At the diner, several women looked sideways at Brian. Grace now regretted bringing him there.
Maybe they should have gone to a restaurant with a private
room.
After ordering a few dishes, Grace looked at Brian. I heard you helped search for me after I disappeared yesterday. Thank you.
Well, I didnt help much, did I? Brian smiled faintly.
Thank you anyway. However Grace paused and looked at the person in front of her seriously. Yesterday, you said you would wait for my answer. I can give you an answer now. I dont love you, so you dont need to waste your time on me.
Brian raised his eyebrows slightly. Speaking of which, this was the first time he had been rejected by a woman!
Whether he had mistaken her for someone else in the past, or now when he had fallen in love with her.
Are you rejecting me because of Jason? he asked.
nonchalantly, looking as if her refusal had not affected him.
No, she said as she shook her head.
Even if Jason had said nothing, she would still have rejected him.
After all, she was already emotionally drained. She was too drained to love again.
Do you think I cant commit to a relationship because Ive had too many girlfriends before? he asked.
Like you said, youve had a lot of girlfriends. All of them were pretty, talented, and special. Why me? asked Grace.

He said, Yes, I have. Its because Ive found her that Im even more sure that I love you.
When he found the one he had been persistently looking for, he realized that his obsession was only what he thought it was. He never felt any butterflies in his stomach when he looked at Stella.
He could think of her as his savior, but he would never fall in love with her.
Grace was the only one who could give him that feeling
Over the years, no matter how many beautiful and talented women there were, no matter how many girlfriends he had over the years, and no matter how stunning the women were, they would not make him feel that way.
However, Graces smile, no matter cold or indifferent, was always stuck in his mind.
Grace bit her lip uncomfortably for a moment before she said,
me.
He suddenly chuckled. Grace, does the fact that Im in
love with you strike you as so inconceivable as to warrant
suspicion?
She choked.
