Chapter 1769: Did she have a choice? No.
[From: My Haines
There’s an emergency, so I’m flying out tonight. I’m sorry, but I will be home as soon as possible. Sleep well tonight, Gracie.]
Grace pouted as she read Haines’ message, sighing heavily with slight disappointment. She knew Haines had barely taken a break from work for his surgery. However, he still had to get involved if necessary.
"His surgery has been slightly delayed," she whispered. "Oh well. My man’s a hardworking man."
Grace shrugged, reassuring herself that it was fine. This would also give her extra time for work. So, she quickly composed a reply to him.
[To: My Haines
You’d better make sure you come home as soon as possible. Otherwise, I’ll be sad. I’ll be here when you come back. Miss you already.]
After sending the message, she took a shallow breath and set her phone down. Grace reached for the file on the coffee table in her living room. She had spent the whole day working on Cassandra’s case with Kiara and Cassandra. But something was still bothering her about the case.
She didn’t know what it was, but a nagging feeling persisted. She decided to pinpoint the source of this gut feeling tonight. After all, if Haines were here, she wouldn’t even bother and just toss it for the next day. Might as well take advantage of his absence to lessen her work once he comes back.
"Hmm..." she hummed, massaging her neck and stretching it from side to side. "Let’s see."
