Secretary Wang’s expression changed a little before suddenly saying, “Young master Reed, you’ve always been skeptical. Do you really believe in Grace? Do you believe that it didn’t bother her when you did nothing and let her go to prison for three years? Maybe she’ll betray you one day anyway. After all, never twice without three times, right?”
Secretary Wang seemed to want to sow seeds of doubt into Jason’s mind, and every word would provoke Jason’s suspicion of Grace.
However, he was let down in the end because Jason’s expression did not change. He just looked at him coldly.
“Is that all you got? If I can’t trust the woman who loves me the most in the world, who else can I trust? No matter what happens to her and me, I trust her and will never doubt her love for me,” said Jason.
After recovering all his memories, he finally understood how much she loved him.
He had always thought that she loved the children more and that the children were the main reason she stayed with him, but he suddenly recalled that she had once given up on herself and the children for him.
He was the one she sacrificed everything to save.
How could he not believe in such a woman?
“I won’t come here to see you anymore.” Jason got up. “But you should still be able to read the news in prison. Then maybe you’ll see that having a weakness isn’t all bad. Only when you have weaknesses can you be human!”
It was Grace who made him realize what it meant to be alive.
His weakness was Grace, and it would be the same for the rest of his life!
Jason walked out of the cold meeting room. The calm and collected expression on Secretary Wang’s face finally changed “Be human… Be human… How can having a weakness not be a bad thing? How is that possible… I did everything for the Reed family and Old master Reed…”
Secretary Wang shouted hysterically, which Jason could not hear, of course. Even if Jason could, he would not have cared.
Terrence respectfully opened the door of a black car that was waiting for him outside the prison.
“Let’s go home,” ordered Jason.
As the car drove slowly toward Reed Residence, Terrence said, “Young master Reed, someone has been looking into Lily recently.”
Jason’s eyes narrowed slightly. “Who’s investigating Lily?” Lily was already dead. Even the Atkinson family wanted nothing to do with Lily. Who would be investigating Lily now?
“It’s the Barlow family from Deer City,” replied Terrence.
Jason’s thin lips slowly spat out a sentence. “The Barlow family? Philip Barlow?”
“If there’s no mistake, it should be him. The Barlow family must know about the feud between Lily and the Reed family, so there must be something going on since they dare to secretly look into Lily. Besides, without Philip Barlow’s consent, the rest of the Barlow family wouldn’t have the guts to do so.”
Jason pondered for a moment before asking, “Why does the Barlow family want to look into Lily?”
“We don’t know at the moment, but they’ve been looking up what Lily did in the last five years or so… It seems they’re also checking whether Lily has given birth,” said Terrence.
“Keep your eyes on them and find out what the Barlow family wants to know,” ordered Jason.
Terrence responded.
Once the car reached Reed Residence, Jason got out and learned from Uncle Kwan that Grace and the children were now in the back garden.
Jason then walked to the back garden, only to see Grace playing Chinese jump rope with the three children there. It was a game that could even be said to be ancient.
It was also rare to see anyone playing Chinese jump rope nowadays.
William and Mick Reed stood on two sides with the rubber band rope attached to their calves, obediently being two pillars. Jasper stood on another side of the rubber band rope while Grace showed the three children how to play the game.
Her long hair was tied into a simple ponytail, and she was wearing light blue sportswear. The most simple rubber band rope kept changing into new patterns at her feet. She was like a dancing butterfly that he could hardly take his eyes off.
The three little ones watched intently. It was obviously their first time seeing this. In particular, Jasper kept clapping her hands and looked eager to try. If Grace was not skipping, the little one would have rushed over and skipped on her own!
When Grace finished skipping, she realized Jason had walked over at some point. She could not help asking, “When did you get home?”
“Just now.” Jason smiled. “I just noticed that you’re good at Chinese jump rope.”
“I’m not that good. I haven’t played this for years and almost forgot how to do it,” said Grace. When she was a child in the small town, there was not much to do for entertainment, so most girls would get together and play Chinese jump rope between classes or after school.
Jasper was shouting, “Daddy, Daddy, watch me skip!”
With that said, Jasper skipped with the rubber band rope just like Grace. Out of the corners of his eyes, Jason glanced at William, who was standing nearby as he watched his adorable daughter skip.
‘The Barlow family of Deer City is looking into Lily. What do they have to do with the boy in front of me?
‘What did Lily have to do with the Barlow family? If Lily had something to do with the Barlow family, given her character, she probably would not have committed suicide in prison but would have used the Barlow family to get even.
‘Unless she had no idea she had something to do with the Barlow family!’
With that in mind, contemplation flashed across Jason’s eyes.
Jasper had just learned this new game, so she accidentally tripped over the rubber band rope. Grace quickly helped the little one get up. She saw that Jasper Reed’s pants were scuffed, so she carefully rolled up her daughter’s pant legs, thinking the child might have skinned her knees.
William and Mick Reed also surrounded Jasper and saw that her fair calves and knees were scratched and even bleeding a little.
“Does it hurt?” asked Mick Reed.
“Only a little,” Jasper said bravely, but the expression on her little face revealed the pain she felt.
When Grace treated her daughter’s wounds, the little one screamed like a pig being slaughtered. Her almond-
shaped eyes that resembled Grace’s were teary.
Jason’s heart broke, and he wished he could take his daughter’s place.
After Grace applied the medicine for her daughter, Mick Reed and William reached out their hands to her face almost at the same time. However, it was Mick Reed’s hand that touched her face and wiped away her tears.
“Put a mat on the floor when you play Chinese jump rope in the future so you won’t hurt yourself when you fall,”said Mick Reed.
