‘Does he not believe… me when I explained it to him yesterday?
‘Or does he simply not believe in my love?’
“Does it matter?” He lowered his head, and their eyes met.
His eyes were so deep that she could not see them clearly.
She immediately felt her heart throb with pain. ‘Was my explanation yesterday as well as my fears and resolutions not important to him at all?’
“All right, let’s call it a day,” he said, taking her by the hand and leading her into the kitchen.
On a counter in the kitchen was a cake with most of the piping done.
“Does it look good? Your birthday cake will be ready in a little while. If you don’t want to eat breakfast, you can have lunch with me later,” he said with a chuckle.
It was the same tone of voice and the same smile. Everything looked the same as usual.
It was as if their previous quarrel and doubts had never existed!
‘Is this what he means by calling it a day?’
Grace stared blankly at the half-done cake in front of her. Just earlier, she thought she would be full of joy when she saw the cake.
However, now she found her nose somewhat sore.
‘Call it a day… If we’re just going to call it a day, there’ll always be a misunderstanding between him and me.
‘I must make it clear no matter what!’
“Jason, Brian and I really-”
However, before she had finished speaking, his lips pressed hard against hers and silenced all her voice.
He sucked on her lips, ravishing all the sweetness in her mouth until he bit her upper lip with a punitive bite in the end.
“Haven’t I told you not to speak of the thing between you and him? I don’t care what happened between you two. I just want you to stay by my side from now on.”
Grace found her lips burning but felt somewhat cold.
‘So… he doesn’t care for my explanations and doesn’t believe me. Does he only want me to stay with him?’
“Don’t you care even if I tell you
I’ve restored my memory and that I remember what happened to me and
Brian when we were children?” The words escaped her mouth just like that.
The next moment, the surrounding air seemed to have frozen all of a sudden.
His pupils constricted instantly. The expression on his face changed. “You…
remember?” There was a faint trill in his voice.
“Yes, I remember,” she said.
His face suddenly turned pale, and her face was reflected in his dark pupils.
It turned out she had already remembered everything between her and Brian. It was ridiculous that everything he had done was just a futile effort.
“Haha… Haha… Hahaha… You remember!” Jason burst out laughing.
His laugh made her uneasy. Such laughter seemed to suppress something or to vent something, giving people mixed feelings.
“Jason, stop laughing,” shouted Grace.
His laugh stopped abruptly as his S**y thin lips curled up. It was not like when he laughed earlier, but the smile seemed to be able to attract everyone. “Now that you know you’re the one, when are you going to tell him? Or… are you going to find him to relive your childhood memories?”
“It’s not what you think. Yes, I fell off a cliff yesterday, and when he grabbed my hand, I restored my memory, but I…”
“Is that… when you restored your memory? Well, Grace, are you going to betray me for Brian?” His lips were smiling, but his eyes were staring at her gloomily.
She looked at him in shock. “You think I’d betray you?”
“I don’t know, so you’ll have to tell me!”
he said, his voice so cold.
Grace only felt as if her heart was getting heavier and heavier… Then, it kept falling!
“Jason, have you ever believed me?” She tried to widen her almond-shaped eyes to see every expression on his face!
‘If he believes me, he would believe what
I said to him in his father’s mourning hall that day, that I’d never betray him!
‘If he believes me, he’ll believe that he’s the one I love!”
‘If he believes me, he wouldn’t have hidden Grandma’s bracelet to deliberately hide the truth.
‘However… he doesn’t believe me…!
Grace only felt as though she was now soaking in ice water.
Jason pursed his thin lips. He told himself to trust her, but when he saw Brian appearing with her on his back like that and when she went to the hospital again and again to restore her memory without telling him, he did not know how much more he could trust her.
What a terrible feeling!
Her voice once again rang. “If you can’t even believe me, how are we going to proceed with our relationship? Brian-”
“That’s enough! I told you to stop!” His hands seized her by the neck, choking her to cut off her voice. “Does Brian believe you? So you can proceed with
Brian instead?”
‘Brian, Brian… Is Brian like an imprint in her heart that I can never erase?’
Even though he had tried again and again to erase Brian from her heart, he still failed.
Her thin neck was in his five fingers, and he could have snapped it with the slightest effort… However, his hand could not help shaking.
It was shaking so much…
If others had angered him, he would not hesitate to strike. However, when it was her, it was as if hurting her the slightest would make him feel pain!
“Jason, do you know what cowardice is? It’s when you hate someone, but you can’t even bear to hurt them in the end.”
His father’s voice rang in his ear again!
‘Yes, I can’t bear it! I can’t bear it!’
Even though she kept talking about Brian, he still did not want to hurt her!
He thought he was in charge of everything, but in the end, she was!
She was in charge of his joys and sorrows, even his life and… future!
‘If this goes on, will I follow in my father’s footsteps?
‘Since I can’t cut her off from Brian, will she go to Brian one day?
‘I won’t follow in my father’s footsteps! Surely not!
‘If loving someone is so painful, then I…
won’t love them!’
The fingers around Grace’s neck came loose, and Grace fell almost awkwardly to the floor while coughing furiously. For a moment, she only felt as if he had lost control of his temper.
“Jay…” she spoke in a slightly hoarse voice with some difficulty.
However, his voice that sounded at the next moment chilled her to the bone. She even wondered if she had heard him wrong!
“Let’s break up,” his cold voice said something that seemed to make her blood freeze.
“Break up?” Grace was stunned and looked up at the man in front of her.
“Yeah, I’m tired.” He looked at her calmly, completely different from earlier.
What remained in those eyes that once looked at her gently was now deep and bottomless darkness.
It was as if… his world had abandoned her completely and would not allow her to come any closer.
“You’re… tired?” she muttered, merely repeating whatever he said.
