Grace’s face immediately turned red. ‘No way. I… never changed position after falling asleep?”

“Were you watching me after I fell asleep yesterday?” he asked.

Her face immediately turned redder. ‘Come on, how am I going to answer that?’

Jason smiled and looked at Grace with an enchanting look in his eyes. “So, you really were watching me?”

“Not all throughout, just for a while…” Halfway through the sentence, she stopped immediately. ‘God, am I stupid? I can’t believe I said that. Isn’t that admitting that I was indeed watching him?”

Sure enough, after she said that, the enchanting gleam in his eyes seemed to grow stronger.

Uneasily, she continued to eat her porridge. Once she finished. the porridge in her bowl, she said, “Don’t you have to go to work?”

After all, he was the president of Reed Group! Was it a good idea for him to stay here with her like this? She did not seem to have seen him leave the mansion.

He said, “I can handle the company here too. If I said I’ll stay here with you until you fall in love with me, I will.”

She bit her lip slightly. “Keeping me here won’t make any difference.”

“There’s a difference. At least, you’re not rejecting me as much as you did at the beginning, right?” he said.

She was stunned.

“In fact… it’s not that you can’t love me anymore. It’s just that you’re afraid I’ll hurt you again, right?” Jason asked softly.

She had a feeling that he had seen through her. Perhaps it was like what he said. She was afraid. She was so afraid that she dared not love again.

“Grace, I won’t hurt you again!” Jason restrained the charm in his eyes, leaving only seriousness.

Slowly rising to his feet, he walked over to her while his eyes stared at her almond-shaped eyes. “You don’t believe me?”

She said, “Nobody can guarantee this sort of thing.”

“I’ll make a vow if you still don’t believe me.”

“There’s no need to…”

Before she could speak, he lowered himself and knelt on one knee in front of her. His face was solemn, grave, and showed commitment. “I, Jason, swear that if I ever hurt you in the future, I’ll make it up to you by tenfold. If I make you cry, then the pain will hurt my bones and burn my heart.”

Her eyes were full of shock. She never expected him to kneel in front of her like this, not to mention saying such things!

She looked down at him blankly. He lowered his eyes, looked down, and murmured, “You know what? I heard that in some tribes with ancient customs, if one kisses the instep of another, then it’s a sign of submission. It means you’re willing to give them your loyalty and soul.”

Her eyes widened, and his voice sounded far away yet close to her ears.

‘What is he talking about?

‘What is he going to do?’

Her heart was pounding uncontrollably. Then, she saw him gently removing the slipper from her right foot, almost in an alarming manner, before placing his lips to her instep.

“Grace, I love you, so I can give you everything I have.”

His voice, like the crooning of a cello, rang in her ears with determination.

Her mind went blank!

She never expected Jason to do such a thing!

When had a proud man like him done such a thing?

However, it was because of this she… was extremely at a loss. He seemed to disrupt her calmness and persistence.

It might not be hard to fall in love with him again.

After all, he was attractive to women, and who could insist on not loving a man who would love a woman with all their heart?

All this time, she could only remind herself to forget how it felt to love him, to let go of the broken relationship and not love him. Then there would be no more pain.

However, now…

What was going to happen between her and Jason?

Grace walked to the edge of the lotus pond. Grace was still worried as she looked at the lotus flowers in the pond. Just then, there were footsteps behind her.

‘Is Jason here?’ She thought to herself. The feeling of not knowing what to do came back. It was as if she did not know how to face him.

However, when she heard the person behind her calling her name, she was stunned. She quickly turned around and looked at the person behind her in disbelief.

It was not Jason, it was… Brian!

He was dressed in a black shirt and trousers, quickly walking over to her.

“What are you… doing here?” Grace looked at Brian in surprise. She noticed that he had lost some weight when he got closer.

His right hand was still bandaged. Grace recalled how Jason had broken Brian’s hand before taking her away. “How’s your hand?”

He said lightly, “It’s fine. It’s just a minor injury. This place was hard to find, though. It wasn’t until yesterday when Dr. Russell was brought here that we finally got some clues.”

Speaking of which, worry appeared in Brian’s eyes again. “Did he give you a hard time after taking you here?”

“No,” said Grace as she shook her head. However, her expression changed slightly after thinking of the time she had spent with Jason these days.

Brian was uneasy when he saw this. It was as if the possi he did not want to think about was gradually becoming a reality.

Suddenly tugging Grace’s hand with his left hand, Brian said, “I’ll take you away now. This mansion has high-level security everywhere. I had someone hack into the system and temporarily shut down some of the security functions, but it won’t take long before everything goes back to normal, so let’s hurry up!”

She was startled. “Take me away?”

His phoenix eyes stared at her. “Don’t you want to leave?”

Somehow, Grace’s mind flashed back to the moment last night when Jason knelt in front of her, kissed her instep, and made a vow.

At that moment, she knew she had fallen for him again. She had fallen for that man. Even if she had been severely hurt by the man, she could not help reconsidering. ‘Can we… really be happy if we get back together?

‘Will he believe and love me as he said he would and never hurt me again?’

Brian’s eyes noticed all her hesitation. He suddenly felt his heart sinking. ‘Is she and Jason…

Brian said, “Grace, if we don’t leave soon, the security system.

will go back to normal and we probably won’t be able to leave! Do you want Jason to keep you here? I’ll take you away first!”

‘But if I go out with Brian like this, then… Grace took a deep breath and looked at Brian as she said, “I appreciate that you’ve been looking for me all these days and that you went to so much trouble to get me out of here, but there are things I want to take care of myself!”

C “There’s not enough time! Wait till we get out! just because I sneaked in once doesn’t mean I can sneak in a second time,”

said Brian.

After all, this was the Reed family’s private territory, and some things were beyond his control.

“If you really have something you want to solve by yourself, you can solve it after you go out. I won’t let Jason have another chance to lock you up like this!” said Brian as he whisked Grace straight in the direction of the exit.

He did not want her to stay here any longer. It was as if he would lose this woman if he left without her this time!

She was the woman he had fallen in love with for the first time!

He was selfish and cowardly. He dared not gamble that she could solve the problem by herself and whether she would be with Jason or not.

After all, she and Jason were in love once!

Grace staggered along with Brian almost pa**ively. “Brian, listen to me. I really–”
