“I don’t even care about myself. Do you think I care about glory? I can make the Reed family thrive or cease. If you think it’s all right. for me to ruin the Reed family, you can try,” said Jason.

Old Master Reed was silent. He had raised the child himself, but he still could not control him.

He was growing old while the child was growing stronger.

“You really are… Becoming more and more like your father.” Old Master Reed looked at his grandson with mixed feelings. He still remembered that his son had also said to him that he must marry. that woman. It did not matter even if he needed to give up his status as the Reed family’s young master.

It was as if everything the Reed family had was nothing to write home about.

Jason pressed his lips together and said nothing.

Then Old Master Reed added, “You’ll regret it one day, just as your father did…” However, it was all too late and Jason’s father lost his life.

“I won’t regret it. Falling in love with her and marrying her is the last thing I’ll ever regret,” said Jason with great certainty.

“Is that so? Haha…” Old Master Reed suddenly started laughing. “You won’t regret it… That’s easy to say, but I’m already old and I’ve got one foot in the grave. Maybe I’ll die before you regret it.”

“Then live longer,” Jason stared at Old Master Reed as he said, “May you live a long life so you can see how much I don’t regret it. Maybe you can see the birth of mine and Grace’s baby. That should be fun,” Jason said, loosening his foot.

The secretary whom he had been stepping on finally felt that he survived a disaster. He quickly stood up and looked at Jason with a look of fear as well as alarm. Then, he asked Old Master Reed, “Are you all right, Old Master?”

Old Master Reed shook his head and looked at his grandson. “Do you really want me to live a long life?”

“Yes.” Jason smiled. The previous rage in his bright and amorous eyes had faded. He looked noble and elegant as if his cruelness. earlier did not exist at all. “Grandpa, may you live a long life so that you can see that my father and I are different, and… How happy I’ll be!”

With that, Jason left the ward.

There was loneliness in Old Master Reed’s expression.

‘Live a long life?’ He looked at his old hands. He was already old and his health was deteriorating every year. Even though he had been recuperating in the hospital for a long time, he could not resist the natural process of aging.

“Tell me, can I live a long life?” Old Master Reed asked the secretary in the ward.

The secretary hurriedly replied, “Of course, you can live a long life, Old Master.”

“Well then, let me see if he’s the same as his father,” muttered Old Master Reed.

In the evening, Grace asked Jason for his opinion as she held the bridal booklets Terrence sent over in the afternoon.

“These are some designers who are a little famous. If you have any other designers you like, you can name them and I’ll ask.

someone to get in touch with them,” said Jason.

‘A little famous?’ Grace was speechless. ‘These are some famous designers!”

“No, the designers here are pretty good,” Grace said quickly,

“However…” She bit her lip somewhat hesitantly.

“What is it?” he asked, raising his eyebrows.

“I’ve a lot of scars on my body, so the wedding dress can only be designed conservatively. If it’s too revealing, my scars will be revealed,” she said, embarra**ed.

He felt a throbbing pain in his heart. “A conservative one would be nice. I don’t like the idea of my bride wearing a dress that’s too revealing.” The corners of Jason’s mouth raised slightly as he wrapped his arms around Grace before saying, “I wish your wedding dress could cover you from head to toe. You know what? I’m a possessive person, so I can’t bear to let others see an inch more of your skin.”

Although she had initially been embarra**ed about this, his words. easily made her relieved.

“Thank you, Jason,” she murmured.

“I’m not joking, nor am I comforting you,” Jason said as he gently rubbed his lips against Grace’s cheek. “Even if you have scars on your skin, you’re still beautiful enough to make me want to seize all of you. I even want to lock you up on an isolated island where I’m the only one who can see you. That way, I don’t have to worry about people taking you away from me.”

Grace could not help but laugh. “Who would want to take me away?”

He pressed his lips together but made no reply. She never knew how appealing she was. She had a special temperament that made people feel comfortable just by being around her. One would be satisfied just by looking at her calm smile.

That could be a fatal attraction for some people.

Brian was probably attracted by that too.

Brian was still attracted to her, even though he insisted that she was not the one he was looking for.

In the end, Grace settled on a designer whose work had at conservative, vintage look and suited her needs.

Jason had no problem with that either.

“By the way, will your grandfather approve of our marriage? What if he doesn’t agree?” asked Grace with some trepidation.

“He won’t consent to it, but it’s our marriage, so it doesn’t matter whether he agrees,” answered Jason.

“He’s still your grandfather, and if he doesn’t agree, then you…”

“It doesn’t mean anything to me,” he interrupted her and said, “Whether the old man agrees, I’ll still marry you. I don’t think I’ll be happy if he agrees or sad if he doesn’t.”

Grace stared at Jason, shocked by his words.

“Do you find it hard to understand?” asked Jason.

“Isn’t he… Your grandfather?” she asked in a mutter.

“He’s my grandfather, but we don’t have the so-called affection. for each other. He has always hated the part in me that carries my mother’s blood and genes. What he wants is just an heir of the

Reed family. If I’m not strong enough, he’ll easily give me up and choose another heir who he thinks can carry forward the Reed family.”

Jason said it as if he was talking about someone else’s business as an onlooker.

Grace had met Old Master Reed once, but she did not have a good impression of Old Master Reed. She almost got disfigured that time! If Jason had not come in time to save her, she might still be in the hospital right now!

However, she did not expect Jason and Old Master Reed to have such a relationship.

When he was young, his mother left and disappeared, and his father died. He was alone in Reed Residence where his only. relative there was Old Master Reed who simply regarded him as a successor who could be replaced at any time.

She could almost imagine how frightened the little boy felt back. then when he stayed in this house. He was all alone. Even thought he had family, he did not receive any affection and had to worry that he would be replaced by someone else.

Only by getting stronger could he not have the possibility of being

‘weak’.

This was because ‘weak’ meant he was likely to be abandoned.

“Was it… Hard?” Grace asked in a mutter, feeling sorry for the man in front of her.

Previously when she heard people talking about him, she just felt that such a superior man could have anything he wanted and could easily manipulate funds. Basically, he was a winner in life.

However, now she realized that there was no such thing as a winner in life. The more glorious he was now, the harder he had worked for it back then.

At an early age, he was burdened with far more than a child should bear.

“It’s all right,” replied Jason, his long fingers gently brushing past her caring almond-shaped eyes.

Her eyes were now full

“It’s all over now. At least now I don’t have to worry about anyone replacing me at will,” said Jason. He controlled his own fate now.

“Yes, it’s all over,” said Grace, gently pressing his hand and rubbing her cheek against it. “As far as I’m concerned, you can never be replaced.”

His Grace always seemed to make him want to cherish her more.

“Then never forget what you said,” he whispered and bent down, kissing her lips lightly.
