During the time I spent recuperating at home, Watson called a few times and I didn't answer, and I even felt that every time I saw his name on my phone screen, the wounds that hadn't healed opened up again.

Since he couldn't reach me, he came straight to the door.

When I opened the door and saw it was him I didn't say a word and had to close the door, he reached out and put his hand against it.

"Grace, the marriage is always to be divorced, dragging on is not good for you and me."

This is wrong, it's him who can't go on, after all, the mistress is pregnant.

The more anxious he is, the less anxious I am. It makes me a little excited if he feels painful.

"Watson I'm telling you, it's your business that you're having a good time with your mistress, but I will not sign the divorce papers. Let's wait until her belly gets bigger, I'll see whether people will scold her or me."

Watson frowned and took a step as if he wanted to come in, but after a glance into the room, he stopped with a strange look in his eyes.

I followed his sight and twisted my head, understanding that what he saw was supposed to be my dad's effigy, so I laughed.

"Watson, look carefully, this is my father, my father used to love me, if he knew you bullied his daughter like this, do you think he would let you go?"

Watson was obviously a bit alarmed, and his foot backed off.

I took the opportunity to ping the door shut, Watson knocked again for a while, kept calling out to me, and I ignored him.

It took a long time before I heard his footsteps coming down the stairs.

Later Niki came over and I told her about Watson's visit and she praised me for a job well done.

"Grace, you just drag him to death, anyway, you are not in a hurry to find a man, how to dazzle yourself, gas his damn, that bitch is eager to marry, you just dragged her not to wear a wedding dress, if she did not get married to have a child, she will also be completely shameless."

Niki had a point, and I thought I should toughen up. Now that I think about it, Watson and Miranda were able to bully me so brazenly because I was too weak in the past, in addition to my lack of background.

So, either for revenge or to not be bullied in the future, I should change myself.

A month later I was almost recovered, Niki came to me, and brought me new clothes, said to take me out to go out and have fun.

I didn't want to go, but I couldn't resist her, so I took the clothes and changed.

Niki also dragged me to have my hair done. After I was done, I looked at myself in the mirror and my medium length hair was dyed black and teal, with a big wave at the end, which was much more stylish and youthful.

Niki stared at me in the mirror and complimented me, "Look, I knew it, our Grace is absolutely beautiful when she dresses up, and today you will definitely make all those men's eyes go straight."

Then she took me to a bar called Hecate.

I don't come to this kind of place often, and the ear-splitting music and the flashing colorful lights when I entered made me uncomfortable.

Niki held me by the shoulders through the dancing crowd, during which people whistled at us from time to time.

Niki persuaded me, "Grace, let go, have as much fun as you like, and pick up anyone you like."

I squirmed as I walked, my eyes looking around uncomfortably, but quickly settled.

In the corner of the VIP card seat, there are three men and two women sitting, one of them is Christian.

"Which handsome guy do you have your eye on?" Niki, probably looking at me wrong, suddenly approached me.

I whispered rather uncomfortably, "I think I saw the guy who took me to the hospital the other day."

"Which one?" Niki got interested and followed my line of sight, "You mean the one wearing a white shirt, not bad looking, and smoking a cigarette?"

Christian is not only good-looking, but also has an aura that one cannot ignore, so it makes sense that Niki could pick him out right away.

I just nodded my head, Niki pulled me directly towards that side.

"Niki, don't, I don't know him well." I pulled her back for dear life.

As much as I wanted to say thank you to Christian, I had no intention of doing so on this occasion.

"What are you afraid of? At least we know each other, let's say hello."

Niki couldn't listen to me, and I couldn't pull her back because she was so strong from her training.

"Boy, long time no see."

Niki had never met Christian, but she was very familiar with him. I knew him, but I was so formal that I couldn't say a word.

Christian, who was leaning on the sofa, suddenly looked up and his dark eyes collided with mine.

I was confused by the suddenness of this encounter, and was at a loss when Niki pushed me from behind.

Christian reached out and wrapped his arms around me, and my cheeks burned as his masculine scent hit me hard.

"I'm sorry, I'm meeting an old friend. You don't mind if I sit here, do you?" Niki tossed her short hair and sat on her butt to the side, speaking to several other people.

I was so embarrassed that I immediately tried to back away, but Christian's arm closed, not intending to let me go, but suddenly came over, so close that he almost kissed my ear.

"Still mad at me? Stop it, will you?"

His low magnetic voice was like an electric current passing through his ears, not high or low volume but let everyone present hear clearly.

His words came inexplicably, and my face instantly burned like fire.

One of the bald middle-aged men looked me over and over with complicated eyes and asked Christian.

"And this is?"

"A girlfriend."

Christian answered quickly, but shocked everyone in the room, including Niki, and myself.

The bald man finished his shock and looked very regretfully at the girl sitting next to him.

"It seems my daughter is still a step too late."

"Yes, my daughter also has no destiny with you ah, but you are really too low-key, when did you have a sweetheart, not a bit of wind out." Another beer-bellied man also sighed.

I now understand a little bit, they are ready to sell their daughters to Christian, and Christian just caught me as a shield.

The two girls were actually very young and pretty, and now they were looking at me with a particularly sultry look. I said I was wronged. Christian helped me, I helped him once as a favor to him.

"I wonder which family is this lady's daughter?" The bald man seemed to be deliberately trying to embarrass me.

I can't answer this question.

I am not a young lady, and I am afraid that my birth would be a disgrace to Christian.

Christian extinguished his cigarette butt and naturally took my hand in his lap, smiling lightly with his lips.

"She is my fiancée."

Although I knew it was a game, but my heart could not help but stir.

The way he defended me was as strong as the way he defended me in the hospital that day, and I still felt a stirring in my heart afterwards when I recalled every word he said.

Christian's words forcefully blocked their jealousy and curiosity, the scene was awkward for a while, but finally the beer-bellied man toasted a glass of wine to ease the atmosphere.

I could see that their attitude towards Christian was a bit ingratiating, and I couldn't help but feel more suspicious.

Who the hell is Christian? What kind of business was he in?

I thought I could hear some clues from their conversation, but no, they only talked about inconsequential things afterwards.

The two of them made toasts to Christian from time to time, and he didn't refuse, except for the fact that he never let go of my hand.

Later I went to the bathroom and Niki, who had been swiping her phone, immediately offered to accompany me. I know she must be curious about my relationship with Christian, according to her temper, can sit there for so long has been very difficult.

As expected, not far away, Niki directly hanged me by the neck and questioned me.

"Tell me, when was the situation? You can ah, simply conceal the impermeable."

I looked at her with tears and laughter, "You are so smart, can't you see that he is using me as a shield?"

"Really? Can you act that real? I don't think he looked at you like he was acting."

"That means he's a good actor." I said.

I don't know what kind of look he was giving me, I was just embarrassed and nervous.

Niki finally let me go after I repeatedly stated that there was nothing between me and Christian.

When I got out of the bathroom, I didn't take more than a few steps, I was frozen.

Not far away, the man who was pinning a woman to the wall and kissing her with great pleasure, was my legal husband Watson.
