Being hugged by Summer, Grace was wailing with a red face, like a child who had lost her way and couldn't find her home.
Called by Mark, Summer told him that she wouldn’t go back tonight and would stay at the hotel.
Grace was sitting on the ground surrounded by many bottles that were all drained by her. Her breath smelled of alcohol.
Early the next morning.
When Summer woke up, she saw Grace sitting on the bed and hugging her knees
in a trance.
Summer felt sorry for her, gently shaking her arm. "Why don't you sleep more? You wake up so early."
Grace didn't sleep all night. There were dark circles under her eyes. She looked haggard, curling her lips. "I've slept enough.
"Grace," Summer called sadly.
"Eh?" Grace slightly tilted her head and looked at Summer. "What's wrong?"
"Let's go shopping."
Summer thought that Grace loved shopping, which might be a good distraction for her.
Grace shook her head. "I'm so tired. I want to sleep." "Then I'll accompany you!" "Go home now. You have work and two kids. You didn't go back last night. How can you not go back again today?"
Summer refused.
How could she feel easy about leaving Grace alone? Summer couldn't go and didn’t dare to.
"I'm fine. Didn't you say that I'm a devil? How can a devil be defeated so easily? It's just a man. Do you think I will kill myself for a man?
"Summer, I won’t. I love my life more than him. Changing myself for a man is my bottom line!"
Summer was still unwilling to go. Grace directly pushed her out of the hotel room.
