Yes, he wanted to!

He really wanted to!

If she said yes now, he would marry her at once.

Grace’s face immediately turned red. On the other hand, Grandma only gave a little laugh and shifted her gaze to Grace. “Grace has good taste to have found a boyfriend like Jay. I look forward to your wedding reception.””

Grace was speechless. Wedding reception… Uh, Grandma was thinking too far ahead. She and Jason had only just started dating!

However… Grace could not help but imagine her marrying

Jay…

“Not… not so fast, Grandma!” stuttered Grace.

Jason bent over slightly and whispered in Grace’s ear, “No?”

“…” Grace was embarra**ed. How could she answer such a question?

Her grandmother sighed, took her hand, and said, “You must hurry up or I might not be able to attend your wedding reception.”

Grace was shocked when her grandmother held her hand in such a way that she realized it was thinner than before. Grace could clearly feel the bones of her grandmother’s hand by how the latter had her hand around hers.

It was as if only a thin piece of skin was wrapped around her bones, and her hand had no flesh.

Grandma… was older than she thought.

Grace felt a pang of bitterness in her heart, and her face naturally showed her sadness.

“Hey, why are you sad again?” Grandma patted Grace on the back of her hand and said, “I’m relieved to see that you’re doing well and that someone can take care of you. Finally, I can justify myself when I see your mother down there.”

“Don’t you say that, Grandma!” Grace said hurriedly. One could say that Grace was superstitious, but she was really afraid her grandmother would pa** on. The only person left who cared about her as someone of the same family was her

Grandma!

“All right. All right. I won’t say it anymore. I’ll live a few more years to see you get married. I’d better see you have a baby as well,” Grandma said with a chuckle.

Grace relaxed a little and brought out the pastries that she had bought for her grandmother to taste.

The three of them talked a bit more, and Grandma asked Jason about his family. Grandma then found out that Jason had only one grandfather left, had lost his father, and had been abandoned by his mother when he was very young. Hence, she could not help but show him sympathy with the look in her eyes.

“You and Grace have gone through similar things. She lost her mother as well, so she was stuck with me for quite some time,” said Grandma. Then, as if something had suddenly occurred to her, she said, “Here, I have a picture of Grace when she was still a kid. Do you want to take a look?”

“Sure.” Jason did not refuse.

Grace was a little embarra**ed. “Grandma!”

“Go and fetch me the photo album.” Grandma directed Grace.

Hence, under Jason and her grandmother’s watchful eyes, Grace had no choice but to take the old photo album.

Grandma then got Jason to look at the photos one by one. Each time she flipped over to a photo of Grace, she would tell Jason what had happened and the story behind it.

Although Grandma was old, her memory was very good. She remembered very clearly many things and even the minor details of certain incidents.

Jason’s eyes narrowed as the album turned to a certain page. “This is?” He asked while staring at the photo.

“Oh, this is Grace’s cousin, my third daughter’s daughter,” replied Grandma.

Grace then explained, “It’s my cousin who was in the living room just now, Stella Lindsay.”

It was her. Jason wore a smirk on her face as she looked at the person in the photo. “You looked exactly like her when she was a child. However, both of you look very different now.”

“Yes, there was a time when we looked alike. Back in those days, my cousin and I were often mistaken for one another. However, as we grew older, our features became more and more distinct,” said Grace.

“Great, Fortunately, you look different now,” muttered Jason. He did not want that woman to have Grace’s face on her.

However, it was good that they both looked alike as… children.

Jason’s eyelashes fluttered a little, and he lowered his eyes. His long eyelashes covered the thoughts and calculations that were going on in his eyes at that moment…

Jason and Grace stayed for dinner. When it was getting dark. toward the evening, Grace’s grandfather, Old Mr. Kelleigh, returned. Nevertheless, he was indifferent towards Grace and even worse toward Jason.

Grace was no stranger to his attitude. However, seeing her grandfather’s attitude toward Jason, she looked at the latter with some concern.

After all, because of his Jason’s status, few people dared treat him that way.

Nonetheless, Jason only smiled at Grace as if he could sense.

her concern. He gave a look that suggested she need not worry.

It was a relief to Grace.

During dinner, her grandmother was quite happy and had a better appetite than usual.

While eating, Stella Lindsay could not help but say in a tone full of sarcasm, “Hey, Grandpa, do you know that Grace left the Sanitation Service Center and is now working as a food delivery rider? Although working as a food delivery rider is a little tiring, it seems that if you work hard, you can earn some money.”

“What’s there to be said about being a rider? Isn’t she ashamed that she has ended up as an errand girl after so many years of studying?” Old Mr. Kelleigh snorted.

Grace’s face paled a little upon hearing that. However, her grandmother spoke up for her, “What are you talking about, old man? Grace is independent and does not steal or rob.

What is there to be ashamed of?”

“Had I known that she would end up like this, would I have let her study so much? It would have been better if she began working early like Stella,” said Old Mr. Kelleigh.

Stella Lindsay took the opportunity to say, “Hey, I thought you would make a difference and bring honor to the family, Grace.

Who knew a law student like you would deliberately break the law, drinking and driving? Don’t do such a thing again. We were humiliated enough the last time you went to prison.”

Grandma clearly looked angry. Grace, fearing that her grandmother’s anger would affect her body, quickly smoothed things over. Fully aware that Stella Lindsay was mocking her, she smiled and said, “I’ve learned my lesson. Why wouldn’t I remember?”

Having beat Grace verbally, Stella Lindsay felt rather triumphant. However, just then, another voice rang, “I don’t think there’s anything to be ashamed of. By living an independent life, she’s more dignified than a lot of people.”

Jason said as he looked at Grace with doting eyes.

This made Stella Lindsay jealous again. What was so great about Grace? It seemed as if the man only had Grace in his eyes.

Grace might have been an elite lawyer in the past, but she was only someone who had been to prison now,

Stella Lindsay could not figure out what Jason saw in Grace.

Grace met Jason’s haze and felt a sense of warmth inside. The man would stand up for her anytime.

Grandma witnessed it and was secretly pleased.

Grace was going to leave after one meal. However, before she left, she said reluctantly, “Grandma, when you get better, I’ll take you to Emerald City to taste some of the local specialties there.”

“All right. All right. Grace is the most filial,” Grandma said with a smile.

Filial? Grace’s face showed a slight hint of sadness. If she were filial, she would keep her grandmother beside her and take care of her.
