"Mr. Jones you’re being so kind." Garrett took a wine glass, "What a good day, how can I not take part in it?"

Daniel took a look at the woman beside Garrett: "Mr. Garrett, your female companion is a gorgeous one, seems like I have never met before."

Crystal saw Garrett and Grace while Alex was chatting with the guests, and did not notice that.

"Alex, Garrett is here, we should get over to send a greeting." Crystal smiled and held Alex toward Garrett.

"Mr. Jones, this is my wife." The introduction of Garrett not only made Grace frozen but also Alex who was walking toward them and his wine glass slipped to the ground. A crisp, broken sound was echoed around, all the guests looked upon them.

Wife?

Alex was sure that he was not hearing things, how did Gracie become the wife of another man?

Crystal looked at Alex’s gaffe appearance, sure enough, that he cared about Grace, he gaffes on such occasion, if it were not for holding him beside, he may step forward to take Grace directly away in public?

"Alex, why are you so careless?" Crystal called a waiter and cleaned up the place as fast as possible.

Daniel also saw this unusual situation, but, after all, he was a man has seen this kind of major crush case before, and immediately restored his calm. "Garrett, I would like to introduce you, this is my little girl. And this is her fiance, Alex, also the vice president of APLEX."

Alex looked at Garrett. This man, of course, he knows, who is a big influential man in A city. But, why Grace gets along with this man?

"Mr. Alex, it’s glad to see you." Garrett was much calmer than he was.

"Mr. Garrett, I’d appreciate your kind consideration in the future." Alex fixed on Garrett, who was just a ninja in a blazer, a person who could control everything in the market. What is his current relationship with Grace? And what’s his purpose?

Alex looked at Grace and said, "Gracie, should I congratulate you?" Why didn't she talk about this last time? Why did she make the circumstance so embarrassed?

Garrett’s eyebrows tightened up, Alex called her “Gracie”?

"I, I want to go the bathroom." Grace immediately turned away, stepped with her high heels, almost ran out of the banquet hall with a stagger.

He was engaged, and she was married, what a ridiculous thing to such an occasion, so that they did not even have an opportunity to explain.

Crystal went into the bathroom, took out a powder cake to fix her face, Grace came out and saw her, "Ms. Jones. ”

"Mrs. Smith, you can call me by name. And just by your relationship with Alex, you should not be so chin-chin!" Crystal tucked away from the powder cake, and took out a lipstick to draw, showed a sarcastic smile to Grace.

"Ms. Jones, you've misunderstood our relationship, it is not what you thought. " Grace urgently explained that. Even before, she still had a bit of hope for Alex, and now there is gone.

"It's better, Alex and I are getting married, you should come over with Mr. Garrett." Crystal smiled and said, then she also made an intimate appearance with Grace back to the banquet hall.

"Crystal. " Alex saw this scene but felt very disturbing.

However, Crystal smiled generously, "Alex, Mrs. Smith just blessed us! We should gonna have a toast to her! ”

"Crystal, she can’t..." a word has not spoken out yet, Crystal has handed a glass of wine to Grace, "Mrs. Smith, will you give this face? I’ve heard that Mr. Garrett could drink like no one else, so you shouldn't be too bad either? ”

"Ms. Jones, Mr. Alex, bless you two!" Grace raised the glass and drank it all. How could she refuse for such a reason?

"Mrs. Smith is a real good drinker, I'm gonna done with this too." Crystal also finished it, finally did not target Grace again.

Grace breathed a sigh of relief, silently followed by Garrett's side, face was hanging a stiff smile, seemed like a walking dead. Dizziness and burning filled in her body since she has drunk a few wines. Her thin arms bent on Garrett were also getting heavier, footsteps also becoming feather-footed.

Garrett has sensed this and gave a salutation to the master and was ready to leave. Anyway, such a banquet, he has shown extremely forbearance to attend, and as for the relationship between Debbie and Alex, he also saw that there was no need to stay anymore.

Grace dragged an unstable step, just wanted to walk to the hall door, the body almost collapsed on the ground, Alex wanted to rush forward, but was pulled by Crystal, "Alex, she is the wife of Mr. Smith."

Mrs. Smith? She's Mrs. Smith! She’s been married! Alex stood frozen, watching Garrett was rung her waist, the two seem to be quite close.

As soon as she walked out of the banquet hall, Grace eventually could breathe out a sigh of relief through the long night. This banquet was just like her twelve centimeters high heels, which made her exhausted. She’s walked only two steps, the body suddenly fell to the ground, if not the promenade carpeted, this fall would be more serious.

"Are you that bad at wine?" Garrett bent over to look at her. Her face flushed and even the eyes also became blank. He remembered that she just had one drink all along.

Grace pressed her lip tightly, "You won't believe it whatever I said." He would see that she was pretending, playing a trick, and winning his sympathy, wasn't he?

Garrett rang her waist and held her up without saying a word.

Grace leaned against the car seat, closed her eyes, "I don't want to go back, don't want to go back to the villa, could you let me go?"

Is she drunk? She thought she was awake, and she dared to make this request to him.

Garrett did not answer her until the red light came on, the car parked there, he turned to look at her, "If you tell me the truth, I will let you go, of course, some people have to pay the price."

There was no tenderness in his voice. He is the master of death, so, she couldn’t tell him the truth, there is no way to let him know that she is only the adopted daughter of the White family, she is just a substitute.

"No words? Then you should never raise the subject again, for you haven’t this qualification! "As soon as the green light came on, the car continued to move forward.

She’s no such qualification!

Grace's whole life, she was not qualified to manage her own life, regardless of Nicholas, Debbie, and Garrett, they believed this similar thins.

With silent all the way, until back to the villa, Garrett got off to leave, leaving her alone.

She pushed open the door and fell to the cold ground, trembled with a stomachache, finally vomited.

Grace was helped into the room by Sarah, "Miss White, you should lie down for a while, I'll help you get something to eat."

"Thank you." Her voice was weak it was not because of drinking to become so vulnerable, all for her heart was being too depressed, deep to unlock.

　　　

Grace was fatally ill, recuperated in the villa for more than half a month, her health only slightly recovered a bit. Also, Garrett’s disappeared for more than half a month, did not appear even once in the villa, which was good for Grace, letting her alone rot.

The doctor said that if her pent-up stress can not be solved, she will eventually die for this.

　　　

Everything was lost from her, and now she's just waiting to die here? Is she desperate to get to this extent point?

Took a glance at the bedside mobile phone and turned it on, continuous dozens of text messages incoming, all were from Alex, she should turn on the phone to see these, she should be a click to delete all.

　　

But she still can’t help to read them, to Alex, she has always had feelings ever since she was little, they were childhood sweethearts for many years, he’s left so many years, and she has been waiting for him, her heart only belonged to him, he was her only hope, also her future.

She’s read every single text, it turned out that he knew everything, he knew that she became a Mrs. Smith because of being the substitute of Debbie, and she was being forced.

A phone call came in, looking at the numbers, she hesitated. Took a long time before she picked it up.

"Alex," Grace called his name with a smile.　　　

"you finally turned on. Where are you now? How are you doing? Let's meet!” Alex asked her a series of questions.

"Alex, I'm fine." She is doing good, as long as Alex is living well, she could always keep her happy.

"You're talking nonsense! I know what Garrett is like, he could control people, make them death better than life!" Alex did not dare to imagine how Garrett torture her, make her hurt like hell. And he will torture her as the beloved daughter of the White family, with hatred and resentment.

"Alex, he...he not that bad." Grace didn't know why she thought like that. He's treated her bad, except the bad torment in intercourse, and restricted her freedom. Is he not that bad?

Alex listened to her reluctant smile, pretending tough, she has been such a person all along.

"Well, then tell me, where are you now? Let's have a meet, we should face to face." He need to meet her, if not, he wouldn't believe what she said.

　　

"But..." Grace said with some hesitation. She’s promised Garrett she would not go outside again.

"Hey, you have to get out, I have something important to tell you, just tell me where you live, I'll pick you up." Alex’s checked that before, there are too many villa apartment suites under the name of Garrett, he has no way to know where she’s been arranged.

Grace hesitated that for a long time before nodding, finally agreed to meet Alex in a coffee shop in the city.

It happened to Lee went out to send Sarah to the downtown for procurement, the villa-only left butler and a few other servants, Grace changed a suit and set off.

In the downtown cafe, Alex did not sit in the coffee shop, he waited at the door until an hour later, Grace had just gotten off a taxi.

"Gracie." Alex came forward and took her hands, "Get in the car, let's change to somewhere else." ”

Before she had time to react and already pulled into his car.

"Alex." Grace looked at him inexplicably, why is his look so strange? Is there anything troubling him?

Alex smiled at her sideways and drove off. A few minutes later, the car stopped downstairs nearby an apartment block, he said to Grace "Follow me."

　　

Grace stared at the apartment in front of her, here is brand new, and no one has lived before, "Alex, why you bring me here?"

"Gracie, from today on, you will live here, and I won't let you go back to that villa." Alex pulled her down sinking in the sofa.

"No, Alex." Grace did not expect Alex to have this plan. She can not stay, if Garrett knows, he will not let her go, also along with Alex.

Alex holds her in his arms, "Gracie, why not?" I’ve said you waiting for me until now I could give you an affluent life, give you a lifetime without worries. ”

Grace leaned in Alex's arms, her arms circled on his waist. This embrace was feeling so familiar that she was not willing to let go of it. Nevertheless, she knew that she can not be attached to it.

Alex now was giving the greatest tolerance for her, if she made him unhappy again, not only her, Alex, the whole White family will be ruined.

"Alex, I'm sorry, I'm not being the original one." Grace's tears slipped silently, and wet his shirt.

Alex patted her back, "Gracie, don't cry, don't shed these tears. I want you to smile. ”

Grace shook her head, she could no longer smile happily like in her childhood. Even just a sugar, a piece of chocolate would make her smile brilliantly.

"Well, no matter what happened, you’re still my favorite one. " Who he loves is Gracie, no matter what Garrett did to her, he doesn’t care, he would still love her for life.

　　　

"I, I’ve slept with him." Grace choked for a while and just said it out, although she’s not the voluntary one, she is no longer a virgin.　　　

When Alex heard that, he was getting stuck.　　

Grace pushed him away, "I'd better go back to that villa!" "She could feel he minded that.

"No! You can't go! Alex pulled her, "I don't mind! Really! Whatever happened, you will be mine, always, and I will always love you. ”

He, love her, won't change! Is she still love him as he is? Grace looked at him in a daze, "Alex."

Alex once again held her in his arms, his lips pressed on hers, "Grace, you are mine, you can only be mine." Even if he was a step late, but he's going to keep her with him all her life

Through his fervent kiss, hooked up the bottom of her heart of love and helplessness, Garrett’s never brought this to her, he did nothing but only force her.
