NovelsFreeGrace hummed a response before looking at Carmen.
Carmen got up. "I'm going back now. Gra-Grace, thanks for keeping the Lambert family's company afloat."
Considering how Grace addressed her as "Mrs. Lambert" earlier, she did not dare to speak to her in an endearing
manner.
Meanwhile, Grace had heard Carmen stutter when she called her ntwice. There was an inexplicable feeling
of dejection.
That forlorn feeling ccrashing in like the great tide.
Grace opened her mouth to say something, but only nodded in the end.
Carmen turned around and began making her way to the exit, with Andrea following diligently behind.
Only Liam and Grace were left in the room.
As Grace had forgiven Liam, he managed to recompose himself very quickly. "Look at all these books on the
shelf. I've finished reading them. I'm really doing my best.
"You can just calland teston them. If there's anything | don't understand, I'll make sure to get to the
bottom of it. Please don't leavehere all by myself.
"It makesfeel like the entire world has abandoned me."
Grace lifted her hand and gave him a few pats on the head. "I'm sorry."
Liam pursed his lips. Suddenly, he burst into tears.
He had been through so much lately. All he did was feel bad to see Alice-whom he had grown up with- fall on

And then, there was Grace-his sister who had done nothing but adored him all his life—who dumped him here
without an ounce of hesitation, refusing to meet him.
His father had passed away; his mother had beca nun-in a short matter of time, his world had fallen apart.
He had no idea what he had done wrong. Every day, he would have to brace himself for the pill that tormented
him. He would be thrown into a great panic, making him feel like he had lost his mind.
Now that Grace had agreed to talk to him, that sense of panic was finally gone. Big teardrops fell from his eyes,
like a broken faucet.
Grace was amused. She took the napkin and wiped his face.
"You're a grown-up man. How can you have so many tears?" she teased.
"That's because you have no idea how scary you are when you're strict."
"You're about to beca father. How are you going to be a role model to your child if you cry over the littlest
things?"
For sreason, the moment these words cout of her mouth, Liam's expression becfilled with panic.
"I'm sorry, Grace. I'm really sorry."
Upon seeing how panic-stricken he had become, she felt extremely heartbroken.
When did her little brother start becoming so afraid of her?
She opened her mouth, only to bite her lips. "There, there. I'll call you every now and then to test you on the
readings.
"Read more. I'll cand get you next month. But you must remember, | will not forgive you every time.
"Patience is something that can be worn thin. When the day comes forto cut off all ties with you, | will not

"I'll hate whoever you hate, and I'll like whoever you like. From now on, I'll only listen to you."
Grace felt a knot in her heart form, suddenly realizing that she had really been neglecting Liam.

"Your wish is my command!" Liam saluted.
