Chapter 222

Oliver deliberately teased Grace, hoping she would realize her feelings and accept him sooner. He drove away from home. Inside the house, Grace, who was at the window watching the car leave, looked up and burst into tears with a sob. Her tears flowed uncontrollably. "Oliver, you're such a jerk." Although she was crying, she still headed out to James' room. She barged in without knocking. "Damn, Grace! Can't you knock?" James was startled as he sat upright in bed with his blanket wrapped around him. With red eyes, Grace showed her vulnerability for the first time in front of him. "What's wrong with you? Why are you crying?" He grew worried when he saw her in such a state and got out of bed while still wrapped in his blanket. "Stop crying. What happened?" "James, I need your help." "Sure, sure. I'll help. What do you need?" James tried to comfort her. She cried, "Oliver just left to see another woman. He even asked to see several of them. Can you keep an eye on him for me?"
