He was sensitive and never really believed in anything.
However, he wanted to believe what she said-That she would not fail him and that she would not let him down!
She hid the incident between her and Brian from him, but… He would believe her again. He would believe her again.
He would believe what she said and believe that there was nothing between her and Brian! He would also believe that he would not follow in his father’s footsteps!
He leaned forward and put his lips to hers.
It was not as soft as when she kissed him, but it was domineering. It was so domineering as if he wanted to take away all the sweetness in her.
nineering, it had an endless gentleness.
The gentleness was only for her!
By the time the kiss was over, Grace was barely able to stand and her face was red.
“What’s the matter? Do you want more?” He looked at her with a wide smile.
Her face immediately became redder.
She quickly changed the subject and said, “Did you learn to pipe before? You seem to be moving fluently.”
He could see her intention, but he just went with it. “No, I just learned it today, but it’s pretty interesting.”
Grace was rendered speechless. ‘All right, I have to admit that he’s a genius, shrewd, and fierce not only when it comes to business but also when making cakes!
“Piping is not that hard. It’s pretty easy,” said Jason.
‘Easy?’ Grace was a bit skeptical. After all, what he just piped was a rose, not a regular cream flower where you just needed to squeeze the cream out.
“Why don’t I teach you and let you try?” He suggested.
She was a little excited to try it as they had the tools, butter, and everything in the kitchen. They did not need to prepare anything else.
Therefore, Jason demonstrated for Grace again in slow motion. He slowed down every move so that Grace could see it all clearly.
It was not complicated. Jason also explained the key points clearly, and it was easy to understand.
However, knowing how to do it was one thing while actually doing it was another.
At the very least, Grace found her hands completely unguided by her consciousness.
When she was done piping a rose, it did not look like a rose at all. It only looked like a lump of cream.
“It seems… Never mind. I can’t do it.” She smiled awkwardly, put down the tools in her hands, and unconsciously tried to put her hands behind her back.
For a moment, she had forgotten that her hands were not suitable for such intricate work. Her joints were bent and she could not control the strength of her fingers.
Grace was about to make an excuse to leave the kitchen when he suddenly reached out and pulled her hands which she had hidden behind her back.
Her hands were in his. Their small and large hands stood out in contrast.
His hands were beautiful, from the shape of the fingers, length, to the joints and nails-They all looked so beautiful.
On the contrary, some joints of her hand looked a little unnatural, and two joints were particularly prominent. They looked just like hands that had done laborious work for many years. If one were to look closely, they could see some scars on the skin of her hands…
Hands like that seemed very ugly when it was next to his.
“What’s the matter? Holding my hand like that…” Grace bit her lip slightly and tried to pull her hand back.
However, he stopped her. “From now on, anything you can’t do with your hands, I’ll do for you.”
She was shocked, and then after seeing the guilt on his face, she seemed to realize something. She smiled gently and said,
“It has nothing to do with you that my hands are faulty. You don’t need to feel guilty.”
He looked at the smile on her face with a mixed look in his eyes. Grace was probably smiling like that to make him feel less guilty.
However, her words ‘it has nothing to do with you’ was like a knife that struck him hard in the heart.
‘How could the things that happened to her have nothing to do with me?
‘If it had not been for my acquiescence, perhaps her hands would still be intact.
‘I’ll probably carry this guilt with me my whole life!’
“I’ll certainly seek the best doctor and cure your hand thoroughly,” he said, promising her.
“All right,” replied Grace. She did not expect her hand to be completely cured. She just did not want him to feel guilty anymore.
Besides, after the treatments and medication during this time, her hand was much better than when she just got out of prison. At least now there was less pain.
He lowered his head and kissed her fingers deeply. He kissed the deformed joints and the places where there were scars.
The scattered kisses seemed to warm her heart.
Grace stared at the man in front of her. She thought it would be the greatest joy for her to be loved by him all her life.
“What?” Lily stared at her agent in disbelief, almost feeling that she had just heard something wrong.
Her manager said with a reluctant face, “Well… Now they’re demanding to drop several commercial deals that we’ve negotiated, even if they have to pay the damages for breach of contract. That TV show you starred in that was going to be on TV has also been canceled. It might not even be released online.”
“How can it be?” Lily’s face took on a ghastly expression.
“I asked the two films you were interested in working with today, and they told me that you won’t be considered for the current cast.
“Besides that, all those TV dramas and commercials you starred in before are now gone.
“It’s now impossible to find any film or television works related to you on the internet. All of them are deleted. Even the relevant videos of your variety show episodes are gone.”
Bad news after bad news from her manager made Lily’s face grow paler and paler.
“What the hell is going on? How did this happen?” barked Lily.
There was nothing gentle and noble in her face, unlike how she usually looked when she was putting on a pretense. There was only ferociousness.
“Someone wants to blacklist you in the entertainment industry, which is why…” stammered the manager.
“Blacklist?” Lily felt as if she had just heard a joke. She was the second daughter of the Atkinson family and also the Stevens family’s future daughter-in-law. With the Atkinson family and Stevens family backing her up, who dared to blacklist her?
“Who is it? Who’s blacklisting me?” she asked bitterly.
However, when she heard the name from her manager’s mouth, her face paled.
Jason!
The one who wanted to blacklist her was Jason!
Jason had never been interested in the entertainment industry. He had never picked on any celebrity in the entertainment industry before, and now… This was the first time he did so!
As for the reason… Lily’s mind went back to the time at the fair when she humbly apologized to Grace and asked for forgiveness, but Grace refused.
Later, Jason even said, ‘If she won’t forgive you, then no.’
She suspected Jason would do something later on, but she did not expect him to blacklist her in the entertainment industry.
She was almost Jason’s sister-in-law in name!
Even though Jason never loved her sister, the Reed family and the Atkinson family were somehow related to each other from an outsider’s perspective.
If word got around that she was blacklisted by Jason, then she would be embarra**ed in front of everyone and become a joke in high society!
‘Is Jason… Going to go that far for Grace?’
Lily’s eyes glinted with hatred. However, before doing anything else, she had to solve this immediately.
Therefore, Lily hurried back to the Atkinson family’s house and told her parents about it.
Her father, Harold, frowned and fell silent while her mother,
Camelia Meyer, was unwilling to see her daughter suffer such a problem. She immediately jumped up. “Jason is way out of line. He tore down our shopping mall and now he’s trying to destroy Lily’s career?”
Camelia Meyer got more and more infuriated as she spoke.
She was ready to take her bag and talk some sense into Jason.
Lily quickly stopped her mother, knowing that her mother was impulsive. The only person in her family who could solve her problems was her father.
“Now Jason is at the peak of his interest in Grace. He’s just angry that I vilified Grace and did something against Grace when she was in prison, so now he’s standing up for her.”
Lily said aggrievedly, “I’m willing to apologize to Grace. I even apologized in person. I… Can take responsibility for the wrong I’ve done, but I really don’t want my career that I’ve worked so hard for to be ruined just like that.”
