Thinking back on all the moments with Little Henry, the sincere feelings and care Little Henry had for her, Grace Harper felt a sharp pain in her chest. She didn’t want the person she liked to be such a selfish person—someone who even treated his own sister this way. How could he possibly treat her well in the future? Everything in the past had been a lie.

“Let’s go back. I don’t want to watch anymore.” Grace Harper finally processed what Lillian Reed had said, and suddenly lost all interest.

At this moment, she felt only a deep sadness, not even sure if it was for Little Henry or for herself. She still couldn’t quite believe that the person she liked was like this. Only now did she understand why her family had opposed her being with Little Henry, and maybe she really had been wrong.

……

Amid a cloud of gray dust, Little Henry sped up and rushed out. Behind him, the cement mixer was still roaring hysterically.

Although he was covered in a layer of dust and mud from head to toe, Little Henry was in an extremely good mood. Today was payday, and he had already spoken with the foreman Uncle Alice; after finishing today’s work, he could collect more than half a month’s wages.

The foreman Alice was very good to newcomers. In fact, today wasn’t even the official payday, but Little Henry still received 1,300 yuan. Most of this money was earned from skipping classes and working at the construction site on weekends.

Holding over a thousand yuan, Little Henry almost rushed back to school in his eagerness. He quickly took a cold shower in the restroom, changed into clean clothes, and dashed out of the school again.

He was going to visit his little sister Evelyn Clark. In this world, his little sister Evelyn Clark was his only family. Evelyn was two years younger than him, but much smarter—not only did she attend a better school, but when he was a junior in college, his little sister was already a senior.

The only thing that made him feel like an older brother was that he could be responsible for his sister’s living expenses and tuition.

“Brother…”

Little Henry had just gotten off the bus when a girl standing at the entrance of Jiangzhou Foreign Language Institute called out excitedly and ran over to him.

“Evelyn, how did you know I’d be coming today?” Little Henry was a bit surprised to see his little sister waiting at the school gate.

“I was actually planning to go find you. Before I left, I called Uncle Alice, and he said you’d already picked up your wages and left, so I guessed you’d come here. Wait, you took a shower but didn’t even wash your face…” Evelyn Clark chattered away, as happy as a little bird upon seeing her brother Little Henry.

As she spoke, Evelyn Clark took out a handkerchief and wiped away the dust that Little Henry had missed on both sides of his nose. Neither of them noticed a Range Rover driving past.

“That’s Little Henry…” As Lillian Reed said this, she already knew that Grace Harper had also seen Little Henry.

Grace Harper said nothing. She watched as Evelyn Clark affectionately touched Little Henry’s face, feeling as if her heart was splitting open. Even though she was already utterly disappointed in Little Henry, she never expected that someone who relied on his sister for her education would not only be so extravagant, but also two-timing.

And the girl being so close to Little Henry was in no way inferior to her—long hair draped over her shoulders, wearing a light blue short-sleeved shirt that showed off a figure no less impressive than her own. Her fair face was lit up with a smile as bright as summer sunshine as she looked at Little Henry.

“Grace Harper, should we go down and ask?” Lillian Reed asked, noticing how pale Grace Harper looked.

Grace Harper shook her head, then leaned weakly against the back seat without saying another word. Some things can’t just be forgotten. For the past two years, all her happiness and joy had come from Little Henry. In just two years with Little Henry, she had gained more happiness and joy than in the previous decade. She had been moved countless times and had found persistence; she always believed it was Henry Clark who had shown her what love was.

But today, she discovered that Little Henry was not as she had imagined—he too wore a mask of hypocrisy, and didn’t even have the most basic decency. She wanted to say it was all fake, but she knew it was real, because she had seen it with her own eyes.

“These are for you.” Little Henry, unaware that Grace Harper had seen him, happily took out a thousand yuan and handed it to Evelyn Clark.

Evelyn Clark pushed Little Henry’s hand back. “Brother, I’m about to graduate, and I have enough money. Didn’t you get a girlfriend? Buy her something.”

Little Henry didn’t mind at all, stuffing the money back to Evelyn Clark and saying, “I still have some left. Besides, Grace Harper’s family is wealthy—she’s not with me for money. When you graduate, I’ll introduce you to Grace Harper. I haven’t mentioned you to her yet.”

“Okay.” This time, Evelyn Clark didn’t refuse. She understood what her brother meant. The reason he hadn’t mentioned her was because he was afraid Grace Harper would secretly spend money on her.

She never thought her brother Little Henry was unworthy of anyone. In this world, he was a match for any outstanding woman. But she knew that any woman who could fall in love with her brother must recognize his excellence.
