“Grace, love me,” he muttered her name and kissed her collarbone before slowly going to her neck, jaw, and eventually, her lips.
She put her hands against his chest and accepted his kiss.
“But… I have to pick up Mick and Jasper soon,” she spoke with a gasp when the kiss was over, “Then it’ll only take a while… I won’t delay you from picking them up,” he said with desire in his delicate eyes, which also exuding a charm at the same time.
Her eyes could hardly move away from his face. She felt as though her heart and soul were drawn by the look in his eyes. He was charming, gorgeous, and even irresistible.
“Love me. I want you… to love me harder…” His hoarse voice was the most enchanting sound to her.
He carried her in his arms, gently lay her on the bed, and unbuttoned her shirt he had just buttoned earlier…
It was a weekend the next day. Grace and Jason took their son and daughter to attend a musical instrument exhibition held in Emerald City. There would be many world-cla** musical instruments and best-sellers of well-known brands displayed there. Jasper was learning to play the piano and wanted to visit the exhibition, so they had planned to come here a week ago.
The weather was hotter now, so most people wore low-cut clothing. However, Grace wore a turtleneck, covering herself “Mommy, don’t you feel hot?” asked Jasper as she botted her almond-shaped eyes that were similar to Grace’s.
“No,” Grace replied awkwardly.
After her and Jason’s intimate time together yesterday afternoon, she almost could not get up from bed, let alone pick up the kids. She also had red marks all over her body. If her neck and neckline were visible, everyone would know what had happened.
Fortunately, Jasper did not ask any more questions but turned her head and began to whisper to Mick Reed.
Grace noticed that the two siblings often whispered to each other this week as if they had a secret.
However, she did not think much of it. After all, the brother and sister having a secret meant that they were close.
“Really?” Jason’s voice rang in Grace’s ear.
She turned her head, her lips almost touching his cheek.
“I… I don’t feel hot!” Grace said with some embarra**ment, They were so close that she could see each of his eyelashes. The way she looked in his eyes, and… their synced breathing made her feel as though they were in their own world.
“Really?” he asked with a slight smile on his lips.
She cleared her throat. “Next time, don’t… leave hickeys… in such obvious places. People will easily see them.”
He raised his hand slightly to touch her neck. “Are you embarra**ed? We’re married, so what if someone sees it? It just means we have a great relationship, doesn’t it?”
He had deliberately left the hickeys. It was as if imprinting his mark on her so others would not covet her.
Grace froze, suddenly finding herself unable to contradict him.
“If you’re embarra**ed, then you can leave a mark on my neck next time,” said Jason.
“…” If he showed it in public, then she would be just as embarra**ed.
Some people looked their way. After all, a handsome man was holding an elegant woman in his arms. They stood so close that the tips of their noses almost touched. This scene of the couple looked just like a pleasing picture.
Then, the melodious voice of a child rang out. “Daddy, Mommy, there seems to be someone playing the piano over there. Shall we go and have a look?”
Grace came to her senses and quickly agreed to her daughter’s request. “Okay!” Then, she took her son and daughter to the spot her daughter mentioned with a blushing face.
Jason smiled and followed.
When they came to where the music was being played, they realized that a child was playing the piano. The child looked to be almost five or six years old. He was a handsome boy wearing a regular white shirt and pants. He looked refreshing and smart.
The little boy played the piano deftly with all ten fingers. Beautiful music flowed from his fingertips.
However, there were no changes in the boy’s expression. Even though he was playing a happy tune, he was not smiling. It was as if he was just playing mechanically.
When the song ended, many people around them applauded.
Only Jasper looked at the little boy suspiciously before walking up to him and asking, “Why did you play badly on purpose when you can play very well?”
As soon as she said this, the other adults said, “Little girl, the little boy played beautifully. Don’t talk nonsense!”
“Yeah, he played pretty well. This music score is difficult to play. Even someone who has been playing the piano for years can hardly play it well!”
“But he made mistakes on purpose!” muttered Jasper as she gazed at the little boy, wanting to know why.
The little boy ignored what Jasper said and got down from the chair, planning to leave.
Jasper Reed’s little hand caught the little boy’s hand. “Could you play it again? Play it well, and don’t make mistakes on purpose.”
The little boy scowled, planning to shake her hand away.
However, Jasper held a tight grip.
Grace saw this and was about to ask her daughter to let go when another small figure rushed toward Jasper and the little boy.
It was Oriel Lynch.
“Jasper Reed, he played so well. Why did you say he played it badly? You just think you’re the best,” said Oriel Lynch.
She hated having Jasper steal the spotlight. Besides, she had learned piano before. Her piano teacher had always complimented her on her performance!
However, she had only heard her teacher play the tune the boy played before. She had no idea how to play it!
Her teacher had also said that only those who had learned to play the piano for many years could play that piece well!
The boy must be a genius to play so well!
Oriel Lynch only spoke up to embarra** Jasper Reed.
“Wanna, how could you say that about Jasper?” Irene Lynch walked up and asked her daughter. Then, she gave Grace and Jason an apologetic look. “There must be a reason for Jasper to say that.”
“What reason can there be? She’s just simply saying it. If she has the skills, then she should play the some piece!” Oriel Lynch pouted and said, “She’s criticizing others when she can’t play the piece herself.”
“Jasper, I’m sorry. Oriel just thinks it’s wrong to criticize others at will. Don’t mind her,” Irene Lynch said kindly, working hard to maintain her gentle image.
Jasper did not want to talk to Irene Lynch at all. She only turned to the little boy and said, “Can I point out your mistakes if I play the same piece?”
She looked at him. Her almond-shaped eyes were pure and innocent. The words she spoke were straightforward as well.
The little boy pressed his lips tightly together and said nothing.
“Then don’t leave. I’ll play it for you,” said Jasper before letting go of his hand and walking toward the piano.
The onlookers around them could not help but say, “Oh, do kids nowadays think if others can play a song like that, they can play it too?”
“Does she think she can play it after a few days of piano lessons?”
“Oh, won’t you grown-ups control her? Are you really going to let her play? The piano’s worth a million dollars. It’ll cost a lot of money to repair the piano if she messes around and breaks it.”
Sure enough, Jasper was stopped by the staff when she sat on the piano bench.
“Why can he play and not me?” Jasper asked in confusion.
“He’s different,” they said.
