I Can Read Minds

1

My fiancé, Vance Cooper, was so close to another woman, Penelope Stephens, in front of everyone at our engagement party. I rushed over in anger, only to tumble down the stairs. After that, I accidentally found that I could read others' minds.

I heard that Andres Murray, my childhood friend, was always unwilling to talk to me, saying in his mind, "She's so adorable, and I really want to kiss her."

My fiancé was openly flirting with another woman at our engagement party.

I rushed over in anger, only to tumble down the stairs and break a bone.

When I woke up in the hospital, I found Andres Murray, my childhood friend, by my bedside. He was peeling an apple down to its core.

I asked, "Andres, what are you doing here?"

Although Andres and I grew up together, he was usually indifferent to me. I usually pulled a long face, as if I had wronged him in some unforgivable way.

"Eat it." He held out the apple and almost shoved the core into my mouth.

"I wish I could be in your heart, but I can't. I have to be here. This is the closest I can get." Suddenly, a familiar voice echoed in my ear.

It was Andres's voice.

I glanced at Andres secretly. He forcefully pushed the apple core towards my lips and seemed to be eager to silence me with it.

I looked at Andres suspiciously.

He shrugged, took back the apple that had touched my lips, and was about to eat it himself.

I grabbed the apple from his hand and took a big bite. At the same time, I raised my eyebrows at him.

"She's so cute. I really want to kiss her when she raised her eyebrows."

What was going on?

I froze and couldn't react.

"Why is Grace staring at me? I'm a bit nervous...

"Wait, she has turned her gaze away. She was not looking at me just now? Ugh, why is that scumbag here again? Hasn't Grace suffered enough because of him?"

My gaze landed on that man and the woman at the door. My fiancé was half-embracing his Penelope Stephens with an affectionate expression.

"Tsk, as long as that scumbag is here, Grace won't see me. I am so jealous."

I slowly turned my head to look at Andres, mainly because his last sentence was so loud that it was distracting.

"So? Why is Grace suddenly looking at me? That's weird. When the male lead was in front of Grace, the hopeless romantic, she never gave me a glance in the past. Could she be irritated when he saw the male and female leads coming together?"

The male lead? The female lead?

Before I could understand Andres's words, Vance suddenly said, "Grace, the engagement party yesterday was held merely to appease the elders of my family and stabilize the company's stock price. I advise you not to have any delusions that I would fall for you."

If Vance had said so in the past, I would have felt hurt and devastated, and even become hysterical.

But now, I just felt disgusted.

Especially when I saw Vance's dramatic hair flip after he spoke, I almost threw up. Did he think his move was charming? He even winked at Penelope.

"Ew..." Sorry, I couldn't hold back and finally vomited.

Andres quickly grabbed the trash can by the bed and asked anxiously, "Grace? How are you feeling?" Is this a sequela? Grace, you fell down the stairs. Could you have hit her head? I'll call the doctor!"

I stopped Andres, who was about to run to ask the doctor over. Then I wiped my lips with my sleeve and leaned on his arm to sit up slightly. I said to Vance, "It's been half a year since we started dating, right?"

Vance and Penelope looked a little ashamed instantly. But they quickly turned normal. Vance puffed out his chest and said, "That's right, but I was always forced to date you and even get engaged to you."

I said, "You could have refused. You're the heir to the Cooper family, the CEO of the Cooper Group. Why did you have to drag things out with me since you didn't love me?"

I felt a bit of pain where the cast was, but some things needed to be clarified. Otherwise, it would be difficult to deal with later.

He said, "You must understand that you're just there to appease my family and stabilize the stock prices of the Cooper Group. Don't even think about taking Penelope's place, and don't think you can get away from me."

With that, Vance gently tousled Penelope's hair.

That was exactly what I needed Vance to say.

I didn't say anything else, and I just quietly closed my eyes and lay down. Andres punched Vance in the face and drove him away before calling the doctor to check on me.
