Filed To Story: The Scarlet Vengeance: Justice of a Framed Beauty Novel (Grace & Jason)

If there was something cold about him before, now there was something gorgeous and amorous in his eyes.

Even his licking of the bruise seemed seductive.

“How about now? Does it still hurt?” he asked in a low whisper. He looked so seductive and was so gentle with his movements.

“It… It doesn’t hurt that much anymore,”

even Grace’s had begun to stutter a little.

‘How could I feel the pain? He seems to have captured all my senses!’

He planted scattered kisses on the red mark on her wrist, making her timidly try to withdraw her hand. After all, there were other people in the car.

However, he stubbornly held her hand and would not let her take it back.

“Don’t move!” he said.

“But…” She looked embarra**ed.

“Don’t move. You mustn’t move. Just stay like this. Otherwise, I don’t know what I’ll do.” He suddenly implored her, and the hand that held her wrist was trembling slightly.

Grace was stunned, feeling as though he was a little different than usual since he found her on the hill.

However, there were outsiders here, and there were some things she could not ask directly.

The driver and Terrence who were at the front were almost stunned by what Jason had just said.

‘Is that… really Young Master Reed? When has that superior man ever begged a woman with such a pleading tone?’

Grace hesitated and did not move again.

Jason gently closed his eyes and continued to kiss her wrist.

He wanted to remove all traces of Brian on her body and imprint her with his own.

‘What would he do if I take my hand away? Maybe… he’ll just break my hand?’

‘Why was she with Brian today? Why did she let Brian carry her on his back? How much does Brian weigh in her heart?’ These questions kept flashing through his mind.

This was probably how it felt to have all your joys and sorrows manipulated by one person!

‘I’ve tasted what Father had once tasted!

‘However, unlike Father, Grace won’t betray me. She surely won’t! She told me she loved me!’

He kissed her hand repeatedly, rubbing it lightly with his cheek. He repressed and restrained himself like a cautious child.

When the car pulled up to the entrance of Reed Residence, Terrence respectfully said, “Young Master Reed, we’ve arrived!”

His long black eyelashes quivered a little and Jason opened his eyes slowly. His bright amorous eyes turned to the person beside him, and he carried her out of the car.

“Ah!” screamed Grace. Her right wrist was now almost numb from his kisses and rubs, and all her blood seemed to be rushing up to her wrist.

Now, being carried out of the car by him like this made her lose her head!

“Jay!” she called out to him, hinting at him to put her down, but he carried her straight back into the bedroom.

He put her on the bed, squeezed his ten fingers between hers, and put her hands on top of her head. “Tell me. Why were you with Brian today? Why did he carry you on his back? What did you say to him?”

A stream of questions came out of his mouth with an eagerness he never had before!

Grace looked in surprise at Jason who was on top of her. It was as if all the quiet repression on their trip back had exploded.

“Jason, let me go first. I can explain,” said

Grace.

However, instead of letting go of her hand, he lowered his head and showered kisses on her face. “Sure.

Explain. I’ll listen.”

He did not want to let her go no matter what.

Grace only felt as if her body temperature was rising, and her thoughts seemed to be affected by his kisses.

“I… I just went to Grandma’s grave to pay my respects today. Then when I was walking down the hill, I took a path and went to the nearby hill. I used to play there when I was a child, so I thought I would have a look. I didn’t think I would bump into Brian.”

Grace told the story as quickly as she could. She did not want him to get the wrong idea.

However, she hid the fact that she had restored her memory.

‘Since I want to keep it as a secret, then

I’ll bury it in the bottom of my heart forever!’

“You said you fell off a cliff?” Jason’s pupils constricted immediately.

“Yes. Fortunately… Brian was there and he gave me a hand. However, I pa**ed out and woke up to see him carrying me down the hill.” She went on explaining, “I was going to walk down by myself, but I had some bruises on me. If I walked on my own, I wouldn’t be able to reach the foot of the hill before dark, so…”

With that, he immediately lifted her dress, and at once, the bruises on her legs caught his eye.

Especially her ankles. He did not notice them earlier because of her long skirt and shoes, but her ankles were now red, swollen, and grazed.

“Why didn’t you say anything earlier?” Looking at her scars, he felt as if his heart was twisting with pain.

With his character, he would not have felt anything if someone in front of him was bleeding all over and had no skin left intact..

However, looking at her injuries, he found it so hard to bear!

“I forgot,” muttered Grace. He had been carrying her down the hill and was acting differently as well. She was so focused on him that she forgot all about her bruises.

He pursed his thin lips. The next moment, he suddenly picked her up and walked into the bathroom.

The warm water gently washed her wretched body. He squatted down and gently washed her wounds.

“Does it hurt?” he finally asked, staring at the bruises on her ankle.

“This injury is nothing to me,” she said, not wanting him to mind the bruises too much.

However, her words seemed to make his eyes cloud with a layer of gloom. Of course, he knew that the bruises were much smaller than the ones she had suffered.

The large and small scars on her body seemed to recount silently what she had suffered in prison.

The more he loved her, the more he could not bear to see her hurt.

Even now, he dared not imagine what it was like when she was tortured and injured.

Jason lowered his head, bent forward, and pressed his lips on the bruises on her ankle.

She bit her lower lip slightly. “Jason, it doesn’t hurt.”

“But I do,” he said.

Her heart seemed to be instantly enveloped in something. Her nose suddenly felt sore, and even her eyes became misty.

It turned out there was somebody in this world who would feel hurt because of her injuries.

He would feel her pain.

Falling in love with him might have been the best choice she ever made.

He wrapped the towel around her body, carried her out of the bathtub, and helped her change into clean leisurewear. Then, he carried her out of the bathroom and treated her bruises.

“Just yell if it hurts,” he said.

“Sure,” she replied.

He treated her bruises gently as if he was dealing with a treasure of great importance-one that was even more important than his own life.

When he finally finished treating the ring of bruises around her wrist, he did not let go. Instead, he kept staring at the unfaded bruise around her wrist.

“Tell me. What did Brian say when he put you down and grabbed your hand?” His voice whispered out of his mouth, and his deep eyes slowly looked up into her almond-shaped eyes.

Grace stiffened, feeling as though his eyes were trying to see right through her.

‘Jason has always been insecure in this relationship. Even though I’ve explained it to him, does he still have doubts and mind it?’

“Brian said luckily, I’m not,” taking a deep breath, she answered him truthfully.

“Luckily you’re not?” His eyes narrowed slightly as if pondering the meaning of this remark.
