NovelEnglishGrace's black eyes were very bright, and there was a firm resolve in them that no one else had. She looked at Benjamin, who let go of her guiltily.
"I did hide things from you in the past, but I've never done that since we got divorced. Although it's late, I'm sure you know how I feel about you." "That's not what I'm talking about. I'm talking about before we got married." Benjamin swayed, and he pressed his lips together tightly. He didn't speak for a long time. "What?" Grace hadn't wanted to expose him. In fact, she had initially planned on just treating him like a stranger if they met. Since Benjamin insisted on pestering her, she didn't want to be taken for a fool.
"If you had admitted it yourself, I would've still admired your guts as a man, even though it's late. But it seems that you don't even have the courage to admit it." Grace spoke slowly, watching as Benjamin's expression turned gradually darker.
"Does your older brother, Alexander, know that you marriedin his stead?" Benjamin turned as white as a sheet.
