Five Years Wasted Now They Beg Her Back novel Chapter 144

Dorian’s eyes began to redden.

He gave a bitter smile.

"Grace, actually… I’m not that different from them."

"That day at the landfill, I…"

"I know," Grace interrupted him. "That wasn’t your fault."

Dorian froze.

He hadn’t expected her to say that.

He thought she would hate him for the rest of her life.

"Actually, when I came here today… I never expected you to accept the shares, much less forgive us."

Dorian took a deep breath, as if he had made a decision.

"I just… wanted to see with my own eyes if you were doing well."

"Cassian and Lucian can’t accept it. They still think there’s a chance. But I know the Hart family… was finished a long time ago."

"I tried to convince them not to bother you, but they wouldn’t listen."

"Seeing you doing so well now, with Mr. Clarke taking such good care of you, I can rest easy."

He spoke with sincerity.

Grace listened quietly, and the wall of ice that had surrounded her heart for so long seemed to crack, just a little.

Damien watched the scene, a faint smile playing on his lips.

He knew that no matter how tough his Grace appeared on the outside, deep down, she still longed for a sliver of familial warmth.

He didn’t want her to be truly alone in the world.

Those other Harts were rotten to the core and deserved whatever they got.

But this Dorian seemed to be the only one who could still be called a human being.

Keeping him around might be a good thing for her.

"I heard from Grace that you were in structural research for artificial intelligence when you were abroad?" Damien asked suddenly, changing the subject.

Dorian was a bit surprised, but nodded. "Yes, I was at a research institute for a few years."
