Ch. 251..260
My Gorgeous Wife is an Ex-Convict Chapter 251-Right now, Evelyn could only focus all her hate on Grace. If it had not been for Grace, she would not have suffered such humiliation today!
It was all Grace’s fault! Sooner or later, she would get even with Grace!
Evelyn bitterly said in her heart, but in reality, she could only kneel. After all, she could not afford to offend Jason. Plus, Brian was her backer now, so she could not fight with Brian.
She even wanted to be Brian’s last girlfriend.
It was only when she knelt in front of Grace that Grace slightly frowned. She stepped back a couple of paces and turned to the director who looked rather frightened. She said, “Sorry, Director. I’m afraid I can’t take part in today’s scene. You don’t need to pay me. I’m leaving.” “Alright…” the director responded with a shudder.
Grace headed straight for the dressing room, ready to change out of her costume. Jason followed her.
As Brian looked back at Jason and Grace, a sharp glint flashed across his phoenix eyes.
When Evelyn saw them leave, she wanted to get up and put an end to the kneeling and groveling.
However, Brian lightly said, “Go on, I didn’t let you finish.
What’s the hurry?” Stunned, Evelyn looked at Brian and saw that his expression was serious. He wanted her to get down on her knees to continued and grovel.
If Jason asked her to do this to stand up for Grace, what about Brian? Was he standing up for Grace, too?
At the thought of this possibility, Evelyn felt an unstoppable panic. The feeling was far greater than the fear she had felt in the face of Jason.
Countless eyes were fixed on her. Evelyn looked at Brian, but he showed no signs of changing his mind, so she continued kneeling.
The only thing that made her feel better was that at least she no longer had to kneel in front of Grace.
However, Brian took out a bracelet and hung his head low to play with it. It was as if Evelyn who was kneeling on the ground was just a mass of air in his eyes. He only had this bracelet in his eyes. It was as if it was all he had… When Grace arrived in the dressing room, she was stopped by Jason. “Why did you leave? Why, you don’t like the sight of your so-called ‘sister’ kneeling before you?” “I have no interest in that,” Grace said. Just because Evelyn enjoyed watching her kneel did not mean that she also enjoyed watching others kneel before her.
“Have you vent out your anger today? If that’s not enough, I can take it out for you again. What do you want Evelyn to do? You can tell me,” Jason said, raising his eyebrows slightly.
“Why are you standing up for me?” she asked curiously.
“Because you’re my Sis.” He smiled as if she had asked an idiotic question. “You’ve been bullied, so of course I’m standing up for you.” Sis? The way he called her ‘sis’ only made her feel more annoyed.
“There’s no need. I don’t need anyone to stand up for me,” she said, turning and entering the dressing room.
Even if he had stood up for her this time, what about next time?
If she just relied on others, then one day she might not be able to rely on them anymore. When that day came, the blow would be overwhelming.
My Gorgeous Wife is an Ex-Convict Chapter 252-When she and Sean Stevens were together, Sean Stevens would always stand up for her if there was any trouble.
As a result, she thought she could depend on this man for the rest of her life. When it came to sticking up for her, however, she realized that his so-called feelings for her were things.
that could be taken back anytime.
When she suddenly did not have anyone to stand up for her, the kind of despair she experienced could kill anyone.
While she was being tortured in prison, she had, on several occasions, been so desperate that she considered suicide.
If… If Lina had not come to see her and encouraged her often, perhaps… she would already be dead by now.
Her heart was filled with deep gratitude when she thought of her best friend.
Grace sighed, unbuttoned her costume, and was about to take it off when she heard footsteps behind her.
She was shocked and looked back to see that Jason had entered the dressing room.
There was no one in the dressing room because they filming outside, but… “This is the women’s dressing room, you… You get out,” she said with her face slightly flushed.
However, he moved even closer and closer to her. He said, “What are you afraid of?” Afraid? She was startled and retreated one step, two steps… However, the further she retreated, the closer he came. It continued until her back was against the closet in the dressing room. There was no more space for her to escape from him.
His hands pressed against the closet door, holding her between him and it. “Why are you afraid of me standing up for you?” He did not understand this. With any other woman, they would have been glad for him to stand up for them, but when it came to her, it seemed to be an exception.
Grace put her hands subconsciously against Jason’s chest. “You go out first, someone will come in soon.” “No one will come in,” he said with great certainty.
“Why are you so sure that no one will come in?” she said as she glared at him.
“Because no one can get in,” he said. “This door is guarded by my bodyguard.
Do you think anyone will come in?” She was dumbstruck. She did not even notice that he was accompanied by a bodyguard.
“Tell me, why are you afraid?” He asked the same question again, his long fingers slightly pushing the hair away from her cheek.
She had makeup on her face, and it made her look better than usual. However, it did not suit her very well. He could even smell the fragrance of the powder when he got closer.
He liked her bare-faced look more. He preferred the natural faint fragrance from her body. It was more pleasant to smell.
Only her almond-shaped eyes looked almost the same even after having applied makeup. The way she stared at him made him feel that she was adorable.
She bit her lip and lowered her eyes as she denied. “I’m not afraid.” His fingers gently grabbed her chin, forcing her eyes to look at him. “I asked why, not if you are.” In other words, he was convinced that she was afraid.
Grace’s heart quivered. Did he see through her fear?
Those extremely beautiful and deep eyes looked as if they could see through her.
My Gorgeous Wife is an Ex-Convict Chapter 253-“For fear of it becoming a habit,” Grace said, somewhat embarrassed. “Some things may become a habit after many times. When you’re no longer able to rely on that, they become despair instead.” “Why, were you desperate before?” he asked casually.
She took a deep breath, looked into his eyes, and finally stopped hiding. “Yes, I was desperate.” His pupils froze slightly. The faint smile on his face also slowly faded away.
“Can you go out now? I want to change,” Grace said.
However, Jason did not back off. His dark eyes were still staring at her, and his fingers were stroking her cheek as if he was thinking of something.
After a moment, he muttered, “Will you be afraid if I say that it has already become a habit and that it’ll never change?” Grace stared at the face close to her, not knowing what to say for a moment. She felt as if her heart was violently beating right now.
In the dressing room, Grace blushed and changed her clothes. Although Jason had gone out, she felt as though her face could still feel the touch of his fingers.
In the end, she had not replied to his question. If it had become a habit, it would always be so… What did he mean? Would he stand up for her all his life?
A man like him would never bother to lie, so he must be thinking the same thing as he was saying it.
However, what about later? Who would know? He had never been one for her to speculate on.
‘It was better not to have any… habits.’ Grace said to herself in her mind.
Jason stood by the door of the dressing room. His eyes were drooping low as if he was thinking about something, and his bodyguards stood behind him.
Suddenly, the bodyguard shivered as he looked to the left. He only saw a figure coming this way.
Of course, the bodyguard also recognized the man. It was Brian, the crown prince of the entertainment industry and a friend of Young Master Reed. Therefore, the bodyguard did not move but just stood in the same spot.
Brian walked up to Jason and said, “Did you come here today to stand up for her?” Jason slowly lifted his head and looked at the person in front of him, smirking.
“So what if I did? What a coincidence to see you here.” Coincidence? Brian smiled faintly. Knowing that Jason was here today, he guessed that Grace would be here too. That was why he had hurried over to see what would happen.
Sure enough, he saw a good show.
Even though he did not say it, Jason had probably guessed it.
“I don’t care if you happen to be here by coincidence or on purpose, but ‘she’- you can’t touch. ‘She’ is mine,” Jason said lazily. He looked indifferent, but there was some kind of seriousness in his eyes.
“Do you care that much about this woman?” Brian asked blandly.
“Yes, I do.” He confessed matter-of-factly, surprising Jason’s bodyguard. Young Master Reed just said that he cared about a woman. He… had never heard Young Master Reed say that before.
Young Master Reed had never said he ‘cared’ about Jennifer Atkinson, Young Master Reed’s previous fiancée.
Brian had a slight surprise in his eyes. After years of knowing each other, he knew how hard it was to get the word ‘care’ out of Jason’s mouth.
My Gorgeous Wife is an Ex-Convict Chapter 254-“Well, then I won’t touch her,” Brian said. “She’s not the one I’m looking for, anyway.” However, it was hard to deny that she looked a lot like the person he was looking for. Sometimes, when he looked at her, he imagined that she was what that person would grow up to look like.
Nevertheless, she just looked like her. She was not her.
“What if she’s the one you’re looking for? Will you do something then?” Jason asked, raising his eyebrows.
Brian’s face remained still, but his phoenix eyes seemed to be rippling with something no one could see even if they wanted to. “If she is, I won’t let go even if I have to compete against you.” Jason squinted. “So it’s a good thing she’s not, right?” “Yes. Fortunately, she’s not,” Brian said and turned away.
Fortunately, she was not her. If she really was, then it would probably be difficult to deal with.
Brian thought and unconsciously reached into his pocket to feel for the bracelet. How long would it take before he found her?
Finding her had almost become an obsession.
When Grace walked out of the dressing room, there was no one outside except Jason and a bodyguard.
“Are you done?” Jason saw that Grace was now wearing her usual clothes with her hair in a normal ponytail. She had removed her makeup and her face was now bare, but it looked so much more flattering.
“Yes,” Grace responded.
“Let’s go, then,” Jason said, naturally reaching out to grab Grace’s hand.
She withdrew her hand almost subconsciously.
He raised his eyebrows slightly, his black eyes fixed on her. “Why, you don’t want to?” “I… can walk by myself.” “I prefer to hold your hand,” Jason said, reaching out again to grab her hand. “Sis can’t go anywhere if I hold you like that.” His chatty tone struck a shudder through her heart.
It was as if he had woven a dense web around her to take control of her life.
She did not want her future life to involve a man like him. She could not see through people like him, let alone figure out what was in his mind.
If she accidentally annoyed him, her fate then would probably worse than her three years in jail.
Grace wanted to pull her hand out of his fingers.
Her hand had only moved a little before his fingers clasped hers more tightly.
“Oh,” she exclaimed. Her eyebrows could not help but furrow together. She felt a pain on the back of her hand.
“Did I hurt you?” he said softly, his fingers slightly loosening. He had placed his fingers on the back of her hand, forgetting that there was a wound there that was not completely healed.
She bit her lip slightly. “It’s all right. You can let go of me now.”
My Gorgeous Wife is an Ex-Convict Chapter 255-However, he refused to listen. Instead, he pulled her hand closer and looked down at the faint bruising on the back of her hand.
Then, he brought the back of her hand close to his lips and gave it a gentle puff.
Grace gasped, only to see Jason blowing it seriously with his head low.
“It won’t hurt so much after I blow it,” he muttered. Then, he gently rubbed the bruise on the back of her hand with his fingertips, blowing and rubbing with a focused gaze.
Grace felt as though her heart was beating very violently at the moment, and her throat seemed to be so jammed that she could not say a word.
If it was Jason who did this, she would think she had a caring brother, but it was Jason… She was overwhelmed.
As for Jason’s bodyguard who was standing behind him, his eyes widened at the sight of this. When… had he ever seen Young Master Reed treat a woman like that?
Perhaps it would not be long before the entire Emerald City would know her name!
“Feeling any better?” A gentle magnetic voice rang.
“It’s… better,” Grace said, trying to withdraw her hand for the third time.
However, his fingers were firmly around her wrist. He carefully avoided the bruise on the back of her hand. “Be good if you know it hurts, or I’ll hurt you again if I’m not careful.” Grace’s face flushed a little. His voice sounded as though it carried some ambiguous feelings.
Therefore, she could only be led by him to his Bentley.
The driver opened the door respectfully, and Jason and Grace got on.
“There’s still time today. We don’t need to go back so early. Is there any place you want to see?” Jason asked.
Grace shook her head. There was nowhere she would want to go with him by her side.
“Then let’s find a place nearby. By the way, I remember when Sis used to take me to those night markets and malls.” Jason chuckled.
‘That was one of the most idiotic things she had ever done!’ Grace said to herself. She thought about the time when she scrimped and saved to buy clothes and a mobile phone for him. As it turned out, he was not lacking these at all.
Was she a joke to him at the time?
Jason asked his driver to park in front of a nearby shopping mall that Grace recognized as the one they had visited together before.
Back then, he said he had just gotten his paycheck. Then, they found a restaurant in the mall and went in for a meal. She thought of helping him to save as much money as possible, but now that she thought about it, it was unnecessary.
Right now, Jason was taking her to the same restaurant again.
“You want to go in and get something to eat?” he asked.
She bit her lip slightly and said, “Alright!” He went in first.
They found a place to sit, and when the waiter handed over the menu, Grace took it and ordered a variety of expensive dishes on it.
The waiter quickly recorded all the dishes. Even the waiter could not help but frown. This… This was too much. These two Jason, on the other hand, smirked as he watched Grace ordering dishes. He was looking at her with a fondness in his eyes that he did not even know existed.
Grace ordered more than 20 dishes at one go. When she looked up, she saw Jason’s smiling and amorous eyes.
My Gorgeous Wife is an Ex-Convict Chapter 256-There were ripples in his eyes, and they revealed some sort of gentleness that seemed to say he could put up with her no matter what she did.
The light in his eyes and the smile at the corners of his lips were indescribably beautiful.
Grace suddenly realized that she was being silly. Even though she had ordered all the dishes on the menu, it was still nothing to Jason.
What was wrong with her? She was taking out her anger in such a silly way.
Frustrated, Grace dispiritedly handed the menu back to the waiter and said, “That’s all.” “Is that all?” Jason said with a smile.
Grace bit her lip for a moment before saying, “That’s all.” “Can you finish them? There are enough for seven or eight of you. Isn’t it a little too much for you two?” the waiter said tactfully.
Jason lightly said, “That’s all for now.” The waiter took the menu and left.
Jason looked at Grace and said, “If Sis thinks that’s not enough, then you can order some more later.” His indulgent tone made her heart leap again.
“I was fooling around just now. I better change the order and get rid of some dishes.” Grace hesitated and got up to find the waiter who helped them place the order.
However, Jason stopped Grace’s hand abruptly and said, “There’s no need for that. Why get rid of the dishes you like?” “I don’t want to waste food,” Grace said.
Jason seemed a little surprised.
“Maybe the money for this meal doesn’t mean anything to you, but I… don’t want to waste these dishes by not eating them after ordering.” Grace bit her lip slightly.
In the past, she had always ordered a lot of her favorite foods in one meal, but only tasted a little of everything. Then, she would talk about staying in shape, saying things like how she could not eat too much and that she had to lose weight.
However, when her life got turned upside down, she found that it was not easy to get a full meal.
While in prison, she finished every meal for eating was the basis of living.
Sometimes, even when there was food maliciously left on the floor, she had to pick the scraps off and eat as much as she could. If she was unlucky and the meal was rendered inedible by ‘pranks, she would have to go hungry and wait for the next meal.
On another occasion, she had gotten maliciously teased for two days. She did not eat for two days and could only drink. water. At that time, she realized the real fear of hunger.
After being released from prison, she never wasted a meal and always finished what she should.
People were always like this. They would only cherish food after suffering the pain of hunger.
Jason stared steadily at Grace. After a moment, he said, “All right, then we’ll do as you say.” Jason called the waiter and canceled the ones the kitchen had not started on, leaving only three dishes and one soup.
When the dishes arrived, Jason offered to help Grace set the tableware.
Grace picked up her chopsticks and looked at the food on the table. She never thought that a day like this would come when she would bring him here again for dinner.
Suddenly, her stomach gave an untimely growl. It was only then did Grace notice that she was actually a little hungry.
With her head down, she began to eat.
Jason, on the other hand, only stared at Grace.
My Gorgeous Wife is an Ex-Convict Chapter 257-Perhaps his gaze was so direct and unabashed that Grace could not help looking up at Jason. She asked him, “Aren’t you going to eat?” “I am. I just want to watch you eat for a while first. I find the food more appetizing when I watch you eat,” he said.
“…” She suddenly felt speechless. What did he mean by that?
“Every time I watch you eat, the food looks more delicious,” he muttered.
“That’s because you’ve never tried being hungry,” she said with a faint smile. “If you haven’t eaten for days, even if it’s just white rice in water, you’ll find it delicious.” His eyes froze. “Have you ever been hungry?” “Well, yes,” she said lightly. What had been a matter of life and death back then seemed to turn into a casual topic right now.
His thin lips tightened. “Was it in prison?” “Yes,” she replied.
Then, neither of them spoke anymore. She lowered her head and continued eating while his eyes remained firmly fixed on her.
She was still wearing those cheap clothes today. She lowered her head with a few strands of hair by her cheek.
With her thin neck and thin body, she was now thinner than the photos in the data he had collected of her before she went to prison. She looked as if the wind would blow her away.
Now, she was eating with her head down. Every bite was taken with such earnestness.
It was her earnestness that made him feel sour and sad.
If he had known that he was going to meet her and end up caring for her, he would never have let her suffer in prison!
Back then… He would not have let her go to jail for a crime like that!
Jason lowered his head and ate the food in front of him, but when it reached his mouth, the food suddenly seemed to turn a little astringent.
After the meal, Grace said, “I’m going to the washroom.” “I’ll go with you,” he said.
Grace was rendered speechless. Did she need someone to accompany her to the washroom?
It reminded her of her old school days when girls used to go to the washroom in groups.
Now, he wanted to go with her?
Jason was just standing outside the washroom a few meters away when they reached the washroom’s entrance.
Grace was relieved. She was afraid that he would go ahead and book all the mall’s washrooms so that he could go inside with her.
Grace went into the washroom and when she finished, she went to the washstand to wash her hands. Suddenly, a voice rang beside her. “Hmm, isn’t this… Grace? You’re at the mall to shop too?” Grace looked up to see Andrea Schwartz, her former law firm colleague.
In the beginning, she and Andrea Schwartz had joined the firm in the same batch. She and Andrea Schwartz got along well. Andrea Schwartz often cared about her and tried to gain her friendship.
When she got into that accident, however, Andrea Schwartz stopped caring about her.
Grace was somewhat awkward meeting her old colleague.
“I read in the newspaper that Lily and your ex-boyfriend Sean Stevens visited the sanitation service workers at the Sanitation Service Center to give the staff gifts. It seems there were also pictures of you wearing a sanitation service worker’s uniform. Are you working as a sanitation service worker now?” Andrea Schwartz said as if she was full of concern.
My Gorgeous Wife is an Ex-Convict Chapter 258-However, many people in Emerald City now knew that Lily and Sean Stevens were engaged and would soon get married. Andrea Schwartz, when mentioning Sean Stevens, mentioned ‘ex-boyfriend’ as if it was a conscious reminder of something.
Grace stared at Andrea Schwartz, suddenly understanding something.
There was a flash of discomfort in Andrea Schwartz’s face as Grace stared at her. She was looking at Andrea Schwartz as though she could see right through her.
However, she told herself, ‘So what if she can see through me? Grace is no longer the rising star in the industry’ She had joined the firm together with Grace back then, but the person everybody laid eyes on was Grace only.
The colleagues in the office all used to say that Grace was going to be a big lawyer soon because she was doing great in her career and love life.
When Andrea Schwartz made mistakes at work, her mentor in the firm would ask her to be more like Grace. This made her indignant, but she was helpless.
Grace was like a mountain on her head. As long as Grace was in the firm, the others would always compare both of them who were in the same batch.
She, in turn, would forever live in Grace’s shadow.
Then, when Grace had her accident, Andrea Schwartz was happy about it. She even thought that God was helping her by causing something to happen to Grace.
Sure enough, after Grace went to prison, everybody stopped comparing her with Grace.
“Grace, don’t mind about it. I just care about you. It must be hard being a sanitation service worker,” Andrea Schwartz said with fake sympathy.
“It’s all right. It’s not that hard,” Grace said. At least being a sanitation service worker was a lot better than being in prison.
“How can it not be hard? As a sanitation service worker, you have to sweep the floor and tidy up rubbish bins every day. People say that sanitation service workers smell bad after being one for too long,” Andrea Schwartz said, obviously thinking that Grace was lying.
As Andrea Schwartz spoke, there was an unmistakable sense of disdain in her eyes.
“You can stay away from me if you think I smell,” Grace said. bluntly.
Andrea Schwartz’s expression stiffened before smiling. “We’re colleagues. How can I despise you? By the way, you can come back to the law firm whenever you’re free! Everybody misses you,” Andrea Schwartz sounded as though she was making a passionate invitation, but in reality, the words struck a sharp blow at Grace’s heart, It was her dream to become a lawyer, and when she realized it, she dreamt of a day when she could become a real virtuous. lawyer in the legal field. She wanted to strive for justice in her heart.
However, that dream had shattered long ago.
Andrea Schwartz saw the faint flash in Grace’s eyes and felt more energized.
“By the way, I have a boyfriend now. He’s a doctor, and he’s out waiting for me.
Shall I introduce him to you later?”
My Gorgeous Wife is an Ex-Convict Chapter 259-“No,” Grace said lightly. “I have a friend waiting for me outside too, so I have to go soon.” “Hey, take it easy.” Andrea Schwartz added. “You don’t have a boyfriend now, do you? My boyfriend is a professor at the university and knows a lot of people.
Why don’t you let him introduce you to a few men?” She said as she followed Grace out of the washroom.
Then, Andrea Schwartz called out to a man of medium build standing outside the washroom. He promptly came over.
Grace looked at the approaching man. He looked average in appearance but was a little older, looking like he was in his late 40s. Obviously, this was Andrea Schwartz’s boyfriend.
“Banghe, this is my ex-colleague, Grace. I happened to run into her in the washroom just now,” Andrea Schwartz said. She added. “Grace, this is my boyfriend, Tyler Barber. He is a professor at Yuren University.” Andrea Schwartz sounded ostentatious.
It was Tyler Barber who hastened to correct her. “I’m only an associate professor, not a professor.” “In two years you’ll be a professor,” Andrea Schwartz said disapprovingly. She then asked Grace, “Didn’t you say your friend is waiting for you outside? Where are they?” Grace looked up and did not see Jason.
‘Did he leave first?’ she wondered in her mind.
Andrea Schwartz thought Grace had only said that as an excuse, so she said, “Why don’t we find somewhere to sit? We’ll let my boyfriend see if he has someone in mind for you. He used to say that marriage is a big problem for some of the workers in the logistics department at his university. There should be someone your age there.” Andrea Schwartz seemed somewhat embarrassed as she said, “You don’t mind going on a blind date with workers, do you? I want to introduce you to some of the single lecturers at Banghe’s university, but you know those lecturers will usually ask for someone with a clean record. You might have a problem with that, but rest assured, although their logistics workers aren’t that well paid and less educated, they’re hardworking and don’t have much to do with others.” Grace looked at her as she said all that and found it funny. She had never said anything about wanting to go on a date, but Andrea Schwartz seemed to think that she desperately wanted to.
“I don’t want any blind dates.” Grace rebuffed.
Andrea Schwartz’s eyes widened, and she stared at Grace in disbelief. “You don’t mind me introducing you to a logistics worker, do you? Grace, it’s not me. You’re not the same as you were back then. You’ve got to ask for less. If you don’t go on blind dates at your age now…” “Why, is someone setting you up on a blind date?” A voice suddenly rang in Grace’s ear, and it seemed to make Andrea Schwartz’s voice stuck in her throat.
Jason, who was wearing a trench coat, walked over to Grace and passed her a glass of milk tea. “I heard you say that you want to try this brand of milk tea. I saw it just now, so I went to get you one. See if you like it. If you don’t, we’ll go and get another one you like later.” Grace took the milk tea, which was warm, and held it in her hands. It warmed her hands up a bit.
She glanced at the brand name on the milk tea. She saw it on the news that the milk tea store had come to Emerald City, so she mentioned to him that the milk tea was quite famous on the internet.
My Gorgeous Wife is an Ex-Convict Chapter 260-However, she could not foresee that the next time they met, he would no longer be just Jason, but rather Jason.
She did not expect him to remember something she had said back then.
“Grace… Who is he?” Andrea Schwartz asked, staring at Jason in shock.
The man who looked regal and elegant was Grace’s… friend?! It was strange to think that this was possible!
Before Grace spoke, Jason said, “Is this woman going to set you up on a blind date? Didn’t you tell her you already had me?” Andrea Schwartz gasped.
This man… Was he Grace’s friend? Maybe even… her boyfriend?!
His appearance alone could beat Sean Stevens, not to mention her associate professor boyfriend!
Thinking of this, Andrea Schwartz looked at Tyler Barber.
Originally, she had been quite satisfied with her boyfriend.
Although he was 10 years older than her, he was an associate professor. He could be a professor in a few years.
However, compared to Grace’s… friend, Andrea Schwartz suddenly felt that her boyfriend was not that presentable.
Grace was now stunned by Jason’s words.
Tyler Barber took the initiative to say to Jason, “My girlfriend didn’t know that her friend has a boyfriend. Sorry about that. My name is Tyler Barber. This is my girlfriend, Andrea Schwartz.” “My name is Yi.” Jason, on the other hand, simply gave his last name and left his first name out.
Tyler Barber did not care about it and said, “Mr. Reed, I’m truly sorry for causing this misunderstanding. Why don’t we all find someplace to sit down and have a chat?” “Sure,” Jason replied. He then said to Grace, “Let’s find a place where you can sit and drink your milk tea.” Grace felt a little strange. Jason was not a sociable person. Why did he agree to sit with the others?
In the meantime, Jason had taken her hand.
Eventually, the four reached a cafe. Tyler Barber offered the menu to Jason and Grace. “You can take a look and see what you want to order.” “The coffee here is pretty good.” Andrea Schwartz introduced as if she was the host. “The coffee beans here are carefully selected by the cafe owner. The most famous one is Hawaii’s Kona. There are fewer and fewer Kona beans these days. You used to love coffee, right? Do you want to try a cup of Kona?” Grace lowered her eyes and lightly said, “No, I’m fine with my milk tea.” Meanwhile, Jason glanced thoughtfully at Grace.
“If you’re afraid that the coffee is too expensive, my boyfriend and I will treat you this time. It’s just a cup of coffee anyway,” Andrea Schwartz said it nicely, but it was obvious that she was just showing her superiority.
Jason smiled and said, “Grace wants milk tea, so I’ll try the cup of Kona instead.” “Of course… Sure.” Andrea Schwartz almost fell for Jason’s smile.
She quickly gathered herself together but was jealous that Grace’s boyfriend was so handsome. How on earth did Grace find a boyfriend like that after losing Sean Stevens?
