Before he could finish, Grace interrupted him, “There will never be such a day. Even if there’s any conflict or misunderstanding between us in the future, I’ll try to resolve it. Brian, I love Jason, so I’m very blessed and happy to be with him!”
Brian instantly shuddered and turned pale. “You… love him?” Every word felt difficult and heavy when he spat them out of his mouth.
Grace said, “Yes, I love him. Having been through so much, I now know a lot more about myself. I love Jay, and I want to grow old with him.”
His face seemed to lose its color. It was as if her words had extinguished the last bit of hope in his heart.
“Brian, the past is all in the past. I hope you won’t be trapped by it. You’ve fulfilled your promise to that little girl. She saved you once, and you gave your life to save her. You owe her nothing now!” said Grace. Her melodious voice was unhurried and calm. It was as if she was narrating something calmly.
‘Owe her nothing…! He smiled bitterly. Then why did his chest feel so heavy when he heard this?
Grace said to Huang Qian, the bodyguard next to her, “Let’s go.”‘ With that, she walked straight to the other side while Brian still stood there, his phoenix eyes following Grace’s figure closely.
Even though the figure was already out of his sight, he was still looking in the direction she left.
Patrick, who was nearby, sighed. Who would have thought that Brian, who used to change girlfriends frequently, would be this way once he was love-struck?
Things might have been easier if it were a different woman, but the woman was the one Jason was attracted to and she was now even married to Jason. As such, Brian’s feelings were doomed to be fruitless.
Patrick patted his best friend on the shoulder and consoled him, saying, “There’s plenty of fish in the sea. Maybe once you get over Grace, you’ll find-”
“Patrick, have you ever been in love?” Brian asked abruptly.
Patrick was instantly stunned. He then heard Brian saying, “If you’ve ever been in love, you’ll know that no matter how many women there are in the world, there’ll only be one woman who has caught your attention and heart. You’ll never want anyone else except her.”
‘You’ll never be attracted to other women and fall for other women as well.
‘I’ve spent all my feelings on one woman during my years of searching that I can’t take them back.
‘How could I ever fall for another woman?’
His love was already over when he found out the truth!
Jason was already at home when Grace returned to Reed
Residence.
“Why are you home early today?” she asked in confusion.
“I finished work early and came home,” he said. He pulled her onto the couch as he spoke. He lifted her feet and gave her a gentle ma**age.
Grace enjoyed the ma**age from her husband.
She had some swelling on her legs and feet these days, but it was not that bad. However, she heard it would get worse when she was further along.
Therefore, he ma**aged her legs and feet at home according to the ma**age techniques taught by the specialist in the hospital’s pregnancy course.
She would really feel quite comfortable after the ma**age, so he would ma**age her a few times every day.
“Did you go to the hospital to see Lina today?” asked Jason.
J/ J
Grace said, “Yeah. The doctor said Lina would wake up soon. I wonder if Lina will be able to see Hadwin Stephenson when she wakes up. By the way, have your men been able to get in touch with Hadwin Stephenson yet?”
Jason hesitated a little. “What if Hadwin Stephenson has changed? Do you still want Lina to see him when she wakes up?”
Grace was stunned and asked in confusion, “What do you mean? Hadwin Stephenson has changed? In what way?”
Jason said, “The Jackson family and Hadwin Stephenson are probably going to take on the Stephenson family’s first wife soon. I’m afraid it’s time for them to reap their harvest. My men have tried to contact Hadwin Stephenson, but… Hadwin Stephenson doesn’t seem to want to get in touch with the outside world. I suppose he d
“You mean Hadwin Stephenson refused to get in touch with your men?” Grace asked in astonishment.
“Yes, and you might see him on the news in a few days. He would regain control of the Stephenson family, but with the Jackson family’s help,” said Jason.
He wanted to wait until he found out what Hadwin Stephenson had to do with the Jackson family’s real heiress before telling her.
However, it was clear that Hadwin Stephenson and the Jackson family were working faster than he expected.
Of course, it was also thanks to the stupidity of the Stephenson family’s first wife. She did so many things after Hadwin Stephenson’s disappearance and lost favor. Of course, it would lead to her downfall.
Grace urged him, saying, “You still haven’t said what has changed with Hadwin Stephenson. It should be a good thing if Hadwin Stephenson can regain control of the Stephenson family. He probably had to do so even though he had the Jackson family’s help. Elizabeth Jackson from the Jackson family might have tampered with Lina’s car and caused us to almost have an accident, but Lina should be able to understand.”
“What if Hadwin Stephenson has gotten together with another woman?” asked Jason. After all, even if he did not tell her now, she would probably learn about it once Hadwin Stephenson appeared in public.
“What?” Grace stared at Jason with wide eyes. “Did he… have a change of heart?”
“It’s just a possibility. Maybe he’s faking it just to use the Jackson family. However… No matter what, I think it would be better not to tell Lina about Hadwin Stephenson when she wakes up, lest she gets upset. Let’s tell her after we figure everything out.”
Grace nodded but felt restless.
‘If Hadwin Stephenson has had a change of heart, then…
what should Lina do?’ Grace’s face darkened, and her brows furrowed at the thought.
“Alright, don’t overthink it. Hadwin Stephenson having a change of heart is just the worst-case scenario. Besides, didn’t you tell me Hadwin Stephenson loves Lina very much?” said
Jason.
“Yeah, he… loves Lina very much!” Grace let out a long breath.
As if seeking comfort, she asked Jason, “So he won’t betray Lina, will he?”
Jason caressed Grace’s furrowed brows. “I wouldn’t if it were me.”
Grace was silent. She knew what he meant. After all, it was hard to say whether Hadwin Stephenson would have a change of heart as they were not Hadwin Stephenson himself.
The topic seemed to come to an end, and Jason continued to ma**age Grace’s feet.
