Chapter 172 Hubby, It’s You Who Are up Late

• Grace rubbed her chest. In the dream, the anguish was so great that she actually couldn’t breathe because of Christopher’s declaration. Burying her head deep into the thin blanket, she heard a clear voice from within her—Grace Thompson, stop lying to yourself. You’ve actually fallen for Christopher Knight long ago. Indeed, she’d fallen in love with him long ago. Precisely speaking, she’d fallen for him seven years ago at the entrance of Imperial University like all the other girls. Otherwise, she wouldn’t have pulled him into her room while inebriated.
• However, she was too ordinary. Knowing full well the gap between her and Christopher, she’d never held out any hope. Now, God had actually used the nine children to bind them together, so she started growing greedy and wanted to be forever with him, all the while fearing that he’d get sick of her one day because she was too ordinary, and she’d end up just like her mother. At the thought of this, she got up and went to the washroom to wash her face with cold water.
• Grace stared at her reflection in the mirror, her face brimming with hesitation and worry. All of a sudden, she started loathing this side of herself. Pointing a finger at the person in the mirror, she asked, “Grace Thompson, when did you turn into such a coward? If you love him, then just go all out. Why are you wavering? What’s so great about Christopher Knight? If he doesn’t love you anymore, just get divorced. What’s the big deal? There’s no such thing as dying without someone in this world. You’re not your mother! Take control of your own life.” After a pause, she added, “Also, consider Noah and Kelly who long to see their father so badly. Aren’t you overly selfish in doing this? Christopher Knight is the children’s father, so he has the right to know the truth. No one knows what will happen in future, yet you’re now coming to a standstill. This isn’t your style! Grace Thompson, muster your courage, confront your heart, and move forward bravely. Stop worrying about the outcome!”
