“How did you get this…” she murmured.
He smiled a little, and it was as beautiful as springtime in the mountains. However, the more beautiful the smile, the more daunting it was.
“Why shouldn’t I have this?” he asked with amusement as if she had asked a silly question.
Grace was stunned. ‘That’s right. Since he can sit in my house and wait for me to return, getting hold of a video like this is naturally a breeze.’
she did not even notice that someone was secretly filming her and Chase Harper today.
‘Is this the only part of the video? Or had he been keeping watch of my entire trip to the amusement park with Chase Harper and Nelson today?’
Her scalp tingled at the thought.
“You know what? What you’re doing now is a violation of human rights!” Grace criticized him.
After all, no one wanted to live under surveillance, and she had already broken up with him. She had no idea why he would do that.
Jason smirked as he stood up and approached Grace. “Is that so? What about you? Why did you go to the amusement park with Chase Harper?”
“Whoever I go to the amusement park with is up to me,” she said.
“It’s up to you?” he sneered. Suddenly, he raised his hand and grabbed her jaw.
“Let go.” She tried to pull his fingers away, but they did not even budge.
He slowly bent down, pressing his cheek lightly against hers. He rubbed her slightly cold cheek, then said nonchalantly, “Do you think it’s up to you
For a moment, Grace felt a chill running down her spine.
‘What does he mean by that?’
The way he rubbed against her cheek was still very gentle. It was just like how he used to hold her in his arms and rub against her cheek like he had endless love and longing for her.
Back then, she found it sweet. She even thought that he was behaving like a loyal puppy.
However, his actions and his words now only made her feel colder.
“Your face feels a little cold. Are you afraid?” he muttered.
“Jason, what do you want?” she asked, taking a deep breath.
His cheek finally left her face. His bright eyes stared at her, and without answering, he asked, “Do you like Chase Harper?”
She was surprised. The question was baffling. “Whether I like him or not is none of your business.”
“What if I need to know the answer?” His eyes seemed to entrap and imprison her, making her unable to break free.
“We broke up. It’s none of your business who I like, isn’t it? You have no right to ask even if I do like Chase Harper!” Grace said angrily.
However, her words seemed to trigger him.
“I’m the one you like!” When he finished speaking, his lips pressed hard against hers.
“Mhm-” Grace made a conscious attempt to turn her head away, but his fingers grabbed her chin so tightly that she could not avoid the kiss at all.
The domineering yet lingering kiss reminded Grace of the kiss she had when she was asleep that night.
‘It feels so similar.
‘Was it really him… back then? Did he kiss me while I was asleep?’
He kissed her until she could hardly breathe.
When the kiss was over, she gasped for air almost instinctively, but he pressed his head against her forehead and murmured in a hoarse voice, “Don’t fall in love with Chase Harper, alright?”
Grace was stunned. “Jason, don’t you think you’re being ridiculous?”
He broke up with her, but now he was asking her not to like other men?
Jason’s face immediately darkened.
‘Does she know how I felt when I sat here watching these videos of her and Chase Harper in the amusement park together?’
It was as if jealousy was going to swallow him up.
When he watched her stare at the man while smiling at him and even volunteering to help the man do his tie, he had felt an invisible knife cutting him.
The pain was so bad that every breath seemed to be in pain.
“Must you like him?” There was a note of coolness in his voice.
Grace immediately trembled. Somehow, she had a feeling that if she said yes, then Jason would really restrain her.
With his power and status in Emerald City, it was simply too easy for him to deal with her!
Besides… Chase Harper…
She did not want to involve the honest and simple man.
“No, I don’t like him,” she muttered the answer dryly.
He looked into her eyes as if he was examining whether her words were true.
After a moment, a smile appeared on his lips. “You don’t like him? That’s great.”
“Can you let me go now, Mr. Reed?” she asked.
‘Let go… His brows furrowed. He did not want to let go of the woman in his arms.
“Call me ‘Jay’,” he said suddenly. Whether she called him Mr. Reed or Jason, it sounded so harsh to him.
She pursed her lips and glared at him.
“Haven’t you always called me Jason?”
he asked.
“That was before. Now that we’ve broken up, I shouldn’t call you that anymore,”
she said.
“Didn’t you call me Jay before we started dating? Sis?” His breath lightly sprayed on her face.
When the word ‘Sis’ escaped his mouth, her breathing stopped.
Sis, Sis!
The word once made her feel less lonely, giving her the illusion that she finally had a family.
“You’re not my brother, are you? I don’t think you need to call me ‘Sis’, Mr. Reed,”
she said with a bitter smile.
“You made me call you ‘Sis’. What’s the matter? You don’t want to be held accountable?” His fingers gently stroked her cheek as he pushed the tangled strands of hair on her cheek behind her ear. “You can’t just stop being my sis whenever you like.”
‘What does he mean by that?’
Grace stared blankly at Jason, only seeing his almost perfect thin lips open and close as he said, “Haven’t you always wanted to have a family? Well, why don’t you keep on being my sis?”
Grace froze, then she felt a sudden urge to laugh. “Do you want me to continue being your sis while you be my brother?”
“Isn’t it a good idea?” he asked.
“Jason, do you know you’re being ridiculous?” She really laughed out loud.
“You said you wanted us to date, so we dated. Then, you wanted to break up and we did. Now what? Are you going to play the sibling game again because you’ve grown tired of the dating game?”
His face immediately darkened. “It’s not a game. You can be my sis. No one in Emerald City will dare to disrespect you.”
“I don’t need that, and you’re not my brother.” She snapped.
‘How could I ever see this man who I’ve loved so deeply as my brother?’
“Are you that against being my sis?” His beautiful amorous eyes narrowed, revealing a glint of danger.
“Jason, I’m not you. I can’t just change
Please like you can! We’ve broken up. don’t disturb my life again! You said it’s too tiring to be with me, so I won’t appear in front of you anymore. Please stop appearing in front of me as well!” Grace said coldly.
Her indifference stung his eyes. It was as if she would reject him from getting any closer to her no matter what he did!
Why was he in such torment when she could so easily put him out of her mind?
When he thought of how happy she was at the amusement park with another man today, the feeling of jealousy surged back.
He lowered his head and kissed her hard on the lips again.
‘No! I don’t want it!’
