"What? No?" He raised his eyebrows and said gently with his thin lips, "Am I taking the liberty?"

"No." Grace recovered from this and smiled faintly. "I'll play it for you if you want. But I haven't touched the piano for five years, and I'm not as good as before." "It's okay." He hung his eyes and a thick weariness flashed across his face.

Grace went to the piano and sat down slowly.

Knowing that she had studied music before, Mason specially prepared a piano and guitar for her in the villa. But she never had the courage to touch it again. Now she played it again because of Carl, which was quite sarcastic.

Her slender fingers fell on the black and white keys, and she slowly played out the music scores she had memorized in her heart. She was familiar with the pleasant melody and her memory was recovered ten years ago. At that time, she sat in the piano room all afternoon. Carl stood outside the window, quietly waiting for her and helping her buy her favorite crab roe bag.

One day, she nibbled at the crab roe bag and said to him, "Carl, don't waste your time anymore. Don't come to me in the future. I'll find you after I finished."

"It's okay. I like listening to you practice piano." He pinched her face, narrowed his eyes and laughed.

Although she was not so familiar with that, it was especially beautiful. The way she sat in front of the piano was shining.

Just as at this moment, even if her voice was destroyed. Even if she had not touched the piano for five years, she was still the sparkling Grace when she played.

At the end of the song, Grace got up, walked up to Carl, looked at him and asked, "Carl, you came to me at night, don't you just want to listen to me play the piano?"

"By the way, I'd like to talk to you about Stella." He took a deep puff of his cigarette and said.

Sure enough.

She smiled wryly and pursed her lips and said, "Mr. Carl don't need to beat around the bush."

"Britney and Grayson insisted that you killed Stella. Grayson even wanted to send you to prison. Mason family could not protect you." He said directly, "In Romantic city, the only one who can protect you is me" Hearing what he said, Grace smiled sarcastically: "But will you protect me?"

"Let's make a deal." He flicked the soot of his finger and lowered his voice. "Grace, broke your engagement with Mason tomorrow. Marry me and I will promise to protect you."

"Funny." She seemed to hear the funniest joke in the world and laughed aloud, "Mr Carl, are you letting me change the groom directly? How do I know if you will save me or destroy me?"

"You have no choice." With a sneer, he took out two envelopes and placed them in front of Grace.

In the envelope, one was a marriage agreement and the other was an indecent photo of lily before her death.

Grace was trembling all over holding the two documents.

How did he have these photos?

"Grace, you still have six and a half hours to think about it." He looked at the expensive watch, sat down on the sofa with a low voice. 'tomorrow morning at 7 o'clock. If you don't sign the contract, these photos will be the headlines of Romantic city's major news. At that time, Lily, who has been proud all her life, will lose her fame."

"Carl, are you threatening me?" Grace clenched her lower lip and her heart felt an inexplicable pain.

However, he slowly vomited out a smoke ring and said in a hoarse voice, "I just want to achieve my goal faster. I said that you can only be a woman in Carl family. It doesn't matter. Just think about it. I can give you the time."noveldrama

At this point, he lit another cigarette and began to smoke.

"Asshole!" Grace couldn't help scolding.

He ignored her, but took off his watch and placed it in front of her. Letting her listen to the ticking of the second hand to remind her of the passage of time.

As time went by, the morning sun sprinkled in through the large floor-to-ceiling windows.

It's six in the morning.

Grace gave Carl a hard look, finally picked up the pen and signed her name on the marriage agreement.

She did not dare to gamble, nor could she afford to gamble.

"Very well." Carl smiled with satisfaction, took out his cell phone and called Warren cancel today's press release.

Just then, Grace's cell phone rang. Looking at Mason's name on the screen, she handed it to Carl and sneered, "Mr. Carl, you take the phone. So that you can show off your success in robbing his wife." "Sure." He didn't refuse, smiling and answering it.

"Grace, have you got up yet? Get ready. The car will pick you up soon. We have to do the bride makeup." Mason's gentle and pleasant voice came through the radio wave.

"Mr Mason, if you don't want to be too embarrassed, just cancel the wedding as early as possible." Carl smiled faintly. "Grace is already my wife."

"Carl?" Mason's voice suddenly cooled down. "Why are you at Grace's? What do you want to do?"

"Five minutes ago, Grace and I signed a marriage agreement. Now Grace can't marry you. I'm sorry." With that, he hung up the phone directly.

Looking at his contented appearance, Grace felt that he was quite evil. Now Mason was probably furious.

But now the house she lived in was Mason's, and all the protection she got was given by Mason family. If she and Mason did this, Mason would definitely not let her go. When Mason arrived, she would be dead.

So she looked up at Carl and narrowed her eyes "Carl, since we are legal couples now, should we live together?"

"Hmm?" Carl's handsome eyes narrowed, as if she didn't expect to say this.

"Since you want me to escape from marriage, let's do it" She hooked her lips and smiled. Suddenly she grabbed his hand and took him out of the villa.

At the end of the villa, Mason's car came at full speed.

Carl glanced up, took Grace's hand back, dragged her onto the co-pilot, then stepped on the accelerator and left with Mason at an extremely fast speed before Grace came after her. Grace clenched her seat belt and shivered with fear.

Looking at Mason's car, which was chasing after him. Grace raised her eyebrows at Carl and grunted coldly. "Carl, why don't you stop the car? It's not worth it to fight Mason family for me."

"Whether it is worth or not is up to me." He sneered and stepped on the accelerator to the bottom with one foot. He smiled and said, "Besides, how can my newly married wife hold a wedding with someone else?"
