She continued to persuade him, “Justin, I know you must have suffered a lot growing up with mother all these years, but your father also wants to make it up to you all these years.” Text content © NôvelDrama.Org.

It was unknown if Justin was listening to her. He looked down at the medical records on the table, picked up a pen, and continued working.
Angie said a lot, but he remained unmoved.
Angie was about to give up when someone knocked on the door. Both of them looked up at the same time.
“Mr. Justin, the roses you ordered are here.” A delivery man stood at the door with a bouquet of fiery red roses.
A smile finally appeared on Justin’s face. “Put it on the table. Thank you.”
Angie looked at the bouquet of roses in surprise. When she thought of what Justin had said just now, she opened her mouth in disbelief.
The significance of red roses was widely known and universally understood. Red roses traditionally symbolized love, passion, and deep affection. They were often associated with romantic gestures and expressions of strong emotions.
Even though Justin was generally gentle with everyone, he wasn’t known for casually sending flowers to just anyone. She wondered what might have transpired during her absence to prompt such a gesture.
Angie took a while to find her voice. “Justin, have you got a girlfriend?”
Justin said lightly, “I’m still pursuing it.”
Angie frowned. “So you’re going out for dinner with her tonight.”
Justin nodded slightly and smiled.
“Where are you meeting?” Angie asked curiously.
“Luxe Cuisine,” Justin replied.
Angie nodded mechanically, thinking, ‘It was the most expensive restaurant in Capern City. It seemed that he was very concerned about this woman.
She pondered who was fortunate enough to be the favored lady in his eyes.
“Who is she?” Angie continued to ask curiously.
Justin’s hand, holding the pen, paused. He looked up at her. “Grace.”

Angie experienced a surprise upon learning that the lady in question was Grace, someone she did not expect at all.
She had actually thought of this possibility just now. Previously, Justin had indeed taken good care
of Grace.
However, Grace had a child. Moreover, her background was so complicated. Angie felt that Justin would not like Grace. At most, he would just pity her and sympathize with her.
However, she did not expect that after staying by Justin’s side for so many years, she could not compare to a pregnant woman with an unclean background.
Angie asked softly, “Justin, are you joking with me?”
Justin smiled. “Do you think I would joke about such a thing?”
Angie could not help but raise her voice. “Have you forgotten that she has a child?”
“I didn’t forget.”
Angie felt that he was really ridiculous. “You don’t even mind that she has a child. Don’t tell me you’re so happy to be someone else’s father.”
Justin frowned. “As long as she is willing to promise me, I will treat her child as my own.”
Angie felt her mind go blank. She did not understand what spell Grace had cast on him.
“Justin, you really should calm down. I’ll advise you to calm down and think about it carefully. Perhaps you were just impulsive, or perhaps you’re not suitable for her.”
Justin was a little annoyed. “Angie, I feel that, as my good friend, you should be encouraging me.”
A good friend automatically defined the relationship between them.
Angie’s heart turned cold. After a pause, she felt that she needed to calm down. “I’ll leave first.”
Justin glanced at her retreating figure, then lowered his head to check the time on his phone screen.. Afterward, he stood up, holding a bouquet of roses.
In the apartment, Grace looked at herself in the mirror. There were still some marks on her neck, but they were much lighter. She should be able to cover them with some makeup.
At five o’clock, Justin came downstairs to pick her up.
