Chapter 30
The girl in front, however, took two steps back, furrowing her brows slightly, as if she didn’t understand.
“What is your name?”
With similar expressions and movements, almost an identical face and voice, for a moment, he truly believed that the girl standing in front of him was Grace.
It could be seen from her puzzled eyes that she was not.
The girl in front of me was even younger, seemingly not yet 20 years old, more like Grace during her college years.
He restrained the impulse to embrace the person in his arms, his voice trembling.
“What is your name?”
The girl in front seemed to be frightened and took two steps back.
“Sorry, it seems like I entered the wrong compartment.”
After saying that, she turned around and tried to leave, but was pulled back by Antonio.
His hands were still trembling, warm tears rolled down his cheeks and dropped onto the back of the girl’s hand.
The girl hesitated and stopped, then she searched through the small car and handed him a tissue.
You What happened to you? You should wipe yourself first”
When he looked up again, Antonio’s eyes had regained clarity, and he gazed at the girl in front of him with a complex expression.
“Do you work here? Quit, come with me, and I will give you ten times the salary.”
The girl, however, took two steps back and forcefully shook off his hand.
“What did you take me for?”
Seemingly very annoyed, she didn’t stay any longer this time and quickly left, pushing the cart.
Antonio stood still, staring blankly at the hurriedly retreating figure of the young girl.
It was too similar. His heart was pounding, and reason told him that he shouldn’t continue getting involved with this girl. If Grace found out, it would be completely impossible. But there was always a voice echoing in his mind.
He wouldn’t do anything to this girl, just looking at her face, it’s okay. When Grace is found by him again, he will find a way to send this girl away, she will never appear in front of Grace.
Finally, the voice in my heart gradually overcame reason.
He took out his phone and dialed the phone number of the owner of this shop.
In less than half an hour, information about that girl was delivered before
- me.
The girl’s name was Marley Flynn, she was in college, but her only
relative suddenly fell seriously ill. She had no choice but to come here to work because the wages here are generally higher, and she occasionally receives tips.
I had just arrived here not long ago, and now I was only doing some tea pouring and water serving tasks.
“Bring her over here.”
Antonio’s voice was low, as he looked at the photo of Marley in his hand. his gaze distant, as if he was seeing another person through her.
The girl soon stood in front of him again.
She timidly looked at him, her expression cautious and careful, a look that Grace had never shown before.
“Don’t look at me like that, I don’t eat people.”
Antonio’s tone unconsciously carried a hint of impatience.
“Stay by my side, I will fully cover your mother’s medical expenses, but you have to obey me in terms of your clothing and appearance.”
Marley seemed a bit flustered, but her bodyguard blocked her way out. She could only look up at the man standing in front of her.
“What did I need to do?”
Looking at the face in front of him, which bore a striking resemblance, he once again became lost in thought.
“You don’t need anything, just need to be with me”
“I would help you solve everything, just follow what I said ”
“And the first thing was…”
“Promise me, don’t leave me
again, Grace.”
