He came back to his senses and looked at the gorgeous face in front of him, which was completely different from Grace’s face. This woman was a movie star, a famous socialite in the city. She was a goddess in the hearts of many men. In the future, she would inherit all of the Atkinson family’s fortune.

Such a woman could not be more suitable to be his wife.

“Of course it’s you I love! Even without the accident, she and I

wouldn’t have made it to the end. We weren’t meant for each other after all,” said Sean Stevens.

“Shall we… get married then?” Lily asked suddenly. Ever since their engagement, they had been addressing each other as husband and wife.

In high society like theirs, betrothal was similar to marriage. The difference was only the lack of a marriage certificate. This made her feel a little uneasy.

Sean Stevens was stunned. “Why the sudden mention of marriage? Didn’t you say that you’re now popular and getting married would be bad for your career? Besides, if we want to get married, we have to deal with our family’s companies first.”

After all, a marriage between people like them not only involved each other but also their family’s companies and the interests of their two families.

“You’re right,” said Lily as she seemed to sober up a little. “I was too impatient. Let our marriage go as planned then, but

Sean…”

Lily paused and stared at him. “You must promise me that you’ll treat me with all your heart. Whatever I do, it’s all for you, so you must never let me down.”

Sean Stevens could not help feeling breathless under her gaze. It was as if she was implying something. However, he immediately laughed at himself for thinking too much.

Did women not always like to say things like that? They always loved their men making promises to them.

“Of course, I’ll never do you wrong. You’re my wife, the future mistress of the Stevens family!” said Sean Stevens.

With a satisfied smile, Lily snuggled into Sean Stevens’s arms.

Her gorgeous face turned cold the moment she buried into his arms. Grace… The name was like a thorn, piercing her heart.

That was back then, and it was still the same now.

So what if Jason treated Grace like a delicate treasure now? Grace might not be able to stay by Jason’s side in the future. After all, there were things enough to destroy everything Grace knew.

Grace was no stranger to banquets, having previously. accompanied Sean Stevens to a few. It was just that she was a little different now than she was then.

Having spent more than three years in prison, she had not taken much care of her skin. Her skin was rougher than before, and her hands were full of calluses. Her hair was not as silky smooth as before either.

However, as if to erase this layer of worry in her, a professional stylist and a makeup artist came to Reed Residence in the afternoon to give Grace a makeover for the banquet.

The lilac-colored evening gown looked elegant. The crystals and crushed diamonds on the gown made it more eye-catching.

A dress like this was probably worth a lot of money.

The stylist only said to Grace, “This is the dress Mr. Reed has prepared for Miss Cummins. Mr. Reed said it’s your size.”

Grace could not help but blush at that.

He knew her size perfectly well.

When Grace changed into the gown, she was impressed with Jason’s ability to choose the gown and its size. It was not too tight or loose on her body, and the color complemented her skin tone.

Even if she had not put on any makeup, her whole complexion seemed enhanced by her just wearing the gown.

Then, the stylist styled Grace’s hair. With the stylist’s skillful hands, her hair was braided into a half-up hairstyle. The hair on her sides was braided and pinned up while the rest of her hair was let down and styled into wavy curls, making her look ladylike and also a little lively.

When the makeup artist was done, Grace stared at herself in the mirror.

The makeup artist did not put on too much makeup on her. The makeup was pretty light and was focused on her eyes and lips, accentuating her features.

It made her feel like she was back in her prime days. This was how she had looked before.

No, she was more beautiful now than before.

“You look so beautiful…” A mutter rang in Grace’s ear.

Grace suddenly came back to her senses and saw Jason in the mirror. No one knew when he had come up behind her. His hand was now lightly pressed against her shoulders, and his bright eyes were looking at her reflection in the mirror.

That was when Grace found out that the makeup artist and stylist were no longer in the room.

“Where did they go?” she asked in surprise.

“I asked them to leave,” said Jason, slowly leaning down as his face inched closer to hers. “Do you like the gown? I thought it’d suit you as soon as I saw it.”

“Yes,” she muttered. Women always liked pretty things. How could she not like such a pretty gown? However… “It’s probably expensive. It’ll be a waste to wear this only once.””

What she meant was that there were cheaper options.

When he heard this, he said, “If you think it’s a waste, just accompany me to more banquets so that it won’t be.”

“…” Grace was so stunned that she had nothing to retort.

Jason took Grace’s hand and said, “All right, let’s go.”

The temperature of his hand pa**ed to her palm. She gently responded to him before standing up. Then, she followed him. out of the room and came downstairs.

Outside the main house, the car was already prepared. Jason held Grace’s hand as he got into the car.

On their way there, Grace could not help looking at Jason who was wearing a formal black suit, white shirt, and dark purple. fie. He looked smart and fresh, and it suited him very well.

He had a sharp jawline that was rare among Asians and delicate features. His black hair was styled neatly while his bangs were combed back to reveal his beautiful forehead.

The curve of his neck was lost in the neckline of his shirt.

If the collar of his shirt was loosened a little, she might see his collarbone. As Grace thought about it, the shape of his collarbone flashed in her mind.

Speaking of which, his collarbone was beautiful. She had never thought that one day she would use the word ‘beautiful’ on a man’s collarbone, but it seemed so natural and fitting for her to describe his collarbone as beautiful.

Below his collarbone… Grace’s mind went back to that night when she saw every inch of his body. She had felt his temperature and presence. It was so crazy… It was something she had never imagined before.

The blood flow in her body seemed to be accelerating, and her cheeks were getting hotter and hotter.

‘Oh my God! Stop thinking about it!’

Grace said to herself. Suddenly, she heard an elegant voice in her ears. “What’s on your mind, Sis?”

The mutter, as if with endless temptation, caused Grace to stiffen.

What was on her mind… How could she tell him that? Should she tell him that she was thinking of his body?!

Suddenly, Grace’s face turned even redder.

“Your face is so red.” With a slight chill, his fingers touched her cheek. The temperature difference made it even more obvious. how hot her face was now.
