Chapter 855

It was because… that would not lead to anything.

Just like when someone wanted to make her a scapegoat as the powerless her could easily become an abandoned pawn!

A flash of embarrassment came over Chase Harper’s face, but he said with great certainty, “I… I know I can’t do much, but… but if I had known you then, I would have done everything I could to help you!’

The car had come to a stop at the *

building of Grace’s law firm.

Grace leaned over slightly and looked at the man next to her carefully.

The man looked ordinary, but he had a power that warmed people’s hearts. After going through so much, she knew that perhaps ordinariness was the most precious of all.

‘Chase Harper, you’re a nice person and a good man, but I’m not right for you. I’ve been through a lot of things and I’ve been disappointed in love and in marriage. I just want to focus on my career now. The rest doesn’t matter to me!” said Grace.

“Then I can wait. I’ll wait until you’re willing to focus on relationships and marriage!” As if with great courage, Chase Harper reached out and took Grace’s hand.

He held her hand so firmly and his eyes were so clear.

These hands were completely different from Jason’s, but they made people feel warm.

However… “Don’t, because there’s no point. Chase Harper, you’re a good person, but a relationship requires effort from both parties, not just one. You’re great, but I don’t love you,” said Grace.

Chase Harper’s face gradually turned pale.

Grace knew that her words next were only going to get crueler.

Knowing that she was an ex-convict from the beginning, he respected her, never looked down on her, and stood up for her when many were mocking her.

He was great, and there were qualities in him that she thought were noble.

If she really chose to be with him, then maybe she would spend the rest of her life in a plain but sweet way.

She thought he would make a very good husband too.

However, just because he was a nice man, she did not want to be emotionally indebted to him.

Clearing up any confusion might be the best thing for them.

“Because I don’t love you, it doesn’t matter how long you wait. If I love you, I’ll even marry you tomorrow,” Grace said word after word.

Every word made Chase Harper’s face paler.

“We… can slowly develop feelings for each other. I’ll work hard to give you a bright future,” he said. He left the Sanitation Service Center and started a business in hopes of being successful so that he could get a chance to win her over!

“But sometimes, some feelings just won’t develop no matter how much time you’ve put in,” said Grace as she unbuckled her seat belt. “You’re great, but I don’t love you, so don’t waste your time on me. Really. It’s not worth it!”

Just as Grace was about to open the door and get out of the car, suddenly, there was the sound of a seat belt unbuckling.

Chase Harper turned to the side and hugged her.
