Yes, this was her decision.

When she said this, her body seemed to tremble with some pain. It was as if all the pain was pa**ing through her body, but… she was also relieved at the same time.

Maybe… by letting this go, she could be happy and spend her life with the one she loved.

If she really let go of him, she knew she would regret it in the future!

Jason’s lips trembled. “Are you really willing to forgive me and not leave me?”

“Yes, I won’t leave you,” she replied.

His mother left him, his father left him, and his grandfather had also left him, but she would not. She wanted to spend her life with him.

Tears came streaming down again when he heard this. “Grace… Grace…” He kept calling out to her name as he cried like a child.

She took a tissue and wiped his tears. “Stop crying. I forgive you, so stop crying…”

“Okay, I’ll stop. I’ll stop.” He sobbed. He was crying more than ever today, but… she was the only one who could make him cry.

His hands took her hand that was wiping his tears. “Grace, do you know how much I love you? Do you know how afraid I was that you would never forgive me? I was afraid… Afraid you would loathe me and leave me…”

Only she could make him so afraid.

Her brows suddenly furrowed, and her body shuddered a little. His hands were wrapped around her hand, and the wave of warmth traveled from his hands to her hand. However, it made her body stiff. Then, nausea seemed to rise again.

Her other hand covered her mouth almost instinctively as she tried to suppress the feeling in her body.

He withdrew his hands almost in a panic. His tear-streaked face was pale and helpless.

“Sorry, but it may take a while before I can…” she murmured. ‘I want to forgive Jay and let go.

‘But why is my body reacting this way?’

‘Is it because… I haven’t really let it go?’ Grace looked down and speculated.

Jason’s tear-stained eyelashes trembled a little. “I’m the one who should be sorry. Grace, I’ll wait for you. I’ll wait for you to touch me and stop rejecting me. I’m willing to wait no matter how long it’ll take.”

Her willingness to forgive him was already a great surprise to him today. No matter how much he wanted to hold her and kiss her, he would control himself.

She just needed to get used to it and forget what he had done back then… He would wait patiently. He would do it no matter what!

Tonight, instead of the caregiver accompanying Grace, it was

Jason.

However, the only difference was that they were not sleeping in the same bed.

When she was about to go to bed that night, he said, “I’ll just sleep on the couch beside you. If I sleep on the bed, I’m afraid I’ll touch you when I’m asleep.”

He was afraid that his touch might trigger another bad reaction from her.

Therefore, when Grace woke up the next day, she only saw Jason lying on the couch with his eyes closed, still asleep.

She gently lifted the covers off herself and walked over to the couch.

In the past, he would always be awake when she woke up and rarely overslept. However, it was already past nine but he was still asleep.

Grace looked at Jason quietly, only feeling that he seemed thinner than before. He looked haggard even in his sleep.

Besides, there were some faint dark circles under his eyes. ‘Has he not been sleeping well these days?’

“No… No. It definitely wont re muttered

“Won’t what?” Grace Mas StTed and subconscious aset ter hand to touch his creek. However, she could not her stiffening the moment she touched him.

Hearing her voice, Jason immediately cerec his eyes sca eyes were full of desoar the moners order Sin his eyes only faded little by little when he caught st breathed a sigh of relief.

“What’s the matter? What did you dream about ade curiously.

“It’s nothing.” he said, his eyelashes flutting a little. Hekkest normal again.

“It seemed like you had a nightmare” she said.

“Really? I don’t remember.” He smiled and said, “But even if I did it’s only a nightmare. I’m going to take a shower. I’m sweating a little.”

Jason said as he picked up a change of clothes and went into the bathroom.

The warm water washed over his body, and Jason raised his hand to wipe the water on his face.

He had lied… just now. He remembered everything in his dream.

In his dream, Old Master Reed kept saying to him, “Jason, you’re doomed if you stay with Grace! Sooner or later, you’ll kill yourself if you love a woman too much and let her take charge of your life! This woman will leave you!”

Old Master Reed’s voice was like a nightmare. There was still a lingering fear in Jason’s heart even though he had woken up now.

Jason instantly shook his head and told himself to stop thinking about what Old Master Reed had said in his dream. He probably only had this dream because he was worried about what Secretary Wang might do.

‘Grace has already said she’ll forgive me and won’t leave me!’

Jason raised his hand and turned off the faucet. He put on his bathrobe, walked to the mirror in front of the sink, and looked at himself in the mirror.

His wet hair clung to his cheeks, and the water was still dripping.

The water droplets on his face looked like tears.

“Grandpa, the day you spoke of will never come. I’m not going to kill myself, and Grace’s not leaving me. She and I are going to have a happy ending!”

His deep voice carried firm determination!

For the next few days, Grace and Jason stayed in the mansion.

When Grace was free during the day, she would video call Lina, Kyla Corbyn, and Nelson. When Lina and Kyla Corbyn found out Grace and Jason had reconciled, they both gave her their blessings.

Kyla Corbyn had no idea what happened, but Lina did.

Lina privately asked Grace, “Are you really over it?” After all, she

2/4 was involved in the case from the beginning to the end. She knew how much her best friend had suffered in prison and how much the case had affected her.

Grace was even tortured to the point of almost committing suicide when she was in prison.

“Yeah, I’ll… try to get over it,” said Grace.

“That’s good.” Lina was finally relieved. “My parents also said they would like to visit you and Jason during Chinese New Year. They’ve always wanted to thank you for saving my life! I would have died if it weren’t for you.”

“Your parents have thanked me enough already. Besides, I would’ve been dead back then if it hadn’t been for you,” said Grace.

Friends need not talk much. They both understood each other well.

After arranging the time for the Chinese New Year visit, Grace finished the call just to see Jason walking toward her.

“By the way, Lina says she wants to come over tomorrow with her parents to visit us for Chinese New Year. Will you be at home?” asked Grace.

“Tomorrow?” Jason frowned slightly and said, “I may not have time tomorrow.”

“Do you have something to do? Then I’ll talk to Lina and take a rain check,” said Grace. Then, as if remembering something, she said, “Jay, can you remove some of the bodyguards and security personnel in the house? There’s no need to have so many people following me.”

It felt like she had a bunch of people following her everywhere she went.

It was all right if she was indoors. If she went outside, she would be surrounded by a large group of people even if it was still within Reed Residence.

He hesitated a little before saying, “I can’t remove them.” He even wanted to have more men stationed by her side.

“Why are you getting so many people to follow me? Do you… still think I’ll leave you?” she asked suddenly.

He pressed his thin lips together tightly and said nothing.

“So you don’t believe me?” She stared at him with wide eyes. “You don’t believe me when I say I won’t leave?”

“I…” He stiffened slightly and said, “I believe you.”

At the very least, he wanted to believe she was letting bygones be bygones and was going to stay by his side forever… However, his heart was still swollen with unease.
