Chapter 737 With My Heart, Understand Yours
"No, it's not the right time yet."
"He and Caroline just broke off their engagement. Going public now would bring only harm and no benefit."
"And..." Grace continued to complain, "If Ruby sees it, who knows what kind of trouble she'll cause us."
"As long as I haven't married him, I'll always be worried, so I don't want to stir up any trouble."
Linda looked at her, "At this point, Mr. Taft has already accepted you. Is Mrs. Taft still against it?"
"Yes, because the daughter-in-law she always wanted was Caroline. And why not? Caroline comes from a good family, she's an only child. If Quentin marries her, it means he gets the entire Stewart family. Who wouldn't be tempted by that?"
"Aren't you afraid Mr. Taft will be tempted?"
Grace smiled confidently, "No, he had that choice and still chose me without hesitation."
"So, I'm willing to trust him."
"But Ruby is his mom. She gave birth to him, raised him. Their bond is strong, it's different."
Linda hesitated for a moment but then spoke up.
"Grace, have you ever thought that if you tell Mr. Taft about the baby, even if Mrs. Taft opposes you, he will stand by your side firmly?"
"You wouldn't have to be afraid anymore."
Grace immediately dismissed the idea without a second thought.
She reached out and grabbed Linda's arm tightly, "Linda, you must not tell Quentin about the baby. I don't want him to know."
"Why?"
"Since I've chosen to forgive him and spend my life with him, he's my future husband. As his wife, I want to care for him, cherish him, and love him."
"I don't want him to feel guilty, suffer, or even turn against Ruby because of this. Although I don't like Ruby, from Quentin's perspective, if he knew she killed his baby, he would only feel pain and suffering."
"I keep asking myself, do I just want him to know the truth and then resent Ruby?"
Grace shook her head firmly, "No, I want him to be happy. I want us to spend our lives together in mutual support."
"Knowing this kind of pain, I can bear it alone. He doesn't need to suffer too."
After saying this, she immediately sent a message to Quentin: [What should I do? Do you think people recognized me in the video just now?]
Linda stood by, deeply moved.
Perhaps this was what it meant to love someone deeply.
Every word and action, every consideration, was not just for themselves but for the other person.
They were a part of each other.
How could that not be touching?
"So Linda, promise me, no matter when or what the situation is, you won't tell him, okay?"
Grace held her hand tightly, demanding a promise.
"Okay, Grace, I promise you."
At that moment, Willie took a moment to call Grace.
Knowing what she was worried about, Willie immediately answered according to Quentin's instructions, "Ms. Morgan, Mr. Taft has received your message. Don't worry, only Mr. Taft and I heard what you said just now."
"The video wasn't projected, so no one else saw it."
"Okay, thank you, Willie. By the way, how much longer will his meeting last?"
"At least another hour and a half."
She finally felt relieved.
After hanging up, she started to get some nail polish remover.
Linda looked puzzled, "You just painted them, they look so pretty, why are you removing it?"
"I thought about it carefully, and I think I mentioned the color of my nails just now. People are very sharp these days. If they find out, it won't be good."
After removing her nail polish and washing her hands, Grace picked up the tablet that Linda had thrown on the couch.
She ate an apple while leisurely browsing Marlon's trending topic.
And she couldn't help but comment with relish, "Marlon must have spent a lot of money to get so many people to praise him."
"I have to say, the writing skills of those guiding online public opinion have improved a lot. It's really impressive."
"But it's a pity for them. Marlon's reputation is already ruined, and they still have to help him save face against their conscience."
Linda was getting anxious.
"Grace, how can you be in the mood for this? With Marlon's character, he'll eventually turn the topic to you."
"I know!" Grace threw away the apple core and analyzed carefully, "Marlon's methods are vicious and ruthless. It's hard to predict his next move, so we must stay calm and handle any trouble that comes our way."
"Also, Beth came to stop me today. We met."
Linda immediately got nervous and looked Grace over from head to toe.
"Are you okay? Did she do anything to you?"
Grace shook her head, "No, she believed Marlon's lies and thought I was plotting against her, so she came to plead with me."
"I gave her many hints, almost spoken Marlon's name bluntly. If Beth can't figure it out, then she's really hopeless."
"So I believe Beth is now suspicious of Marlon."
Linda finally felt relieved.
"That's a good strategy. It helps Beth see the truth and get rid of Marlon."
"Hopefully, Beth will see Marlon's true nature in time."
Grace continued to browse the comments.
After the wave of positive marketing, the real comments started to emerge.
Someone sighed: [The internet forgets. What a good husband, Marlon is just a scumbag, okay?]
[Marlon evades taxes and breaks the law.]
[Marlon can't go a single day without marketing himself? This is so fake, it's obviously insincere, disgusting.]
[Stop marketing, I'll hate a man like Marlon for the rest of my life.]
These comments were so excellent.
Grace logged into an alternate account she bought online a few days ago.
She liked all the comments criticizing Marlon.
This way, she could vent her pent-up emotions without being discovered. It was a win-win.
After doing all this, Grace put on a face mask and then did her makeup.
Linda looked at her, puzzled, "It's already evening, why are you putting on makeup?"
Grace was drawing her eyebrows. Hearing Linda's question, she turned around and smiled charmingly, "I'm going to pick him up from work, of course, I have to look pretty."
Her smile was soft, charming, and captivating, momentarily dazing Linda dazed.
Grace was indeed beautiful, which was why Linda had noticed her at first glance.
Perhaps it was also why Quentin liked and pampered her.
After finishing her makeup, Grace remembered that Quentin was wearing a light tan coat today, so she specifically chose a light tan coat as well.
