"After that, Brian told me he wouldn't celebrate his birthday anymore."

When Jasmine said this, her eyes were already wet. She raised her hand to wipe her tears and smiled. "Later, that woman gave birth to a son, and he became even more arrogant. He often stayed out at night and it can be said that the llegitimate son's childhood was thousands of times happier than Brian's. "But fate ensures justice. When Brian was in junior high school, he died."

Jasmine smiled again and asked, "Do you know how he died?"

Grace did not say anything while Jasmine continued, "He wanted to divorce me to marry that woman and make that illegitimate child a member of the Francis family.

"I agreed to the divorce, with the condition that Brian would stay with me, and all of the Francis family's assets would belong to Brian.

"He couldn't wait to take the woman home, so he agreed. He rushed back to get his documents for divorce procedures. When Brian found out, he chased after his father's car on his bicycle, wanting to stop him from divorcing me.

"In the end, his father got into a car accident on a bridge and died in front of him."

Jasmine closed her eyes slowly. "From then on, everything was settled. That mother and son came to look for me once. After I chased them out, they never appeared in Capern City again.

"But I know they will eventually come back."

Grace lowered her eyes and finally understood why she had never heard Brian mention his father.

Jasmine turned to look at her and held her hand. "Brian has lacked love since he was young. My marriage to his father has also traumatized him to a certain extent, so I'm really happy to see that he has chosen you.

"Now that I see our family finally reunited, it feels like a relief to me which makes up the regret in my heart.

"Grace, Brian did a lot of things that

hurt you when he was young and immature. I'm not asking you to forgive him and I just hope you can consider getting back together with him for the child's sake. If you still believe he's not a suitable husband or father after considering it, you can leave him and I won't say a word." noveldrama

Grace pursed her lips, feeling a pang at Jasmine's humble tone.

In truth, Jasmine didn't need to say all this since Grace had already begun to lean towards Brian in her heart.

While Jasmine had just mentioned Nelson at noon, Grace coincidentally received a call from him in the afternoon.

After learning about Brian's childhood from Jasmine, Grace's tone was colder when she picked up Nelson's call.

"Mr. Francis, what's the matter?"

Nelson paused and then chuckled. "Why? Can't I look for you when I'm free, Nova?"

Grace's lips curled slightly as she said indifferently, "Of course, you can. If you hadn't reminded me that my child might still be alive, I wouldn't have found Austin so quickly. I've always remembered your kindness and I should've

thanked you properly after came back."

There was a pause on the other end. "I haven't seen you in a long time. Let's meet up at the same place." Nelson hung up after saying that.

Grace looked at her phone and subconsciously pursed her lips, realizing that Brian and both

Grace arrived at the agreed-upon café.

"It's been a while, Nova. You seem to have gotten quite a tan."
