Chapter 34
Lucas’s face showed a look of disappointment, but he didn’t say anything more.
He had intended to use the strategy of pretending to be hurt to soften her heart, but he didn’t expect to be exposed by the mouthy Jerry.
He dared not ask further, afraid of scaring her away.
Grace was still taking care of Lucas in the hospital, after all, Lucas got injured because of her.
After he had recovered from his injuries, Grace, who hadn’t been home for a long time, prepared to go back.
As soon as I arrived at the hospital, a large number of journalists swarmed in.
“Ms. Parrish, was your affair partner Lucas?”
Grace was immediately surrounded by reporters.
Reporters, like wolves, fiercely threw out one explosive question after another.
“Ms. Parrish, when did you and Mr. Palmer start? Was it
because of him that your relationship with Mr. Kaufman broke down?”
“Did Mr. Palmer have an extramarital affair with you just to seek excitement?”

“Ms. Parrish, please answer our question.”
Grace quickly regained her composure: “Antonio and I had already divorced, and I have never done anything to betray the marriage.”
“Mr. Palmer and I, we only had a working relationship.”
The official response did not satisfy the journalist.
The reporters had an attitude of not giving up until they dug up some juicy information: “Why did the cooperative relationship have to take care of him in the hospital for twenty–four hours?”
Grace was about to explain when she heard a familiar voice saying, “You can ask me if you have any questions, I am the person involved.”
Lucas was wearing a patient gown, with a coat on top.
He stood beside Grace and directly held her hand, saying, “Don’t be afraid, I’m here.”
Although Grace was unhappy with him leaving the ward with an injury and holding her hand in front of so many people.
But at this moment, there was an inexplicable feeling of peace.
“Mr. Palmer, were you and Ms. Parrish having an affair?”
Lucas slowly spoke, “I started pursuing her after Ms. Parrish’s divorce, but she never accepted my proposal.”
“She took care of me in the hospital because I saved her from getting hurt.”

“Please do not hurt her anymore with these sharp questions.”
Grace turned her head to look at Lucas, and a warm feeling washed over her heart.
She suddenly remembered Antonio smearing her in front of the reporters, and she was left isolated and labeled as an adulteress.
To this day, she still remembers the disdainful looks of those journalists at that time.
Lucas took all the responsibility upon himself and asked the journalists not to harm her.
It is false to say that one is not moved.
The journalist still had some reservations about Lucas, and his questions were no longer as sharp. “Mr. Palmer, do you think there was a possibility between you and Ms. Parrish?”
Lucas suddenly turned his head, and their eyes unexpectedly
met.
In the blink of an eye, there was a hint of amusement in his eyes as he said, “For this, you’ll have to ask Ms. Parrish.”
“Ms. Parrish, did you think I had a chance?”
Grace was asked a question and she was taken aback. All the journalists present seemed to be waiting for her response.
The tenderness in Lucas’s eyes made her heart suddenly beat faster.
The reporter couldn’t wait any longer: “Ms. Parrish, does Mr. Palmer have a chance?”

Grace looked at Lucas and suddenly felt that it seemed quite nice to be with a man like him.
She used to fantasize that Antonio would always stand in front of her no matter what happened.
She had fought alone for too long and also wanted to be protected, not to face all the problems alone..
Every time Lucas helped her, it was like peeling off her tough armor so that she didn’t have to bear it alone.
She raised her lips and, under the gaze of everyone, smiled and said, “There should be.”
Her voice was a little soft, but Lucas still heard it.
His thin lips lifted, and laughter overflowed in his eyes.
The journalist didn’t hear clearly and asked again, “Ms. Parrish, what did you say? Was it nothing?”
Grace repeated again, her voice slightly louder than before, “Yes.”
Lucas appeared calm on the surface, but as he held her hand, he gradually tightened his grip, revealing his excitement.
He held Grace in his arms and said, “Alright, we have answered all the questions.”
The journalist asked eagerly, “Mr. Palmer, will you invite the
media to your wedding with Ms. Parrish?”
Lucas was asked this question and he was very happy about it: “This requires seeking Ms. Parrish’s opinion.”
