Chapter 170 Shouldn't We Catch Up?

• “Didn’t I always say I wanted to study abroad? Now I have an opportunity. My father’s company has a place for advanced studies, so I volunteered.” After saying that, she blinked her eyes countless times, as if only in this way could she relieve the panic in her heart. Hearing this, Evelyn frowned. “Didn’t you say you didn’t want to work in your family’s company? Why did you suddenly change your mind?” “Isn’t this a good opportunity? If they don’t give it to me, someone else will benefit. It’s better if I go myself,” Grace said, pouring another glass of water. The nearby waiter saw it and reached out to take it, but she waved her hand to stop him.
• Everything seemed normal, but her slightly trembling hands revealed the nervousness in her heart. na Evelyn grabbed the glass of water in her hand and asked in a serious voice, “Is it because of Matt that you want to leave the country?” Matt. Grace bit her lips. Ever since that night, this name seemed imprinted in her mind, impossible to forget no matter how hard She didn’t say anything and sat silently on the chair. It was the first time she hung her head so low in her proud life. Evelyn looked at her, feeling a pang of bitterness in her heart. “Grace, you…” “Please don’t!” Grace interrupted her eagerly. She took a deep breath and slowly exhaled. “Don’t try to persuade me. I’m fine.”
• Evelyn felt distressed and blamed herself because Grace was uncomfortable but still holding it in. If she hadn’t been drunk and been sober that night, maybe things wouldn’t have turned out like this. Matt was right. In the adult world, it’s all about mutual consent. However, Grace was far from being as open-minded and indifferent as she appeared. She had always been a modest and somewhat conservative girl, focused on keeping herself pure. Unfortunately, there was no way to pursue the matter now. They had a stifled meal, and Grace pretended to be relaxed, which made Evelyn unable to bear watching. As they paid the bill and left, Evelyn held her hand. “Grace, no matter what happens, if you ever need me, I will always be by your side, accompanying you.”
