Jason looked like a sculpture. He frowned a little when he saw Grace come in. “Why is it you?”

“You just need someone to bring the child out, right? What difference does it make whether it’s me or Terrence?” said

Grace. Her nose started to feel sore again when she looked at the person in front of her.

Terrence told her earlier that after she ‘died’, Jason had held her ashes miserably and almost went crazy. Though she had not seen it, her heart ached with anguish just listening to it.

How much did this man love her? He once said he would give her his life, and he did.

Terrence also said that when Jay had to choose who to save between her and himself when she was trapped in the car, he even recorded his last words on the spot.

The man loved her with his life. It was just that he… had forgotten all about it! He forgot just how much he loved her.

However, it was enough that he was alive. It was her turn to make him love her again this time!

Grace walked forward step by step. “Jasper must like you, or she wouldn’t have fallen asleep on you like this,” she said.

He pressed his thin lips together lightly. “Take her away. I have work to do.”

However, instead of taking her away immediately, she said,

“You like her too, don’t you?” She knew him so well. If he disliked her, he would not be holding her like this even if she was a child-let alone let her put her arms around his neck.

Jason suddenly chuckled and said somewhat sarcastically,

“Why do you say so?”

Her red lips parted gently. “Because you never let people touch your neck easily.” To him, it meant putting his life into the hands of another.

Previously when she put her arms around his neck, he had said, “You know what? Only you can put your hands around my neck like this. No one else can because my carotid artery is here. Having someone pressing against it is just like putting my life in another’s hands.”

However, he was willing to let his daughter put her little hands on his neck. It was a sign that he had let down his guard against his daughter.

Jason’s expression sank. ‘Had I… told her that?’

It was as if she knew him well, yet he did not know her at all!

“That’s enough. Don’t think you know me very well. Even if you did back then, it’s been five years. You don’t know how I’ve changed in these five years,” he said coldly.

‘Yeah, it has been five years! Grace took a deep breath, “Can I get to know you again now? I’ve asked Terrence. You haven’t fallen in love with any other woman in the past five years, so you can get to know me again. Perhaps you’ll discover that I’m a decent wife.”

His eyes narrowed slightly as he stared at her intently. Moments later, the corners of his lips slowly raised. He said with a half-smile, “What’s the matter? Do you want me to fall in love with you again?”

Her almond-shaped eyes met his. “Yes.”

Her straightforward answer startled him a little. Her ‘yes’

made his heart flutter as if it meant a lot to him.

His heart beat faster and faster.

Even though he tried desperately to slow down his heartbeat, his body was not under his control at all.

“I don’t know how I fell in love with you back then, but what makes you think I’ll fall in love with you now?” His voice unconsciously rose as if to hide the awkwardness he felt at the moment.

The little one, who had been asleep on his shoulder, was awakened by his raised voice.

Jasper half-opened her eyes in a daze. “Daddy, I still want to sleep. Don’t make any noise!” The little one kissed Jason on the cheek again.

Jason stiffened once again and looked somewhat awkward.

“Alright, Jasper. I’ll take you to sleep in another room. Daddy has to work,” said Grace after taking two steps forward.

The little one said, “Okay.” She obediently stretched out her arms.

Grace took her daughter from Jason’s arms. The little one leaned against Grace’s shoulder and went back to sleep.

Jason only found his arms suddenly feeling empty. He had wanted the little one to be taken away as soon as possible, but he felt a sense of loss after she was taken away.

What was wrong with him today? Why did he keep having such strange feelings?

All these strange feelings were caused by the mother and daughter before him.

“I’ll go out first. I’ll leave you to your work,” said Grace as she lowered her voice, not wanting to wake her daughter again.

However, when she turned around, she paused and turned to look at him. “By the way, Jay, I’m still your wife. Since I’m not dead, we’re still married. It’s only natural that I want you to fall in love with me, isn’t it?”

She left the study with her daughter in her arms without waiting for him to answer.

Jason pressed his thin lips tightly together and glared at the door that opened and closed. ‘Natural? A woman who left me five years ago is now talking about it being natural.

‘But… why do I feel… glad to hear her say that? This joy is beyond comprehension!”

He raised his hand and pressed it against his heart, which was still beating fast as if he was in high spirits and feeling content. How long had he not felt this way?

Was it… all because of her?

Was it because of her appearance?

He gently looked down. With his head hung low, he looked at his hands. He had forgotten her, but… it was as if his body still remembered her. He even had a variety of different reactions when he was in front of her.

“Grace, why did you leave and come back? Do you really…

want me to love you?” he murmured, only to be answered by the silent air.

Grace saw her son, Mick Reed, in the evening.

Of course, there was a time when she thought her son and daughter would look similar. After all, they were triplets! However, she realized that the two children looked very different after seeing her son.

Her son was the spitting image of Jason! Grace still remembered seeing pictures of Jason when he was a child. He looked almost the same as his son now.

He would look like his father when he grew up, and he would probably charm a lot of Emerald City’s socialites.

“Are you my mommy?” These were Mick Reed’s first words upon meeting Grace. Grace almost choked.

She had prepared a lot of lines, but now she did not need them at all.

“How do you know?” she asked in surprise. She had not even introduced herself.

‘Was it Uncle Kwan and Terrence?’ Grace looked at the two men and saw surprise in their eyes too.

“Daddy took me to sweep your tomb before. Your picture is on the tombstone,” said Mick Reed.

Grace really choked this time. ‘Tomb… A photo on the tombstone?’

Grace looked at the indifferent Jason who was sitting on the couch nearby. He… had brought their son to sweep her tomb. What a scene that would have been!

“Why were you sweeping Mommy’s tomb?” Another childlike voice rang out. Jasper asked with a puzzled face.

“Because Mommy’s dead,” said Mick Reed.

“But Mommy’s alive.”

“Everyone says that Mommy is dead.”

Therefore, the two children launched into a heated dispute over whether Grace was alive.

Grace was speechless from the conversation and quickly said, “Alright, stop! I’m still alive and well. It was a misunderstanding! Mick, I’m back. I’m sorry. I’ve been gone for a long time, and I won’t leave you anymore.”

Grace’s eyes reddened as she sobbed.
