The black car pulled away slowly.
Only then did Patrick finally come back to his senses.
He was surprised by everything that had happened today. Not only had Jason married Grace, but what was even more surprising was that Grace turned out to be the little girl who Brian had been looking for.
It might sound crazy, but it was true.
Seeing the way Brian looked right now, Patrick sighed in his heart. Growing up, he rarely saw Brian cry, but Grace had now made
Brian cry.
It seemed it was true that beautiful women were fatal.
“Brian, let me take you home,” said Patrick.
“Home?” Brian sneered. His pale face looked like a mess with those tears. “Yes, I have to go home. There are things I have to do. But Patrick, why do you think I’ve persisted for so many years? I met her first. It was me! But all she gave me was a word of sorry!”
Patrick kept quiet, not knowing how to answer.
After all, there were some things in the world that did not bother about who came first and who did not!
Grace and Jason returned to Reed Residence. Jason said,
“Accompany me to the mourning hall. Since we got married today,
I want to tell my father about it.”
“Okay,” she answered, knowing his father was a pain in his heart and the family he missed the most. He indeed needed to tell his father about a day like this.
Grace followed Jason to the mourning hall, but she came in a very different mood this time.
Mr. Reed’s memorial tablet was placed quietly under the lamplight.
Jason put the two marriage licenses in front of the tablet and said nothing. He just quietly stared at the tablet with his father’s name engraved on it. It was as if what he wanted to say was already on the two marriage licenses.
Grace walked up to the memorial tablet and respectfully bowed three times before saying, “Dad, although we’ve never met, I’ve become Jay’s wife and the daughter-in-law of the Reed family today. Besides, Jay and I have three babies. This family will be bustling with noise and excitement again once the babies are born.”
Grace once felt that her father-in-law should not have left his young child behind. He had chosen to die because he could not bear the loss of love.
However… he must have loved his son with all his heart.
Otherwise, Jay would not still miss his father so much after all these years.
“I’ll strive to be a good wife and a good mother. I’ll work on this marriage,” she said seriously and truly thought so as well.
Since she had chosen to take this path, she wanted to make it a good choice. Even if the only thing that bound her to Jason was their children, she still hoped that at least their children would have a harmonious family-not one full of strife and resentment.
When she finished speaking, she turned her head and found Jason looking at her. Those ink-like eyes looked as if they were covered with a layer of yellow light.
“What I said… it’s all true,” she said a little uneasily as she faced his gaze.
“Will you swear on it?” he said slowly. His cold voice sounded somewhat solemn in the ancestral hall.
“Swear?” She was stunned.
“Yes, swear. Swear before my father’s tablet that you’ll never leave me again, and you’ll stay by my side until the end of our lives!” His voice rushed into her ears and pressed on her heart like a heavy mountain.
This oath was too serious!
She pressed her lips together and kept quiet.
He smiled faintly with a hint of sarcasm. “Come on, let’s go back to the main house.” It did not matter if she was unwilling to swear. He was never going to let her go anyway.
However, just as he turned to leave, her voice sounded behind him. “I’ll swear!”
He stopped dead in his tracks and turned his head back in disbelief. He saw her thin figure saying word after word as she faced the tablet, “From now on, I won’t leave Jay unless he wants to end this marriage. I’ll be by his side for the rest of my life. Dad, please be my witness!”
Her voice was soft but firm. Her pretty profile was dim under the lamplight, but it was so attractive.
She turned to look at him with a faint smile. “Now, are you willing to believe what I say?”
A wave seemed to be stirring in his heart at that moment.
He thought that by using Lina’s treatment and the babies to force her to marry him, she would be reluctant. Maybe she would be sad, resentful, or end up crying.
He had considered all kinds of situations and even told himself that he did not have to care about what her reaction would be. He just wanted to keep her trapped beside him.
However, he did not expect her to take such an approach toward their marriage. When she had told Brian the word ‘willingly’, did she know that after he heard that, what flashed across his heart was joy?
However, he had told himself not to believe what she said so easily. Once he believed, what he might get in the end was an overwhelming disappointment.
If you had no expectations, you would not be disappointed, right?
However… she was looking at him firmly as she smiled. It was both quiet and gentle. When he looked at her at this moment, it was as if he was seeing the person she was before—the woman who would keep him in her heart, love him, and once said she would protect him!
This woman was the first woman he called ‘Sis’ and the first woman he fell in love with!

‘Am I… going to let myself fall into this again and bring everything I have to her feet, including my trust and dignity?’”
Jason pressed his thin lips tightly as he approached Grace step by step. His dark eyes were staring at her.
Instead of avoiding his eyes, she looked straight into them.
Finally, he raised his hand and held her in his arms. “Grace, I’m trusting you this one last time. Just once.”
He would trust her to do what she just swore she would do.
Rather than him believing her, he wanted to believe her and that what she said would come true!
Grace leaned in Jason’s arms, taking in his familiar scent. He was willing to believe her. Did that mean their marriage could go smoothly?
No matter how much faith he still had in her, at least he was willing to believe her for now, and that was a good thing!
Patrick sent Brian back to his mansion, but Brian did not want to enter the mansion. Instead, Brian stood at the mansion’s gate and fell into a trance.
Patrick had no choice but to stand with him.
