Chapter 193
Graham kept on staring and staring until Kate got a little uncomfortable, "Graham? Mr. Hubbard?"
"Oh—Pardon me," Graham shook his head a little to wake him from a daze. His face got a little hotter for an unknown reason. He murmured, "Now I understand their fascination."
"Fascination?" Kate didn’t know what was in Graham’s mind right now. He stared at her for a while without saying anything until Kate snapped him out of his daze.
Graham fixed his glasses and said, "It’s nothing, Kate. Thank you for answering my question with truth. Your worry about Henry is valid, he is young and impulsive. But please trust him a bit more, he will show you how dedicated he can be."
"And how’d you know that?" Kate asked. "You’re his friend, right? It’s not impossible if you’re just covering up for him."
"He is not exactly my friend, just like what I told you before, I am James’ best friend," Graham claimed. "He and I were best friend since we were toddler, and Henry, he—"
Graham stopped when he realized he almost spouted the truth that shouldn’t be revealed. He knew that Henry would be furious if he told this secret to Kate, so he did a quick thought to shift his words and continued, "—he was just a willful little boy. James and I are fond of him, but his friend was not us, Michael is his childhood friend."
"So I don’t have much emotional connection to him, but I respect his late brother a lot, so I know I must help him," Graham said. He lowered his head and murmured, "This is also my way to cope, since James treasured Henry a lot, just like how he treasured you."
"Mr. James Grant treasured me?"
