Chapter 36 - Chapter 36

Grace seemed to smile, and then she sat down in her chair. she took a deep breath then looked at Nicholas with his sweet smile.

"Honestly, when I saw last night's gunfire, I was terrified. It was as if I was forced to go back to those horrible times. The gunfire that kept on ringing was loud, the rancid smell of blood and the red color of blood, and all sorts of other things. But by my side, there's Korvy, and there's you too who have made it better. So I thought if, this time it's okay, this time it will be okay. Everything will be fine, and everything will be safe. I'm not alone. I am together with you, so I don't need to be afraid to move forward. I will try my best to forget that terrible incident and make it a memory. Yes, now I can wake up early, as usual, smile, and greet the sun as usual. Thank you, Nick. You were here last night for me as well as Korvy. Even Korvy told me that you would be willing to become a prisoner of that criminal to protect us. Thank you," Grace gushed. she took Nicholas' hand gently, and then she smiled. "But what makes me happier, you shouldn't have done that. I don't want you to get hurt and anything happens to you. Because for me, your safety is far more important than seeing you trying hard to catch the criminals,"

"And that would be even more terrifying, Grace. If the culprit isn't caught, we'll always be in danger. I don't want that to happen."

Grace nodded her head, then smiled again. she rubbed her face roughly and then looked at Korvin, who was currently watching the touching scene so closely.

"Aren't we going to eat? Why are you two putting on a very disgusting show this early? Come on, and I don't have a boyfriend, don't make me the saddest young man in the world just because of your annoying behavior,"

Grace and Nicholas also seemed to smile at Korvin's grumbling, and then they finally ate too.

"What are you doing now?" asked Nicholas then.

Korvin, who seemed to be enjoying the breakfast that Nicholas had made, also nodded while playing his fork perfectly.

"This morning, I will go to campus. There are some tasks that I need to complete. After that, I go to a restaurant because I have to deliver some food."

"What?" surprised Grace. Nicholas looked at Korvin perfectly, even though Nicholas had sent Sean to forbid Korvin from working part-time. How come even until this moment, Korvin is still working too.

Korvin, who felt he had said something wrong, immediately shook his head perfectly.

"Um, I didn't mean it like that," Korvin began. "Some time ago, there was indeed a slightly unpretentious man from Nick came, and he told me to stop working part-time. But after all, I am a man. How can I rely on money from my sister? So I have to make money with my sweat to pay for living as well as to continue my studies."

Plaque!

"What are you doing! It hurts!" annoyed Korvin when Grace hit him on the head. Grace immediately looked at Korvin with the expression on her extraordinarily annoyed face, and she didn't expect her sister to be like this.

"Who do you think you are?" Grace said then. Korvin swallowed hard. "Do you think you are a caveman living in the middle of the forest alone? I am your brother, the only brother you have, and I only have you. Then how can I ignore you and let you work hard while still in college? If you want to return the favor and feel bad, show me you can graduate with good grades work properly in a big company. That's what I want more than anything else, Korvy. After all, my goal is to work for you. You forget, who is this who is the backbone of the family? Who takes care of me, even who does everything for me? I am an older brother, but you have been the one who took the brother's position all this time. I don't want you to think like that, still work and assume that if you My money is not yours."

"But, Grace—"

"What Grace said is true, Korvy. You'd better focus on your studies and graduate with great pride. She was working in a big company rather than working part-time like this. What's in it for you? Futile and pointless. So my advice, stop being stubborn and do whatever Grace tells you to. I'm sure Grace is much happier than you being stubborn."

"Nick, Grace is my older sister. I have nothing to give her when she has a boyfriend to marry. So I don't want to spend her money. I want to save her money for her future wedding expenses and buy her a house and a car to live calmly and comfortably. she can't be working with you forever, can she? And I also don't want Grace to continue to be a laborer. So I want Grace to be able to be independent, enjoy her time happily ever after."

"You don't have to worry about Grace's wedding and stuff. I'll take care of all that."

"It means?" Grace asked this time. Nicholas smiled confidently.

"I won't let my bride spend a penny on our wedding, will I?"

Grace immediately glared at him, while Korvin seemed to smile at that. Grace looked at Nicholas with a red face, who had said so far now.

"What are you saying? Since when did I agree to be your bride-to-be? I never said that" Grace drank the mineral water in front of her, then she tried to fan her face, which was so hot. Korvin, who saw that, poked Grace's arm teasingly.

"Of course not now. I'm sure you'll agree later that we're getting married. Who cares what you think now. Isn't that right, korvy?"

"Yeah! I agree with you, Nick. The thought of you being my brother-in-law makes me very happy about that. We'll be playing together all day long."

Nicholas and Korvin seemed to blast, making Grace massage her temples which suddenly hurt. He had no idea that these two men had conspired to make him helpless. How could these two men be more intimate than he had imagined now? Since when? Grace didn't know that at all.
