Chapter 394
Brian looked at the time on his phone. It was already five in the afternoon. People who worked in city hall had already gotten off work. He frowned and immediately called Louise back. He called, but no one picked up.
Brian thought for a moment. He turned around and said to Grace, "I'll go back first." Then, he quickly left the hospital.
Although anxious, he did not think that this was a very troublesome thing. After all, there was plenty of time to register their marriage. When Brian drove to the Adkins family's house, he heard from the Adkins family's maid that Louise had already gone to the Francis estate. He drove back to the Francis estate.
When he entered the living room, he saw Louise sitting beside Jasmine with red eyes. Her face was haggard, and her lips were pale.
Brian felt a fittle guilty.
"Louise," Brian called. "I'm sorry."
Jasmine's sharp gaze swept over. "You still have the cheek to come back! Tell me, what have you been doing? Don't say I'm your mother if you dare to lie!"
Brian took a deep breath. He knew that even if he lied, Jasmine would still be able to find out.
He said briefly "An employee's daughter is sick, so I went to visit her."
Jasmine narrowed her eyes at him. "What kind of employee made you, the boss, lower yourself to visit her daughter?*
Louise said softly, "Jasmine, forget it. Perhaps Brian likes children too much. It's all my fault for being unable to be pregnant till now."
Jasmine's heart ached even more for Louise. She patted her hand and comforted her. "Louise, it's not your fault. I'll help you."
"Who is it?" Jasmine asked.
Brian was silent for a while before saying, "Grace."
Jasmine's heart trembled. "What did you say? Grace? Didn't she divorce you not long ago? She had a child?"
Louise interrupted, "Jasmine, the child isn't Brian's. We've already done a paternity test."
Jasmine's expression paused for a moment before she laughed sarcastically. "When she married into our family, she pretended to be innocent. I didn't expect that she would cheat on my son. What a promiscuous woman." Brian frowned. In terms of time, Grace had indeed cheated on him during their marriage. Thinking of this, Brian felt -disgusted and even hated her.
However, when he heard others say that about her, he felt like a thorn was stuck in his heart.
At this time, he didn't want to have a conflict with his mother, so he cleverly changed the topic. "It's my fault today. We can register our marriage anytime. It doesn't have to be a lucky day."

Jasmine was a superstitious person. "That won't do! I'll choose another good day later, but don't think today's matter is over just like that!"
Brian felt a headache coming on.
"What is Grace's purpose in staying in your company? Why did you fire her?" Jasmine asked.
Brian frowned deeply. "Mom, there's nothing wrong with her work ability. I hope you won't force your grudges against her to work."
"You have to resolve this matter! With Grace around, Louise will never have a good life!" said Jasmine.
Brian looked at Louise. After a long silence, he said slowly, "Louise, I know you feel wronged, but you also know why you're in the company. I can't go back on my word. I said I would marry you, and I will do it. If you can't tolerate her in the company..."
