Before Grace finished speaking, another voice suddenly rang out. “Brion, since when do you have the right to interfere in the Reed family’s affairs?”

Grace instantly froze and turned her head to look in the direction of the sound.

She only saw that a black Bentley had pulled up next to them at some point and Jason was standing in front of it, looking coldly at them.

His gaze made Grace feel a pang in her heart. ‘Has he misunderstood something?’

“Why trap Grace if you don’t love her?” Brian faced Jason. “Or are you trying to deny ever having said you don’t love her?”

Jason pressed his thin lips tightly as he stared at Brian.

The two men confronted each other.

Grace tried to pull her arm out of Brian’s hand, but Brian’s fingers were so tightly wrapped around her that she could not do so.

Jasper Reed, who was standing beside Grace, was visibly scared. Her small hand held Grace’s other hand tightly while her small face grew pale.

Suddenly, Jason’s thin lips curved as he sneered, “So what if I said that?”

As he spoke, he walked up to Brian, grabbed the man’s hand, and said, “Even if I don’t love her, Grace is still my wife. She can’t go anywhere as long as I don’t let her!”

“Even you can’t stop her if she wants to go!” said Brian. It was because he would do anything to help her leave.

She occupied his heart. It was alright if Jason could give her happiness. However, he did not want to miss out on Grace again if Jason did not love Grace.

“Well, then let’s see if I can stop her or not!” Jason said coldly. Then, he told the subordinate behind him, “Carry the little young lady away!”

His subordinate responded and went over to carry Jasper away.

However, Jasper held onto Grace’s hand and refused to leave. Grace could only say, “Jasper, be good. Daddy, Uncle Hart, and I have something to talk about. Why don’t you follow this uncle inside and wait for me?”

The little one seemed a little hesitant.

“Be good. Follow Uncle into the house. Daddy and I will go in soon. Your brother should be back now. Why don’t you go in and help me find out what homework he’s been tasked to do in the kindergarten today? Then we’ll help him finish it,” Grace said again.

The little one nodded and let go.

Jason’s subordinate quickly carried the little one into Reed Residence.

Grace finally let out a sigh of relief and turned to look at Brian. “Brian, let go. I won’t leave.”

“Are you never going to leave him even if he doesn’t love you?” asked Brian.

Grace said with great certainty, “Yes, I won’t leave him. I’ll never leave unless he asks me to leave one day.”

“You…” Brian was stunned. “Do you love him that much? How am I any worse than him? He doesn’t have to love you, but I can’t do it. I met you first… and… I looked for you for years…”

Grace was silent. There was no first come, first serve in relationships.

Brian was persistent about her and she believed he was sincere. However, her heart had no place for him.

Her silence made Jason’s eyebrows furrow slightly.

The next moment, he opened his mouth and said to Brian, “The one she loves now is me. So what if you met her earlier than me? Even if I don’t love her, she’ll only have me in her heart.”

Jason’s hand instantly grabbed Grace’s jaw as he spoke.

Grace was stunned. Before she could figure out what he wanted to do, she saw his face quickly approaching hers. Then, his warm lips were pressed against her lips.

Grace stared blankly at the face in front of her. He… was kissing her. Besides, it was in front of Brian. There were even security guards and the driver around them…

She felt a little uncomfortable doing this in public, but she did not want to push him away or reject the kiss. No matter the reason he was kissing her, it was the first time he was doing so after five years.

Grace could not help but close her eyes and indulged in the kiss.

‘Jay, Jay! Does he know how much I love him? Does he know how it hurt my heart when he said he doesn’t love me?’

Even if she knew he only said so because of his memory loss, she could not control the pain that overcame her.

Her heart ached for both of them. Her heart ached for the suffering he went through after she fell into the ocean.

At least she had forgotten everything when she woke up and never suffered that pain. Just what sort of pain had he suffered back then?

Life and death. The one alive often suffered the most.

He ‘did not love her’ now because he had ‘loved her too much’ back then.

Brian stared blankly at the scene in front of him. It was so familiar to him.

‘But Grace kissed Jason in front of me to make me give up on her back then. Now, is Jason doing this to show that Grace is still his wife even if he doesn’t love her?

‘Grace isn’t someone who likes to be the center of attention in public, but she’s not pushing Jason away. Is Jason still the only one occupying Grace’s heart?

‘Even after all these years, I still can’t get some of the love in her heart?’

When the kiss w over, Brian had loosened his grip on Grace’s arm. His eyes were filled with pain, self-mockery, and helpless despair.

He could have gotten any woman he wanted, but she was the only woman he could not get.

Jason slowly looked up at Grace, who seemed to still be lost in their earlier kiss. He muttered, “Do you love me?”

“Yes…” she could not help replying.

He smiled faintly and glanced at Brian, who was in a daze, as if there was no need for him to say anything else. This scene was proof enough.

Jason took Grace by the hand and walked toward the house. It was only now that the people around them came to their senses. They were naturally surprised.

Who would have thought that Young master Reed would kiss Young Madam like that in public? Some of the people who were still working here five years ago had seen how much Jason cared about Young Madam.

Therefore, it was becoming exceedingly certain that Young master Reed had not forgotten his feelings for Young Madam.

Brian was still standing there when the two figures disappeared before him. His handsome face was full of pain and disappointment.

The crown prince who ruled the entertainment industry was now just a poor man who could not get what he wanted.

After Jason took Grace into the main house, he quickly let go of her hand and said somewhat coldly, “It seems there’s a lot of history between you and Brian.”

“Huh?” Grace looked at Jason’s seemingly unhappy face and quickly said, “Nothing’s going on between him and me. I didn’t expect him to suddenly show up today. Besides, I already-”

However, before she could finish, he interrupted coldly, “You don’t need to tell me what happened between you and him or what happened today. I’m not interested either. You just have to remember that you’re Mrs. Reed now. Don’t do anything to disgrace the Reed family.”

With that said, he went upstairs.

Grace stared at the man’s back in silence. ‘What does he mean by not disgracing the Reed family? Nothing’s going on between Brian and me! He would never have said that if it were back then.’

It seemed that she still had to find an opportunity to explain things to him, lest he misunderstood!

Jason was still cold during dinner, and the atmosphere was very suffocating.

Grace suddenly felt as if she was being given the cold shoulder.
