She could sense his unease, though she thought she had imagined it because he seemed normal.

“Jay, I won’t betray you. I’ve told you this before. I’ll give you the same answer even if you ask a hundred times or a thousand times,” she said as she took his face in her hands, stood on her tiptoes, and kissed him on the lips.

The warm kiss seemed to be proof of what she said. His body stiffened before relaxing. He opened his mouth to accept her kiss.

‘I already know this. She’s not like my mother. She won’t betray me. I’ve known this all along, haven’t I?’ He told himself not to think about it even if his mind was full of images that should not appear.

“Grace, I love you. You’re the one I love the most,” he said to her when the kiss was over.

Likewise, she was the person who could hurt him most if she betrayed him!

Three DNA reports were placed in front of Jason. Terrence lowered his head, not daring to look at his boss’ reaction.

Who would have thought that the biological mother Young master Reed had been looking for was the wife of Grace’s mentor? He wondered if it was a small world or Young master Reed was shrewd enough to investigate Mrs. Watts’s past and check her DNA.

“You can leave first,” Jason said coldly, his cold face showing little emotion at the moment.

“Yes,” Terrence quickly walked out of his office.

Jason picked up the three DNA reports and looked at the final results. They were all the same.

It was enough to prove that Mrs. Watts… was the woman he was looking for!

It was the woman… he had hated for so many years!

“Hahaha… Hahaha…” Cold laughter suddenly rang out in the office. Jason had begun to laugh. His laughter became louder and louder while his eyes gradually turned red.

The person he had been looking for all this while had appeared in front of him in such a way. He was even grateful to her in the beginning; grateful that she had taken care of Grace and their daughter!

His father loved her so much that he chose death after losing her, but she found another man and was living a happy, peaceful life!

‘How dare she show up in front of me? Who is she to let the children call her Grandma?

‘How would my father feel if he learns that the woman he loved has married another man under a different name and is leading a peaceful life?

‘Dad… This is the woman you love… A woman like this killed you… Haha… Haha… Dad, don’t worry. I’m definitely… I’m definitely not going to let her off the hook. I’m going to make her pay for what she has done with the rest of her life!

Grace spent most of the day with her mentor and his wife in the hospital before returning to Reed Residence at around three o’clock. She learned from Uncle Kwan that Jay had returned early today.

Grace was a little surprised because Jay rarely came home so early.

“Where’s Jay now?”

“Young Master went to the mourning hall as soon as he came back,” said Uncle Kwan.

“The mourning hall?” Grace frowned. She turned around and headed there.

The mourning hall was silent when she got there.

Grace entered the mourning hall, only to see Jason standing like a statue in front of his father’s memorial tablet.

Even though all she could see was his back, there was a momentary silence.

There seemed to be a sense of loneliness exuding from him. It was as if he was lost in his own world right now.

It was the way she had felt when she first met him!

All of a sudden, Grace’s heart ached a little. ‘What’s wrong with him? Why do I have this feeling? Why does he feel alone? I’m clearly beside him!’

“Jay!” She called out his name.

His body suddenly trembled. He slowly turned around, his deep peach blossom eyes looking at her.

Grace instantly felt as if she had been hit hard in the heart.

His eyes seemed to be misty and red. The expression on his face was indifferent, almost expressionless. However, she somehow had the impression that he was about to cry.

“Jay, what’s the matter? What happened?” asked Grace as she sped forward.

His eyes rested firmly on her face. He suddenly hugged her with all his might. “I’m the one you love the most, and you’ll always stay by my side, won’t you?”

His embrace was so hard that it almost took her breath away.

She also felt him tremble.

His unusual behavior made her freeze. “Jay, what happened?”

“Tell me if what I just said is right.” There was a hint of urgency in his voice.

“Yes, you’re right. You’re the one I love the most, and I’ll always be by your side.” Grace raised her hands and hugged Jason back. “Tell me, what’s going on?”

He did not say anything but continued to hug her tightly as his chin rested on her shoulder. Each breath seemed a little heavy.

“Jay, we’re husband and wife. Whatever happens, I’ll face it with you,” said Grace.

He was silent for a moment before saying slowly, “I… just feel bad for my father. He loved the woman so much that he even betrayed his family and left the Reed family just to be with that woman. But that woman abandoned my father and me without hesitation because he couldn’t give her any more money.”

Grace knew that the woman he was talking about was his mother. “It was her loss to have lost your father. She’ll find out that no man in the world will ever love her as much as your father loved her. She’ll regret it. She’ll regret the decision she made at that time.”

“Regret?” Jason suddenly sneered. “How could a woman like her ever feel regret? She’s probably enjoying her life right now!”

Grace slowly cupped Jason’s face. “Jay, don’t let your mother dictate your life anymore. Those things are in the past. No one knows where your mother is and whether she’s alive or dead. But you have your own life. If you keep dwelling on the past, you’ll never be truly happy. Jay, stop thinking about it, okay?”

“Stop thinking about it?” His eyelashes quivered gently. Then, he slowly looked up and stared at her. “What will you do if my mother appears in front of me one day?”

“Me?” She froze a little. She had never thought of such a thing. “I don’t know. It’s up to you to decide what happens. between you and your mother, but I hope you won’t regret any decisions you make.”‘

His eyes gleamed. “You said it. It’s up to me to decide, and I won’t regret whatever decision I make!”

His hand caught the back of her head and he kissed her hard on the lips once he was done talking…

“Jay… Enough… Enough…” Grace said, nearly pa**ing out several times.

“Not enough… Grace. It’s far from enough.” His fingers interlocked with hers, and his voice was hoarse with endless longing while his beautiful eyes were filled with suppressed and indecipherable darkness.

Finally, Grace was so tired that she fell asleep. Jason stared at her sleeping face for a long time before picking her up and walking into the bathroom.

Jason muttered, “Grace, will you stay out of whatever happens tomorrow? Just watch quietly. If that person… isn’t ‘her’, I’ll let her off the hook for your sake, but there’s only one woman in the world that I won’t let off the hook!”

If he let that woman off the hook, then the pain he suffered when he was little and his father’s death would have been for nothing.

Early the next morning, Grace wore a turtleneck sweater and accompanied Old Lawyer Watts and Mrs. Watts to the Reed family’s cemetery.

Fortunately, the weather was getting colder now, so it was not unusual that Grace was wearing a turtleneck sweater.

However… for some reason, Grace still felt uneasy when she thought of Jay’s unusual reaction yesterday.

Yesterday was not a day for mourning, but Jay went to the mourning hall and mentioned his mother. He was obviously. not in the right mood.
