Forced to Marry the Sickly Billionaire-Chapter 79 - I Won’t Let You Fall

“I’m sorry, Third Brother, I was just too surprised.

I thought that with Third Brother stepping in, Sister Grace would definitely do anything you asked, given how she’s always longed to talk more with you…”

Grace Summers stopped mid-sentence, her face showing a timely look of grievance, as if something very important had been taken from her.

But inside she was brimming with excitement.

Third Brother disliked Serena Summers the most.

As long as she showed that Serena Summers longed for closeness, Evan Summers would flare up like a lion riled up, burning with anger, and his dislike for Serena Summers would deepen.

“You’re saying that Serena Summers wanted to talk to me in the past?” Evan Summers suddenly lifted his eyes, staring intently at Grace Summers.

Grace Summers’s mind went blank for a moment, unable to react.

In such situations, shouldn’t Third Brother be showing a face full of disdain and dislike, immediately drawing a clear line with Serena Summers, swearing never to have more to do with her for the rest of his life?

Why wasn’t Third Brother showing any disgust this time, but instead actively asking about Serena Summers?

“Grace, answer me!”

Seeing Grace Summers standing there dumbfounded and silent, Evan Summers frowned and demanded, “What did you mean by what you said just now?

Did Serena Summers often mention me before?”

Grace Summers didn’t understand what Evan Summers meant, but she still nodded and said, “Sister has always believed that I took away Mom, Dad, and my brothers from her.

I don’t blame her!”

Grace Summers lowered her head, wiping the tears from the corner of her eyes.

Evan Summers had a complex expression on his face.

He felt dizzy and weak in the knees.

“Grace, take a good rest.

I have something to do and need to leave.”

After dropping these words, Evan Summers quickly turned and left.

Grace Summers didn’t receive the comfort from Evan Summers but was met with the sight of his departing figure.

She was suddenly dumbfounded.

What was with Third Brother today?

Why was he acting so strangely?

Thinking back on how Evan Summers couldn’t stop mentioning Serena Summers, panic began to rise in Grace Summers’s heart.

After leaving Grace Summers’s bedroom, Evan Summers headed straight for the storeroom next door.

This was where Serena Summers had once lived.

The room Grace Summers now occupied used to be Serena Summers’s before she went missing.

After being brought back to the Summers Family, everyone doted on Grace Summers and couldn’t bear to move her out of her current room.

So, Serena Summers ended up moving into Grace Summers’s storeroom.

Upon entering the storeroom, Evan Summers was taken aback.

The entire room was narrow and spartan, roughly the size of his own bathroom.

There was hardly anything in the room, just a simple single wooden bed, a plain small wardrobe, and a small desk.

If Evan Summers remembered correctly, even the servants’ rooms in the Summers Family were better than this.

Evan Summers couldn’t believe what he was seeing.

After Serena Summers returned to the Summers Family, everyone was convinced that she was coveting Grace Summers’s position and possessions, so they all spoke harshly to her.

But, the Summers Family had given nothing to Serena Summers.

How desperate must one be, to decisively cut off ties with the Summers Family?

Evan Summers couldn’t bear to imagine.

Grace Summers originally wanted to ask what exactly happened to Evan Summers that afternoon.

But unexpectedly, Evan Summers had disappeared.

She stomped her foot in frustration and grabbed a servant to ask, “Do you know where my third brother went?”

The servant hesitated for a moment, then pointed towards Evan Summers’ room, saying, “The Third Young Master seemed to have returned to his room and hasn’t come out since.”

Grace Summers’ frown deepened, and she hurried to knock on the door.

“Third brother, are you in there?”

There was no response from inside.

She instinctively turned the doorknob, trying to push the door open, but found that it was locked from the inside.

Looking at the closed door, Grace Summers suddenly had an ominous premonition.

At Shaw Mansion.

After Lucas Shaw returned to the mansion, a servant reported the incident of Evan Summers coming to find Serena Summers.

Lucas Shaw’s brow furrowed, and he asked with a grave tone, “Did Evan Summers come alone?

What did they talk about?”

A look of anger appeared on the servant’s face.

“The Summers Family really has no shame, the lady must have suffered a lot at the Summers Family!”

Lucas Shaw cast his gaze downward, his thin lips forming a tight line.

He didn’t say anything and directly started walking upstairs.

Serena Summers was sitting in front of a desk, typing on the keyboard, with lines of code flashing quickly across the computer screen.

Her fingers flew so fast that one could hardly see her movements.

She focused intently on the computer screen, but upon hearing footsteps outside the door, she quickly shut the computer and turned to look towards the doorway.

Seeing Lucas Shaw walk in, Serena Summers immediately showed a bright, tender smile.

“Husband, you’re back from work?”

Serena Summers rose from her chair and ran towards Lucas Shaw.

Lucas Shaw paused slightly and instinctively opened his arms to catch the young girl who bumped into his chest, lifting her up and striding into the bedroom.

Suddenly being held in the way one would hold a child, Serena Summers’ fair face instantly turned red.

She instinctively wrapped her arms around the man’s neck, making sure she wouldn’t be dropped.

Sensing Serena Summers’ anxiousness, Lucas Shaw’s warm, broad palm gently soothed her back, comforting her, “Don’t be afraid, I won’t drop you.”

Serena Summers, with her face flushed red and her plump lips tightly pursed, let out a light huff, ignoring Lucas Shaw’s teasing.

It was only when he leaned down to place her steadily on the couch that Serena Summers looked up at him.

“What’s the matter?

Really scared?”

“Not at all!” Serena Summers huffed lightly, turning her head away from Lucas Shaw.

“Little thing, do you love getting angry so much?” Lucas Shaw’s lips curled up in pleasure, his large hand gently ruffling Serena Summers’ hair.

“Don’t be angry, be good.”

“I’m not angry,” Serena Summers said in a quiet defense.

She was just startled by the man’s sudden action.

The abrupt feeling of being lifted had almost made her throw a punch.

But luckily, she retracted her hand in time to avoid landing her fist on Lucas Shaw’s delicate and profound face.

“I heard from the servant that Evan Summers came to see you today?” Lucas Shaw sat next to Serena Summers, asking in a low voice.

“Yeah.”

“Did he come to seek mercy on behalf of Grace Summers’ fans?”

Lucas Shaw sat with a rigid, straight back, the dark depths of his eyes flickering with a dim, indiscernible light.

A bone-chilling coldness emanated from his presence.

“Something like that, but I didn’t agree to his request.

I’ve broken ties with the Summers Family; I have no obligation to help them.”
