Chapter 283

In the bedroom.

Eder waited for a long time, but he didn’t see Grace going upstairs with the pill box.

“Grace?”

The lights were on, but no one answered.

Full of suspicion, he stepped out of bed with his long legs, put on his slippers, and went downstairs to check.

As soon as he went downstairs, he turned around and saw Grace standing in front of the locker, holding a pack of cigarettes in her hand, looking at it carefully.

The drawer in the corner was open, and it was full of cigarettes.

His heart skipped a beat.

In an instant, Eder’s face turned pale.

It seems that Eric bought them this afternoon. Before he left, he told him where the drawer was, but he was busy with his meeting all afternoon, and hadn’t have time to open it himself…

Why..! Grace obviously never looked through the drawers, so he was so unlucky today that he just happened to be caught?

Moreover, Eric had actually bought so many!

His back was stiff and his heart was extremely frantic.

Grace saw his reaction in the corner of her eyes. Holding a pack of cigarettes, she turned around and walked to the sofa to sit down. Her face was expressionless and cold.

“Explain?”

Eder was still standing at the top of the stairs, motionless, and he denied without blushing and batting an eyelid, “Those are not mine. I never used this brand of cigarette. These should be Eric’s.” Grace listened to his voice like music, stared into his eyes, and smiled with red lips:

“So you mean, Eric put his cigarettes in your villa, your living room, and your locker drawer? What’s the purpose? To lure you into trying them too? Is he bored being alone?”

Eder was silent. His adam’s apple slightly rolled down his throat, his long eyelashes trembled, while his brain is turning fast.

“What is Brother Ed thinking?”

Grace stared at him closely, with the storm hidden under her eyes, her tone gradually became colder, “Thinking about how to round up the words to fool me?”

With a bang! She pressed the cigarette case against the coffee table, her anger gradually rose.

Following the sudden loud noise, Eder sank his knees almost subconsciously, and he knelt down heavily.

He lowered his eyes, adhering to the attitude of ‘resist strictness, frankly strive for leniency‘, his black eyes were aggrieved but honest.

“I was wrong! Listen to my explanation!”

Grace raise her cold eyes slightly.

When he knelt just now, there was a muffled sound from his knees. Grace heard it. Moreover, his 15:55 The Millionaire and His Billionaire Ex wifo feet were on the cold marble floor.

She flinched from the pain in her heart. Looking at the cigarette case on the coffee table, she resisted the urge to help him and rub his knees.

Pointing to the soft carpet at her feet, “Come here.”

With that big movement he did just now, Eder’s knees were bruised.

When he got up, he staggered and his eyebrows knitted together.

He quickly suppressed the pain in his eyes and slowly walked towards Grace.

Grace was observing him and could see his little movements clearly.

Just as Eder held onto his knees and was about to kneel down again, Grace spoke, “Squat now.”

Huh? Squat?

Eder vas stunned for a few seconds and did not move.

Grace looked at him and said coldly, “Didn’t you hear me clearly? Do you need me to repeat it?” “I heard you He immediately assumed the most standard military posture, with one knee on the ground, his thumbs together with his back straight.

In this posture, he seemed to be upright and proud.

But because he had done something bad and was caught, he seemed to lack confidence and was suppressed by Grace’s strong aura.

Grace glanced at the cigarette case on the coffee table, “This is your last chance to explain, think about it before you speak.”

Eder nodded obediently. They’re my treasure.”

He began to speak the words in his mind, and honestly confessed, “The cigarettes are indeed mine. I asked Eric to buy them, but I don’t want to smoke.”

The anger in Grace’s chest continued to ignite.

She took a deep breath and endured it, again and again, “You still don’t want to say the truth? It seems that you secretly have done it many times behind my back. Tell me honestly, how many cigarettes did you smoke?”

–”

Eder was very wronged. “I just ordered Eric this afternoon. You caught me tonight immediately. I really didn’t.”

Grace once again suppressed her anger, picked up the cigarette case on the table, opened it, and showed it to him.

“When I came over, the drawer of the locker was slightly open like someone forget to close it in pande.

Moreover, this case is obviously missing one, and you still had the gall to deny it?”

Eder: “777”

So that’s how it was discovered!

On top of that, Eric even put the pack of cigarettes he used today in the drawer.

Acting so carelessly, did he have the intention to kill him?

He resisted the urge to kill Eric immediately and consciously changed his squatting position into 15:

kneeling position.

“I used a cigarette today, but I just smelled it. I didn’t even light it. If you don’t believe me, you can sniff my whole body over! I really didn’t smoke!”

Grace’s beautiful eyes narrowed and she sneered, “After smoking, you take a shower, and change your clothes. Of course, I can’t smell it.”

She doesn’t believe him at all…

Eder felt his chest tightened. His eyes were red with grievance. He carefully grabbed her cuff with his fingers, as if he could find some comfort this way.

“Grace, you said the last time that we should trust each other. I’m telling the truth. Can you believe me this time?”

“Earlier you just denied the cigarettes to be yours, so which truth do you want me to believe?”

Eder was speechless.

He hit his lower lip fiercely, unable to explain a word, his heart choked with discomfort.

Grace quickly noticed the mist that continued to form in his black eyes, as if he had been wronged by everyone, pitiful and helpless.

There were bloodstains on his lower lip.

“Let go!”

She was stunned, and immediately pinched his cheek with her finger, forcing him to open his mouth.

On his pale and handsome face, his eyelashes were drooping, and he was dejected. The bright red bloodstain on his thin lips was especially obvious.

“You made a mistake and want to wrong Grace sighed, still feeling a little distressed, leaned over to kiss his lips. The tip of her tongue gently helped his lips to dispel the pain.

A bitter–sweet taste filled her mouth.

After the kiss, Grace continued to pinched his face and looked at him from a close distance, and couldn’t bear to give him a chance. “Since you insisted that you didn’t smoke, the whole cigarette should still be there, you find it and put it in front of me, then I’ll believe you.”

Eder’s dark eyes finally had a gleam of light, “Alright! It’s in the study…

His voice came to an abrupt end.

What?!

He asked Eric to pack and throw away that cigarette with the trash bag in the study, where would he find it now?!

Grace pinched his face with a little force. “Where in the study?”

“I threw it in the trash can and it was taken by Eric when he left…

Grace raised her eyebrows, “What a coincidence!”

What a coincidence!

He couldn’t wash himself even if he jumped into the reincarnation cyclel Eder’s heart was extremely frantic, and he stared at Grace with his black eyes, “There is no physical evidence but I still have personal evidence! I will let Eric prove my innocence in person.”

Grace cast a haughty glance at him, letting go of his chin, acquiescing.

A minute later, Eric’s call was connected.

Without waiting for Eric on the other end of the line to speak, Eder became violent and gritted his teeth:

“I’ll give you fifteen minutes, get over here immediately!”
