Chapter 24

"Doesn't that mean we're better now, Grace?" asked Nicholas. Grace neither nodded nor answered. But he seemed to smile faintly.

Yes, Grace didn't say she was on good terms with Nicholas. It was just that she remembered her conversation with Gob some time ago. A suggestion from the Gob on how to win Nicholas' heart, so she can go wherever she wants, and Nicholas will grant whatever she wishes.

"Miss Hester, can I give you a suggestion?" Gob's words at that time. He had just come out of carrying some other gardening tools.

Grace, who at that time still looked shocked, seemed to be looking at Gob with a confused look. Even now, Gob had supported her. For some reason, every time Grace looked into Nicholas's dark eagle-like eyes, it felt very familiar and familiar. Especially when she heard Nicholas' hoarse voice, she had seen that terrifying gaze before, but where? she had listened to that hoarse, deep voice before, but where? Grace was perplexed. Where had she seen eyes and a voice like that?

"Miss Hester, are you listening to me?" asked Gob a second time.

Grace gasped, then she looked at Gob with her confused look.

"Yes?" then Grace said. "I mean, what do you mean, Mr. Gob? I don't know. What kind of advice would you give, and about what?" asked Grace at last. Gob also seemed to smile, and then he nodded slowly. he leads Grace to return to her beautiful flower garden and then says Grace to sit down. Meanwhile, Gob chose to stand obediently because he was a subordinate and would not feel worthy to sit next to a figure loved by his master.

"Yes, I'd like to give you some advice. So that Young Master Kyle can do whatever you want. You can go out, and you can visit your sister for a bit. And you can do whatever you want, Miss Hester. Because I think, if you keep trying to show your hatred, and continue to rebel against Young Master Kyle. Instead of he will obey you, he will instead make you suffer, and you will end up hurting yourself in a pointless way."

"Then what advice would you give me, sir? Say, I truly feel that all my efforts have been in vain. I must do something so that I am not bound and locked up in such a horrible manner."

"Take his heart, satisfy him," replied Gob, which surprised Grace.

"W... what?!" shrieked Grace at last.

This is crazy! If she had to pretend to be nice to win Nicholas over, maybe she would agree without a second thought as long as she could meet her only sister. But if it's for satisfying matters, it's a matter that is beyond the limits of his reasoning. How could he be willing? How could she be able to do that? Even being approached by this man, it was hard for Grace to feel sick and disgusted. She always remembered what Nicholas had done to her.

"Miss Hester, sometimes to achieve a goal we want there is a sacrifice. And sometimes, the sacrifice is worth what we will get. Maybe if today Miss Hester held back a little bit of Miss Hester's anger in order to win Young Master Kyle's heart, you can get all of them. So wouldn't that be easier for you?"

Grace was silent, and when she tried to digest what Gob said. This is true, and who must consider this carefully. If she tempered her ego and hatred, she might do this for her sister's sake. Yes, it's all for her brother. Indeed, for whose sake it is.

Grace then looked at Gob with a rugged look, and then Grace nodded firmly.

"All right, Mr. Gob. I'll do what you suggest to me," Grace said firmly.

Grace smiled again, and now she was looking at Nicholas with a playful look. She was now sitting alone with Nicholas, enjoying a romantic dinner with Nicholas. She was now wearing Nicholas' white shirt. Without using subordinates. She sat looking at Nicholas with a sad look.

"Let's have a toast," said Nicholas. At the same time, he held out the wine in his hand. Make Grace do the same. Both seemed to toast, then drank their wine, respectively.

"Thanks," said Grace. Nicholas took a sip of the wine, and his eyes seemed to be looking at Grace without even blinking. He had never thought that Grace would be this tame and sweet to him. One thing that made Nicholas seem to be impressed by Grace's nature.

"What makes you so cute, Grace? You've changed," Nicholas asked Grace. he wanted to receive an answer that satisfied his heart. he don't know the answer as long as he was happy and satisfied with Grace's response.

"Sure, because I want to please you. Wouldn't it be pointless to oppose you?" then Grace said. Nicholas nodded his head. What Grace said made sense. He could accept all those excuses very easily.

"Okay, I accept your reasoning, Grace. I'm touched by it," Nicholas replied later. Grace smiled again as if what Nicholas had said was very funny to him. She would never have thought that serving just once would make Nicholas this gentle to her.

"So tell me, Mr. Kyle. What do you like and what do you dislike?" she asked. She then sliced ​​the meat on her plate, and then she looked at Nicholas again.

"What do I like? Grace, that's the answer. And what I don't like? Losing Grace. That's the answer too,"

"It means?" asked Grace at last.

Nicholas smiled again, and then he took a deep breath. Resting on his chin, he looked deeply at Grace.

"You know, in my world, I don't have any purpose in life other than you, Grace. So my goal is to make you happy. I, have lost everything in my life. All I have is you, nothing else,"

Nicholas smiled wryly, his hands gripping each other tightly. Grace saw that as her expression turned gloomy. Nicholas' hands seemed to grip tightly as if he wanted to hurt himself.

"Sorry, if this discussion is going to be difficult for you and will make you sick, then stop. You know I'm asking not because I want to open your wound. But because I want to know how you are in as much detail as possible. So can you not think about anything else? And Let's talk about something else now."

Yes, Grace didn't want to hurt Nicholas with this discussion. She felt that Nicholas might have a terrible past. It was true that she didn't like Nicholas, but she didn't want to hurt him with her question.
