‘It’s… a little too much.’
“Why did you… bring so many people?” muttered Grace. ‘No wonder he could barge into Brian’s mansion like that.’
Jason dragged Grace into the car without saying a word. Then, he said sternly to his men, “No one is allowed to come over!”
When the car door closed with a bang, Grace and Jason were the only ones in the car.
The backseat of the car was more spacious than regular cars, and
Orace sat on her side with her back pressed against the side door
Jason pressed his hands on both sides of Grace’s body, and his face was full of gloom. “You’re so worried about Brian that you said those words on purpose for fear that he would still set his heart on you. You even made me put on a show in front of him with you.”
Since when was he reduced to putting on a show with someone?
Grace bit her lip slightly. She knew she could not hide her intentions from Jason and said, “Sorry.” She apologized.
He sneered. “Sorry? Grace, aren’t you a lawyer? Don’t you hate lies the most? But you keep lying. Do you know how I felt when you kissed me?”
The first time she kissed him after they got married was because of Brian. How… ridiculous and pathetic!
The cold, angry look on his face made her shudder slightly. He had always been calm to her in the following days after their marriage. Never had he been so furious!
“I’m so sorry. I just wanted Brian to stop being in love with me. I hope he’ll let go of this obsession,” said Grace. Her almond-shaped eyes looked up and did not avoid Jason’s gaze.
“But I didn’t lie.”
“Didn’t lie?” He sneered. “If you didn’t lie, does that mean you still have me in your heart? Do you still love me? You never got over me, have you?”
“Yes,” she replied.
The sarcasm at the corners of his lips grew thicker. “Then why don’t you prove to me that you have me in your heart, that you love me, and that you never got over me? What do you think?”
Grace stared blankly at the man in front of her. What Brian said after taking her to the mansion made her realize she had always been in love with the man in front of her.
Even after Brian talked about missing and never missing, she figured she would still fall in love with Jason regardless.
What she felt for Brian was limited to their childhood friendship and gratitude for saving her life. She was also touched, but… it was not love.
She was willing to swear to stay with Jay for the rest of her life. It was not just for the children but probably for herself too.
If she did not love him, then maybe she would not have any expectations for her future marriage and would not have firmly said that she had never fallen for Brian when he asked her those ‘what ifs.
What woman would not fall for a man like Brian who would even give his life to save theirs?
The only reason she did not fall for him was that another man had already occupied her heart.
Grace raised her hand and gently held Jason’s face. The look in her eyes seemed like she had made up her mind. Her head slightly closed in the space between them, and she pressed her lips on his.
It was different from the kiss they had performed in front of Brian. This kiss was more lingering and gentle. It was as if she wanted to smooth his anger with the kiss.
He trembled with shock on his face.
She closed her eyes while her hands gradually wrapped around his neck, drawing the distance between them closer.
The kiss went on for so long that he fell into a trance. He only felt a sense of loss when her lips left his.
It was as if… it was not enough. It was as if… he wanted her to kiss him longer.
“Jay, I do want you.” Her voice rang gently in his ears. “You once said I shouldn’t touch you if I’m not attracted to you. So now that I’ve touched you, it means I’m attracted to you.”
He stared at her, and his voice seemed to squeeze through his throat. “Do you… really want me?”
“Have I not made it obvious by now?” she asked. ‘If I weren’t pregnant right now, um… I guess I could make it a little more obvious.’
He pressed his thin lips together. Then, he closed his eyes as if he was thinking about something.
It was moments later when he opened his eyes again. His gaze was like a net that caught her. Then, his lips immediately fell upon hers. He kissed her hard as his hoarse voice escaped from his lips. “Grace, don’t lie to me…”
Kyla Corbyn called Grace at night and asked her how she was doing. After all, she had been feeling a little worried since Grace was taken away by Brian during the day.

Aya Corbyn hesitated for a moment before saying, “Nelson’s fine. He misses you too. Alright, I gotta go back to work. I have customters here. I’ll talk to you next time.”
Kyla Corbyn said, quickly ending the phone call and putting away her phone. However, there were no new customers at her food stall at all.
She smiled wryly as she lowered her head. She just did not know how to tell Grace. There had been so much going on these days. Grace was pregnant, and she did not want her friend to worry about her.
Even though Kyla Corbyn had heard the bodyguard calling Jason to report the incident and knew that with Jason’s ability, he would bring Grace back safely, she still had to hear it from Grace herself before she could feel at ease.
“I’m fine, Kyla. Don’t worry,” said Grace.
“That’s good.” Kyla Corbyn breathed a sigh of relief.
“By the way, how’s Nelson? I’ll come and visit him next time I’m free,” said Grace. It had been a long time since she visited the little one.
