Mr. Jones Be Gentle (Grace) novel Chapter 52

Grace Smith looked at the car, but Marry Smith was not there.

Simon Brown was the only one here.

Didn't they just say that they would go shopping together? Why was Marry Smith not there?

Seeing that she didn't reply, Simon Brown pursed his thin lips and said, "I'm sorry about what happened yesterday, I was too upset."

Grace Smith glanced at him and took a step back to keep a safe distance.

Simon Brown felt embarrassed when he saw this. There was a hint of pain shown through his eyes.

Grace Smith looked at him and said, "Mr. Brown, please keep your distance."

Hearing this, Simon Brown immediately frowned and said, "Grace. I said it was my fault yesterday. I won't do it again. Don't worry."

Grace Smith was not at ease. She thought that Simon Brown might not be the same person she knew before. She even knew what he was like now, from what she heard in the VIP room of Heinz Jones's office.

It was impossible for her not to be vigilant.

"Are you done?" Grace Smith replied, "Goodbye."

Simon Brown frowned and saw that she was about to leave. He instantly stepped forward and blocked her way.

Grace Smith immediately moved away from him and didn't let him touch her.

Simon Brown saw that she was in such a hurry to avoid him and his eyes were filled with sadness. He explained, "Don't worry. I just want to ask you where you want to go, and I can give you a ride."

"No need for that." Grace Smith shook her head. "I can walk on my own."

"Grace. Even if we can't go back to the way it was when we were a couple. But I'm also your brother-in-law. We are still relatives." Simon Brown looked into her eyes and whispered, "You don't have to keep guard against me like this. I promise I won't hurt you again."

"Sorry." Grace Smith shook her head and said coldly, "I can't believe your promise. I don't want to have anything to do with you. I'm sorry. Please get out of the way."

A look of shock and pain flashed across Simon Brown's eyes. "We can't even be friends?"

"Never," Grace Smith said in a firm and low voice.

Simon Brown didn't seem to be able to accept it. He frowned and looked at Grace Smith with anger in his eyes. "Grace, when did you and I become like this?"

"Simon Brown." Grace Smith looked at him coldly and said in a calm voice, "In my opinion, we should keep some distance. I don't want my ex-boyfriend who is also my brother-in-law to be so close to me ."

"We are just friends." Simon Brown argued, "Besides, back then, it was a mistake." "Since you have made a mistake, you should bear the consequences. In addition, you thought that it is the best choice to be responsible for my sister, so continue with it. Don't let my sister down as she's deeply in love with you." After finishing these words, Grace Smith wanted to leave again.

Simon Brown was agitated and grabbed her wrist.

Grace Smith stiffened all over and said in a serious tone, "Simon Brown, don't disgust me. I will look down on you."

"Grace." Simon Brown's voice was filled with pain. He said word by word, "I really can't stand you being so estranged from me like this. Five years ago, you disappeared without a trace. Do you know how I feel?"

"It has nothing to do with me. It’s my sister's business." Grace Smith's felt sarcastic. A man who just talked about bedroom matters with her sister was now holding her arm and declaring his deep affection here. It was really ironic.

"Grace..."

Grace Smith interrupted him rudely, "Mr. Brown, in my memory, you are not the kind of man who cares about old feelings. Why do you have to put on a show here? I won't give you an Academy Award."

Simon Brown was stunned at first, but then he frowned and said, "Grace, you are really eloquent now. I haven't seen you for a few years and you've changed a lot."

"Let go." Grace Smith shook his hand away. "Get your hands off me."

Simon Brown struggled to get hold of her. He was shocked and couldn't believe that she was so determined.

"Grace Smith, I just want to give you a ride. Is there a need to do that?"

"It was Simon Brown who took the initiative." Lester immediately corrected himself.

Heinz Jones sneered and didn't say anything. He just walked in the direction of Simon Brown who was standing there silently.

Lester quickly caught up with him.

Soon, they arrived behind Simon Brown.

Simon Brown didn’t notice it at all. He still looked at the retreating figure of Grace Smith and didn't move for a long time.

"Mr. Brown?" Heinz Jones asked.

Simon Brown stopped gazing and turned to look at Heinz Jones. When he saw him, he paused for a moment. He then returned to normal and said, "Mr. Jones, you're here."

"Yes, Mr. Brown, you have been watching so intently for a while. Is there a beautiful lady?" Heinz Jones raised his eyebrows and said.

Simon Brown's face froze and he said, "No, there isn't."

"Oh, no ?" Heinz Jones looked at the direction where Grace Smith left and continued with a teasing voice, "I thought there was a beauty. Mr. Brown, why are you looking so absent-minded? Perhaps, you have a very high standard. Ordinary women are not worth your attention at all, and she can't be called a beauty in your view, right?"

"Mr. Jones, you must be fooling around." Simon Brown said with embarrassment and quickly changed the topic. "Let's go. My wife should be waiting ."

Heinz Jones glanced at him and said, "Since you're so considerate to Mrs. Brown, how could he be checking out a pretty woman? I must have been mistaken just now. Am I right, Lester?"

Lester was on the verge of breaking down. He could only smile and did not dare to reply.

Simon Brown could tell what Heinz Jones's words mean.

He pondered for a moment and calmly explained, "Oh, I just met an old friend, not some beautiful woman. Mr. Jones, you must be joking."
