Chapter 545 – The Scarlet Vengeance: Justice of a Framed Beauty Novel (Grace & Jason)

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

Jason… He was the richest man in Emerald City. The high and mighty man in Emerald City was going to marry Grace?

After a long time, Mr. Sweeney cleared his throat and said, “Don’t do that again the next time we see Cummins… Grace. She’s been a great help to our family. Lina has a better eye than us. She… has made the right friend!”

Although Mr. Sweeney did not know exactly what was going on.

between Grace and Jason, he had a feeling that Grace’s sudden marriage to Jason might have something to do with his daughter’s life-threatening injuries.

Guilt flitted across Mrs. Sweeney’s face as she said, “Yes, I… I’ll apologize the next time she visits Lina. Lina is… probably going to be saved. She’ll get better, right…”

Mrs. Sweeney started sobbing as she spoke.

Mr. Sweeney patted his wife on the shoulder and said rea**uringly, “She’ll be alright. Our daughter is not that fragile! Besides, she has to wake up and wait for Hadwin Stephenson to marry her!”

Terrence drove Grace to Reed Residence, and when the car stopped at the gate, Grace felt as if a lifetime had pa**ed.

She never thought she would step in here again.

“Master Reed’s waiting for you inside,” Terrence said respectfully.

Grace took a deep breath and headed inside while Terrence stood outside. He could not help touching his nose as he watched her walk into the main house.

When he learned that Master Reed was marrying Grace, he was shocked but seemed to have expected it as well.

After all, Grace seemed to be the only woman Master Reed would possibly marry. He had never seen Master Reed care so much about another woman before.

He could not forget the way Master Reed had trembled as he held Grace and shouted while dialing 120 when she pa**ed out.

He was different from his usual calm and collected manner!

Getting married to the Reed family and becoming the mistress of the Reed family would also mean that Grace would become the most honorable woman in Emerald City!

Grace went into the main house and saw Jason sitting on the couch in the living room. He had a book on his lap. He was probably reading but looked up toward her when he heard her come in.

The soft light fell on him, making his handsome face look a little less cold and a little more gentle.

‘Gentle…’ She felt a trace of bitterness in her heart. ‘Will he still be gentle to me? He chose to marry me, but only for the sake of our child!’

“You’re back. Did you visit Lina in the hospital?” Jason put the book in his hand on the coffee table.

“Yes,” she said, glancing at the book on the coffee table and almost choking herself.

The title of the book was unexpectedly ‘Being In A Good Mood Throughout Your Pregnancy Journey’. It was probably a book about women going through pregnancy, right? Was Jason reading such a book?

Grace was a little surprised.

“I asked the maid to make you some porridge. Go eat first. You didn’t have much to eat since waking up in the hospital,” Jason said, ordering his maid to serve the porridge.

Grace did not reject. Even though she had no appetite, she was no longer alone. She had a baby in her belly. Even the doctor said

that she was slightly malnourished, which was not good for the growth of the baby in her belly.

Now, she was a little regretful for being so busy that she usually just randomly ate something before calling it a day. She… was even lucky that the child was still in her belly after incidents like that.

Soon, the maid served the porridge and Grace took small mouthfuls of it. Jason watched her as she ate.

His gaze made her feel a little awkward, so she could only find a topic to reduce the awkwardness. “The porridge is… pretty good. Don’t you want a bowl?”

“No thanks.” He refused lightly.

Then… the silence continued.

Grace continued to eat the porridge in front of her with her head down. Just as she was about to finish the porridge, Jason’s voice suddenly rang again. “Let’s go and get the marriage license tomorrow.”

Grace almost spat out her porridge before she could swallow

“Get… the marriage license?” She swallowed her porridge reluctantly and gawked at him.

“What’s the matter? You don’t want to? Do you regret agreeing to get married when you were in the hospital?” His brows were instantly furrowed, and he stared at her with intense pressure.

Grace could only feel Jason becoming frightening again. If she said yes, he would probably condemn her to eternal damnation.

She immediately said, “No! I have no regrets. Since I said I’ll marry you, I won’t go back on it!”

The pressure on her immediately subsided, and the sense of danger he exuded gradually faded.

He got up and went over to her, raising his hand to pick up the grain of rice stuck to the corner of her lips. He put it into his mouth.

“It seems that the porridge is indeed as good as you said,” he said.

Her face could not help reddening. It was a simple action, but the way he did it was so flirty and seductive.

Then he bent down, and his sweet woodwind-like voice rang in her ears. “You know what? I’m glad you said you won’t regret it. Otherwise, I really don’t know what I would’ve done. Maybe… I’d die with you?”

It was like a question he was asking himself.

She would never know how nervous he was when he asked her if she regretted it. He had been so nervous that he even felt his heartbeat and breathing stop.

Grace trembled, but his voice continued to ring in her ears. “Grace, you can’t regret it this time. I won’t give you a chance to regret it. From now on, you can only be my wife!”

She took a deep breath, met his gaze with those almond-shaped eyes of hers, and said in an affirming voice, “I won’t regret it!”

Besides, she had no room for regret at all.

Her bedroom was the same room as before. His bedroom was next door, and there was an adjoining door between the two bedrooms for easy access.

Grace had mixed feelings as she looked at the familiar room.

Everything in the room was the same as before. Even the clothes, the bottles, and jars she had not taken away were still there.

“See if you have anything you want to move to my room. You can tell the maids to move them for you,” said Jason. Seeing the flash of surprise on Grace’s face, he moved his thin lips. “Do you think we’ll still sleep in separato rooms when we’re married?”

She bit her lip a little. “I know we should sleep together if we’re married, but I’m pregnant right now. Can I sleep alone in this room until the baby is born…”

“What if I don’t want to?” he interrupted and said.

Her face immediately turned pale. “But the baby…” She just wanted to keep her hard-won baby and did not want to risk the slightest possibility of losing it.

“Jason, you can do whatever you want after the baby is born, but can you at least let me sleep in this room alone while I’m pregnant?”

Looking at her pale face, a touch of reluctance rose in his heart.

He always easily felt ‘reluctant’ with her, but had she ever felt

‘reluctant’ with him?

He suddenly reached out his arms and held her in his embrace. Grace made a conscious attempt to resist, wanting to escape the embrace.

He muttered, “Don’t move. I just want to hold you like this for a while.”

He held her, and as if he was concerned about the baby in her belly, his hug was even a little cautious. “I’m not that inhumane. I won’t do anything to you even if we sleep on the same bed.”

He just wanted to look at her. He just wanted to see her when he opened his eyes and smell her when he closed his eyes.
