Chapter 155
She reached out for her cellphone to look at the time. It was 3
a.m. and she could sleep for a few more hours.
Just as she was about to shut her eyes, she suddenly sat bolt
upright. The next instant, she stared in disbelief, her eyes wide
open.
A man was sitting by the dining table in her rental apartment,
playing with the silver bracelet that had been in her pocket.
Under the light, the man looked like a painting that been drawn on a piece of rice paper. His brows
were thick, and his
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtnasal bridge was high. His lips were thin, and he had a pair of beautiful phoenix eyes. When he curled
his lips and looked at
her, he seemed cold and aloof.
As he looked at her, Grace felt as if he was a mirage.
“Is this man real? Am I… dreaming?”
“Are you awake?” The man’s voice broke the silence in the
room.
Grace suddenly came to her senses and realized that she was not dreaming. Everything was real!
“You, who are you? Why are you in my apartment in the middle of the night?” Grace tried her best not
to scream. She quietly stretched out her hand to pick up her cellphone so that she could call the police
when the man was not watching her.
However, before she could get her hands on the cellphone, the man said, “If you’re thinking of calling
the police, you can forget about it. If I wanted to harm you, I would have done so while you were
sleeping.”
Grace froze at his words. The man seemed to have read her
mind.
“Why are you…”
“This is my bracelet,” Brian said as he stood up. He slowly made his way to the bed and said, “It was
stolen today.”
“I didn’t steal it. When I saw it, it was already in my pocket,”
Grace explained immediately.
“I know you didn’t steal it,” Brian said. “If it was you, you wouldn’t still be here in one piece.”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmGrace bit her lip and grabbed hold of the quilt tightly.
This man seemed cold and dangerous. She wondered when he had entered her rental apartment
without her realizing it.
When she saw him playing with the bracelet, she believed that
he had been there for some time.
However, she hadn’t noticed it.
After thinking for a while, she concluded that he must be something special. No ordinary man could
search her out and get into her apartment unnoticed. When the man got near her, she noticed that his
attire was high quality. His suit and wristwatch were branded and expensive. However, she found it
puzzling that this kind of man would barge into her apartment for the sake of a cheap bracelet!
