Ch. 181..190

My Gorgeous Wife is an Ex-Convict Chapter 181-She completed her sentence in broken pieces.

“I will,” he replied. After all, he had promised her. Since he had seen how she looked like when drunk, then he should fulfill her wishes to let those people go.” He took the glass from her hand and drank from it.

She must be very drunk. Otherwise, she would not have called him ‘Jay’ again.

He just never realized how much he enjoyed hearing her call him ‘Jay. The way she gently called him ‘Jay’ made him feel that someone was watching and waiting for him within the darkness that shrouded him.

She smiled again in an extremely sweet manner. Then, she slumped against him as if she had completed her mission. Her arms curled around his neck.

“Jason, I’m… I’m so sleepy. I feel like… sleeping…” She mumbled before she fell asleep in his arms.

He looked down at the sleeping beauty in his arms.

When she was sober, she would always be so alert against him. Now that she was asleep, her guards against him could be put down.

“Sis, you look much cuter when you’re drunk,” he mumbled as he lifted his hand to sweep away the stray hairs on her forehead.

Her cheeks were a shade of camel red from all the wine she drank. Her almond eyes were shut, but it emphasized her curved lashes, tiny nose, and supple lips. She looked so attractive right now.

His heart wanted to prove that as it thumped faster.

Jason lowered his eyelids slightly before he reached for his jacket that was placed aside. He draped it over her body. He then carried her and left the room.

Her face was buried in his embrace as she continued to sleep soundly. When he reached the car park, Terrence was already waiting by the car and respectfully opened the car door for them.

Jason carried Grace into the car.

Not far from there, two people were also walking toward the car park. When they witnessed the scene, Brian raised his brows in disbelief.

‘Looks like Jason has a woman now. Looking at the way he’s carrying her so carefully into the car, that woman must have an important place in Jason’s heart.

Evelyn who witnessed the same thing had a different thought.

She might not have seen the face of the woman in Jason’s arms, but she saw the pair of shoes that the woman wore. She remembered that Grace had the same pair of shoes.

‘Don’t tell me that Jason is carrying Grace?!’ She remembered seeing Grace and Jason together at Grace’s rented house previously. Sudden unrest rose in Evelyn’s heart.

Jason’s car left the car park, and Evelyn also followed Brian into his car.

“Brian, earlier… Was that Jason, president of Reed Group?” Evelyn asked purposefully.

“Yup, it’s him,” Brian replied dryly.

“Then… Do you know who he was carrying?” She continued to pry.

He turned his head slightly, and his gaze landed on her face. “Why? Are you curious? If you want to know, then why don’t you ask him the next time you see him?” She did not have the guts to do that! “I’m just being curious and simply asking.” Evelyn sheepishly smiled.

My Gorgeous Wife is an Ex-Convict Chapter 182-“Sometimes, it’s better to be less curious.” He looked away and drove the car.

“Okay, understood.” Evelyn portrayed an obedient look.

She had stalked around and found that Brian liked obedient women. The more obedient they were, the longer they could stay with him. As for those who wanted to prove that they were an exception and wanted to be his ‘only one’, they were quickly dumped.

Although she wanted to become his ‘exception’ and ‘only one’, she was not going to rush into things. She would slowly inch. her way into his heart.

“Brian, thank you for the necklace you gave me today. I love it very much. However, I don’t think I have many opportunities to wear such a luxurious necklace.” Evelyn started on a happy note but subsequently sounded regretful.

She did not realize that her perfect performance was nothing but a joke in Brian’s eyes.

After all, he had encountered too many women who liked to put up a show. “You can wear them when you attend the Starlight Banquet.” Joy swept across Evelyn’s face, but she said, “But I’m just on unknown actress now, I don’t think I’m going to be invited to the Starlight Banquet.” “Why do you need an invitation to attend it? You just need to follow me there. I will then introduce you to a few directors and producers,” Brian said.

Evelyn immediately exclaimed, “Brian, you’re the best!” Brian continued to drive his car. The gaze in his eyes was icy from the very beginning.

He knew very well what Evelyn wanted, thus he just went along with her wishes.

After all, she was now his current girlfriend.

He did not mind providing some perks to his women as long as he received some benefits in return as well.

His car arrived at the entrance of the Cummins residence.

Evelyn could not bear to part from him. “Brian, thanks for driving me home.

Would you… like to come up?” “Nope,” he said as his face inched closer to hers.

Evelyn’s heart thumped so fast that it felt like it was going to bounce out. ‘Is he going to kiss me?” Soon after, she was only left with disappointment because he merely placed his finger on her lips and gently rubbed on the lipstick she had on.

He frowned a little and took a piece of tissue to wipe the color off his finger before plainly saying, “Don’t use this color anymore. It’s too bright and does not suit your lips.” “Huh? Oh, okay. Understood,” Evelyn immediately replied.

“You may get down now.” The tone of his voice did not carry any emotions.

The car immediately sped off once Evelyn got down.

Evelyn bit on her lips, looking bewildered. She did not understand why Brian complied with everything she wanted.

For example, he would gift her any luxury bags, clothes, or pieces of jewelry she laid her eyes on.

Furthermore, he even invested in her to help build up her acting career as if those resources did not need any money.

However, to say that he liked her, it seemed like that was not the case either. In addition to that, his gaze was always so cold whenever he looked at her.

“It’s just the beginning. I will get a hold of Brian’s heart soon enough!’ Evelyn comforted herself.

‘Another thing is, what’s going on with Grace? Is Grace… together with Jason?’ That puzzling question kept circulating in Evelyn’s head.

Within the confines of the tiny house, Jason carried Grace inside and gently placed her on the bed.



My Gorgeous Wife is an Ex-Convict Chapter 183-“You can go home for the night,” Jason said to Terrence who followed him in.

Shock flashed across Terrence’s eyes. However, since he had been following Jason for such a long time, he understood that there were some things that he should not ask.

“Yes,” Terrence responded and left the house.

‘Since Young Master Reed asked me to leave, then I guess. this means that Young Master Reed… is going to stay here.

tonight?” Inside the rented house, there were only Jason and Grace.

He helped her remove her shoes and coat before he pulled the covers over her.

Then he pulled a chair to sit by the bed.

When he thought about it, it had been a while since he lived here. This house no longer had any traces to prove that he once lived here.

‘Has she thrown out all my things?’ That thought made him frown as a sense of displeasure rose in his heart.

At that moment, Grace, who was supposed to be fast asleep, suddenly opened her eyes and wanted to get out of bed.

“What is it?” he asked.

With half-opened blurry eyes, she mumbled, “Water… I need water… She was probably feeling parched from drinking so much wine earlier.

Jason sighed and firmly sat her on the bed. “Sit here and don’t move. I’ll get you some water.” He was worried that she might scald herself if she went to get water on her own in her current state!

He walked over to the little table where her hot flask was. He knew that she would usually pour a cup of cold water and add some hot water into it during the winter season. The water would then become warm water, a suitable temperature to drink during cold days.

He took a cup and mixed some warm water for her before returning to the bed.

Fortunately, she was obediently sitting on the bed with her back straight, looking like a good student.

Jason did not hold back his laughter when he looked at Grace.

As if she heard him, she raised her chin and looked at him.

with her half-opened almond eyes. Her face was colored with shades of red, her lips as well.

“Water… I need water…” she kept mumbling, but her sitting position remained the same as before.

He found her inexplicably cute.

“Alright, here’s your water.” He carefully angled the cup to her lips.

She clumsily reached for the cup and gulped the water all at once before releasing a long breath. With a satisfied smile, she said, “Thanks.” “Did you have enough? Do you want more water?” he asked her.

She cocked her head to the side as if trying to comprehend what he was saying before finally murmuring, “Sleepy… Need sleep…” “Then just…” He could not complete the last three words ‘go to sleep’ when she had already reached out her hand and pulled him.

He was caught by surprise as she managed to pull him onto the bed with her.

In the next moment, she was already on top of him, smiling demurely as her fingers lightly traveled on the skin of his face.

“Jay…” Her gentle voice rang through his ears. Her sweet scent was mixed with the smell of wine that could intoxicate anyone.

“Tell me, why are you so good looking?”

My Gorgeous Wife is an Ex-Convict Chapter 184-His dark eyes stared only at her. Grace who was drunk looked so delicate and alluring. ‘How many people have seen this side of her?

‘Has Sean Stevens seen it before?’ A sudden wave of jealousy rose in his heart. He was jealous that Sean Stevens had dated her before. While she was dating Sean Stevens, had she ever used such a gentle tone to call out his name? How intimate were they while they were dating?

“Are you being truthful that I’m good-looking?” he murmured back. He had the urge to keep her by his side and not allow anyone else to see such an attractive side of her.

“Yup. Very much. Jason is the most handsome man I’ve ever seen.” She smiled as her fingers playfully tapped on the tip of his nose as if he was an interesting toy.

Perhaps, she was the only one who could treat him like a toy.

Suddenly, her expression changed. Her smile faded and was replaced with sadness. “Jason, I’ll treat you very well. Please don’t leave me, okay?” Her almond eyes looked misty.

important existence to her, and if he left, that would be a burden she could not bear.

“I never wanted to leave you. You were the one who did not want to stay by my side. Have you forgotten?” He knew that she was drunk at the moment and probably would not recall what she said now tomorrow, but he could not stop himself from conversing with her.

She cocked her head trying to ponder. “Why… Why didn’t I want to stay by Jay’s side? I want to stay by Jay’s side… I so badly want to…” Perhaps he would only get to hear such words when she was drunk.

Her fingers traveled from the tip of his nose to his lips and tapped on them. It was as if she had found a new piece of land as her face inched closer to his lips.

She stuck out her tongue and lightly licked his lips once.

His body stiffened as his gaze darkened. “Do you realize what you’re doing?” Of course, she did not know what she was doing. She merely smiled at him, looking elated as if she had just tasted something sweet.

Jason felt his body heating up. Usually, he would never have any physical reactions when faced with women who did more intimate movements when trying to seduce him.

Yet a simple action from her had evoked a response that he could hardly control.

Unfortunately, she ignored him and lowered her head once again. Their lips came in light contact as the tip of her tongue licked over his lips again. “It’s sweet…” she slurred.

At that moment, she was like an innocent child, unlike her usual repressed self after coming out from prison.

He quickly closed his eyes as his hands unknowingly curled into fists. He was trying his best to control his urge.

“You think that I won’t do anything to you no matter what you do to me, is that it?” his gruff voice said, but he was not sure if he meant that for her or himself.

She blinked her almond eyes as if she did not understand what he said. It was followed by a look of consideration. After some time, she smiled suddenly and pressed her lips on his.

“It’s so sweet. Jason, have a taste of this…” she said and kissed him just like that.

He stiffened his body and passively received this kiss from her.

He was inevitably drowning in such sweetness.

When her lips parted from his lips, he felt a sudden loss and wanted more.

My Gorgeous Wife is an Ex-Convict Chapter 185-He suddenly flipped over and pressed her down below him. “It’s not enough… It’s far from enough.” He murmured as his fingers gently caressed her face. Her alluringly drunk demeanor was like a budding rose, so beautiful and so attractive.

Her eyes shimmered like the autumn dew whenever she looked at him. Her smile when she called him Jay, her hands wrapping themselves around his neck, her fresh, sweet scent filling his whole being… All these made him feel like he was being intoxicated.

“It looks like I should not have said things such as not touching a drunk woman,” he murmured. This was the first time he went back on his words, and it was all because of her.

He lowered his head and kissed her lips while tossing and turning around. It felt so nostalgic, and he was so reluctant to leave.

His physical urge that had been aroused by her needed to be appeased by her only.

It was as if his body would only react so strongly toward her.

He did not know how long they were kissing for before they stopped. He found that she had already fallen asleep.

“What the…” A rare helplessness surfaced within him. This woman was playing with fire mere moments ago but had fallen asleep, leaving him hanging there.

His dark eyes stared at the person underneath him. After some time, Jason sighed and pulled the covers over Grace before sitting back by the side of the bed.

“You owe me, do you know that?” he mumbled as his voice dissipated in the air.

The temperature in that little room was no longer cold. Even the air felt rather warm.

When Grace woke up, she saw Jason sitting by her bedside and was flabbergasted.

“Why are you here?” she stammered.

“Do you think you could get back on your own after getting drunk?” he asked her in return.

Grace suddenly recalled that she had drunk a huge amount of wine yesterday. Her memories only went as far as to when she was still drinking in the private room.

“So yesterday, after sending me home, you didn’t go home?” She was perplexed. ‘He can’t have sat there the whole night, can he?’ “Yup, I didn’t go home but took care of you the whole night instead. So, do you think that you need to thank me?” Thank you,” she said with a little bewilderment. He was the one who wanted her to drink yesterday, but he wanted her to thank him at this moment. “By the way, will you release my uncle and the bunch?” She was suddenly reminded of her motive for drinking wine yesterday. At that moment, she looked at him earnestly and nervously, fearful that he might reject her.

He chuckled. “I’ve asked Terrence to settle it. They should be out soon.” She heaved in relief upon hearing that.

‘Once Uncle and the rest have been released, then my grandmother’s illness should improve as well.

My Gorgeous Wife is an Ex-Convict Chapter 186-After what they did to you and imprisoned you for so many days, aren’t you worried that they will hold a grudge against you and do worse things if they are released?” he asked.

Grace remained silent. She understood the situation very well. After all that had happened, her uncle was not going to feel grateful to her for helping to release them. Instead, they would hold a bigger grudge toward her.

“They are people I don’t care about. I can’t be bothered no matter how much they hate me, or what they think of me,” she looked down and calmly replied.

However, such calmness made him inexplicably agitated.

“What about me?” he suddenly asked.

“What?” She was taken aback and could not react on time.

He rested both hands by the bedside and leaned closer. “What about me? Do you care about me? Are you bothered about what I think of you?’ Grace was stunned. If he was Jason, then she would surely care. However, he was now Jason… guess you care less if I am bothered or not?

“What if I’m bothered about it?” He challenged her.

She bit her lip and took in a deep breath. “I care.” He was shocked to hear her reply. “Reason being?” “Because you’re Jason. You call the shots in Emerald City. A simple sentence from you can change a person’s life. Of course, I have to care about what you think of me. You’re well aware that I can’t afford to offend you.” The price to pay for offending him was going through those repeated tortures in prison. She was afraid and fearful of it!

She was not in a position where she could go against him.

His mood abruptly worsened.

“Can’t afford to offend me? If that’s the case, why didn’t it cross your mind that you would offend me when you said you’re not willing to stay by my side!” he coldly chided.

She instinctively crouched lower.

He raised a hand and grabbed the back of her head to draw her face closer to his. He said to her in a flirtatious tone, “Last night after I brought you home, do you know what happened between us in this room?” Her expression changed. “You said you wouldn’t touch me.” “Yes, I did say that. But even if I did do anything to you, so what?” he asked back.

Her complexion paled as her teeth bit down on her lower lip, almost drawing blood. Her pair of almond eyes no longer looked calm. Instead, the calmness was replaced with anxiety, unrest, and hesitation.

At that moment, Jason felt his mood worsen.

He had said it to punish her for turning his mood sour. However, right now, he did not know who he was punishing.

He abruptly released his grip, stood up straight, and coldly said, “Don’t worry. I didn’t do anything to you. Unlike you who clambered all over me and wouldn’t get off.” Grace was at first relieved when she heard the first half of that sentence, but the second half made her heart pound.

“Impossible!” She denied it right away.

He shot her a cold gaze. “Why is it impossible? You were so drunk that you don’t even remember what you did. Shall I help you remember? I can tell you last night about how you pressed me down onto the bed and kissed me.” With every sentence he said, her face flushed a deeper shade of red.

By the time he completed his sentence, her face was indescribably red.

My Gorgeous Wife is an Ex-Convict Chapter 187-Grace hurriedly got down from the bed. “I’ll… go and wash up,” she uttered out before rushing into the washroom.

Jason’s gaze darkened as he watched the back view of Grace running away.

Inside the washroom, Grace looked at her blushing red face and sighed.

She could not bring herself to believe what Jason told her earlier. ‘I… pressed him down and kissed him?

‘How could such a thing happen!’ However, she hesitated. Was it truly impossible? Even she did not know what sort of things her drunk self would do.

‘If what Jason said is true, then I…’ The possibility of that gave her the urge to bury herself alive.

She hurriedly washed up and exited the washroom to find that Jason was still in her house.

Right now, he was sitting on a chair and gently sipping on a cup of water.

He was dressed in a well-tailored suit. He was a man with broad shoulders and a slim waistline. He had one leg elegantly crossed over the other. He had a handsome face with a profound contour and delicate features.

When his eyelids lowered, those lashes fanned out prettily. One could not help imagining his breathtaking appearance if his eyes.

were fully opened.

Such a person was enough to please the eyes even if he was merely sitting there. He looked like a beautifully painted portrait no matter what he did.

Even if he was holding a worthless and ordinary cup, it did not bring down his value nor reduced the aristocratic aura he had within him.

‘Why have I never noticed this in the past!’ Grace chided herself inwardly once again. When Jason lived here with her in the past, she should have noticed that his every movement-the way he ate, his posture, and the subtle hint of his upbringing in his interactions- was not something a vagabond would have.

At the same moment, Jason’s eyelids lifted upward. That pair of exquisitely beautiful peach eyes looked at Grace. All of sudden, she felt as if her whole being was about to sink into his pupils.

“I… I need to get to work.” She broke out from her trance with much difficulty. It was already past nine in the morning, and she was late for work by a few hours.

She was going to get a pay cut and reprimanded when she got to work.

“There is no need to rush. I’ve applied for leave on your behalf,” he said.

She was stunned for a moment. Subsequently, she heard him ask, “By the way, where are my clothes and things that I used to have here? Have you thrown them out?” She pressed her lips but did not say anything.

“Also the pair of gloves that you made for me, have you thrown those out as well?” he stared at her and asked.

She hesitated before replying, “I kept it.” ‘Throw’. It was a wasteful word for her.

“Why didn’t you throw it?” “It’s worth some money… I can still sell it as a second-hand item…” Before she could finish her sentence, his face went completely dark. “You’re so capable of angering someone to death…” Jason glared at Grace for a moment before saying, “Since you haven’t thrown it out, complete the gloves and give them to me.” She was taken aback and stared blankly at him. ‘He doesn’t have any need to put up a show in front of me anymore. That pair of gloves were knitted from threads of an old sweater. Why does he want it? Is he going to wear it?’

My Gorgeous Wife is an Ex-Convict Chapter 188-For someone like him, the gloves he usually wore should be those custommade from a luxury brand!

He watched her blank stare and added, “Consider it as your thank you gift for me releasing those splendid relatives of yours.” She looked embarrassed. “But I no longer have the measurements.” Back then, she had used a measuring tape to measure the size of his hands.

Later, she had no plans of completing the gloves so she threw the paper which recorded those measurements.

“If you’ve lost the measurements, then measure again,” he said directly.

She had no choice but to take out the measuring tape, sit next to him, and measure the size of his hands.

Of course, it was unavoidable for her to be in contact with his hands.

Each time the tip of her fingers came in contact with his hand, she would be careful to avoid touching him as much as she could. She would even carefully hold the measuring tape with two fingers at the edge to carefully measure.

He chuckled at her actions. “Yesterday you were so bold to hug and kiss me, but now it’s as if you’re not willing to touch. me at all. Why? Is touching me such a difficult thing for you to do?” Grace’s face reddened again. “I… I was drunk at that time…” “So you mean to say that you’re not willing to come in contact with me when you’re sober?” he stared at her as he asked.

She paused for a moment and looked into his eyes which seemed to have some hints of mockery. She did not know what to say at that moment.

As for him, he closed his eyes to cover up the shine on his eyes.

“Sis, one day, I will make you touch me willingly. Right now, I will not force you to stay by my side. However, you best believe me. One day, you will beg to stay with me.” That crisp and cold voice plainly spoke words as if he was merely chatting casually, but those words were like a clap of thunder that rumbled in Grace’s ears, making her heart thump in a messy beat.

‘Willingly touch him. Willingly stay by his side.

‘How is that possible?!

‘We are people from different worlds. Furthermore… Jason, these three words… They represent immeasurable pain for 1.

Grace arrived at the Sanitation Service Center in the afternoon.

Claire Watts noticed that Grace looked rather pale and weak, thus she caringly asked if Grace took half a day off because she was feeling unwell. Grace could only force out a smile and say that some issues had cropped up with her family.

Grace did not know what she should feel when she thought about her mission to complete Jason’s gloves.

In the evening, her mother’s familial home called to inform her that her uncle and the rest had been released. They had visited her grandmother as well. Fortunately, her grandmother appeared to have improved slightly.

However, they requested Grace to return home during the weekend as they needed to discuss the condition of her grandmother.

After hanging up, Grace felt heavy-hearted. The only person she was concerned about back at her familial home was her grandmother.

Whatever it was, she had to go back that coming weekend.

Over the next few days, Jason did not appear in front of her.

This made her feel relieved. She continued to work on that half-completed glove based on the measurements of his hands.

Although Jason had not specified a deadline, she wanted to get it done as soon as possible. Unfortunately, she had never knitted gloves, so she was unfamiliar and kept making mistakes.

Once she knitted wrongly, she had to remove a portion and redo it all over again

My Gorgeous Wife is an Ex-Convict Chapter 189-In order to rush her work, Grace simply took her half-knitted gloves and the wool with her. She could knit a little during the afternoon break.

When Claire Watts saw Grace’s knitted gloves, she said curiously, “Are you knitting these for yourself to wear? It seems a little too big, though.” Claire Watts asked, “Is it a gift for someone?” “Uh-huh,” Grace answered.

“This doesn’t look like your size. Are you knitting it for someone else?” Claire Watts guessed.

Grace nodded again.

“You haven’t gotten yourself a boyfriend, have you?” Claire Watts spoke again.

“No.” She hastily denied.

“If you don’t have one, why are you knitting so earnestly? You’re even using your afternoon break to knit.” Claire Watts obviously did not believe her words.

3 Grace could not do anything about it either. What could she say? She could not say that it was because she was knitting this for Jason that she wanted to finish it as soon as possible, right?

If she really said this, she predicted Claire Watts would think.

that her brain had short-circuited.

“Speaking of which, it’s such a shame that Chase Harper is about to have his heart broken.” Claire Watts was a little regretful. “Chase Harper isn’t all that bad actually. He’s got a house, and he’s an honest fellow. Marrying a man like that will ensure a lifetime of stability.” Indeed, if she really married Chase Harper, the rest of her life would indeed be very steady.

Only, when that car accident happened that year, it was destined that she would not be fated with ‘steadiness’ in this lifetime.

Grace hoped Chase Harper would be able to find a woman who could truly love and care for him for the rest of their lives.

“Still, I heard someone say that it seems Chase Harper wants to resign. I don’t know if it’s true or not. The work in this Sanitation Service Center is admittedly a little low-grade, but Chase Harper is lucky to have a permanent position. When others want to find a job that has been budgeted for, it’s not so easy.” Grace stilled. “Chase Harper wants to resign?” “That’s what I heard,” Claire Watts muttered. “It’s a permanent position that others can’t get even if they beg for it, yet he actually wants to resign. It feels a little impossible.” Grace’s brain was a little muddled up.

Was Chase Harper’s desire to resign related to her? Was it because of the things she said to him that night? Was it because she had dissed him for not having money?

Her original intention was only to make him not waste any more time on her, but if he was really quitting his job… Grace did not ponder on it any longer and got up immediately. She headed to the office of the transportation fleet to look for him.

When she found Chase Harper, he was in the middle of a hand over with the people in the transportation fleet.

“Can we talk alone for a while?” Grace opened her mouth and asked.

Chase Harper glanced at Grace, then muttered a few sentences to the colleague by his side. He turned to Grace to say, “Alright then.

Let’s talk in my office.” Here in the Sanitation Service Center, Chase Harper had an office to himself.

Grace nodded, then walked into the office after Chase Harper. “You’re going to resign?” she asked directly.

Chase Harper stilled, then immediately seemed a little ill at ease as he scratched his head. “Even you know of this matter now. Uh-huh, I am planning to quit. I’ve handed my resignation letter to the superintendent.” “Is it because of what I said that night? Actually, you don’t have to mind what I said. Your job now in the transportation fleet is a very good one. Moreover, if your qualifications grow in the future, you can even go up in ranks,” she said.

My Gorgeous Wife is an Ex-Convict Chapter 190-“But no matter how much my qualifications grow, I still can’t catch your eye, right?” he asked.

In an instant, it seemed that something had been stuffed into Grace’s mouth.

Chase Harper gave a self-deprecating laugh immediately after. “Actually, before you said those things, I had already thought of changing my job. After all, working in the Sanitation Service Center, you can predict the rest of your life with just one look. I want to take the chance while I’m still not yet 30 to give myself more of a challenge.” A challenge? If the Grace from before had been given a choice of an unknown life full of challenges or a steady one that could be fully predicted with just one glance, she was afraid she would have chosen the former.

Only after experiencing so many things did she know that stability was actually the most important.

Grace took a deep breath and said, “Actually, what I said to you that day, you really don’t have to mind it too much. I only didn’t want you to spend more time on me. I don’t have those kinds of feelings for you at all, so there’s no way I can be with you.” She paused, then enunciated every single word clearly, “If I truly love you, then even if you are at rock-bottom, I will still choose to be with you. But since I don’t, even if you soar above the ranks, I still won’t be with you.” Despair flashed across Chase Harper’s face before he smiled. “Is that so?

When you put it that way, it’s really as I thought… I didn’t peg you wrong. I knew it. How can the person I like be so materialistic?” “Then are you still quitting?” Grace did not want him to lose his stable job because of her.

“Going out into the world to try and make my mark is a wish I always had,” Chase Harper said earnestly. His expression had no anger whatsoever. “No matter whether or not I can succeed in the future, at least I won’t have any regrets in this life, right?” Seeing Chase Harper’s determined expression, Grace knew there would not be any use talking to him anymore, so she said, “In that case… I wish you success.” “Thank you!” he said.

When Grace was about to leave, Chase Harper said, “Grace, you’re a good woman. It’s my misfortune that I can’t make you like me. I don’t need any of your guilt either. My resignation has nothing to do with you. It’s just my hope that I can provide a better life for the person I love in the future.” After leaving Chase Harper, Grace felt like her heart was blocked. It was like an unspeakable uneasiness.

Two days later, Chase Harper left the Sanitation Service Center. The Sanitation Service Center even organized a da farewell party with everyone for Chase Harper. They had a meal out.

Grace joined the meal too. After that, Chase Harper even paid from his own pocket and invited everyone to a karaoke session.

When they parted ways, Chase Harper said, “Grace, can you let me send you back this once? From now on, I won’t have any chance to do so anymore.” Grace agreed. This time, she did not refuse.

Chase Harper’s car was at the gates of the neighborhood. Grace got down and said to Chase Harper, “See you.” Chase Harper hesitated a while before saying, “See you.” These were two simple words, but they implied so much meaning.

This chase was fated to have no results from the start, but at this moment, Chase Harper did not have any feelings of regret.

This woman lived a life that was much bumpier than he actually thought. Those kinds of highs and lows had few who could withstand it, but she was like the wintersweet flower after a harsh winter-no matter how devastating the winds. were, in the end, her own fragrance would fill the air.

Her beauty came inadvertently. It was not eye-catching, yet it was still so attractive. It was like being treated warmly by her could warm the soul too.

Actually, he really wanted to ask whether or not she already had someone she loved. If she did, then who was the person she loved?

He did not know why, but when this question was at his throat, that man he met before who called her ‘sis’ flashed through.

his mind.

That man’s attitude toward her did not seem like they were siblings. It was like they were lovers, not allowing others to get involved.
