Chapter 19
For three consecutive days, the three brothers did not come back.
Arianna’s messages, however, never ceased.
In the photo, Alden gently helped her apply the medicine, Drake held a bouquet and placed it in a vase, and Bryce held a plate of fruit and fed it to her.
“Ms. Parrish, you see, I just twisted my ankle, and they were so concerned about me, taking care of me so well. I don’t even know how to repay them.”
Grace glanced over, pretending not to see.
She was busy sorting out everything that had been related to them over the years.
When they played house as children, they draped the veil over her head.
At the coming–of–age ceremony, they presented a white long dress, crystal shoes, and a diamond crown.
Including the love letter in the drawer that had no chance to be sent.
She threw everything into the brazier, lit it, and gradually consumed all of it.
As Grace watched the diminishing contents in the brazier, the fire burned brighter and brighter. She couldn’t help but feel

that everything from the past had completely vanished.
When the three brothers came back, they happened to see this scene, and their hearts suddenly stopped beating.
“Grace, what were you doing?!”
Bryce shouted anxiously and quickly fetched water to extinguish the fire.
Alden and Drake also quickly searched for things at hand that could be used to extinguish the fire.
Grace, however, just watched silently. Because she burned quickly, even if the fire was extinguished in the end, she didn’t salvage anything.
There was only a pot of ashes and some fragments left.
Drake looked at her incredulously, “Grace, everything was perfectly fine. Why did you burn these things?”
“I said that I was getting married, and my husband might misunderstand if he saw these, so I just burned them all.”
Seeing her so indifferent, the three of them panicked and almost thought she was serious.
But then, upon further reflection, I quickly told myself in my mind, it’s impossible, she would never get married!
Alden’s eyes darkened, his brows slightly furrowed. “Grace, it’s enough to act out of spite to this extent. It won’t be interesting if you continue to make a scene.”
Grace calmly watched them and coldly said, “Tomorrow at noon, Alden, Drake, and Bryce are invited to come and

witness.”
The next day, Grace changed into her wedding dress and prepared to get married.
Wesley and Karlee sat beside her, watching her in her

wedding dress. Karlee wiped away tears sadly and said, “Grace, if you’re not doing well over there, remember to come back and find us for support.”
She nodded and smiled as she took Karlee’s hand.
At that moment, footsteps could be heard coming from upstairs.
Looking in the direction of the sound, it was only then that I realized it was Alden, Drake, and Bryce.
Seeing that a few people were getting ready to leave, Karlee quickly called out to them, “Stop, today is Grace’s wedding, what are you still planning to do?”
Alden saw Grace put on her wedding dress, and a hint of astonishment flashed through his cold eyes involuntarily. However, he pretended to be indifferent and said, “Dad, Mom, even if Grace is acting out of anger towards us, why did you believe her words?”
“What do you mean by acting out of spite? Grace is getting married; can’t you see it?” Wesley exclaimed angrily, staring with his eyes wide open.
Drake looked indifferent and said, “I saw it, I saw her throwing a tantrum and pretending with us again.”
Bryce, on the other hand, appeared completely indifferent,

with his hands casually tucked in his pockets. “Grace, since you’re so eager to play, we’ll join you and see if anyone actually shows up for the wedding, and also check out the actors you’ve hired.”
Time passed by minute by minute, and the clock hands had already reached noon, but no one came.
Bryce breathed a sigh of relief and mockingly said with a relaxed expression, “Didn’t you act pretty well before? How come this time you even forgot to find the actors?”
Drake also breathed a sigh of relief, “That’s enough, it’s been going on for so long, Grace, quickly take off the wedding dress, no need to continue acting.”
Alden, with deep and mysterious eyes, looked at her and said, “You’re making such a fuss just because we had a great time with you at the City Hall half a month ago. Let’s go now, the three of us, and you can choose one.”
Grace frowned and was about to speak when Arianna’s phone suddenly rang.
She cried on the other end, gasping for breath, “Alden, Drake, Bryce, my mother had a car accident, what should I do? My mother is my only support, if I don’t have her, I don’t want to live anymore, sob…”
Upon hearing these words, the expressions of the three individuals suddenly changed.
“Don’t worry, we will be there soon!”
They walked quickly towards the door, speaking as they went.

Karlee shouted sternly at them, “Stop right there! No one is allowed to go look for Arianna!”
“Today was Grace’s wedding day, if you weren’t there, you would regret it!”
The three of them exchanged glances, all filled with impatience. “Grace belongs to us, who dares to marry her? Mom and Dad, stop pretending with her. Once we handle Arianna’s matters, we will go and marry Grace.”
Before the words had even fallen, the three people had already walked out one after another.
Wesley and Karlee were so angry that they dropped the tea cups from their hands as they watched them leave.
“They would regret it, they would regret it!”
Just as the three cars had just sped away, the honking sound of a car came from outside the door.
Grace hurriedly ran out and saw a whole row of luxury cars parked outside the Hawthorne’s place.
The bodyguards got out of the cars one after another, countless hands holding flower petals were pulled apart, and the petals scattered in the sky.
Aaron took the initiative to step out of the car and
respectfully opened the door.
“Mrs. Kaufman, I’m sorry, there was a traffic jam and I arrived late.”
“It’s okay.”

Grace smiled understandingly and then turned around, her eyes turning red as she looked at Wesley and Karlee. “Mr. and Mrs. Hawthorne, I… got married.”
Wesley and Karlee’s eyes also turned red, and they reached out to hold her hand. “Hey, child, you must be happy, okay.”
“Yes, Mr. and Mrs. Hawthorne.”
She would be happy.
Grace hugged the elderly couple, then took one last look at the place she had called home for over a decade. Carrying layers upon layers of wedding dress train, she got into the car without looking back, heading towards her brand–new life…
