The Millionaire And His Billionaire Ex-Wife

Chapter 224

Chapter 224
Eder held his breath and turned around.
Grace was sitting on the sofa by the window with her back to him. She was drinking red wine.
He clenched his hands so tightly that his palms began to sweat. He thought with some excitement, ‘Is it possible that she’s drunk again?’
“Will she be as gentle as she was two nights before?
“Who would have thought, Mr. Grant, that it was actually you who planned this engagement? Don’t you think you should explain this to me?”
Eder tugged at the doorknob in despair.
Grace’s speech was clear and steady, so she probably only had two glasses of wine. It meant that she wasn’t drunk!
Tonight, he was done for.
But he still hadn’t figured out how to face her…
He quickly walked towards the window with a plan to jump out and run away.
Grace informed him casually, “Grandfather had the windows locked in advance. I heard that it’s bulletproof. It won’t shatter even if you try to break it.”
This time, he couldn’t escape.
Eder touched his face subconsciously. He was still wearing the silver mask. It should not be so easy for Grace to recognize him. With this in mind, he stepped away from the door completely.
He cleared his throat. “Ms. Smith is joking. I don’t know you. I chose to get engaged to you just because I thought you were the most suitable candidate.”
Grace put down the red wine glass and looked back at him. I already told you last time that I like
someone else…”
Her voice suddenly stopped.
The man standing by the window was dressed in a neat suit and bore a tall and straight frame. Just standing there like that hit her with a deep-rooted feeling of familiarity.
Her expression gradually froze, and she carefully studied the man from top to bottom.
Eder noticed the change in her expression and swallowed a lump in his throat which felt as if his Adam’s apple got stuck.
“Mr. Grant, you seem familiar.”
Grace stood up, her brows knitted together, and slowly walked towards Eder.
“Ms. Smith, you must be mistaken. We haven’t met before.”
His eyes were cold and his voice was deep and h oar se.
Grace looked at his extremely familiar black eyes, and her eyes gradually turned red.
She suddenly Junged forward and grabbed him by the collar. Because of the force, she ended up. pressing him hard against the windowpane.
“What are you pretending for? Edgar, do you think I won’t recognize you if you wear a mask? Your eyes, your every little gesture- You can fool others but not mel“

Eder was numb.
Should he confess?
Would Grace feel betrayed because he had been lying to her right from the start?
She hated being deceived the most. The fact that she didn’t like him in the first place, wouldn’t she hate him even more if he told the truth?
“Why did you never show up when you’re not actually dead? How and why did you become Eder? What happened? Edgar! Give me a reasonable explanation!”
Grace clutched his collars even tighter. She was trembling in shock, doubt, and anger.
“Ms. Smith, I…’
“What did you just call me?!”
Grace raised her other hand, bent it, and swung it hard, mercilessly elbowing his stomach.
“Hiss…”
Eder’s face contorted in pain. He bent forward instinctively, but Grace grabbed his collar and pushed him back against the window glass.
It wasn’t that he couldn’t fight back. He was just afraid of hurting her since he didn’t know how to control the strength of his fist.
But Grace was different.
Every time she made a move, she used all her strength.
That little face glared at him angrily. Her mind was almost consumed by emotions that she wasn’t thinking logically anymore.
All she thought of was the fact that Edgar wasn’t dead. He was alive!
But why didn’t he come to her?
And why did he act like he didn’t know her?
“You still won’t admit it? Fine! I’ll find out for myself!”
She reached out to remove his mask.
Eder grabbed her hand tightly. “Ms. Smith, it’s the first time we officially meet tonight. Wouldn’t it be inappropriate for you to touch me?”
“You’re my fiance. What’s wrong with me touching you? Why won’t you let me see your face? If you’re really just Eder and not Edgar, then why are you nervous?!”
*I..
Grace didn’t give him a chance to argue at all. With her elbow, she hit his stomach again.
While he doubled over in pain, Grace quickly took off his mask.
The air seemed to stand still for two seconds.
Grace looked at his face in shock.
Except for the eyes, almost all of his other facial features had changed..
But his eyes and his small movements could not deceive her.
He was obviously Edgar!
“Why is your face different? You’re wearing a leather mask, aren’t you?” She ruthlessly grabbed his

face and began pinching here and there, trying to remove his disguise.
Eder locked her little hand to chest and said seriously, “It’s because I’m Eder. It’s always been Eder!”
“I don’t believe it! Did you have plastic surgery? Do you think I won’t recognize you anymore if you changed your face? Are you capable of picking out your eyeballs and replacing them?!”
She gritted her teeth angrily.
But
apart from the similarity, she really could not find other proof on Eder’s face.
Then she recalled that during the accident, Edgar’s back had suffered serious burns and whiplashes.
She broke free from his restraint and started to lift his clothes shamelessly.
Eder: “Isn’t it too fast for you to take off my clothes?”
“Shut up! Turn around! If you’re not guilty, let me check!”
“Fine. You can check.”
Eder raised his hands and allowed her to do whatever she wanted.
Although the suspicion was killing Grace, she wasn’t too shameless as to actually strip him.
Instead of taking off his clothes one by one, she pulled the hem of his shirt that was tucked under his belt and lifted it up together with the suit.
