“I know. He didn’t believe that someone being so deeply in love will do them any good. Because of what happened with your great-grandfather and your great-grandmother as well as your father, he… was afraid that you’d end up in an unfortunate situation too,” said Grace.
When he first took her to the Reed family’s old manor, she had been deeply impressed by the story he told her about the long blood-stained sword.
When she learned that it was the story of his great-grandfather and great-grandmother, the shock remained in her heart until now.
His great-grandmother had killed his great-grandfather and raised his grandfather in the old manor by herself.
Grace could almost imagine that growing up in such an environment, Old Master Reed probably had no expectations for love but only fear.
Maybe… Old Master Reed had never loved anyone his whole life.
“Come to think of it, Grandpa was probably worried about you that he said that on his deathbed,” said Grace.
“Really? Was he… worried about me?” He seemed to sneer. Out of the corners of his eyes, he glanced at Old Master Reed who was in the ice coffin. Then, he slowly looked down and rested his head gently on Grace’s shoulder.
“You were the only family he had left. He still had familial affection for you.”
“But he cares more about the rise and fall of the Reed family than the so-called familial affection,” muttered Jason.
“Maybe everyone cares about different things. Just like empires

He must have longed for Old Master Reed to shower him with the affection a grandparent would have for their grandchild. When he returned to the Reed family, Old Master Reed was the only one he could rely on.
Grace muttered, “But I should also thank him for raising you so that I could meet you, Jay. I’ll give you the familial affection you want. The kids will give it to you too.”
He was a little stunned. A look of surprise glimmered in his eyes. He had never told her this, but she knew… he longed for familial affection.
“You said everyone cares about different things, then what about you? What do you care about most?” he muttered as he took in her scent.
He liked to smell her scent. It made him feel rea**ured.
“Me?” Grace thought about it for a while and said, “What I care about most is the family I have with you. I care about you and the kids. That’s what I care most about!”
“But Grace, I’m greedy. I’m so greedy I’m unwilling to share your concern with anyone else. Even if they’re our children, I still hope I’m the one you care about most,” muttered Jason.
Grace blinked. ‘Umm… Is he even jealous of the kids?”
“I care about all three children the same way, but I care about you in a different way-in a unique way,” said Grace as her hands. gently hugged the person in front of her.
It was a slightly difficult and awkward movement because her belly was quite large now.
However, her embrace made him feel warm amidst the cold.
“Unique?”
“Yes, unique. No one can replace it,” said Grace.
“I don’t know how to care about you ‘the most’. Maybe you and the kids are equally important to me after becoming a mother, but if you want me to care more about you, then I’ll care about you a lot more!
“Jay, I’ll give you whatever you want as long as I can provide it. I just want you to be happy and smile more.”
Her voice was so clear in his ears, and it gently warmed his heart despite the cold air.
She was Grace, his wife, and his ‘sis’. She gave him everything he wanted.
She made him understand the feeling of loving someone and what happiness was.
One would have muddled through life if one never got it. However, upon getting it, one would not want to lose it no matter what.
“I’ll be happy! Grace, you only need to know that I’ll smile when I have you by my side,” Jason hugged Grace back and murmured affectionately.
She made him happy, and he only smiled for her!
Grace attended Old Master’s funeral as his granddaughter-in-law.
Although the marriage between Jason and Grace had not been reported by Emerald City’s media, some people in Emerald City’s high socie
Now that Old Master Reed had pa**ed away, Grace was officially the mistress of the Reed family!
Besides, it was said that Grace was pregnant with triplets. When the three babies were born, her position as the mistress of the Reed family would probably be more secure.
Therefore, the people who attended Old Master Reed’s funeral all treated Grace with respect.
As the deceased’s family member, Grace stood beside Jason throughout. The funeral ceremony for a family like the Reed family was naturally more complicated than an ordinary family’s.
Jason was afraid that Grace would get exhausted and asked her to sit down and rest, but she still insisted on staying by his side.
“I’m not tired yet. I’ll tell you if I am. I wouldn’t risk my health,” she said, well aware that she was not alone now. She was carrying three babies in her belly!
Just then, the ushers outside the funeral service called out Brian’s name. Grace suddenly shuddered and turned her head in the direction of the entrance.
She only saw a familiar figure in a black suit coming this way.
Speaking of which, she and Brian had not seen each other for months. He was once her childhood friend who had gone through thick and thin with her, but they parted under such circumstances.
Brian attended Old Master Reed’s funeral with his parents.
When Grace looked at him, his eyes also fell on her. There was a flash of pain in his phoenix eyes, and the hands at his sides were clenched slightly.
He missed the person he had been persistently looking for for so many years.
He and she had gotten another chance, but he ruined it with his own hands. She was now the wife of another man, standing by his side while she carried his children.
In the end, he could not be the one to stand by her side!
When the three members of the Hart family walked up to Grace and Jason, Mr. Hart and Madam Hart said some pleasantries and comforting words. Meanwhile, Brian said nothing and just stared at Grace.
After saying their greetings, Mr. Hart and Madam Hart walked to their seats. However, Brian remained standing where he was.
“Brian!” Madam Hart called out in a low voice, afraid that her son might do something inappropriate on such an occasion.
Madam Hart also knew about her son’s feelings toward Grace. It was a good thing for the Hart family that Grace had not gotten together with her son. After all, in Madam Hart’s opinion, Grace was not worthy of the Hart family or her son.
However, he seemed to be a different person these days. He had grown colder and did not seem to be interested in anything. He even spent a lot of time in his studio every day. Therefore, Madam Hart was worried once more.
Once, she had secretly opened the studio door and saw her son inside, looking like he was possessed. He had been crying and laughing while holding a painting of Grace in his arms.
There was a look of sadness on his face that Madam Hart had never seen before!
Madam Hart suddenly thought that maybe it would not have been that bad if Grace had gotten together with her son. She had no idea when her son would move on from his feelings.
