Chapter 663 Will He Attend the Birthday Party? 2
Quentin, however, didn't mind. "That's perfect, we can call off the engagement."
"Quentin," Caroline pleaded pitifully, "Can you bear to see me become a laughingstock?"
After saying that, she hung up the phone, sobbing.
Grace listened quietly, without making any comments.
Suddenly, she felt a warmth in her palm; Quentin had taken her hand.
His hand was big and warm.
However, just as the car was about to arrive, Quentin's phone rang again.
This time, it was Ruby calling.
Quentin saw it and immediately hung up.
But Ruby was persistent, calling four times in a row.
Quentin was equally resolute, refusing to answer.
After getting out of the car, he held Grace's hand and walked inside.
Just as they were stepping through the door, Facebook notifications sounded.
It was a message from Ruby.
After seeing the content on Facebook, Quentin suddenly panicked.
He looked at Grace at the same time. "I've already reserved the private room. Just give my name, and wait for me there. I'll be there soon."
"Okay." She nodded and went in by herself.
Quentin immediately called Ruby, "Who told you to bring Helen over? Do you know how many people are at Caroline's birthday party? Aren't you afraid Helen will have an episode?"
Ruby retorted forcefully, "Of course I know. Do you think I wanted to? Helen overheard someone talking about your engagement to Caroline and found out about her birthday party today. She insisted on coming to see Caroline."
After hanging up, Quentin got into the car and instructed the driver to head to Caroline's birthday party.
Grace entered the private room, her favorite style. It was unique, and when the window opened, the fragrance of flowers filled the air, bringing her joy.
But she waited for Quentin for half an hour, and he hadn't come in.
Even the waiter had come by several times, asking if she wanted to order.
"Just wait a bit longer!"
And so she waited, and waited.
An hour later, Grace received a call from Jessica: "Grace, are you okay?"
"I'm fine, why do you ask?" Grace replied.
"Have you really moved on from Quentin? Do you not care anymore?" Jessica asked.
Grace was a bit puzzled. "What do you mean?"
Jessica was surprised.
Then she thought, 'Maybe Grace didn't know Quentin was at Caroline's birthday party. Since she didn't know, there's no need to tell her and make her sad.'
"Nothing, just a sudden thought. Grace, if you can forget him, maybe it's a good thing. I'm free today, let me know if you need anything." Jessica remarked.
Grace nodded. "Okay."
After hanging up, Jessica silently deleted the photos she had just taken.
Caroline's birthday party today also invited the Walton family. Gabriel was on a business trip, so Jessica had to attend. As soon as she arrived, she saw Quentin.
Jessica thought Grace knew and wanted to comfort her. But Grace didn't know, so Jessica stayed silent.
Despite this, Grace found out through social media. Seeing the birthday party photos, Grace felt frozen, her body stiff.
At that moment, she could barely move a finger.
Suddenly, she burst into laughter. With a loud, bright tone, "Grace, you're truly naive, falling for their tricks."
She trusted him so much.
But what about him?
All he brought her was deceit.
Quentin, what a guy. He didn't even get tired, sweet-talking her while going to Caroline.
Just then, Instagram pushed a live stream of Caroline's birthday party.
With trembling hands, Grace gently clicked on it.
The scene was lively, beautifully decorated.
Everyone was dressed to the nines.
Especially Caroline, who wore a white puffy dress, looking cute and charming.
It should be the climax of the birthday party.
The birthday song was playing, everyone was singing along, and Caroline stood in the center, the star of the show.
And Quentin stood right beside her.
After the birthday song, Caroline smiled sweetly, thanking everyone for coming and for their blessings.
The crowd shouted, "Make a wish, blow out the candles."
Caroline immediately clasped her hands together, made a wish, and blew out the candles.
In the crowd, someone said, "What did you wish for? Let us guess. It must be to live happily ever after with Mr. Taft, right?"
"Not necessarily, maybe she wished to marry Mr. Taft soon and become the daughter-in-law of the Taft family, and have a child for them."
Caroline blushed and smiled, looking happy and sweet.
The crowd became even more lively. "Caroline is embarrassed. Looks like we guessed right."
Suddenly, everyone's attention turned to Quentin.
"Mr. Taft, it's Caroline's birthday, you should say something!"
Caroline immediately tugged at his fingers and whispered, "Quentin, please, there are so many people here, don't embarrass me, okay? Even if it's fake, please."
Seeing her pleading expression, Quentin softened.
He reached out and took Caroline's hand.
At that moment, Quentin and Caroline's fingers were tightly intertwined.
How sweet and loving they looked.
But it pierced Grace's heart deeply.
"Thank you all for coming to Caroline's birthday party, and thank you for your blessings."
Quentin smiled faintly, his deep voice magnetic and powerful.
Caroline smiled sweetly and suddenly stood on tiptoe to give Quentin a light kiss on the cheek.
She blushed and expressed shyly, "Thank you, Quentin."
The crowd became even more lively. "Wow, Mr. Taft and Ms. Stewart are so in love."
"Yeah, they're really showing off their love!"
Grace felt all her strength drain away.
She couldn't bear to watch any longer and exited the live stream.
The waiter had come in for the umpteenth time. "Ms. Morgan, would you like to order?"
Grace shook her head. "No, thank you."
There was no need anymore.
She picked up her bag and walked out the door.
In the restroom, she splashed water on her face frantically. Only when she felt less miserable did she lift her head.
Suddenly, a familiar voice came from behind, "Grace? Is that really you?"
The person in front of her was the popular star Cindy Lewis.
Grace was a bit stunned, but Cindy had already affectionately linked arms with her.
"By the way, I'm having dinner with a few directors here. They were just talking about you. Come join us!"
Saying that, Cindy was already pulling her towards the private room.
