After all, in Jason’s opinion, it was only a small matter. He did not want it to spoil Grace’s good mood.

“Yep.” Grace smiled and shared her joy with Jason. “You know what? Nelson can now understand what I’m saying by listening to me without looking at my mouth. It’s like he’s a genius.”

“Genius?” Jason snorted softly at this. “He’s a bit like his father.

then.”

His father? Grace was stunned for a moment. Then, her eyes widened in astonishment. “You know who Nelson’s father is?”

“Yes.” Jason was quick to admit.

Grace was stunned. She had wondered who Nelson’s father was and why he was never at Kyla’s side. Some of her colleagues at the restaurant had mentioned to her in private that Kyla probably had a child out of wedlock.

Grace wondered what kind of person would have made Kyla pregnant out of wedlock for her to have the baby.

If a woman was willing to have a child out of wedlock, the woman most probably loved the man. Otherwise, she would. have just aborted the child.

“How… How do you know?” asked Grace in surprise.

Jason smiled, raised his hand, and gently pushed a strand of hair that was on her cheek behind her ear. “You don’t expect me to be indifferent to your workplace, do you? Since you chose to work there, naturally, I had it checked out.”

Grace could not help but gulp down the saliva stuck in her throat and stare at Jason. She had no idea that he would go to such lengths.

Her silence made Jason frown a little. Gradually, his eyes became stained with gloominess. “You don’t like it? Do you feel like you’re being watched?”

Grace shook her head. “No, I know you’re afraid that something might happen to me.”

He looked at her in amazement. She knew! The gloom in his eyes faded away and only joy was left in his bright, amorous.

eyes.

“By the way, What kind of person is… uh, Nelson’s father?”

asked Grace.

“It’s Martin Weiss,” answered Jason.

Grace was taken aback once again. Grace had heard of a Martin Weiss but… Was the Martin Weiss Jason was talking.

about the Martin Weiss she had in mind?

“It looks like you know Martin Weiss,” said Jason.

“Is it Martin Weiss from the Weiss Group?” asked Grace.

“Yep, it’s him,” answered Jason.

Grace was silent. She knew Martin Weiss from when she was still a lawyer. She had heard a senior in the law firm mention. a case in which Martin Weiss, though not the plaintiff, was one of the key witnesses. His testimony eventually led to the defendant being imprisoned.

The defendant… Grace felt a sudden chill shoot down her back. The defendant’s name vaguely flashed across her mind. She recalled hearing the surname ” Corbyn “.

Kyla… Could it be that coincidental?

Could Martin Weiss have testified against Kyla? The very thought of the possibility left Grace feeling anxious.

Biting her lip, Grace looked at Jason and asked, “Then… do you know if Martin Weiss ever testified…”

Before she could finish, Jason interjected and said, “Kyla

Corbyn was sentenced to three years and six months in prison.

due to Martin Weiss’s testimony.”

Grace felt a sudden pang in her heart. Kyla had been sentenced to prison because of Martin Weiss, but she still gave birth to Martin Weiss’s child. Come to think of it, it was kind of ironic.

“Then, you must know of the case that caused Kyla Corbyn to be sentenced to prison,” said Jason. It was a little surprising that Grace knew Martin Weiss had testified against Kyla Corbyn. Nevertheless, Jason found it understandable as she was once a lawyer. Not to mention, the case that took place between Martin Weiss and Kyla Corbyn was quite sensational back then; it had also taken place before her accident.

Grace nodded and fell silent. She had thought that behind at woman with a child were only a few problems. She had never thought that the matter was so complicated.

A woman who had been thrown into prison by the father of her own child. How many people could withstand such a blow?

It had not been easy for Kyla Corbyn to open a small restaurant and, at the same time, raise Nelson.

“What’s wrong? Are you feeling sorry for Kyla Corbyn?” asked

Jason.

“Yep, I think life has been very hard on Kyla,” muttered Grace.

Jason stared at Grace’s worried expression. Was she worried.

about Kyla Corbyn?

She used to worry about her grandmother and Lina Sweeney. However, it now seemed as if she had more people to worry about. A bitter and sour feeling once again spread throughout

Jason’s body.

He knew that her worries were unrelated to romantic love.

However, Jason could not help but be jealous.

He probably cared too much about her feelings and did not want to share them with too many people. Jason covetously wanted her to invest more and more of her feelings in him.

“Will you get upset for me in the future, Sis?” Jason asked out of the blue.

Grace could not help but laugh. “Why do you ask that all of a sudden?”

Jason’s eyes glistened. “I just want to know. Will you? Or won’t you?” He was insistent on receiving an answer from her.

“Of course I’d be sad if something happened to you. Do you even have to ask? Therefore, I hope nothing ever happens to you and that you’re always safe and sound,” said Grace. Before Grace knew it, she was already afraid to imagine what would happen if something happened to Jason.

It seemed like the more you loved someone, the more you worried about their safety and the timider you became.

With that, a smile appeared on the corners of Jason’s mouth. On top of that, he took her hand, lowered his head, and scattered kisses on her palm. “Then, as you wish, I’ll be all right.”

Jason’s beautiful, black eyes stared at Grace in a fixated way that made the latter’s heart beat violently. Furthermore, her mind seemed to wallow in his eyes.

“Do you love me? Grace…” Jason muttered. His soft words. were like the deepest temptation.

He had called her Grace instead of Sis.

Grace’s eyes carefully looked at the face close at hand. Jason had picturesque eyes and brows, all of them were so delicate.

Such men seemed to be born to be looked up to as if never to be touched.

However, at this moment, such a man was so close to her.

“I love you,” said Grace. Yes. At the very beginning of their relationship, Grace had not been able to articulate her love. However, she could now feel that she loved him and that feeling was slowly getting deeper and deeper.

She had thought that after Sean Stevens’s betrayal, she would no longer be able to love anyone that deeply. However, it turned out she was wrong, and she could still love someone seriously.
