Only when the kiss was over did Grace veer back to the earlier. question. “Do we just ignore your grandfather? Why don’t I… Go see him?”
As she said this, her body trembled a little. It was false to say that she did not fear the old man. After all, their last encounter was truly frightening.
“It’s all right. I told you, I’ll marry you whether he agrees to it or not. If you meet him and he still doesn’t agree with our marriage, will you not marry me?” said Jason.
Grace thought about it seriously and said, “No. As long as you’ll have me, I’ll marry you!”
“Therefore you don’t have to care about whether he agrees or not. I’ll marry you and you’ll marry me,” he said, not wanting her to see the old man.
It was because he was not sure what the old man would say.
It would be better if she was left in the dark about some things.
Two days later, Grace and Lina Sweeney went to the bridal shop to meet the designer Grace had appointed in person.
She was Chinese, so they did not have much problem communicating.
The designer picked out a few wedding dresses that would suit Grace and asked Grace to try them on to get a feel for things.
before talking about the design.
Grace walked into the changing room with the wedding dresses in hand while Lina Sweeney went in to help.
In the lounge outside the changing room, Jason and Hadwin Stephenson sat in silence.
Hadwin Stephenson looked at Jason who was in front of him. To be honest, he was quite surprised that Jason was getting married to Grace so soon.
“I recently heard that you’re helping Miss Cummins to reverse her case.” Hadwin Stephenson took the initiative to speak, trying to find a topic of conversation with Jason.
“You’re well informed,” said Jason as he raised his eyes to look at Hadwin Stephenson.
“Well, that’s mainly because Lina is concerned about Miss. Cummins’s case, so I’m paying more attention to this matter. However, I heard that in the appeal filed by the law firm you appointed, the culprit of this case was Dexter Rios?”
Jason narrowed his eyes slightly and did not make a sound. His amorous eyes only looked at him with a cold glimmer in them.
“I’ve also looked into Miss Cummins’s case. Although Dexter Rios may indeed have tried to avoid responsibility by blaming Miss
Cummins, why didn’t the Atkinson family suspect anything when Dexter Rios resigned so soon after the sentence was handed down?” said Hadwin Stephenson.
Jason asked coldly, “What are you trying to say?”
“I just think there seems to be something wrong with the Atkinson. family,” Hadwin Stephenson said with a smile. “The Atkinson family seemed to be in a hurry to convict Grace. All kinds of news. media and public opinion were intentionally or unintentionally forcing the case to be sentenced as soon as possible. It took far less time than a normal case would have taken to proceed from prosecution to sentencing.”
Jason’s thin lips were drawn almost in a straight line.
Hadwin Stephenson only continued, “Of course, it can also be said to be a special case. The impact of the case was so great that it may have taken less time. However, now that it can be proved that Miss Cummins was wronged at the beginning, it’s doubtful whether the Atkinson family knew about it or not.”
Jason said coldly, “Thank you so much for your concern for Grace, President Stephenson. The law will tell us what happened with the case and what the truth is. The police will check whether there’s something wrong with the Atkinson family, and I’ll get payback for all of Grace’s sufferings.”
“That would be best,” said Hadwin Stephenson. If Grace’s case was successfully reversed and the real culprit behind it could be. found, then Lina would probably be relieved and would not have. to worry about Grace’s case all day.
Thinking of Lina Sweeney’s concern for Grace, Hadwin Stephenson could not help but feel a touch of jealousy. Althought this was ‘friendship, their friendship was… Lina Sweeney, in particular, liked to read comics and novels about men falling in love with each other. It had imparted the idea that love was genderless to him.
If it were not for how her eyes lit up every time she saw a male idol, he might have suspected her of having an affair with Grace!
Just then, the long curtain at the changing room was pulled open by the staff and Grace and Lina Sweeney stepped out.
Not only had Grace changed her dress, but even Lina Sweeney changed into a bridesmaid dress.
Jason stared at her in the white wedding dress.
The dress was conservative with a high neckline and long sleeves, but the sleeves were made of lace. It effectively covered the shallow scars on her arms. The waistline was high and fitting while the hemline was spread out.
Her hair was not tied up as it usually was, and the tiara-shaped headwear on her head looked dreamy as well as beautiful. She looked just like a pure angel standing there quietly, looking at him with a smile…
‘Angel…’ Jason’s eyelashes quivered a little. Maybe she was like an angel to him.
She saved him from the abyss when he was so numb that he did.
not know what the meaning of survival was.
Without her, he would only be living a meaningless life.
“What do you think, Jay?” asked Grace. She looked at herself in the mirror after trying it on and just did not feel like herself.
Although it was not the official wedding dress, it was so beautiful that it made her sigh. Maybe every girl had an obsession with wedding dresses.
She remembered seeing a bride wearing a wedding dress as a child and thought that her dress was beautiful. Then, she wondered when she would be able to wear such a dress and if a fairytale prince would come to hold her hand.
Now… She had really met her prince!
Grace looked at Jason as he approached her. He was wearing a crisp suit that outlined his tall, lean body. His broad shoulders, narrow waist, and long legs made him look good in anything. Event the simplest clothes would look good on him.
His defined face and delicate features made people find him.
good-looking.
“Beautiful,” those S**y thin lips whispered.
“I think it’s beautiful too,” said Grace.
“I’m not talking about the dress. I’m talking about you,” said
Jason.
Grace’s face suddenly turned red. Was he… Sweet talking? She used to think that men who sweet-talked were frivolous.
However, when the words came out of his mouth, it made people blush.
“You know what? You look so pure and innocent right now. It’s as if you’re going to arouse human’s deepest desires.” He bent down, moved his lips close to her ear, and said in a voice that only the two of them could hear, “I want to rob you of everything and keep you stuck by my side.”
‘I… Even want to break your wings so that you can’t go anywhere.’
Grace only felt as if her heart was about to leap from her throat. It was clearly a tyrannical statement, but somehow, she felt a gush of sweetness in her heart.
Maybe… She was already stuck by his side because she loved him!
On the other hand, Hadwin Stephenson frowned and looked at the bridesmaid dress Lina Sweeney was wearing.
“What’s the matter? Isn’t it nice?” Lina Sweeney even turned around in front of Hadwin Stephenson. She thought the dress looked good. She was even going to tell the designer to just adjust some details before she chose it to be her official bridesmaid dress.
“It’s too revealing,” said Hadwin Stephenson. He found the dress offensive to the eye, especially at the thought of her wearing it to the wedding dinner as the maid of honor.
“Revealing?” Lina Sweeney looked at her dress. It was an off-shoulder dress with the shoulders exposed and the skirt was short at the front while long at the back. The short part ended at the knees while the long part ended at the ankles.
Due to how well the bust of the dress was positioned, it lifted her cup a notch, and at the same time, the waistline was positioned just right.
In short, it gave the wearer the appearance of having larger breasts and a smaller waist.
These were the effects women dreamt of!
Lina Sweeney raised her chest with her hands and said to Hadwin Stephenson, “Don’t you think I look S**y dressed like this? My figure looks a lot better.”
Hadwin Stephenson was suddenly speechless. Was she… Still at woman? She was talking about looking ‘S**y’ in his presence! Did she not see him as a man at all?
Even if they were now boyfriend and girlfriend, in her heart, she did not see him as her boyfriend at all!
He was probably nothing more than a vengeful debt collector to her!
