Grace looked in the direction of the voice and saw that the door which connected her bedroom to Jason’s bedroom was not closed. Jason was now hurrying across from the other bedroom.
“No… Nothing. I just remembered that I’m going to visit
Grandma tomorrow, and I haven’t bought anything yet,”
Grace said. In actually fact, she had bought a few things, but the Atkinson family had thrown them into the trash can.
“About that, I bought them for you and left them on the coffee table,” Jason said.
Grace looked at the coffee table in her room and saw a familiar packaged bag. It was… the same packaging bag she had received when she bought the pastries at the mall that day. Had he… bought the same ones?
“Are they the ones I bought today?” Grace asked breathlessly.
“Yes, I bought a few extra ones,” Jason said.
“How did you know what… uh, what I bought?” Grace asked doubtfully. Even if Jason had watched the video, the most he could have seen was the packaging bag.
“I just checked their transaction statement history and found out what you bought,” answered Jason.
It explained the matter. Grace finally understood that such things might not be that easy for the others but were easy him.
“By the way, I yelled abruptly just now. Did I bother you?”
asked Grace.
“There’s nothing you can do to bother me.” Jason crouched down beside her bed. “You’re my number one priority, no matter what.”
Grace stared blankly at the man in front of her. Now, he was not so high up as he used to be. He was even… looking at her with his head up.
It was as if the person who was high up in the sky had become her.
Jason took Grace downstairs to get something to eat and watched as the latter gulp downed what was supposed to have been dinner but was now a midnight snack. His eyes darkened slightly as he thought of the phone call Harold had made to him before she woke up.
Harold seemed as if he wanted to test how much he cared about Grace. Throughout the call, he did not stop mentioning the car accident.
If not because of the car accident… back then, why was he so uneasy in front of her? It was as if he was afraid that she would discover the truth.
He would make the Atkinson family pay for the justice they owed Grace. He would also clear her name because that was what he owed her!
“What’s the matter? Why are you looking at me like that?”
Suddenly, the person who had been eating with her head lowered was looking up at him.
“Nothing. I just think it’s great looking at you like this,” Jason replied.
Yes, it was great being able to see her up close, right next to him, and quietly.
At last, he had someone he desperately wanted.
The next day, Grace got up and set off with Jason to the town. her grandmother lived in.
Before leaving the house, Grace called her grandmother once more and gave her an estimated time of arrival. Over the phone, Grace’s grandmother sounded lively. Hence, she was vaguely rea**ured.
Presumably, her grandmother’s current physical condition should be all right.
Nevertheless, not wanting to enter the town in such a high profile, Grace took the opportunity to ask Jason if the car they drove could be a little more normal.
To no avail, the most normal car the Reed family had was a
BMW that cost about 2 million dollars.
Grace sighed. All right, a car worth two million was considered pretty good for the average person. However, it has to be said that for Jason, the vehicle seemed as “normal” as it could be.
However, Grace had not expected Jason to ask his driver to bring his personal car which only cost around 300 thousand dollars.
Grace was shocked.
“Didn’t you say you wanted it to be a little more normal?” asked Jason.
“I want it to be normal because I don’t want to stand out in the town. It’s a small town so all kinds of gossip would probably arise. I’m afraid such things would bother Grandma. But are you really going to drive this car?” said Grace.
“Did I just say all of that for fun?” Jason smiled. “All right, get in the car.”
It was only when Grace got into the car that she discovered that the driver was not coming this time and that Jason would be the one driving.
“You’re driving?” She asked.
“Yes. It’s not that far anyway. Just take a nap if you’re sleepy. I know the way there,” Jason said as he started the car.
Grace unconsciously pressed her lips together as she watched. Jason drive. It would take more than two hours for the car to reach the town.
It would be tiring for Jason to drive for more than two hours. However, Grace could not give him a hand because her driving license had been suspended and… she could never drive anymore.
It was a lifetime ban from driving!
Nevertheless… if she were one day able to reverse her case. and clear her name, she would then be able to get back. everything she had lost. That included her driver’s license, bar qualification, as well as other…
Of course, there were some things she would never get back, such as… her enthusiasm, innocence, ambition, beautiful thoughts about the world, affection that she thought was warm… and days of youth.
Grace was 28 years old now. Although she had not yet turned 30, most of the time, she felt as if her heart was already that old.
If she had not met Jason, there was a chance that she would really be dying like an elderly lady, living with an old heart until she grew old and pa**ed away.
Nonetheless, because of Jason, her old heart seemed to be getting more and more lively, and she began having some. hope.
At one point in time, Grace thought that the most painful thing that had happened to her after being released from prison. was meeting Jason and being deceived by him. However, in truth… it was part of her luck.
It was he who made her feel that life was getting better.
It was… great that he had fallen in love with her.
Grace slowly closed her eyes and fell asleep as she thought about it. By the time she woke up, the car had reached the town, and they were approaching her grandmother’s house.
Grace rubbed her eyes and said with some embarra**ment,
“I… fell asleep.”
“Yes, you slept soundly and even grinded your teeth in your sleep,” Jason added.
Grace immediately felt embarra**ed as her cheeks reddened. Really? Had she grinded her teeth when she was asleep?
“I’m just kidding. All right, we’ll reach your grandmother’s house in a few minutes,” said Jason.
Thus, Grace fixed her hair and clothes. When Jason pulled over at her grandmother’s house, he grabbed Grace by the hand just as she was about to get out.
She looked at him with a puzzled expression on her face. “What’s wrong?”
“Have you thought about how you’re going to introduce me later?” Jason asked.
Grace was taken aback but quickly replied, “Of course I’m going to introduce you as my boyfriend.”
