Grace ignored him and just took a deep breath before walking to the iron gate. She looked inside through the bars as she stood there.
She once stayed here for a week. It was then that she learned the story of Jay’s great-grandfather and great-grandmother. The tragic love affair ended with the end of one person’s life and the other spending the rest of her life in this old mansion.
She had gotten emotional after listening to the story, only thinking that the relationship was too tragic and the two missed out on too many chances!
Grace stood there with a determined look on her face.
As long as Jay was inside, she would stay here. If he would not let her in, she would stay here until he came out! She wanted to see him no matter what.
The scene of her standing at the door was captured in the surveillance video inside the mansion. When Terrence learned that Grace was standing at the entrance, he immediately reported it to his boss.
Terrence knew Young master Reed was mad at Grace. Young master Reed had been working in the mansion. He did not even go to the office, but it did not stop the company’s employees from feeling like they were walking on thin ice.
Three senior executives had been laid off in just a few days. God knew how many more were to come if Young master Reed remained mad for a few more days.
Many people had asked him about the reason for Young master Reed’s sudden layoffs. How was he supposed to answer that? Even if he was audacious, he dared not say it was because the couple quarreled.
Fortunately, Grace finally found him. She was the only one who could make Young master Reed so mad and the only one who could cool him down!
Terrence hurried to the pond. Jason was standing by the pond, looking quietly at the specially cultivated lotus flowers.
It was not the season for lotus flowers to bloom, but the lotus flowers in the pond were blooming beautifully.
“Young master Reed, Young Madam is at the entrance and refuses to leave. It seems she intends to wait at the gate,” reported Terrence as he carefully observed his boss’ expression.
There were no changes on Jason’s beautiful face. It was as if he had just heard an extremely common thing.
“Let her wait if she wants to wait,” Jason said indifferently.
“Yes,” replied Terrence. It seemed that Young master Reed was furious this time!
“You can leave. I want to be alone,” said Jason.
Terrence bowed and left while Jason continued to stay by the pond. He was motionless like a sculpture while looking at the lotus flowers in the pond.
Grace had no idea how long she had been standing here. Her legs were very sore, and the sky had started to brighten a little.
‘Is… Is it dawn already?’ she thought to herself.
When her phone rang, she took it out and saw that it was Uncle Kwan calling.
Grace pressed the accept button, and Uncle Kwan asked, “Young Madam, are you at the old mansion? When Young Master Mo and Young Lady wake up…”
“I’m still at the old mansion. Tell them I left early for work when they wake up,” said Grace, who then looked at the mansion. in front of her. She took a deep breath and said, “Also, Uncle Kwan, make up some excuse for me if I don’t go home today!”
“Are you… not coming home today?” asked Uncle Kwan.
“It depends on whether I can see Jay,” replied Grace as she ended the call.
She wanted to see Jay no matter what… No matter how long she had to stand here.
Grace had no idea how long she had been standing. She was so sleepy, exhausted, and… hungry that she was a little shaky.
As she staggered and swayed, she heard the security guard’s voice. “Young Madam, are you okay?”
Grace shook her head. “I’m fine. Umm… Do you have any food here?”
“Huh?” The security guard froze.
15 minutes later, Grace squatted at the gate and ate the breakfast the security guard brought-flower rolls, porridge, and some side dishes.
It was the breakfast served in the mansion today, and the security guard got another set for her. The security guard said it had taken him a lot of effort to get the food from the kitchen.
“Young Madam, go home. Young master Reed must already know that you’ve been standing here all night but he hasn’t asked us to let you in. Aren’t you just suffering by standing here? Why don’t you go back first? You’ll see Young master Reed when he wants to see you,” the security guard advised kindly.
While eating her breakfast, Grace shook her head and said, “No thanks. I’ll continue standing here.”
She had a feeling that if she gave up and went home, perhaps it would be harder for her to see him then!
Therefore, what she needed to do now was to preserve her strength and not let herself collapse. If she still could not see him today, maybe she would ask Uncle Kwan to have someone send her a tent. She would just set up a tent outside the mansion.
The security guard had a headache when he heard that.
Rumor had it that Young master Reed doted on Young Madam the most. Although she went missing for five and suddenly returned with a daughter, Young master Reed years still treasured Young Madam. There was even a video of Young master Reed shielding Young Madam from vegetable leaves and rotten eggs with his body.
However, for some reason, Young master Reed was turning Young Madam away.
‘Does this mean… Young Madam is falling out of favor? But last night, the phone call from Terrence did not sound like she’s about to lose favor!
The security guard had another headache at the thought of Terrence’s phone call last night.
“Remember, make sure nothing happens to Young Madam. Pull yourself together and treat her well. Give her whatever she wants, but… don’t give Young Madam the impression she’s getting any special treatment.”
‘But that’s so hard to do!’ the security guard complained to himself, only hoping Grace would go home soon so that it would be easier for him.
As she ate, Grace simply chatted with the security guard, casually asking about the weather these days, then some information about the old mansion. Finally, she asked who had come in and out of the manor these days.
The security guard answered her questions respectfully.
Just as Grace asked if Jason had left the old mansion these days, the mansion gates suddenly opened and Jason appeared.
Grace just stared blankly at Jason, not even swallowing her flower roll.
She had been at the gate all night. She had even prepared herself for a long fight, planning to stay here for an eternity to do whatever it took to see him, but now… he had shown up in front of her.
‘That’s quick!’
