Chapter 963 - 962: Tonight We’ll Share a Room
The sound of Daisy Grant’s sobbing still echoed in his ears. Facing Daisy Grant, Dawn Sutherland was filled with both heartache and sympathy, his tone extremely low. "I won’t take back the diamond ring I sent out. I won’t sign the divorce agreement, and I certainly won’t replace the book we got from the civil affairs bureau."Daisy Grant’s fingers were cold, wrapped in the warmth of Dawn Sutherland’s palm, gradually bringing warmth to Daisy Grant, who stood cold in the wind and snow.
Looking at Dawn Sutherland’s serious and steadfast gaze, Daisy Grant bit her lip, her voice hoarse. "Second brother... can you stop being so good to me?"
The fortress she had painstakingly built to keep him out, to face the storms alone, crumbled once more with his tenderness, protection, and words.
Dawn Sutherland looked deeply into Daisy Grant’s eyes, "For this lifetime, I will protect you. Daisy Grant, you’ve never been without anything. I’m taking you home."
Dawn Sutherland took Daisy Grant’s hand, leading her through the wind and snow, out of the cemetery.
The words "take you home" touched the deepest part of Daisy Grant’s heart.
Second brother really saw her as family.
One hand held by Dawn Sutherland, the other holding an umbrella, Daisy Grant deepened her gaze on Dawn Sutherland’s earnest and striking side profile. Walking in step with him, she turned to look at the photo on her father’s tombstone in the cemetery, her eyes deep red.
Dad, let me trust second brother this time.
For the path I chose, will you let me walk it to the end on my knees?
Now, I only have second brother. If, in the future, second brother doesn’t want me, I must accept the consequences of my choices...

Dawn Sutherland took Daisy Grant back to the Grant Family and went to visit Sophie Brown.
While Dawn Sutherland went upstairs to accompany Sophie Brown, Daisy Grant was downstairs in the living room discussing company matters with Diego Campbell.
"Diego, I want you to hire a private detective to follow Aidan Sutherland and photograph every woman he gets close to," Daisy Grant’s gaze was sharp and cold.
Diego Campbell nodded, "Okay, Miss Grant."
"For now, let’s keep the news of my dad’s passing a secret to avoid unnecessary worry or fear within the Grant Clan. As for the old customers snatched away by the Sutherland Clan, I’ll get them back!" Daisy Grant pondered for a moment, "I’ll return to work at the Grant Clan in a few days. You stabilize the situation first. The relationship between our Grant Clan and the Sutherland Clan has completely soured, so there’s no need to maintain a façade of friendliness. Grab any customer resources, intercept if possible! Understand?"
"Understood, Miss Grant. I’ll head back to the company now."
Daisy Grant nodded, "It’s going to be a busy time for you, Diego."
Diego Campbell shook his head, "Miss Grant, you don’t need to be so polite. President Grant personally promoted me and brought me up; President Grant was like a mentor to me. Although my mentor is gone, the bond remains. I may not be much help with matters concerning the Grant Family, but I will assist Miss Grant with the company’s affairs."
"Thank you."
Daisy Grant smiled faintly, seeing Diego Campbell off at the door.
Turning around, she was slightly startled to see Dawn Sutherland standing there, unsure when he’d come downstairs. "Second brother, is mom feeling better?"
Dawn Sutherland responded, "Her emotions have stabilized quite a bit. Let’s stay here for a few days to keep Aunt Grant company. This period is her darkest time and she needs companionship."
Daisy Grant nodded, but her expression became slightly unnatural as if remembering something. After a moment’s contemplation, she spoke softly, "Second brother, mom doesn’t know we have a fake marriage..."
Meaning if they stayed at the Grant residence and slept in separate rooms, her mom would definitely overthink.
Yet, she and Second brother weren’t real spouses, so what should they do?
Daisy Grant was still brooding when Dawn Sutherland’s voice sounded.
Dawn Sutherland pressed his lips together, "Then tonight we’ll sleep in the same room."
