Chapter 16 

Howard furrowed his brow, appearing displeased. “Grace, what are you doing?” 

Howard, I just suddenly don’t feel like having this food. Can’t you accompany me for Western cuisine?Grace continued to playfully act spoiled

She still believed that Howard liked her

It was just that the lingering resentment from Sally breaking off their engagement remained in his heart

If you don’t want to eat, then don’t.” Howard coldly dropped the words and turned to get into the car

Grace let out a sigh of relief, glanced back fiercely in the direction of the restaurant, and then quickly caught up, getting into Howard’s car

Inside the restaurant

Sally preferred a window seat. Whenever there was an available window seat in a restaurant, she would choose it

As soon as she took her seat and turned to look outside the window, she immediately spotted Howard and Grace standing outside the restaurant

Grace was holding onto Howard’s arm, saying something to him with a shy expression, appearing intimate

Her heart inexplicably tightened, as if she had missed a beat

What are you looking at?Jeremy approached and sat opposite her, turning his head to follow her gaze

Sally quickly averted her gaze. Nothing.”

Jeremy also withdrew his gaze, but he had already seen the person outside clearly

Howard… 

He had always known that the person Sally couldn’t let go of in her heart was Howard

Although he had never minded, seeing the desolate and 

pained look in Sally’s eyes when she saw Howard just now still caused a pang in his heart

What would you like to eat?Jeremy handed the menu to Sally, maintaining a gentle smile on his face when facing her

Sally smiled faintly. You’re familiar with this place, so you can choose.” 

Alright!Jeremy raised an eyebrow and opened the menu to start ordering

Sally’s gaze involuntarily shifted back to the window

However, Howard and Grace were no longer in sight. She lowered her eyes once again

Sally, I ordered your favorite salad and meatballs. How does that sound?” 

Hmm, that’s fine.” 

On the surface, Sally appeared unaffected, but it was evident

that her eyes lacked their usual sparkle

Jeremy didn’t say anything, looking as if he knew nothing at all

Grace’s sudden change of heart greatly displeased Howard

Inside the car, he maintained a cold expression

Howard, let’s go for Western cuisine. I know a restaurant that serves delicious Western food. Can we go, please?Grace pleaded with a pleading tone

Howard replied coldly, I didn’t come to see you for a meal today. Since you don’t want to eat, let’s just talk in the car.” 

Grace’s expression stiffened for a moment

Wasn’t he inviting her for a meal

Just now, Howard called her and asked to meet at the restaurant, and she was delighted

She thought Howard took the initiative to ask her out on

date

But it turned out that wasn’t the case at all

Grace, you take Rina to France. What kind of doctor did you see?Howard questioned her with a cold gaze

Howard suspected

Grace’s heart skipped a beat, and she looked at Howard in a somewhat panicked manner. Howard, whatwhat do you

mean? I tooktook Rina to France to seea psychiatrist, of course. I sent you the doctor’s information before. Howard, why are you suddenly asking about this? Did something happen to Rina?” 

From the initial nervousness to the subsequent confusion mixed with worry, Howard noticed it all

Indeed, if Grace hadn’t sent him the doctor’s personal information, he wouldn’t have allowed Grace to take Rina to 

France

Grace, don’t think I can’t find out anything in France.Howard warned coldly

Grace became even more nervous, but on the surface, she choked pitifully, Howard, did someone say something to you? Rina is my daughter, no matter what, I could never do anything to harm my own daughter. She is the result of my ten months of pregnancy.” 

It was precisely because of this that Howard had trusted 

Grace

However, Rina’s current situation had eroded the last bit of 

trust he had for her

Howard, how is Rina doing now? Can you let me see her? I’m really worried about her,” Grace pleaded, her voice filled with desperation as tears welled up in her eyes

Howard averted his gaze and coldly said, Rina’s condition is unstable at the moment. For now, it’s better if you don’t meet.” 

From Grace’s eyes, he was even more certain that something

had happened when Grace took Rina to France

Until he investigated the matter thoroughly, he wouldn’t allow Grace to see Rina again

Grace’s face instantly turned grim, but she didn’t dare to say anything. Howard’s decision was not something she could change

Get out of the car!Howard commanded in a cold voice

Although Grace was reluctant, she still got out of the car

The car sped away, leaving her standing by the roadside, her expression becoming increasingly grim

She immediately hailed a taxi and left

After finishing their meal, Jeremy accompanied Sally back home. The two children had already fallen asleep

Scarlet was still tidying up the house

Ms. Brown, you’re back.” 

Scarlet, why haven’t you rested yet?” 

Scarlet smiled and said, “Just a little bit more, I’ll be done 

soon.” 

Finish up and rest early.” 

After Sally finished her instructions, she took a step towards her room but was stopped by Scarlet. Ms. Brown!”

Hmm?Sally turned back, looking at her with confusion. Scarlet, is there something wrong?” 

Ms. Brown, there’s something I’m not sure if I should mention,Scarlet hesitated

Sally smiled and said, Scarlet, just tell me if something is bothering you. You don’t have to be like this with me.“” 

In that case, Ms. Brown, I’ll be direct. These past few days, while you’ve been busy and might not have noticed, I’ve noticed something off about Kara. Mr. Jeremy and you both mentioned to me before that Kara is a very lively and cheerful child, butbut she’s been completely different from what you’ve described. She’s been very quiet, doesn’t like to talk, and even seems afraid when I get close. She’s been clinging to Mia every day,Scarlet revealed

Scarlet’s words furrowed Sally’s brows, and she recalled her interactions with Kara these past few days, realizing that something was indeed amiss

Initially, she thought Kara was just putting on a performance for her, but considering Kara’s energetic personality, it was unlikely for her to be immersed in a performance for several consecutive days

Ms. Brown, could it be that Kara is experiencing some sort of discomfort from the change in environment? After all, she grew up abroad, and coming back to the country might be an adjustment for her. Shouldn’t you take some time to 

accompany her and talk to her more?Scarlet suggested

I’m still an outsider, and there might be things she wouldn’t want to talk to me about.”

Sally nodded earnestly. Scarlet, thank you. I understand. I’ll keep an eye on Kara.” 

Sally returned to her room, and Scarlet finished tidying up before going to her own room to rest. With no more sounds outside, Mia cautiously opened the door and peeked outside, his little face filled with seriousness

If mommy really talked to Rina, it would definitely have been exposed
