Chapter 848
“Sure,” replied Grace. According to
the information she collected, Chase
Harper’s car and Baldwin’s car were
driving one behind the other at the time
of the accident.
One could say that Chase Harper was
the first witness when the accident
happened!
She could ask Chase Harper if she
wanted to learn more about the details
of the case.
“Want to join me for dinner? It’s almost time anyway,” said Chase Harper after
looking at the time.
“No thanks.” Grace declined with a smile, clearly keeping her distance.
She did not know if Chase Harper was

“There’s something else I wish to tell you in regards to this case. I was thinking of having dinner with you and telling
you
about it as we eat. It won’t take much
time,” said Chase Harper.
Grace hesitated. “Then… let’s go Dutch.”
“Sure,” answered Chase Harper with a
shy smile.
As long as she would have dinner with him, he was elated.
Lina came to see Grace afterward, but she did not expect to see her friend getting out of a car that was being
driven by a man at the neighborhood
where Grace’s rental house was.
She only saw her best friend saying something to the man with a smile. Then,
she waved goodbye before the car drove
away.
‘Um… Is there something going on?’
Lina quickly ran to Grace’s side. “Grace,
who’s that guy just now?”
Grace was taken aback by Lina’s sudden appearance. “What are you doing here?”
“I’m here to see you. Tell me, who’s the
man who sent you back? You guys look
close.” Lina looked like her passion for
gossip was ignited.
Grace smiled helplessly and said, “He’s my former colleague from the Sanitation Service Center, but he’s now
left the Sanitation Service Center and
is a shareholder of a car dealership. There was a case today, and the victim happens to be a colleague of his at his
car dealership. He’s also a witness, so we
had dinner together and he drove me
home.”
“That’s all?” Lina was disappointed.
“What were you thinking?” asked Grace.
“I thought you had someone you could consider dating,” grumbled Lina.
Grace laughed. “Lina, I’ll never date
again.”

Lina suddenly stopped and looked at her friend in surprise. “You’ve only failed
once. You don’t have to-”
“Not once, but twice.” Grace corrected. “It
doesn’t feel good to be kicked away so
easily every time. I don’t want to go through that suffering again.”
Lina felt sorry for her best friend. “Maybe the third time’s the charm? Maybe you’ll meet someone who deserves
your love?”
“Instead of spending my time on relationships, I’d rather spend my time
on what I really want to spend on. Perhaps I’m just not suited for love. Besides, you know that my body makes
it hard for me to conceive. How many
men in this world would like to have no
children of their own?”
Lina threw her arms around Grace. “You
mustn’t talk about yourself like that. Nothing is absolute. People who really
like you and love you will be tolerant of these things. Besides… My child will be your child. Our child will have two
mothers.”
Lina choked up while talking. ‘I don’t like Grace saying such things. It feels as if
she’s done with her life.
‘But she’s still so young. She’s only 28!’
