Jason buried his face in Grace’s neck. He took in her scent, rea**uring himself that she was indeed in his arms. It seemed like the only way to make him feel safe.

“Then you mustn’t die before me!” he uttered the words almost with difficulty.

When the car arrived at Reed Residence, Jason almost hurriedly dragged Grace back into the bedroom. He pressed her onto the bed.

“Jay, wait. I… I still have my makeup on. I’m still wearing a gown and jewelry-”

She had not finished when he interrupted, “I’ll do it…” he said as he lifted his hand, taking off her gown and throwing it onto the floor. He took off the ruby necklace and laid it on the bedside table.

He wanted her so badly right now. An indescribable fear and uneasiness made him long for her.

His kisses rained down on her. She could feel his urgency.

“Jay, what happened? Is your headache… Are you really okay? Do you need a doctor?” she asked.

“No, I just want you now… Grace, I want you and I want you to want me…” he said hoarsely.

Grace’s face turned a little red, but she still replied, “Okay, I want you…”

This time, she raised her hands and removed the clothes on his body…

The intimacy was memorable.

“Jay, is what Brian just said true? You… knew who the perpetrator was but didn’t do anything for the benefit of the company?

“Why you? Why does it have to be you?

“What do I do? Even if… I can forgive you, my body just can’t seem to… accept you.”

She leaned over the sink, throwing up so hard that her face was pale.

He stood outside the bathroom, only finding his breathing becoming stifled as though he was in an ice cave. His heart continued to sink…

My Gorgeous Wife is an Ex-Convict!

The way she looked at him and every word she said caused him severe pain!

“Ah!” He suddenly opened his eyes, and what he saw was darkness.

His head was still in constant pain. The more painful it was, the more fragments of memories swarmed into his head.

Jason clenched his teeth tightly to suppress his desire to scream due to the pain. He did not want to disturb the woman sleeping next to him.

Grace was still sound asleep. Perhaps she was tired today, she was deep in slumber.

Jason almost staggered out of bed. With all his strength, he went to the next room linked to theirs. He opened the door and closed it with difficulty before falling to the ground, gasping.

‘Ouch… My head hurts so much it feels like it’s going to burst…! The pain spread to his body.

The doctor had said that the process for him to recover his memories might be more painful than ordinary people. He would get a headache every time he remembered something from the past.

However, he had never been in such pain.

It hurt so much that… he seemed to be losing even his rationale.

His hands clutched his head, his fingers almost sinking into his skull. Groan after groan escaped his mouth.

Al… I can’t…

‘I can’t be too loud. I’ll… I’ll wake Grace up!’

He shut his mouth and bit his lip, letting the blood trickle down the corners of his lips.

‘Grace… Grace… He repeated her name over and over again in his heart. Those fragments of memories flashed through his mind as though they were going to tear his soul apart.

On the bed in the other bedroom, Grace was still sound asleep, unaware of the movements next door.

One side was heaven, while the other was hell.

The sun fell on Grace’s face through the window. When she slowly opened her eyes, what she saw was the familiar figure.

Jason, dressed in a black shirt and long pants, was staring at her with a complicated look. There seemed to be joy, an earnestness of having found a lost treasure, and fear.

However, when she tried to look more closely, his eyes returned to the way they usually looked.

“What time is it?” she asked.

“It’s past ten o’clock,” he said.

She was shocked. “Ten o’clock? Why didn’t you wake me up sooner? Mick and Jasper’s breakfast… And…”

Jason said, “They’ve already had breakfast. I had someone send them to kindergarten. I didn’t let them wake you because you were sound asleep.”

She suddenly seemed to recall something. “Why aren’t you at work?” It was not a rest day today. He should have gone to work by now.

“I want to rest at home today,” said Jason.

Grace just realized that his face looked a little haggard, and his voice was a little hoarse.

“What’s the matter? Is there something wrong? Is your headache from yesterday any better?” she asked as she sat up and reached toward his head.

My Gorgeous Wife is an Ex-Convict!

He grabbed her wrist. “I’m alright. My head doesn’t hurt anymore.”

“That’s good.” She smiled and tried to withdraw her hand, but his hand was still firmly on her wrist.

“Jay?” She looked at him quizzically.

He pressed his lips together and said almost as if with great courage, “Are you sure… you didn’t leave because you didn’t love me anymore?”

“Why do you ask me that all of a sudden? I told you, I must have left… for other reasons. It can’t be that it was because I stopped loving you. I know you’re the one I love! That’s not going to change,” said Grace.

She wanted to tell him everything if not for the fact that telling him the truth about falling into the sea would be too much for him to bear.

“Nothing, I just want to… make it clear. After all, I don’t have many memories of the past,” he said.

Grace smiled. “Then I’ll slowly tell you all about our past.

Maybe you’ll recover your memories by listening to me recount them.”

He stared at her. “Do you want me to recover my memories?”

Grace said, “Of course, I hope you can recover your memories, but it’s best to let nature take its course. There’s no hurry. Maybe you’ll recover your memories little by little when I tell you about the past bit by bit.”

Jason’s eyes glimmered, but… his memories had…

He let go of her wrist. Grace got out of bed, but her legs were weak and she fell forward.
