Always Been You 19 The Reason
Grace didn't believe what she'd heard. She had already known the reason why her dad and mom got divorced from the beginning. However, she never wanted to know who the third wheel was. Now that she knew who her dad had been having an affair with, she was lost for words. “Grace.” Evan worriedly touched Grace’s arm. "Grace, please say something." Instead of replying to Evan's questions, Grace lowered her head, looking at the floor. She clenched her fists tightly. Learning Grace’s reaction to the information, Evan immediately regretted telling the truth. "I shouldn’t have said it," he mumbled and squeezed his hair. Then he got up from the couch and stood by the window, looking out. ‘Why does it have to be Evan’s mom? It would mean nothing to me was it someone else. But it’s my best friend’s mom. Why?’ Grace became so frustrated thinking about it. She repeatedly wiped her tears that wouldn’t stop flowing. Not to mention she now understood why Evan once suddenly cut off their communicati
Always Been You 20 Mood Breaker
“Evan, my heart is broken hearing this. But not because of what my dad has done. I honestly couldn’t care less about him. Not a single thing. Whether he married anyone or had another affair, to me I no longer have a dad. He’s dead to me and I won’t get hurt because of him. But now my heart’s broken and it’s because … it’s your mom, whom you never expected would have done such a thing. So now, I want to act as your best friend. I’m your support system here. Please stop hiding, let’s go through this together.” Grace’s words from last night kept ringing in Evan’s ear. Especially about her wanting to be his support system. It gave him strength when he woke up. Now he returned to the office in a much better state. Evan did not expect that Grace's response to this bad news turned out to be the exact opposite of what he had been afraid of. He even wondered if he'd told Grace straight away, he probably wouldn't have had to go through such a painful experience alone. The year before he return
Always Been You 21 The Dinner
Improving mood wasn’t an easy thing to do. Grace didn’t want to ruin the dinner with Evan. She wanted to make that night into an enjoyable moment. Her best friend had just passed a critical stage related to their parents’ affair. Hence Grace tried her best to positively respond to every topic Evan brought up along the way. Either with light laughter or some jokes. Luckily, it quite successfully lightened up her mood. “Whoa. A French restaurant. So this is the talk among my colleagues. They said it’s a fancy restaurant. And it’s expensive, Evan—ah, you’re a GM. It’s dirt cheap for you.” Grace chuckled, realizing who her best friend was now. Unbuckling her seatbelt, she got out of the car. Evan came from the other side. He locked the car and stood next to Grace. "Frankly speaking, I googled some good restaurants and found this as the first on the list," he said. "Aw. My dress doesn't match this place. It's too… plain." Grace looked up to Evan, pouting her lips in slight disappointmen
Always Been You 22 Rivalry
Living only with her mom wasn't always easy for Grace. Ever since her dad left, she had been paying more attention to the only family member left she had. Compared to her peers, she grew up and matured faster than them. When the others could still have fun, hanging out with their friends, she spent most of her time helping her mom. A few years back before living in England, Evan also regularly came to their house and helped deliver some orders. Now that his relationship with Grace was on the mend, he took the initiative to help again. Unfortunately, Grace didn’t approve of it with such firm resoluteness. Consequently, he only came several times a week to buy two or three kinds of pastry and a drink. That evening after a light debate, Evan drove Grace to her house. When they arrived, Indah was found to be busy in front of the house, serving drinks to many customers. As quickly as possible, they got out of the car and approached her. “Mom, why aren’t you finished yet? Everything would
Always Been You 23 This Feeling
As usual, the hotel's marketing department held a special internal event for office staff to celebrate Valentine's Day. This year's theme is 'Feeling Nostalgic', where anyone could send a secret love letter to someone they admired just like in school. Many of the staff were enthusiastic to participate in it, even though it wasn't obligatory. Every secret love letter would be collected in a special box, placed next to the door of each department before February 14th. These letters were distributed to each of the receivers on D-Day. That morning Grace found several love letters on her desk. Some were typed, and the rest were handwritten. She read them all and none impressed her. Thus they were just like the passing wind that left no mark. “This one looks like it's from Mario, ahem, Mr. Suganda, I mean.” As Nita received only a letter, she read all that Grace received. “It's neatly handwritten, has fine diction, and seems to express how he knows you well, Grace.” Grace responded casua
Always Been You 24 Confusion
‘Grace … is into someone else. Not me.’ Evan chose to back off at once. He did not want to face another affair once again in his life, as his mom had committed. He learned that his parents didn’t love each other when they got married. No wonder divorce was inevitable. “I think I have an appointment with someone else. I almost forgot. See you tomorrow, Grace,” said Evan as soon as they came out of the elevator. “Eh? Why—Alright. See ya.” It somehow made Grace upset. She looked at his back as he walked fast leaving the hotel. Now, Grace had to prepare her heart to face Anthony. From where she was standing, she could already spot the guy and his motorcycle. His red shirt beneath the jacket was seen and he waved at her as she walked closer. “Hi, Grace.” Anthony smiled seeing his crush coming. Grace smiled back at him. “Where are we heading?” she asked. “You’ll see. Now hop on. I know you don’t want to return home late.” Anthony gave another helmet to Grace and then hopped on the moto
Always Been You 25 Bar Fight
"Grace, are you okay?" Mario's voice broke Grace’s reverie. With a quick nod, Grace responded, "I’m sorry, Mr. Suganda. I was just lost in thoughts about some personnel of the F&B department who complained about their employee entitlements." That was an excuse that Grace could quickly put up with. Luckily her brain could work together to cover up the confusion that had plagued her mind since last night. Mario pulled out the blue folder in front of her and handed it to Grace. "For that one, you don't need to think about it. Now, please go to Mr. Williams's room and deliver this. Please note in detail if there is anything that he asks for revision. Because this one is urgent," he said. Since morning Grace had been trying not to get involved with Evan, or even just run into him. She didn't want to show her high curiosity and opened her mouth to directly ask the thing bothering her mind. Anthony had asked her not to talk about this before stalking him at a bar later this night. However
Always Been You 26 Time Out
With all the bruises all over Evan’s body and face, Grace wasn’t sure to take care of him herself at his apartment. She was too worried that something serious related to his health both physically and mentally would happen. Therefore she rushed him to the hospital to be taken care of well.After about an hour of medical check-ups, the doctor said there was nothing serious about Evan physically. His wound was cleaned and the doctor gave him a prescription.“All is good, Mrs. William. But noticing Mr. Williams’ medical record, I can see he experienced psychological issues a while back?” The doctor confirmed it to Grace, whom he thought was Evan's wife.However, Grace didn’t bother correcting the wrong assumption regardless. “Yes, Adjustment Disorder. Some trauma caused by internal familial conflicts,” she spoke frankly. “Do you understand his psychological condition?”The doctor took off his glasses and put them on the table. “You better discuss this matter with the specialist. I can’t t
