You, Me And Our Genus Twins

Chapter 309

"Ann…" Grayson hesitated for a second.

Instinctively, he recalled what Sebastian and Lucas had told him before this. They said that after Ann was released from the detention center, she would want to marry him.

Now, Ann suggested going home with him. Had Sebastian and Lucas really guessed it right? Did Ann want to… marry him?

No, there's no way. Ann just treats me like her brother.

She had just been through such a horrible episode. Her adoptive mother didn't want to care about her anymore, and she had nowhere to go. It was reasonable for her to just grab tightly onto the only person who was still by her side subconsciously.

Ann just sees me as her brother and her family. I shouldn't make it too complicated. Yes, that's it!

After taking a deep breath, he turned around and said, "Don't be afraid, Ann. We're brother and sister who grew up together since we were young. Naturally, I will take care of you. I…"

"I finally know who's the best for me, Grayson!" Ann didn't give him the chance to finish his sentence. She leaped into his arms, wrapping her arms around his neck and sobbed into his chest with her face buried in it. "Thank you, Grayson! Thank you so much! I really don't know what to do without you…"

At this moment, his body was stiff, and his arms were frozen beside his body. He didn't dare move an inch.

Sebastian's voice started to resonate in his ears in the nick of time. 'I'm the one she wanted last time. She looked down on you, so she didn't want to marry you. However, once she's released from the detention center, her reputation will be on the ground, and she will be kicked out of the Hart Family. News about us not recognizing her status as the cousin of the Hart Family will spread too. By that time, she might be willing to marry you.'

It continued, 'Grayson, if Ann changes her mind in the future and wants to marry you, she will definitely say that after everything she has been through, she still feels that you're the best. You're the one who really loves and cares about her. She'll claim that she has fallen in love with you and wants to marry you after being moved by your actions. Will you believe her if she says that?'

Right now, Ann's voice and what Sebastian said practically overlapped with each other. Did Sebastian really guess it right?

At this thought, Grayson was very shocked and pushed her away sharply.

Ann stumbled a few steps backward from the push and looked at him in shock. "What's wrong?"

Then, he looked at her haggard and sallow face, the dark circles under her eyes, and her reddened eyes from the constant crying. He became soft-hearted at once. "Nothing. I'm just trying to say that we should leave now. Other people are watching…"

Hearing that, she turned around and glanced at the place before grinding her teeth. "I'll never come to this kind of place again in my life!"

It's too scary here! I swear that I'm not going to come here ever again!

However, Grayson's mind was in a mess right now, and he didn't hear what she said. He then walked to his car absent-mindedly.

Ann followed him from the back and linked arms with him before asking anxiously, "Grayson, you won't chase me away, right? I'm really scared. I don't dare go home alone. Can't you just take me in for some time and send me back home when I'm feeling better?"

Fear crawled all over her face, and she chose her words carefully. Seeing that, he just couldn't reject her, so he nodded. "Okay." Material © of NôvelDrama.Org.

Only at this moment did she feel at ease. Luckily, Grayson is still the same.

After what happened, it would be impossible for her to marry Sebastian anymore. Not only that, other wealthy families in Dusktown would never consider her either. Since she had entered a detention center before and was a woman with a criminal record, the prestigious families would never let their descendants marry her.

If she was still the Hart Family's cousin, she could've chosen anyone from the second- or third-class families. If Philip was willing to stand up for her, she might even be able to marry into a top-class family.

Unfortunately, she was too into Sebastian previously and could only see him in her eyes; she didn't want to marry anyone other than him. Being too obsessed with him and pushing herself into an impasse was her worst move.

Now, lesser-known families and second- or third-class wealthy elites wouldn't choose her, let alone the top-class families.

As such, her only choice now was Grayson. She had to latch onto him tightly and marry the man.

If she could marry him, she would still be the mistress of a wealthy family in high society. With that, the rest of her life would still be prestigious.

Those ladies in Dusktown who were jealous of her previously would still be envious of her. She wouldn't fall down here and be stepped on the ground. There was still a happy future ahead of her!

At this thought, she hugged Grayson's arm tightly as though she was hugging her only hope now.

On the other hand, Grayson's body was stiff, and he felt very uncomfortable. Nonetheless, he understood that she had been through so much and was afraid, so he didn't push her away.

Both of them didn't talk much on the way back.

When they arrived at Grayson's house, they saw someone in the living room after opening the door. There was not only one, but three of them.

Lucas buried himself in the couch and looked at Grayson, who was bringing Ann into the living room. He then waved at Grayson sluggishly. "Hi there, Grayson. Good morning!"

"Why are you here?" Grayson asked.

His private place was a three-thousand square foot duplex apartment, and the door had a password lock. Both Sebastian and Lucas knew the password.

Although they knew the password, Lucas felt that Grayson was no fun, so he seldom came here to stay. When he wanted to visit him at times, he would go to the office instead.

Why was he suddenly here today? He even entered his house without telling him beforehand!

"Of course I'm here for you!" Lucas stood up and walked to Grayson with a smile. "Sebastian guessed that you would be bringing Ann over to stay at your place, so he deliberately asked me to bring two people here to take care of you. Look…"

He snapped his fingers and pointed at the man and woman who were standing beside the couch. "They are the bodyguard and assistant that Sebastian specially chose for you. They are siblings too. The brother's name is Birch Hart, and his little sister is Winter Hart. Birch is the bodyguard, and Winter is your assistant. They will take care of you 24/7 without leaving your side. Grayson…"

He lifted his arm and put it around Grayson's shoulders. "Are you surprised by Sebastian's sudden, yet thoughtful and luxurious gift package?"

Hearing that, Grayson had no words. Could he say that he was only shocked, but not surprised?

After waiting for some time, Lucas realized that Grayson didn't have any reaction, so he raised his brows and asked, "Why? Don't you like it?"

Just as Grayson was going to say something, Lucas cut him off. "It'll be of no use even if you don't like it. It's a gift from Sebastian. Do you dare send it back? By the way, let me make it clear first—I'm only a delivery man, and I'm not in charge of refunds. If you want to make a refund, you can go to Sebastian yourself."

At this moment, Grayson was speechless once again. Is Sebastian helping me to be cautious of Ann? He's really… He had no words to say anymore.

With a nod, he said, "I'll thank Sebastian myself."

"Are you not thanking me?" Lucas was not happy. "I have so many things to do every day. Do you know how busy I am? If you weren't my biological brother, I wouldn't have bothered about such a tiny matter! Are you really not thanking me?"

When Grayson heard that, he was speechless for a second. "I don't have a younger biological brother. Thank you, though!"
