Jason fixed his gaze on Grace. She would not understand the panic that had risen in his heart when he heard Tony Cummins saying that.

When they were in the hospital, she had said that if she were Kyla Corbyn, she would not forgive Martin Weiss who put Kyla Corbyn in prison with only a testimony.

Tony Cummins was right. He was no different from them. When she was unjustly imprisoned, he had chosen to look on coldly like them.

One could say that he was even worse. He knew who the real culprit was, but he did not care that an innocent person was bearing a crime that was not hers and suffering so much pain in prison because of his indifference!

“Are you sure you don’t mind?” murmured Jason.

“Sometimes, but it has nothing to do with feelings I never had any feelings for Jennifer only chose ter because Grandpa thought she was suitable for the Reed family. I thought I would never fall in love with anyone in my life, so back then, I didn’t mind.”

Jason said and took Grace’s hand. He pressed her palm against his cheek, muttering, “Fortunately you’re alive… If I had known l was going to meet you, I would never have let myself get involved with any other woman. I would’ve waited for you alone.”

If the direction of the accident had slightly deviated or if she had gotten out of the car a little later, she might not be here today.

Jason still had a twinge of dread in his heart as he thought of it.

Even though the woman was standing right in front of him, he could not stop his heart from fluttering with fear.

Grace murmured, “Yes, I survived. It’s just a pity Jennifer… But we’ve found out the real cause of the accident, and it’s all over now.”

Jason was silent. ‘The real cause… Actually… she knows nothing.’

However, he dared not explain everything to her.

She had a strong sense of justice. How could she tolerate someone who knew the truth but chose to ignore it?

“What’s the matter? What’s that look in your eyes?” Grace asked somewhat strangely. “It’s like you’ve made a mistake and you don’t know what to do.”

Jason’s eyelashes fluttered slightly. “What if… I really did make a mistake?”

Grace said with a smile, “Then tell the truth, and you’ll receive a lighter sentence. Resist it, and you’ll suffer a severe punishment.”

“Will I get a lighter sentence if I confess?” he asked.

“Why don’t you try and confess?” she joked. She did not think he had done anything wrong. Even if he did, he would be able to fix it, but…

“Jay, you can tell me if you really have something on your mind. We’re already a married couple. Didn’t they say a married couple is in the same boat?”

He said, “Grace, I regret the most for not knowing you earlier. If I had known you sooner, I’d surely… have fallen in love with you wouldn’t have let anyone hurt you.”

“It’s not too late,” said Grace. The hand pressing against Jason’s cheek stroked his head and gently rubbed his hair. ‘Mhm… It feels good.’

“It’s not too late?” he asked.

“Yes, it’s not,” she replied.

‘Not too late…’ He hoped it was not too late either! He was willing to use everything to care for her and protect her from any more harm.

If only he could make up for what he owed her.

“Sorry…” he muttered.

She was perplexed, not understanding why he said that all of a sudden. “You-”

She had barely begun speaking when he leaned over and kissed her on the lips.

“Mhm… Jay…” He engulfed all her voice.

His kiss was overbearing and restless. It had a desperate longing that was like a wounded animal desperately seeking comfort.

She could not help responding to his kiss, trying to comfort him and ease all his unease.

‘What is Jay so upset about? We’ve reconciled and started over. Everything’s going in the right direction!

‘Or is it only a misconception?’

When the kiss ended, his face was full of misty desire, and those charming peach blossom eyes stared intently at her. “Grace…”

His voice was hoarse and soul-crushing. He whispered her name, but it seemed to make her soul tremble.

“I… I can’t do it now. There’s a risk of miscarriage…” She could only remind him.

“I know. I won’t do that to you,” he said while he panted slightly. Since she was fighting for the three children with her life, he would cherish them too. “Don’t move. Just let me… hold you like this for a while.”

His voice was already enamored. His arms carefully wrapped around her, and he was using all his restraint to suppress the desire in his body.

Grace stayed quietly in Jason’s arms. She felt his tense body and knew that he was restraining himself.

‘Perhaps it’s his willingness to exercise such restraint for me and the children that’s making me love him more.

‘More?’ Grace was stunned by the thought that flashed through her mind. Then, she smiled faintly.

She seemed to be loving him more and more. After getting over the knot in her heart, this love was also growing rapidly.

Grace hugged Jason back and heard him mutter in her ear, “Promise me, forget about the past, okay? Let’s start all over.”

She replied with a smile, “I thought we were already starting over?”

“Promise me you’ll forget about it!” He seemed to insist.
