Maybe, as Grace hadn’t had a family from a young age, she felt that this situation was particularly complicated. She had always lived a simple life without pressure, and she could always decide what she wanted to do. Although sometimes she was lonely, her life was simple and convenient.
As for the attitude of Mrs. Thomas, Grace thought there hadn’t been much oomph in it recently, and when she thought about her relationship with Mrs. Thomas in that big family in the future, a tremendous feeling of tiredness overwhelmed her.
She stared at the ceiling blankly, her eyes wandered in the air, and she thought of nothing, and she just laid in silence for the moment. After a little while, her phone rang. Sitting up slowly, she took her phone from the bag. She answered it after a couple of rings. It was probably Mason calling her.
Grace felt better right away. “Hello, Mason.”
“Where are you now? Why can’t I find you at home?” Mason asked, a little anxious.
Grace knew he cared about her. There was someone that cared about her in this world, and he was her beloved man. She smiled, “I went back to my apartment. Don’t worry.”
“Why didn’t you come here? You should know by now that I would get uneasy if I can’t see you after getting off work at night. We are about to get married. Live with me.”
Grace smiled a little and answered, “Because we are going to get married, we should be separate for a while.”
Mason kept silent for a long time, and then said, “I know what happened today. Did my mother make trouble for you?” His tone sounded serious.
Grace paused and held the phone tightly, answering, “It’s nothing. Things will be better later.” She wanted to comfort him and make him feel relieved.
Mason, however, suddenly said, “We will live in Houston after we get married. You shouldn’t go back. My mom is just like that. No one can change her. I don’t want you to be bullied in front of her.”
His words moved Grace a lot. Although she only wanted to live a simple life with Mason, she couldn’t be selfish. Mr. Thomas looked forward to seeing Mason settle down early and come back home to accompany them after getting married. Thus, Grace replied, “We’ll go back to Los Angeles.”
“Why? I think you won’t get along well with my mom.”
“Nothing is impossible. Things will be better, I believe. Moreover, Uncle is quite kind to me, and I want to honor him. So, we’ll just go back to Los Angeles, or else I will always feel like I owe them.”
“You don’t owe them, nor do I. We’ve lived independent lives from childhood. We don’t have to live with them,” Mason said.
“Mason, you can’t say that. Anyhow, they are your parents. Besides, I can see that Mr. Thomas really wanted to make it up to you.”
Talking about it, Mason seemed to be a little agitated. He said in an unnatural tone, “The past is gone now. I have grown up. They were just indifferent. I didn’t blame them as a child. I just didn’t care about it at all, and look, I’m happy enough now.”
“If you want me to be happy, just go back to Los Angeles. I want to accompany Uncle,” said Grace gently.
Mason was silent for a moment and then answered, “Okay, as you like. Wait, I’ll drive to find you.”
Grace paused again, “What do you want to do? What’s wrong?”
Mason made no response but said in pleasure, “Wait for a moment. I will be right there!” Leaving no time for Grace to ask him more, Mason hung up the call.
Grace didn’t know what he would do but had to wait for him, in doubt. Sitting on the sofa, Grace suddenly remembered that Mason had just gotten off work and may have had no dinner, so she thought she should prepare some food for him no matter whether he had eaten or not. If he had dinner, she could put the food into the refrigerator. Either way, she wanted to cook for him. Therefore, she walked out to buy some vegetables after taking her wallet and putting on some high heels.
Grace bought vegetables at the nearby supermarket. Although she did it quickly, Mason was waiting for her by the door when she came back. Mason saw her and asked, “Where did you go? Why didn’t you answer your phone?”
Grace paused and answered, “Ah, I forgot my phone at home. I just wanted to cook for you. Have you eaten yet?”
“No,” Mason replied with pleasure, cooling down right away. He moved close to Grace and said, “It’s very thoughtful of you to buy food to cook for me. Do you really care about me?”
Grace was opening the door and ignored his closeness.
“Come on,” she said, “I am always thinking. I also take care of my sister when she comes to visit.”
Mason followed Grace after she opened the door. Suddenly, he hugged her and pinned her to the door, and then he started to kiss her, closing the door along the way.
Grace was surprised. The shopping bags were still hanging over her wrist, with water on the vegetable leaves. She wanted to struggle. However, Mason hugged her tightly, kissed her like mad, and teased her with his tongue. Grace was unable to speak and was finally overwhelmed by his invasion.
