Just Want to Kick Him
This must be a fake... Could someone have disguised themselves as him to sabotage us again?
Like that mysterious person who made Rona Zhu disappear.
Could it be her?
Grace stepped into the space and fetched a bucket of Reveal Water.
With this water, any disguise technique would be exposed!
Grace, I know I shouldn't have lied to you. But my feelings for you are real! Last night, I had no choice but to tell Dad the truth. Who knew he'd start a fight with me? I lost control and hit him—What are you doing?
Grace dumped the entire bucket of Reveal Water on his face.
Yet, his face looked perfectly normal. It really seemed to be Evan Xiao himself.
He wasn't a fake...
"What did you just pour on me?" Evan Xiao asked angrily.
Grace looked into his eyes and asked, "Are you really married?"
"Yes! I'm married! But—"
Grace suddenly turned around and went inside, slamming the door shut with a loud bang.
Evan Xiao knocked on the door outside. "Grace, listen to me! I really have my reasons! My feelings for you are real!"
Grace took a deep breath and instructed the doorman, "No one is allowed to open the door for him! Otherwise, kick them out immediately!"
The doorman answered anxiously, "Yes!"
Grace stepped toward Serenity Pavilion.
Inside her pocket, Ray poked his little head out, looking confused in a certain direction.
Then, he jumped out of her pocket and disappeared into the grass.
...
Grace sat on the bed in a daze for a long time, her mind replaying the scene of seeing Evan Xiao outside the door that morning.
She felt something strange.
It was as if... that wasn't Evan Xiao.
He clearly looked like him, and she'd already splashed Reveal Water on him.
But whenever she met his eyes, Grace felt an indescribable sense of unfamiliarity.
She had never felt this way about Evan Xiao before.
Whenever their eyes met, her heart would always flutter, and when they were alone, they couldn't bear to part...
But the one she saw outside the door this morning... she just wanted to kick him!
Evan Xiao would never lie to her.
He would never hurt her father either.
In all the time she'd known him, she'd never seen him drunk, and he was even less likely to lose control after drinking.
No, she had to go find him again!
She sprang up, only to see Ray swimming in from outside the door.
"Huh? Ray?" Grace called out. "When did you sneak out?"
Ray came up to her, pointing his tail toward the door.
"What's wrong?" Grace asked.
Ray swam back to the doorway and beckoned her with his tail.
"You want me to go with you?"
Ray nodded.
So, Grace went with him.
Ray led her out of the city, and at the bottom of a cliff, she saw someone.
...
Grace couldn't help but go to the General's Manor.
There, in the place where Evan Xiao lived, she saw a woman.
She was an extremely beautiful woman.
Dressed in pink, her bright eyes sparkled. She seemed to glow with both elegance and liveliness, her beauty refined and graceful, her whole presence like a fairy from legend.
Grace had always thought she was quite attractive.
But compared to this woman, who seemed to radiate otherworldly charm, she felt a bit ashamed.
Who was she?
Grace had never heard of such a beautiful woman in Yan Capital.
She was sizing up the woman, and the woman was sizing her up too. After a moment, the woman asked, "You must be Grace Zhu, right?"
"And who are you?" Grace asked.
"I am... Evan Xiao's wife."
