Filed To Story: The Scarlet Vengeance: Justice of a Framed Beauty Novel (Grace & Jason)
Jason looked at the jigsaw puzzle his son was playing with. There were about 1,000 pieces.
The average adult would have to spend 10 to 15 days to complete such a puzzle. However, when it came to this young boy, it was as if completing this puzzle was an effortless task. He put them together piece by piece at an extremely fast speed.
Jason looked at the puzzle his son was putting together. It depicted two boys and one girl.
Back then when he woke up in the hospital, Terrence told him that he had a wife named Grace and they had triplets together. At last, though, Grace fell into the sea and only one child survived.
When his son grew up, he heard everything about the triplets. He then stubbornly thought that he should have a younger brother and a younger sister.
Jason had found it strange at once. “Why a younger brother and a younger sister instead of two younger brothers or two younger sisters?”
“No reason,” the kid had replied to him with a cute voice, as if it was a given that the other two should be a younger brother and a younger sister.
Jason sat down beside his son and watched quietly as the child finished his puzzle. He considered for a while before saying, “If you really want a younger brother, I can adopt one for you.”
He only adopted the girl because his son suddenly wanted a younger sister after stumbling into Irene Lynch and her daughter on the streets. The two of them were being abused and bullied.
As such, he had someone look for them and told them that the Reed family would pay for all of Oriel Lynch’s expenses until she was of age if she was willing to be an adopted daughter of the Reed family. The Reed family would also ensure that both mother and daughter were not bullied. The Reed family would be their protective shield as long as they did not cause trouble.
Also, Oriel Lynch would only be adopted by name. Irene Lynch would not be separated from her daughter, and they would also not need to move into Reed Residence. The Reed family later purchased a villa for them to live in, and a sum of money intended for child support was transferred into Irene Lynch’s account every month.
It was a big sum of 200,000 dollars every month. It was pocket money for Irene Lynch and her daughter. There were also Oriel Lynch’s preschool fees and other huge expenses such as medical fees.
To the mother and daughter, it was as if money had dropped from the sky. Irene Lynch agreed to everything without a second thought.
However, after Oriel Lynch became an adopted daughter of the Reed family, Jason noticed that his son had not really taken a liking to his adopted younger sister. He merely greeted her when they met and did not play together.
“No, thank you.” Mick Reed shook his head. “I don’t want a younger brother.”
He had a younger sister now, anyway. He already knew what it felt like to have a younger sister. Usually, when he saw her, she was always there tagging behind him.
On some other occasions, he had happened to see his younger sister boast about various trinkets in front of other children while claiming that they were given to her by Daddy.
However, Daddy had done nothing of the sort.
It turned out that having a younger sister was just that.
“Daddy, will you get married to Aunty Lynch?” Mick Reed suddenly asked. He looked up into Jason’s eyes.
He had a face that was extremely similar to Jason’s. It was as if he was a mini version of Jason with his delicate features, ebony hair, and pale, smooth skin that looked so soft anyone would have the urge to bite his cheek.
His eyes were beautiful, but they exuded coldness as if they were devoid of emotions.
Jason narrowed his eyes. Even his son had heard of those rumors? It seemed that someone was really aiming for something they should not want.
“No,” Jason replied, unquestionably certain in his answer.
“Okay.” The kid did not say anything else after hearing his answer. With that, the conversation between father and son ended.
A servant came in and helped the child wash up, while Jason returned to his study. He walked to stop in front of a chest of drawers. After momentary consideration, he slowly pulled a drawer out.
In it was a marriage certificate. The certificate was now defunct, though, after the death of one-half of the couple.
Jason stared at the woman’s photo on the certificate. She had a very clean face and was smiling. Her smile was one that was calm and gentle as if it could soothe one’s annoyances.
To him, though, the only merit of this face was that it was comfortable to look at. It did not amaze him as he had seen. too many beautiful women.
However… He had fallen in love with this woman, married her, and let her give birth to children for him. Why?
Even if he were to marry, he would have done so with a woman with similar statuses, such as Jennifer. Why had he set his eyes on a woman who had been to prison?
Some images would occasionally appear in his mind, but the face of the woman in those memories was always blurred. Although Terrence had told him that the woman was Grace, Mick’s birth mother, he still felt nothing.
Thanks to those short fragments and Terrence’s additional words regarding his lost memories, he approximately knew what had gone on between him and Grace.
He understood, but he felt nothing about it.
Although other people had done that to him and he had loved Grace, no part of it felt real to him.
“Grace, you still abandoned me in the end. If I’ve forgotten about you, it means that I never loved you enough from the start. That’s why I could forget about you so easily,” he said softly and then casually tossed the marriage certificate into the drawer as if he was no longer attached to it at all.
In a high-speed train heading to Emerald City, an extremely cute young girl who looked to be about five years old was rifling through the stack of photos she was holding. She said to the woman beside her who was clad in a long white dress, “Mommy, Daddy is so handsome. Are you sure he’s really my daddy? You didn’t just download a photo from somewhere on the internet, did you?”
Mommy often tended to misidentify people as someone else.
“It’s true this time! He really is your daddy!” Grace said, exasperated. The girl could not be blamed, though. She had a bad track record.
She was not to be blamed for that, however. She had fallen into the sea and lost all her memories. When she woke up again, she was already in a hospital in L City.
Someone had paid for all her expenses and set an identity card beside her. The name on the card was still ‘Grace’, but the other information was not right.
However, the information was all real. There was really someone with the name Grace in L City, but the woman was an orphan. The photos in the documents depicting her life from a child to an adult all belonged to Grace, though.
The house she was supposedly renting came with clothes in her size and some photos of herself.
Due to this, she did not question anything at all then. She simply a**umed that she lost her memories due to an accident. It was just that she did not know who the unborn child in her belly belonged to.
However, she inexplicably had a feeling that she must have loved the father of her child a lot.
Also… she always had a feeling that she had been carrying more than one child.
She continued living with the identity of this other Grace. In the past two years, though, she would dream about her life with another man. Her sixth sense told her that the man was the one she loved deeply and also Jaylee’s father.
In the beginning, the man’s face had always been blurry in her dreams. That caused her to make a fool of herself quite often. Whenever she came across men who had a similar stature and face structure to the man in her dreams, she would go up and ask about them, only to be disappointed every time.
She had also encountered men who tried to lie to her, but they would always reveal themselves after she asked some more questions about the happenings in her dreams.
Since last week, the man’s face gradually became clearer and she eventually remembered the man’s identity.
He was Jason! The richest man in tMason Swansonty!
