*************Chapter 548********************

The only thing that comforted the managing director right now was that the dividers of the stalls in the ladies’ restroom covered the top till the bottom. There was only a tiny gap at the ceiling. It was unlikely to cause any commotion with Master Reed barging in like this.

No one knew how much time had pa**ed, but Jason and Grace finally came out of the restroom.

The managing director drew a long breath. After all, many strange looks had turned their way when they were standing here.

The managing director and the staff then saw the man who could not be offended in the entire Emerald City taking the woman by the arm and carefully seating her on the chair. He poured a gla** of water from the water dispenser and handed it to her.

Did Master Reed… just serve water to someone else?

Those who knew who Jason was were dumbfounded. After all, it was normal for others to serve Master Reed water but not the other way around.

Grace took it and drank some water. Jason reached into the pocket of his suit and took out a small tin box containing preserved plums. He took one out and handed it to her. “Eat this. I heard it can stop the nausea if you have severe morning sickness.”

Grace felt a little more comfortable as she sucked on the preserved plum. “Who told you that plums could stop nausea?”

“Terrence.” Jason spat out a name.

“Is Terrence married?” Grace asked in surprise. Her previous impression of Terrence was that he seemed to be single.

“No, he said his mother threw up heavily when she was pregnant with him, but she got better after eating preserved plums,” said

Jason.

Grace was rendered speechless as she looked at the man in front of her. Suddenly, she wondered how two men like him and

Terrence discussed the subject of morning sickness and… uh, what were the looks on their faces as they discussed the topic.

Grace felt a little more comfortable after resting for a while, and they began to take their photos.

The two sat together. The photographer knew Jason’s identity by now, so they spoke a little more cautiously than usual. “Guys, please smile…”

Jason suddenly whispered in Grace’s ear, “Do you want me to smile?”

Grace was slightly surprised and turned to look at him. His eyes were staring at her. There was no other expression on his beautiful face. It was as if he was just asking her this in a normal way.

However… there seemed to be so much emotion in his eyes that Grace suddenly had an indescribable feeling.

“I… want you to smile,” she heard her voice mutter.

“Okay, I’ll smile.” He slowly smiled, and it was like the melting snow–so beautiful people could not look away.

Click!

With the click of the camera, their photo for the marriage license was out.

When Grace took the photo from the photographer and looked at it, all she could see was that she and Jason were wearing white clothes and smiling in front of the camera.

Her smile was better than she had expected. At least there was nothing sad about it.

His smile… was so beautiful… and so bright it reminded her of the same way he had smiled when they were still together.

Back then, she liked to caress his eyebrows and eyes with her fingers while saying, “Do you know you’re charming and seductive when you smile? It’s as if you’ll steal people’s souls away when you smile like this.”

He would give an even more charming smile. “Have I stolen your soul then?” As he said, his peach blossom eyes would be focused on her.

She immediately blushed and felt that she had dug a hole for herself.

He took her hand and gently kissed it. “You know what? I only smile this way to show you the part of me that will attract you the most. I just want to attract you so you can love me more. Grace, I’l only smile like this for you. There will be no one else.”

She had felt so warm and sweet back then, but now… After all the things that had happened between them, there seemed to be a deep gulf between them. She did not know what the future would hold for them…

“What’s the matter? Do you think it’s a bad picture?” Jason’s voice rang.

“Ah. No, it’s good,” Grace said quickly.

“Then let them use this photo for the marriage license,” he said as he pulled the photo out of her hand and handed it to the staff nearby.

Grace’s gaze turned to the vowing hall next door.

Couples said their vows and received their marriage licenses from the staff here.

She had once yearned to give someone the promise of a lifetime too.

“We can skip the vowing part and just get the license if you don’t want to do it,” said Jason.

Grace pressed her lips together and said abruptly, “I want to do it!”

A look of surprise flashed across his face. His dark eyes looked at her, and he did not speak for a long time.

She seemed to finally come to her senses and immediately said, “If you don’t want to—”

“Do you want to tell me, ‘For richer, for poorer, in sickness and health, to join with you and share all that is to come, and I promise to love you and care for you forever’?” He slowly recited the wedding vows. He always had a good memory and remembered it easily after hearing the newly-married couples say it a few times.

However, when the cold voice recited the vows, it sounded very calm-different from the excitement of the couples earlier who did it. “Tell me, can we love and care for each other forever?”

Grace shivered a little and met Jason’s eyes. She agreed to get married because of Lina and the baby in her belly.

Since she had made such a choice, instead of accepting it miserably, why not face it with a smile? Besides, the child was a gift from heaven. It was something she previously dared not expect!

“I… want to care for you. I want to have a happy family with you!” Grace took a deep breath and said, “Jason, I don’t know if we can go back to the way we used to be. Maybe we can, or maybe we can never fall in love like that again. Your heart may no longer have feelings for me, but… I still want to work on our marriage and give our child a warm family!”

She wanted to give her child the warmth of a family she never had. Even though the love between her and him was fragmented, she still wanted to manage it well.

“Of course, if… you want a divorce after the baby is born, I’ll cooperate as long as… you let me have the baby. I can promise you I won’t let the child suffer with me. I’ll try my best to give the baby a good environment…”

She had barely finished when he interrupted her, “Don’t even think about getting a divorce! Never in this life! You’ll only be my wife, and your husband will only be me!”

She was stunned, and when it was time for them to recite their vows on stage, Grace was still a little out of it.

It was not until she began to recite the wedding vows that she came back to her senses bit by bit. Somehow, she seemed to feel that Jason’s voice was not as cold as it was just now.

It was as if… there were more emotions in it!

“From this day onward, we’re voluntarily married as husband and wife, sharing the responsibilities and obligations of matrimony…” Grace recited word by word.

‘From now on, I’m truly stuck with the man.

‘I finally have a family of my own, and one day soon, I’ll have a child of my own. No matter how difficult the future is, will I go through it together with him?
