Chapter 1343: If this is life's way of pranking me, then it is very cruel.
"It's okay," Grace's soft voice stopped Haines, making him look back at her. "You're a guest, so you don't have to take your plate to the sink."
"I don't think that's proper, considering my mischievous niece has already bothered you enough."
Her lips stretched into a smile. "It's a treat, not a bother at all."
"Grace, please stop this madness." This time, Haines spoke kindly. "Tell me―
what can I do to put an end to this?"
"Stop... what?" A flicker of confusion glistened in her eyes as she tilted her head to the side.
"You know what."
"Well, if you're talking about my interest in you, then... nothing." Her smile widened. "Even if you beg, I'm afraid I have to decline your request to stop pursuing you."
"Men should pursue women, not the other way around."
"But I don't want to stay single for life just because the man I want refuses to pursue me."
Haines drew a deep breath, resting his arms on the edge of the table. His gaze locked onto hers, his voice low as he said, "You and I... will not work."
"And how are you so certain?" she asked playfully. "Do you see the future?"
"No."
"Then stop trying to make me dislike you, because the more you do, the cuter I find you."
Grace chuckled, leaning on the table, her eyelashes fluttering as she scanned his face. The corner of her mouth lifted in a satisfied smile.
"One month." She raised a finger. "If, in one month, you still don't feel anything for me, then I'll stop."
"One month?"
She nodded. "Yes, one month. I sent you invitations, didn't I? Once I reach sixty and you still feel nothing, I'll stop—just as you ask. You won't hear from me again... or at least, only when absolutely necessary."
