Grace was stunned! She gawked at the person in front of her. She even forgot how to react.
“Why? Won’t you?” His brows furrowed slightly, and his heart almost stopped.
“Are you… Proposing?” she finally uttered after a long while.
“Yes.” He gave her this answer with great certainty.
She blinked. ‘Proposing… Had they come to the point of talking about marriage? It seemed they had come to know each other only less than a year ago.
However… She loved him, and he loved her. They seemed to have no reason not to get married!
“Do you think this proposal isn’t formal enough? Or do you think.
I’m joking?” His voice once again rang in the room.
The next moment, he lowered and kneeled in front of her.
Grace was taken aback. She lowered her head and
Jason who was kneeling in front of her.
A man that was so superior willingly fell to his knees… Just like that!
“Grace.” He lifted his chin and looked at her with his deep, bright eyes. “I’m serious. I’ve never been this serious. I can give you everything I have, including my life, so marry me.”
His expression was so serious that every word he said created ripples in her heart.
She bit her lip and took a deep breath. As if with great courage, she said, “What… What if I can’t bear you a child?”
She had been drinking the traditional medicine concocted by the hospital every day and was also receiving treatments from the hospital. Her uterus was gradually recovering.
However, it had suffered a great injury after all. Even if she did have surgery in the future, it would only increase her chances of conceiving. It did not mean she would get pregnant.
It was likely that she would never have children of her own
Children… In particular, families like his paid more attention to their lineage.
“So what? When we first started dating, I already told you it’s all right even if I’ll never have children of my own. I love you, not the children.” She was the only thing in the world that mattered to him.
“However…” She was still in two minds about it.
‘Does this really not matter? How many men in this world can accept having no children for the rest of their life?’
“Grace! Children are only the future heirs to the Reed family to me. I’m not a man of love. If you and I have children in the future, then I might love them. If we don’t, then we can adopt one at the orphanage or from one of the Reed family’s collateral relatives. It doesn’t seem like a problem to me. All I care about is whether you’ll marry me,” he said.
At the end of his sentence, his eyes stared at her with a burning intensity. She felt as if she had been caught in a net by him. She could not get away nor escape from him, and more than that…. She would not!
Yes, she loved him too much to break loose or run away.
“Yes, I will.” The two words spat out of her mouth just like that.
A smile came over his face. Then, he took her hand and kissed her fingertips. “I’ll never let you go for the rest of my life…”
She only felt waves of warmth pouring into her heart from her fingertips.
It was a wonderful thing to be loved by him.
“Then… Never let go of me, Jay.” As she said so, she bent down, took his face in her hands, and kissed him once more on the lips.
It was the kiss of their vows.
They were going to grow old together!
“What? You and Jason are getting married?” Lina Sweeney did not expect to hear such sensational news on a date with her best friend.
“Yes.” Grace had a sweet smile on her lips as she said to her, “You know I don’t have many friends, so I’d like to ask you to be my maid of honor. I wonder if you’d like to.”
“I’d love to be your maid of honor, but…” Lina Sweeney looked at Grace, hesitating to speak.
After all, Lina Sweeney thought Jason was a scary man when she learned that he was probably the culprit behind Evelyn’s scandal.
Her best friend had nothing on Jason in terms of scheming, artifice, and ruthlessness.
Was it a good idea for Grace to marry Jason? Once some bumps in their marriage annoyed Jason, how would Grace protect herself then?
Could she only depend on Jason’s love for her? How deep was
Jason’s love?
That fellow Hadwin Stephenson said Jason was the inferior one and the one being dominated in their relationship.
However, Lina Sweeney could not help but worry.
“What’s the matter? Just say what you have to say,” said Grace.
Lina Sweeney hesitated a little. “Do you love Jason enough to marry him, Grace?”
“I didn’t expect to get married so soon either,” Grace said with a chuckle, “However, it seems quite natural. I love him, and he loves. me. Since he’s willing to accept all of me, for better or worse, then I think marrying him is the best choice for me.”
“Do you know him well?” asked Lina Sweeney.
“Sort of. There’s nothing I don’t know about his family, career, life, and personality. Besides, I’ve been living at Reed Residence for al while,” said Grace.
“How about his dark side?” Lina Sweeney blurted out.
Grace looked at her friend in surprise while Lina Sweeney looked slightly embarra**ed. “I mean, after all, he’s Jason. Don’t they always say that he’s ruthless and those who’ve offended him.
won’t come to a good end?”
Grace lowered her eyes slightly. She knew what her best friend meant now. Just like when she was in prison. A lot of people had picked on her because of Jason.
However… “Lina, if you don’t take that step, you’ll never know what the future holds for you. I want to take that step because I think no one in the world will love me more than him,” said Grace as she looked up at Lina Sweeney.
Looking at her best friend’s firm gaze, Lina Sweeney’s heart.
quivered. The two had been best friends for years. She knew
Grace’s longing for family.
That was the way people were. The more they lacked something, the more they desired it.
“You’re right. Sometimes, you’ll just have to take that step.
However, no matter what happens in the future, you should always remember that I’m here for you and we’re best friends forever,” said Lina Sweeney.
“Yes,” replied Grace. However, this simple answer involved too much emotion.
She would not be here today if it were not for Lina!
In her heart, Lina was already her family! She was someone she would spend her life repaying!

However, it had been too long. It would require more effort to check it out.

they were merely substitutes for the person he sought. They were just there to consign his longing.
However, substitutes were only substitutes. No matter how many substitutes he found, they could not fill the void in his heart.
However… Only when he held her…
Brian looked at his hands in a daze. Only when he held Grace did he feel as if the void was filled with something. It made him. reluctant to let go.
He had never felt this way before!
Therefore, it was her. It must be her!
