Chapter 730 Will You Disgusted with Me
When Quentin said this, his hand was already under the pillow.
He was clutching the ring box, his long fingers gently caressing its smooth surface as his heart raced.
His gaze fell on her slender ring finger, and he suddenly became nervous.
The diamond ring was perfect for her.
The impulse in his heart was like a wild stallion.
He clenched his fist, having already taken the ring box out from under the pillow.
But just as he saw her smiling face, his large hand paused and then quickly retracted.
It was just an ordinary morning, and they were in bed. Proposing like this seemed too casual and hasty.
Although he was impulsive, he had to hold back.
He needed to plan it carefully.
Grace deserved the best.
He put the ring box back.
Just as he reached out to embrace Grace, his phone rang, breaking the moment. It was Willie calling.
She had just handed the phone back to him when her phone rang.
The notification was #QuentinAndCarolineEngagementCanceled: #ShockingBreakupNews!
Her heart skipped a beat, and she immediately clicked on it.
It was an account that posted entertainment news, with a large following and a history of reliable news, so everyone trusted it.
The article was long, several thousand words.
Grace finished reading it and rubbed her head, feeling a bit uncomfortable.
The article revealed that the engagement was called off by Caroline because she discovered that Quentin had many ex-girlfriends and belonged to a very open circle, making him unfaithful and a playboy.
But Caroline sought a lifelong partnership, a love that was faithful and enduring.
Quentin and Caroline had different views on love, and to avoid future hurt, Caroline initiated the breakup.
The article went on to praise Caroline, saying she was not only beautiful and talented but also came from a good family, being the daughter of the Stewart family, a major domestic powerhouse.
Such a wealthy heiress, with such awareness and courage to fight for her love, was truly a model of the new era.
In short, the article heavily praised Caroline.
The comments were also very clear-cut.
One group was criticizing Quentin.
[What kind of taste does Mr. Taft have? Caroline is so great, and he doesn't want her. I can't even find someone like her.]
[Scumbag, having a fiancée and flirting with other women.]
Of course, some supported Quentin.
[You can't say that. Everyone knows how things are in wealthy circles. A man with looks, power, and money who is also loyal and devoted is really rare. I think they're almost extinct.]
Someone immediately replied: [Isn't Mr. Walton a typical good husband? He loves, cherishes, and protects Mrs. Walton.]
Another group was supporting Caroline.
[I've become a fan of Caroline. She's so beautiful.]
[Supporting Caroline, she did what I wanted to do but didn't dare.]
[Good job. Can't we women have a loyal husband?]
Grace felt a pang in her heart. Just as she was about to put down her phone, Quentin leaned in, "What are you looking at so intently, not saying a word?"
Hearing his voice, she instinctively wanted to hide it.
But Quentin had already seen it.
She thought he would feel hurt or angry.
But to her surprise, he was very calm.
Taking the phone from her hand, Quentin placed it face down on the bed.
"Don't look at it. Why bother?"
Grace turned around and hugged him, "If you're feeling bad, let me hold you a bit longer."
"Am I that fragile? It's nothing to feel bad about."
"They're slandering and cursing you. You really don't feel bad?"
Quentin smiled and confidently said, "Not at all."
"But luckily," he suddenly added.
"Luckily, what?"
He gently stroked her hair and spoke from his heart, "Luckily, the one being slandered and cursed isn't you."
As long as it wasn't her, he was willing to bear it all.
"Quentin." Grace hugged him tightly, burying her head in his chest, "You jerk, you're making me cry."
"Be good, let me kiss you, and don't cry."
His soft lips touched her small, red lips.
But this time, he didn't linger, just a brief kiss as comfort.
Grace still felt down.
Thinking about him being cursed and slandered like that made her feel bad.
"Cheer up, okay?"
"I can't."
"Silly, you should be happy."
"Happy about what?" She frowned.
"Happy that with my bad reputation, no other woman will dare come near me. Everyone will stay away, and you won't have to worry about other women bothering me."
Grace laughed out loud, "You really have a positive outlook."
Seeing her smile, Quentin finally asked the question that had been on his mind, "Now that I've been successfully abandoned, will you take me in, or will you despise me?"
"If you don't take me in, I'll be homeless."
Grace found his hand and intertwined her fingers with his, holding tightly.
"I will."
Such a simple sentence, but she said it with determination and strength.
These past few days, Grace had been immersed in intimate happiness, paying less attention to the entertainment world.
Until Linda called her.
"Grace, what's going on between you and Beth?"
Grace looked puzzled. "What do you mean? I haven't had any contact with her since we left the set."
"I'm talking about the stuff online!"
"Some public accounts always like to exaggerate, blowing small things out of proportion and making them sound dramatic."
Linda nodded, "So you've seen it?"
"Yes, but I saw only a few people posting about it, not much attention, and it didn't gain traction, so I thought it best to ignore it."
"It was a very obscure topic. If I responded, it would seem like it was true."
"And Beth hasn't said a word either, right?"
Linda thought for a moment and agreed.
"Okay, you handle it. If anything comes up, discuss it with me."
"By the way, someone on Instagram revealed that she's trying on wedding dresses, taking wedding photos, and has booked a hotel. I heard she's marrying Marlon."
Grace was shocked, her face full of disbelief.
"Linda, are you sure? Marlon is like that, and Beth still wants to marry him?"
"I'm puzzled too. With Beth's status, she could marry anyone, but she chooses that scumbag. She's really lost her mind."
"Beth isn't just lost her mind; it's like she tends to self-torment."
