Chapter 194 Thoughtful Husband
"I know, but Hailey is my best friend. She saved my life. I can't abandon her." Grace sighed softly and said, "Carl, we are married and there are still many dates to come, but if something really happens to Hailey, I will never forgive myself in my life." "Well, I see." He smiled helplessly and lowered his voice. "Don't worry, I am a considerate husband. If you want to find Hailey, then go, but you have to pay attention to safety. I can't go with you. There are still many things I need to deal with in the company."
"Well, well, husband, thank you." Grace held his hand tightly and his face was filled with gratitude.
"Then you will make up for it by kissing me." Carl handsome eyes narrowed, closer to her.
He put his arm around her neck and gave her a "yummy" kiss.
He pressed her directly against the wall, kissed her lips and lingered with her.
It was a long time before he loosened her, gently rubbed her long hair, lowered his voice and said, "Go ahead, I'll wait for you at home."
"Good."
After that, Grace drove to the small town where Hailey once lived.
She came to the orphanage where Hailey and Aaron stayed before and asked the dean about the situation. The dean said Hailey didn't come back. She searched along the town all day and couldn't find Hailey.
In a twinkling of an eye, it was dark.
Grace walked wearily along the green flagstone path, his eyes full of worries. Didn't Hailey come here? Where will she go?
Just as she was thinking, a tall figure blocked her way. She got a fright and looked up. The person standing in front of her was Mason with a smiling face.
She was dazed and asked hastily, 'mason, why are you here?"
"I have lived here for several days and am tired of the intrigues in the city. It is leisurely and happy here and quite good." Mason hooked his lips and smiled, looked at her and asked, "It's you, haven't you just married Carl? How did you get here?"
"I'll find someone." She smiled awkwardly.
"Is it Hailey?" He said directly.
"Do you know where Hailey is?" She asked hastily.
"Well, I did see her this morning."
"Where is she? Is she all right?"
"It's too late now. I'll take you to find her early tomorrow morning. Don't worry, she's fine." Mason thought for a moment, then lowered his voice and said, "Let's have a good sleep tonight."
Hearing what he said, Grace was dazed and his heart was hanging. Only then did he let it go.
"Let's go, I'll take you back."
The two men walked forward side by side. Under the street lamp, the shadows were tightly together and looked ambiguous.
Grace kept his head down and stepped on his shadow, enjoying the quiet time.
It was a long time before she looked at him with a crooked head and said lightly, 'mason, thank you for your wedding gift, but why didn't you attend the wedding?"
"I don't want to see you marry someone else." His voice was clear and light, and he was somewhat sad in the bright moonlight.
Grace was shocked and said with a wry smile, "I'm sorry, I still failed you. You will definitely meet a better girl than me."
"No matter how good the others are, they are not you after all." He smiled absent and said in a hoarse voice, "Grace, I thought that after such a long time, I could finally forget you, but when I received your wedding invitation, my heart ached again."
"I can't go to your wedding. I can't see you standing beside other men. I'm afraid I can't help robbing you." At this point, he looked at her with low eyes and said word by word, "So Grace, promise me that you must be happy, otherwise, I will take you away from him regardless of everything."
"Well, I will be happy." Grace nodded affirmatively, as if he were saying it to him as well as to himself.
The next morning, Grace got up early, simply tidied himself up and went out of the door.
Mason was already waiting for her at the door. Seeing her coming, she handed her breakfast in her hand and said lightly, "Eat this. It will take physical strength for a while."
"Yes, thank you." Grace reached out and took it and ate all the breakfast obediently.
After that, Mason took her to the back mountain of the town and walked straight along the muddy path.
After walking for a long time, she was so tired that Mason pointed to the small tent not far away and said lightly, "Hailey is there."
Grace dazed, hurriedly trotted past, indeed as expected saw Hailey.
With her back to the tent, she was digging a hole with a small shovel, while Aaron's urn was beside her.
Grace got a big fright and rushed forward at once. He grabbed her and frowned, "Xin Yao, what are you doing? You must not do anything stupid."
"Grace, why are you here?" Hailey was shocked and looked at her with a full face of surprise.
"Of course I'm looking for you. Come back with me." At this point, Grace will drag her away.
However, she broke Grace, picked up Aaron's urn and sprinkled all the ashes inside into the pit she had dug.
She said with a wry smile: "Grace, don't worry, my pit is not used to bury myself. I won't die. I promised Aaron that I would live well, and I would definitely live well."
"Then what are you doing now?" Grace wondered.
"Planting trees." She pointed to the small sapling nearby and said smilingly, "When I was a child, Aaron told me that if he died before me, let me plant him into a tree, so that he could accompany me in another way." Hearing her words, Grace smiled bitterly and felt mixed feelings.
Looking at Hailey's serious appearance, she could not say anything more. She could only accompany her and finish the tree species.
After planting the tree, Hailey issued a marching order, saying that he wanted to stay here for a few days and let Grace and Mason go back first.
Grace naturally refused and wanted to stay with her, but Hailey locked himself in a tent and refused.
"What now?" Grace stood at the door of the tent, his face full of anxiety.
"Otherwise, let's go back first and come to see her tomorrow." Mason thought for a moment and whispered, "She is in a bad mood now and will not go with you."
Just as Grace hesitated, there was a loud noise in the tent, and then Hailey's runaway screams were heard.
"Ah-help!"
