

Alex went to work during the day, but he would prepare her breakfast and lunch before going to work and come back together for dinner in the evening.

Such a day just her earnestly longs for, nevertheless, she knows that’s the luxury.

Alex returned to the apartment, saw Grace was standing in front of the window, "Gracie, why you stand here in a daze? It’s a bit boring to be alone? ”

"Not that," she said, “I'm waiting for you!” Grace turned around and pounced to him, her biggest dream was to be the most competent full-time wife, cook her beloved man a bowl of broth.

"What do you want to eat for dinner, I'll do it for you." Alex kissed her face, on the day she came and he lost his control. These days, he is sleeping on the sofa, the master bedroom for Grace.

"I'll eat whatever you do." Grace smiled and said, everything is nothing without him. She is fulfilled with him besides.

After dinner, Grace leaned in Alex's arms, “Alex, you come over here every day, what about Miss Jones?"

Been wanting to ask about him for a while, fiancee will one day become a wife.

Alex’s not known how to mention this, Grace was forced into that marriage, then what about him? He also needs to give her an explanation.

"Hey, do you believe me?" Alex hugged the girl in his arms.

"Of course I do." He was the only man she could trust, the only one she could believe.

Alex simply described the encounter with Crystal, and what happened after that. He has a responsibility to Crystal.

But a man can't afford two responsibilities.

"She's beautiful, and she loves you," Grace said to him, if Crystal does not love Alex, then Crystal will not be afraid that she would take Alex away.

"Well, you should know that I have only you in my heart." Alex was afraid that she misunderstands it, afraid that she won’t be happy.

Grace nodded, "Well, I know, I always know that. Look, Alex, I’ve waited for you every day, I knew you come back one day. And I’ve grown up, you said you'd give me my 18th birthday present, but you didn't come back. "She's been waiting for him for so many years that she's lived with that belief.

"I'm sorry. Tomorrow, I'll celebrate your birthday with you okay? Though it had been late for one time, I'll celebrate it with you again, as long as you're not minding that.” Alex didn't come back because Crystal was ill, and he accompanied her to America.

"No, it's never being too late." Grace shook her head, as long as there will be an after, as long as her heart can keep a bit of warmth, she thought that it would not be too late.

Alex suddenly took out a new mobile phone, "Gracie, this is for you, do you like it?"

A white, latest type mobile phone. Grace looked at the phone, just remembered that she left the phone sent by Garrett at the villa.

That's why Garrett couldn’t her, isn't it?

She can only hide for a while, not a lifetime.

"Yes, I like it, thank you." Grace smiled and accepted that buried herself in his arms, she felt happy, literally happy.

Garrett was sitting on the black leather sofa in the middle, Jay stood by. Several men in black stood with sticks in their hands.

Nicholas was kneeling on the ground, liked a drowned mouse. He was caught back by these men. His face was beaten in bruises, "Mr. Garrett, I... I will certainly pay you money, I have been looking for the way. Please be lenient to me for a few days." He kept begging just for less flesh suffering.

"Nicholas, did ya remember the conditions at that time?" The voice of Garrett was cold. Nicholas thought he could escape from his control by fleeing the country, which is absurd. And Nicholas also underestimated the power and ability of his worldwide.

"I haven't forgotten, I can get the money right away." Nicholas immediately tried to stand up and made a gesture to get the money, but was hit down by a stick, the whole body fell directly in front of Garrett.

"Nicholas, your daughter is quite capable, she ran away from me. Do you think that you still can leave here lively?" Garrett half crouched down and said word for word to Nicholas.

That wretched has run away? Nicholas couldn’t believe it to some extent. All is that girl's fault! he yet wants to live longer.

"Mr. Garrett, rest assured, I will immediately get her back, then she will be at your disposal, everything is up to you." Nicholas pulled Garrett's pant leg and made the assurance.

"The deadline is tomorrow, if you can't bring her to me tomorrow, your life will use to offset it. Don't forget, you just took your daughter's life to keep yours." Garrett could snuff out Nicholas directly, but he chose to see his struggling.

He's going to keep shaming her daughter and bringing all the humiliation back.

"Garrett, do you believe that Nicholas will bring that girl back? Will he run away too?” Jay felt that Garrett was over-trusting Nicholas, that guy is not worth believing at all.

"He won't escape, he's not that bold, and he knows he couldn’t live if he run away." Garrett stared at his hastily fleeing back.

Grace’s lived in the apartment for many days, and this was the first day out. Alex’s bought her a lot of new clothes. Today, she put on a set of pale pink chiffon long-sleeved dresses, her long hair was loose.

"Gracie, you're so beautiful." Alex took a white coat covering her, "It's a bit cold outside, don't get cold."

Grace stood in front of the mirror, looking at the set of valuable brand-name clothes on her own body, feeling a little uneasy.

The two went out of the apartment, Alex drove to a restaurant, was unaware that a car was following them all along.

"Miss, Mr. Alex just went into the restaurant.” The driver turned to ask Crystal who was sitting in the back seat of the car.

"No." Crystal has known that Alex these days was being very strange, and he’s canceled a lot of engagement, goes to work being very punctual, but he did not return to their villa, nor back to his original apartment. Originally, he keeps a mistress in a love nest.

That bitch! How dare she keep pestering her man, again and again, she won't let this happen again!

Alex and Grace just sat down in the restaurant, Alex’s phone rang, "Alex, I am Crystie, where are you now, dad asked you to go home for now." ”

　　

"I'll be back later." Then Alex hangs up.

Grace can see that he was a little embarrassed, because of her, he put himself in embarrassed.

"Alex, if you’re in an emergency, you should go. You’ve done so many things for me..." Grace knows that these days Alex has done enough for her, really enough.<

"It doesn't matter, we agreed to celebrate your birthday today." Alex smiled and said, made her rest assured.

A big birthday cake was placed on the table, "Happy birthday, Gracie." She’s turned eighteen, and he wanted to congratulate her personally that day, but he didn't make it back.

"Alex, thank you." When in 18, Grace was alone facing a small cake, shed a night of tears.

Now in such a way to make up, should be considered contented. What else can she expect?

"Well, I hope you don't blame me." Alex felt that he owed her too much, he loved her, but he got nothing giving her, nor the wife position.

Jones's family has a favor for him, so, he can not give up a crystal, but what about Gracie? What are we going to do? The white family will not let her go, not to mention Garrett.

"I'm satisfied for now." Grace smiled and said, "Alex, if you are busy, then just go. I could go back to that villa myself. ”

Alex cut a piece of cake and put it in front of her, "Just eat it. I'll go when you've finished eating this. ”

Grace do not want to delay him too much time, finished the cake in a few mouthfuls, "Alex, this cake is delicious, could you buy me next time?"

"If you want I would buy it for you every day." Alex took a tissue and wiped the cream from the corners of his mouth. Crystal saw everything in her eyes, her hand clasped into a fist. She desperately wanted to torture that bitch.

Grace was sitting alone at the seat, staring at the cake in front of her, this cake is so big, so beautiful, which must be very expensive. She’s a bit reluctant to break this cake. If it won’t get rot, she wants to conserve it permanently.

The red box in front of her was left by Alex, who said she could see after his leaving then he said he wished her to wear it.

She reached out and opened the box, which contained a diamond ring, was that what he had promised her? She can't accept it, she can't!

"YOU SLUT!" When Crystal saw the diamond ring, all the anger erupted in her body, then threw past Grace a slap

"Ms. Jones." Grace stared at Crystal, her cheek was still feeling hot pain.

"Shut up! You're not qualified to call me like that bitch!” Crystal once again flung her another slap.

"Sorry." Grace knew that better life was just luxury stuff, and what she could say was only this word.

Crystal stood in front of her, "You know you sorry for what? You've been pestering my fiance, and you thought a sorry could be an answer?”

She hates people who keep saying sorry without any resolution. What the hell that a sorry can solve? Nothing! Moreover, she just couldn't see this woman being intimate with Alex, she wasn't such a generous woman.

"There’s nothing between me and Alex, literally nothing." Grace doesn’t explain it for her own, she doesn’t want to make an unnecessary misunderstanding between Alex and Crystal because of her.

Although she’s known such a day will come sooner or later, something that does not belong to her has already been doomed.
