Jason smiled. “All right, let’s go.”
After getting out of the car, Grace approached the door and knocked on it. Shortly after, someone answered her. It was Third Aunt.
When Third Aunt saw Grace, her expression became a little sarcastic. “It’s you, Grace. You’ve even brought a man with you this time!”
Third Aunt glanced out the door as she said so and noticed the ordinary car parked in front of the house. Almost instantly, she looked at Grace with something like a sneer.
They all thought that her niece had hooked up with a rich man. After all, a man had exaggeratedly saved her from the fool’s house that day.
However, looking at the car parked outside, it did not look like a luxury car. Additionally, Third Aunt was capable of recognizing most fancy cars.
The man beside her niece looked pretty good but what was the point of being good-looking? He could only be ornamental!
Besides, the man most probably did not know that her niece.
had been to prison before!
“Yes, I’ve come to see Grandma, How’s she doing?” replied
Grace. She had heard that First Uncle, Second Uncle, and
Third Aunt were taking turns to take care of her grandmother.
Since Third Aunt answered the door, it had to be Third Aunt’s turn.
“Your grandmother is capable of eating and sleeping like normal. She’s currently sleeping in her room,” said Third Aunt.
As they talked, the three of them reached the living room..
Third Aunt’s daughter, Stella Lindsay, was seated in the living. room, cracking sunflower seeds and watching a TV drama.
Stella Lindsay had wanted to tease Grace as soon as the latter arrived. However, the former’s eyes lit up, and she could hardly look away when she saw Jason standing next to Grace.
Grace turned to Jason and said, “Why don’t you stay here. while I go over to my grandmother’s room to see her?”
“Sure,” said Jason before he gracefully took a seat on a chair. His posture did not show restraint but did not come across as rude either.
Grace turned around and headed for her grandmother’s room, while Stella Lindsay looked hard at Jason.
She thought that the man looked like a portrait just by sitting. there. However, just as she was about to open her mouth to try and talk to Jason, she became intimidated by the invisible.
sense of alienation he exuded.
He was like someone she could only admire from a distance.
and could not get close to.
Grace went to her grandmother’s room but did not cross. paths with her grandfather. In the room, her grandmother was seen lying on the bed fast asleep. She looked thinner compared to the last time Grace saw her.
Grace looked at the elderly lady in front of her, and for some reason, she felt as if her grandmother already had one foot set in the grave.
Perhaps it was because her grandmother was getting old. Even if her memories of her grandmother were full of spirit and vigor, now that the years had gone by, especially after having a bout with an illness, no one knew how many years her grandmother had left.
Therefore, since her grandmother had been given one more year to live, she should cherish her time with her!
After watching her for a while, Grace silently exited the room, not wanting to disturb her grandmother’s sleep; she could wait until her grandmother woke up to have a good talk with her.
When Grace returned to the living room, she found Jason sitting in a chair, idly playing with his phone.
“You done seeing your grandmother?” asked Jason.
“Grandma’s still asleep. I didn’t wake her up and came out first,” answered Grace.
As Grace was speaking, Stella Lindsay, her cousin, came out with two cups of tea and placed them in front of her and Jason. “Come and have some tea, Grace.”
There was a flash of surprise in Grace’s eyes. Her cousin had never served her tea before when she came back.
“Hey, Grace. Aren’t you going to introduce the gentleman you brought here?” asked Third Aunt, her tone sounded rather jealous.
“He’s my boyfriend, Jason,” answered Grace. She did not say Jason’s full name on purpose so that her relatives would not cause a ruckus when they find out Jason was Jason.
All Grace wanted was for her grandmother to spend her remaining years in peace.
“Boyfriend? Impossible!” exclaimed Stella Lindsay.
It sounded as if Grace had told a big joke.
Jason squinted his eyes and gazed coldly at Stella Lindsay.
All of a sudden, Stella Lindsay felt as if she had fallen into a hole in the ice. It was so cold that she could even feel the chill from the depths of her heart.
“Why, is it impossible?” Jason asked lazily.
Stella Lindsay smiled lamely. “No… Nothing. I just didn’t think that Grace that has been to prison would find a boyfriend so soon after getting out. That’s… fast…””
Stella Lindsay’s words obviously meant much more than what was implied and were obviously referring to someone; it was a deliberate attempt to blow the whistle on Grace’s imprisonment.
In her opinion, Grace had been able to find a boyfriend because she kept her imprisonment hidden.
How could Grace not tell what Stella Lindsay was thinking?
However, it was the first time she felt unembarra**ed even though someone had exposed her imprisonment.
Perhaps it was because Jason was sitting next to her, and he knew everything about her.
Jason’s eyes darkened as he looked at Stella Lindsay, while his face tinged with anger. After a moment, he once again raised a smile from the corners of his mouth. “So what? Having
Grace as my girlfriend is what I want. I was on cloud nine for several days when she said yes.”
He was actually telling the truth. When she agreed to be hist girlfriend, Jason really felt that he had not been so happy for a long time!
He had been unaware that people could be so happy when they managed to possess a treasure they desired!
Stella Lindsay was shocked that Jason not only knew about it… but even said he desired it!
What was desirable about dating an ex-convict? Nevertheless, Hua Lifan was a little too afraid to ask Jason that.
Although the man named Jason was now smiling, his gaze toward her was even colder than before. It made it difficult for her to sit still.
It was as if the man would not tolerate anyone talking bad about Grace.
Stella Lindsay’s heart could not help but tinge with envy. Stella Lindsay was jealous that Grace was able to find such a handsome boyfriend who did not care about her imprisonment. On her end, she had married a blacksmith when she was young.
Stella Lindsay had thought that the blacksmith she married was at the very least skilled. Additionally, he did pay a substantial bride price. However, throughout the past few years, Stella Lindsay had begun feeling more and more miserable.
The friends she used to go out with now all living good lives in the city, marrying white-collar workers, civil servants, directors, and alike. They sounded so high-cla** that Stella Lindsay was embarra**ed to say that her husband was merely a blacksmith.
She had often wondered in recent years that if she had not married so early, would she have been married in town now? At the very least, she would be married to a white-collar worker!
“Hey, so this is Grace’s boyfriend,” said Third Aunt as she interposed with a tone of earnest concern. “You must cherish him. Tell me, what did that rich and powerful man earlier see in you? Didn’t he find you interesting at first but then dump you when he came around?”
