Chapter 46

Although Grace looked the same as before, she seemed to have

weathered many storms. She was no longer wearing high-end

fashion but a fluorescent uniform.

Sean was in a daze. The scene of her crawling to him in prison, begging him to believe her appeared before his eyes again.

Back then, her gaze had been eager, hopeful, and pleading… However, she looked calm at the moment.

Like she didn’t need him. Or anyone in this world.

Her strength was a force all its own.

Lily sensed it too and her smile slipped. She was terrified, he realized.

With the cameras and press closing in and snapping photos, what if Grace were to start railing about how they’d treated her and abused her? What if she attacked them for this ridiculous stunt with the ring?

As it was, it was a stretch for Lily to be anywhere near this neighborhood.

Sean held his breath, waiting to see what Grace would do next.
