Sean’s pupils suddenly constricted. “Did… Did you hear what I said to her?”
Jason looked indifferent. “So what if I did? Sean, if you dare appear in front of her and say such nonsense again, or have anything to do with her, I’ll make your life a thousand times worse than what it is now!”
Jason’s voice was cold with a unique magnetism, which was pleasant to hear but sounded like Satan to Zoe Stevens.
Zoe Stevens was pale with fear, but Sean, who was being warned, suddenly burst into laughter. “So Jason, you were nearby? But you didn’t show up when I talked to Grace. Why didn’t you show up? What are you worried about? Or rather… what are you afraid of?”
Jason’s eyes became colder.
“What’s the matter? Are you worried about Grace and I rekindling our romance?”
The next moment, Jason grabbed Sean’s collar so hard that he could hardly breathe.
“Rekindling your romance? Grace with you? Jason sneered, his rage intensifying. “Sean, if you hadn’t saved Grace’s life. do you think you could stand in front of me and talk to me like this?”
It became more difficult for Sean to breathe. He instinctively wanted to struggle, but it was no use.
Just when he thought he was about to be strangled to death, Jason’s grip loosened. He fell flat on his face, coughing and gasping for air.
For a moment there, he felt the terror of death.
Jason looked down at Sean condescendingly. “You’d better not challenge my limits, Sean. It’s easy for me to kill you!”
With that said, he turned to leave, and the bodyguards took the memory card from Zoe Stevens’s phone before following him.
Zoe Stevens finally regained her freedom and limped over to Sean. “Brother, are you okay? How could Jason do that? How can he be so daring?!”
Sean laughed bitterly. “Why are you doubting him? Weren’t you daring when the Stevens family hadn’t fallen back then?”
Zoe Stevens’s expression changed as she bit her lip. “Are we just going to leave it at that? You… even injured your hand trying to save Grace…
“She’s already paid for Mom’s medical bills. Even though 1 saved her life, she has already paid me back. Don’t ever say anything like that again and leave her alone, Sean got up and said to Zoe Stevens, “You can’t afford to piss off jason:
“But you pissed Jason off on purpose just now!” Zoe Stevens snapped.
Sean’s eyes dimmed. ‘Yeah, I said those words in the spur of the moment and almost got strangled to death!’
However, one thing was certain… Jason was probably uneasy, and it was because of Grace. Otherwise, he would not have been irritated by what he said.
Who would have thought that a man like Jason would get uneasy for a woman?
How much… did Jason love Grace?
It was something he might never be able to do!
After Grace returned to Reed Residence, she changed her clothes in the bedroom. She was planning to pick up her two little ones from kindergarten afterward. Just then, Jason came back.
“Why are you home so early?” Grace asked in surprise as she put on her shirt.
“There’s nothing much going on in the office today, so I came home early,” Jason said as he approached her and raised his hand to button her shirt for her. “Let me do it for you.”
She blushed a little. She was wearing nothing but her bra underneath her shirt. Although he often helped her wear her clothes these days, she still could not help blushing.
He looked at her flushed face with fascination. She was blushing because of him.
His long fingers buttoned her shirt button by button while his voice rang nonchalantly. “Where did you go today?”
Grace said, “I went to the hospital. I went to see Sean’s mother, who’s hospitalized. She has kidney disease and owes more than 20,000 dollars in medical bills. She also needs 100,000 dollars for follow-up treatment. So I deposited money into Sean’s mother’s medical insurance account?
“Really?” Jason gently looked down, his hands never stopping what they were doing.
“Sorry, I should have mentioned this to you first, but I didn’t decide to pay for her medical bills until I went to the hospital, said Grace. She had only made up her mind after meeting Mrs. Stevens.
If it turned out Mrs. Stevens hated her with all her heart, she might not have paid for her medical bills. However, Mrs. Stevens had begged for her children.
Although Grace did not like Mrs. Stevens, she cared a lot about her children. Grace was also the mother of one son and one daughter. She would not hesitate to die for them either.
Jason chuckled. “There’s no need to apologize for such a thing. Everything in the Reed family is yours, and your decision is also mine.”
Grace was relieved.
“Then what happened? Did you meet Sean at the hospital?” Jason seemed to ask casually.
Grace said, “Yes, we exchanged a few words. I paid the medical bills to repay Sean for saving me. We won’t owe each other anything from now on.
His fingers stopped slightly. Then, he bent over and buried his face in her neck.
“What’s the matter?” she asked in confusion.
He muttered, “I’m just thinking how great it’d be if I were the one who saved you that day. If I had been by your side that day, I would’ve spared no effort to save you. I wouldn’t have let you suffer any harm.”
A scene instantly recurred to Grace. They were at the seaside, and he had crouched down with his fingers pressing on something. He looked up at her with a wary expression and said, “Grace, don’t be afraid. You’ll be fine. I won’t let anything happen to you.”
The scene soon faded, and those words seemed to be the only thing she could hear at this moment.
‘What’s going on here? What did I just see? Seaside? Is this the memory of me falling into the sea? Oh yes. Terrence once mentioned that Jay had pushed the button of the device set up by Old master Reed with the intention to sacrifice himself to save me!’
The scene that just flashed through her mind was of him pushing the button.
Old master Reed’s recording also mentioned he would be blown up once he pushed the button, but all he did was comfort her and tell her not to be afraid.
“I’ll deal with Sean from now on, okay? Don’t ever see him or anyone from the Stevens family again.” Jason gently kissed Grace’s collarbone as he spoke.
She was still so absorbed in the memory that she did not come to her senses until she felt him sucking on her collarbone.
She met his peach blossom eyes that were as deep as the sea. “What were you thinking just now?” he asked as he stared at her. She was obviously distracted just now.
‘I mentioned Sean, so was she thinking about Sean? Was she thinking about what Sean had said to her today or what she and Sean once had?’
Grace said, “Nothing. I just think you’re right. If you were by my side, you would’ve given everything to protect me.”
“So, can you stop seeing Sean and the Stevens family?” he repeated what he had said before.
She chuckled. “I never planned on seeing them again?
“You wouldn’t do anything for him even if he begged you again?” he asked.
“Now that I’ve repaid him for saving me, we’re even. I have no reason to help him.” Sean was even the one who hurt her!
“That’s great,” he murmured as his lips touched her collarbone again.
She could not help moaning. When he used the tip of his tongue to lick her collarbone, she trembled. “Jay…”
“How sweet,” he said.
Boom!
Her face turned a deep shade of red. “You…”
