Ch. 271..280
My Gorgeous Wife is an Ex-Convict Chapter 271-Her nose became sore, and the tears that had stopped for a moment came rushing back.
“If you want to cry, then just cry, Sis.” His fingertips brushed over her eyes.
The word ‘sis’ acted like a key, releasing all the pain and sorrow that had been repressed and locked up in her heart.
Unable to contain her overwhelming emotions right now, Grace let out a sharp wail and finally burst into tears.
She had not cried so bitterly for a long time. She realized a long time ago that no matter how loudly she wept or how much tears.
she shed that it would be useless. She had nothing to rely on but herself. Those tears were nothing but worthless things.
Now, hearing him call her ‘sis’ made her think of her mother, of the brother in her belly who had taken shape but never made it out to call her ‘sis’ If her mother and brother had not died, would she be less lonely? Would she be given the chance to have a real family?
Grace’s crying took Jason by surprise. If he was distressed by her biting her lip and weeping in silence, then right now he was so overwhelmed that he did not even know what to do.
As she burst into tears, he froze as if every nerve in his body had been frozen too.
He had never felt so helpless. Even when his mother left him and his father froze to death in the snow, he did not feel as bad as he was feeling at this moment.
While facing the crying Grace, he felt like ice and fire.
He wished she would not be in such pain, but his body was so stiff that he could not react.
Just then, she plunged her head into his arms. With her face buried in his chest, she kept crying.
The tears, soaking through the fabric of his chest, seemed to have penetrated into his body. Her salty tears went along with the flow of his blood and rushed to his heart.
After a while, Jason raised his stiff hand and hugged her gingerly.
If she was so depressed and miserable, she could cry, but… she could only cry in front of him. He did not want others to see her crying in this sad and fragile state.
His desire to possess her was only deepening over time.
When the car arrived at the Reed Residence, the driver got out respectfully, but Jason remained seated. He Just Helt arms, allowing her to cry to her heart’s content.
No one knew how long she had been crying for, but she finally stopped. He lowered his head to see that she had cried herself to sleep.
There were tears all over her face, and her eyes were red and swollen from crying. In addition to that, her hands were both wrapped in white gauze.
She looked so pitiful.
Suddenly, there was the sound of a cell phone ringing. It was Grace’s phone that was in her pocket. Jason looked at the words on the screen that spelled out, ‘Lina Sweeney’. He frowned slightly and pressed the answer button.
“Hello, Grace? Why aren’t you at home today? Are you working overtime?” Lina Sweeney’s voice came from the other end of the phone.
“She doesn’t live there now, and she’s asleep. If you need anything, call back tomorrow,” Jason said in a low voice, worried of waking the one who had fallen asleep in his arms.
My Gorgeous Wife is an Ex-Convict Chapter 272-Lina Sweeney was shocked. She did not expect to hear a man’s voice from the other end of the call. Besides, it sounded like… “Are you… Jason?” she asked breathlessly.
“Yes,” he answered and hung up.
Lina Sweeney stared at the phone in her hand. If Grace was asleep and it was Jason who answered her phone… Did that mean that Jason was now with her best friend?
Plus, if Grace was not living in her rented house, where was she now? Lina Sweeney looked away from her phone to the closed door of the rented house.
Could it be that… Grace was now living with Jason?
Was life truly so magical?
Meanwhile, Jason put away Grace’s phone. He gingerly lifted the person asleep in his arms and got out of the car.
He took off his coat and covered her body in case she caught at cold.
As he made his way inside, the servants could not hide their surprise at the sight in front of them. Although they suspected that Miss Cummins was a special guest to be able to move into Reed Residence, they had never seen Young Master Reed treat a woman with such care and tenderness.
It was almost as if he was holding a rare treasure. Not even the slightest sound was allowed along the way as he did not want to wake her up.
Uncle Kwan, the housekeeper, had watched the little young master grow up. He had a complicated twinkle in his eyes when he saw him treat a woman so gently.
When the young master took the little young master’s mother to Reed Residence, he was also gentle and careful, but in the end, he lost his life.
Sometimes, it would be a tragedy when one showered another with too much affection.
What about the little young master? Would he put all his feelings on Miss Cummins like the young master? After all, the little young master had never done this to a woman before, not even to Miss Atkinson.
Uncle Kwan feared that the little young master would love this woman too much, causing another tragedy in the future.
Jason went back to Grace’s bedroom with Grace in his arms. Pushing the door open, he carefully placed her on the bed and helped her take off her shoes and coat.
There were dry tears on her face. Even when she was asleep, both of her pretty eyebrows were frowning as if they were still absorbed in sorrow.
Even though she had fallen asleep, she still held the half-burnt photo album tightly in her embrace. It took him a while before he finally managed to take the photo album out of her arms. Her two hands wrapped in gauze stung his eyes.
“It’s just a photo album. Why are you being such a fool?” he muttered.
Even if this photo album was her mother’s photo album, there was no need to fight so hard for one photo album. If the fire had burned her, she would be suffering far more than she was now.
He gently took her hand and kissed her fingertips which were tightly wrapped in gauze. “It must have hurt when you burnt yourself. I want to bear the pain for you…” For the first time, he wanted to bear the pain for someone.
Jason tucked Grace under the covers and watched her sleeping face with a giddy feeling… Grace only felt as if she was in a long, long dream. She was a young kid again with her mother by her side. She dreamed of her old memories that she barely even remembered.
Gradually, however, the dream started turning into a nightmare. Her mother had a miscarriage, and her brother who had already taken shape in her mother’s belly was cold and could not move.
My Gorgeous Wife is an Ex-Convict Chapter 273-No… No!
She wanted her mother, she wanted her brother!
She cried desperately only to find that she could not make a sound.
Just then, a bell rang as if to pull her out of the nightmare… Grace slowly opened her eyes. She heard a graceful voice in her ear. “You’re awake?” A pretty face bumped into her somewhat faraway eyes, and the bright eyes seemed to hold an indescribable gentleness within them.
“Yes…” she replied dully, not yet back to her senses.
It was as if her dreams and grasp on reality were constantly interlacing. It was overwhelming her.
“You answer the phone then,” he said, holding the phone to her ear.
Grace froze as she listened to a familiar voice coming from her cell phone.
“Grace? Are you awake, Grace?” Grace suddenly sobered a little. “Lina!” “Yes, where are you now? Are you with Jason? I called you last night, and he answered the phone. When I called you again just now, he answered the phone too.” Lina Sweeney was speechless. Who would have thought that Jason would pick up both her calls to Grace?
“You called last night?” Grace said in surprise.
“Yes, he said you were asleep,” Lina Sweeney said. “What’s going on here? Do you live together? What’s going on between you and him?” A series of questions sprang out of Lina Sweeney’s mouth.
Grace bit her lip slightly and looked at Jason who was holding her phone. “It’s… It’s a little complicated. I’ll tell you the next time we meet. What… What do you want to talk to me about?” “One of the witnesses in your case might be in the neighboring S City, and I wanted to talk to you about it,” Lina Sweeney said.
Grace was stunned and quickly said, “All right, then… Then when are you free?
Let’s meet up!” “Let’s meet up today after I get off work,” Lina Sweeney said. “Are you going to work at the Sanitation Service Center today? Why don’t I pick you up after work?
“No, let’s just meet at the place we usually meet,” Grace said.
“All right,” Lina Sweeney said.
After the two ended their conversation, Grace tried to sit up, but as she pushed her hands against the bed, a wave of pain passed through her fingertips.
“Ah!” She let out a low, unconscious cry. The next moment, his hands were under her arms, lifting her as if he was sitting up with a child in his arms.
Grace suddenly felt awkward, but in the next moment, the pain in her finger suddenly reminded her of what had happened last night. Then, her face was instantly tense. “Where’s my photo album? Where’s my photo album?”
My Gorgeous Wife is an Ex-Convict Chapter 274-The photo album contained her most precious memories.
Jason frowned unknowingly. “Are you giving up your life for a photo album? You were lucky yesterday. You only have some bruises on your fingers. What if you really burned yourself?” “This album means a lot to me!” Grace said.
“Can it be more important than your hands? Are you going to lose your hands just to protect a photo album?” His voice deepened.
“It’s very important. Even if both my hands will get burned, I’ll still want to keep it with me.” Grace took a deep breath. To her, it was al remembrance and obsession in her heart.
It was the best family affection she had ever felt and the happiest she ever been.
Her answer turned him pale, and he felt a rush of anger in his chest after seeing that she did not value herself. He cared more about her body than she did.
He cared enough not to see her hurt even the slightest.
“Where’s my photo album?” she still asked him the question eagerly.
Jason exhaled, stood up, walked to a cabinet not far away, and handed her the photo album that was partially burned.
Grace heaved a long sigh of relief and opened the photo album cautiously. Looking at the photos in the photo album, her eyes went red again.
Some of the photos were completely burned, some were burned down to the edges, and others were partially burned. Only about al quarter of the photos were still intact.
It seemed to her that each turn of the page required more perseverance to endure the pain.
It never occurred to her that she could not even protect a photo album.
Closing the photo album, she muttered, “Thank you.” “What?” He looked at her.
“Thank you for taking me to the hospital last night to have my wounds treated. I got… a little out of control last night,” she said, at little embarrassed.
Scenes from the previous night were flashing through her mind.
She would not have rushed into his arms to cry if she had been in a normal state of mind, but yesterday, she hugged him and cried as if she were holding a piece of driftwood.
“Then from now on, only I can see you when you lose control like that,” he bent down and whispered to her.
This sentence was not a question but a direct conclusion.
Grace gasped. Jason looked down and glanced once more at her fingers that were covered in gauze. “If there is any trouble in the future, you can tell me.
Don’t rush there yourself. Besides, now that your hand is like this, I’ve helped you apply for a leave of absence at the Sanitation Service Center, so you can rest at home for a few more days.” Home? She was stunned for a moment. She then felt a trace of bitterness in her heart. She had no home, or rather, there was no home for her in the city.
“I’m always asking for leave. The leader probably finds it troublesome and will fire me when the time comes,” Grace said. She had already taken a long vacation before Chinese New Year.
Road sweepers like them had their responsibilities like every turnip to its hole. If she did not go to work, it meant that the other colleagues had to do her work for her.
My Gorgeous Wife is an Ex-Convict Chapter 275-“No one can fire you,” Jason said with great certainty. “Just take care of your fingers first. Do you think you can lift things and sweep the floor with the state your hands are in right now?” Grace kept her head down and was silent. She really could not do anything with her hands.
“Take good care of your hands first. You can do anything you want once your hands have healed,” Jason said. Then, as if thinking of something, he said, “Are you going to meet Lina Sweeney tonight? Why don’t you take a rain check until the injuries on your hands get better.” A person familiar with Jason would probably be surprised to hear that.
When had the most elusive man in Emerald City ever worry so much about a woman’s injuries?
If it was someone else covered in blood standing in front of him with only one last breath left, they would not cause him the slightest concern.
“I must go,” Grace answered with great certainty. “It seems that Lina has news of the witness in my case. I’m going to meet her and find out what happened.” She did not notice the slight change in his face as she said S nor how his hands had slightly tightened.
“She has news of the witness?” “Yes.” She nodded. “However, I’ll have to ask Lina for more details,” Grace said.
“Are you going to find clues by yourself?” He asked, raising his hand to brush a strand of hair from her cheek. “As I said, I’l reverse the case for you. You needn’t go through so much trouble. It may not even come to an end.” “You can’t help me find the culprit of this car accident by reversing the case, can you? You can’t help me figure out who did this to me. You’re just trying to get me out of this by saying I’m innocent until proven guilty. However, even if I’m no longer charged with a criminal offense, people will still think I’m a murderer.” “Are other people’s opinions so important?” Jason said, frowning.
Grace gave a wry smile. “If it was anything else, I wouldn’t care what people think, but this charge… I want to find out the truth. and let others know that I’m not a murderer!” She did not want anyone to mention her mother and say that she had given birth to a daughter who took someone else’s life.
She knew how great was the power of words.
Jason gave Grace a long look, then suddenly laugh “Fine, you can let me know any time you want me to help you reverse your case.” However, there was something dark in his eyes.
Grace spent the afternoon carefully handling the photo album, taking out the photos one by one.
She even took out the half-destroyed photos carefully.
As her hands were still wrapped in gauze, it would be difficult for her to do things like taking out photos.
“Let me do it,” Jason said. With his long, slender fingers, he helped her to take out the photos. Unlike her clumsy movements earlier, he took the photos out with a dexterous and graceful look that was pleasing to the eye.
Right now, however, Grace was in no mood to enjoy this eye-pleasing feast. All her attention was fixated on each of the photos he took out, observing how badly they were burnt.
Jason took out the photos one by one. It was like looking at the memories of Grace and her mother through these photos.
My Gorgeous Wife is an Ex-Convict Chapter 276-She looked so tiny in the photo. Her chubby cheeks and thick black hair looked so cute.
Jason never knew he would look at a child and be mesmerized, but at the moment, he felt genuine love while looking at the little person in the photo. He even thought that if this little person. appeared in the present in front of him right now, he might be tempted to hug and kiss her.
Was it because this was her as a child? Was that why he found her cute? He had never gotten this feeling when he looked at other kids.
Jason took out one photo after another.
The photos, which began with photos of Grace and her mother, then turned into her alone.
In the photos, she looked older than the photos of her with her mother. She looked about five to six years old here.
There were not many of these photos, at least not as many as there were of her with her mother.
“When my mother was alive, she liked to take photos with me, but after she died, I took fewer photos,” Grace said wistfully while looking at the photos.
Only occasionally did she take a few, and most of them were photos of herself.
She could not fit in with her father’s new family.
Suddenly, Jason’s eyes narrowed sharply. His eyes were fixed on one of the photos, and he paused in his attempt to retrieve it from the burnt album.
“What’s the matter?” Grace asked, confused.
“This photo of you…” His voice paused. “How old were you?” Grace looked over and saw the little girl in the photo, dressed in a floral dress and standing in front of a fence with lush mountains in the background.
Looking at the photo, Grace had a warm look in her eyes. “It’s a photo of me when I was eight or nine years old. I loved this floral dress, but it was expensive.
It was more than 100 dollars at the time. Only when the family is better off that they’ll buy a dress like this for their children. I didn’t dare to tell my grandmother back. then, but she saw that I liked the dress, so she saved some money and bought it for me.” She would never forget her grandmother’s affection for her.
The older she got, the more she understood that the floral dress had not been obtained easily. Her grandmother was probably under a lot of pressure when she bought her this dress. Her grandfather, First Uncle, Second Uncle, and Third Aunt… They all probably blamed her grandmother for spending the money.
After all, it cost more than 100 dollars. For them at that time, a person’s income was only about 800 dollars a month. Her grandmother had earned her income by doing a variety of hand-finishing work.
“What was the name of the place where you lived?” Jason asked out loud.
There was a subtle difference in his voice.
“It was called Lu Village. Haven’t all the villages merged and changed into a town now? It’s now called Shang Lu Town.” Grace was a little surprised to hear him ask this. He had been to Shang Lu Town looking for her.
Jason’s eyes darkened. “Was the dress something you didn’t see much in your town?” “I was the only one wearing it in the village. At that time, my cousin was angry for a long time. She kept saying that Grandma was biased and tried to take the dress away from me,” Grace said, thinking of cousin Stella Lindsay’s angry look back then.
“What happened next? Did she take the dress?” He asked.
“Then I tore it when I went out to play, and I couldn’t wear it anymore. I got sick after that outing,” she said.
My Gorgeous Wife is an Ex-Convict Chapter 277-“Sick? You were sick?” There was a sudden tension in his voice.
“Only a fever which lasted a few days. It made me a little drowsy, but I was alive and kicking when I recovered. Unfortunately, the dress was gone,” she said with some regret. However, later, her grandmother secretly told her that she would buy her a beautiful dress if she was ranked first in her class in the final exam.
However, when she finally got first place, she had to leave her grandmother to go back to her father.
Before she left, her grandmother slipped a new dress into her luggage.
Just as she was thinking, a huge hand suddenly came up and touched her forehead. Grace was stunned and looked up at Jason. “I… I don’t have a fever now.” “I know,” he whispered. “I’ll buy you any dress you want in the future.” His words gave her a sudden shudder. “It’s not like I’m a kid who keeps thinking about dresses.” She bit her lip a little and quickly lowered her eyes.
The longer she looked at him, the more it seemed to make her heartbeat spin out of control.
“Is that so?” Jason withdrew his hand and pulled out all the remaining photos in the album. Then, he picked up the photo of her in a floral dress. “Sis, can you give me this photo?” She was stunned to see that despite his inquiring tone, his hand had already put the photograph away.
“What do you want the photo for?” she said blankly.
“I find it cute, so I want to keep it,” he said.
When the two of them lived together, he did not seem to like the children in the neighborhood. Why did he have a ‘special liking” for a photo of her when she was little?
Grace pressed her lip slightly and said, “That’s the only photo I have of this floral dress.” It also carried a rare nostalgia for her.
That was because the floral dress had been given to her by her grandmother!
“Great.” A smile flickered at the corners of his mouth. “The photo carries more meaning now.” .” She was speechless. What was he talking about? “Why don’t I get you another photo?” she said, settling for second best.
“No, I only want this photo of you,” he said, leaning forward to touch her face. “I never change what I like. It’s the same with photos. It’s the same with people too.” Her face was reflected in his dark pupils, and that elegant voice seemed to surround her ears… Grace was unable to get the photo back from Jason and had to admit defeat.
However, she still wondered why he wanted that particular photo of her. Was it that cute that he wanted to keep it?
My Gorgeous Wife is an Ex-Convict Chapter 278-However, the problem was that people like him had seen a lot of cute people.
Was the photo of her when she was little so cute that he had to keep one for himself?
At the moment, however, meeting Lina Sweeney was the most important thing to her.
When she was about to leave, Jason asked the driver to take her there.
She knew from experience that it was useless to refuse. Once he had made up his mind, there was little room for negotiation.
Once she got into the car, Grace told the driver where to go.
As a result, she arrived half an hour earlier for what was supposed to be an hour-long trip.
Grace walked into a fast food restaurant. She took a seat, ordered a drink that cost six dollars, and sent Lina Sweeney a message.
While she was waiting for her best friend, she casually looked through the transparent French window and watched several food delivery riders running in and out of the restaurant from time to time with their food delivery orders.
Food deliveries… Grace felt a twinge of emotion. Grace’s driver’s license had been canceled, but that did not mean she could not ride a motorcycle. Besides, the food delivery job was distributed according to the work done. She would not get a basic salary, but the more she did, the more she would get paid.
If she could pass the recruitment process with her criminal record, then perhaps delivering food could be a good occupation for her.
If she kept taking leave from her job at the Sanitation Service Center, Claire Watts’s workload would increase greatly. It was like pushing someone else to help her finish her work.
Besides, the salary at the Sanitation Service Center was fixed. Now that she needed to bear a quarter of her grandmother’s medical expenses, she was short of money….
“What are you thinking?” Lina Sweeney’s voice rang in her ears.
Grace instantly came back to her senses and looked at her friend who had already arrived. “I’m wondering whether I should be a food delivery rider,” Grace said.
Lina Sweeney was shocked. “You want to deliver food? It’s hard work, and you’ll receive complaints from customers. Women rarely work as food delivery riders and don’t have the stamina to keep up.” Usually, these jobs were done by men.
“At least I won’t drag others down,” Grace said. “Doing a good job or a bad job is my business. It’s not like the Sanitation Service Center where if you ask for leave, you have to get someone else to do the work for you.” “That’s true,” Lina Sweeney said. As if she had thought of something, she then said, “By the way, why are you here so early today? Are you on leave?” She remembered that her best friend’s off-duty time was later.
“Yes, I hurt my hand, and I had to take a few days off, so I thought I might as well just change my job,” Grace said.
Lina Sweeney realized that her friend’s fingers were covered with gauze. “How did your hands become like that? What happened?” she asked hastily.
Grace did not keep her best friend in the dark but briefly told her what had happened last night.
Lina Sweeney listened, gritting her teeth. “How can there be a father like yours?
Even if he wants to play favorites with Evelyn, he can’t do that to you! He knows how much that album means to you, and he still burned it!” Grace laughed at herself. “Yeah, a man like that is my father!” Now, her mood had changed to indifference. After all, she had already known that her father’s heart no longer held a single affection for her mother, let alone blood ties.
Otherwise, her father would have visited her when she was in prison.
My Gorgeous Wife is an Ex-Convict Chapter 279-“Does your hand hurt?” Lina Sweeney asked with concern.
“It’s fine,” Grace said. “The bandages make it look worse. I didn’t feel any pain today and was able to carry things myself.” Lina Sweeney breathed a sigh of relief and ordered a meal.
As they ate and talked, Grace found out what was going on with the witness her best friend mentioned on the phone. A colleague at Lina’s design studio had posted a video to their co-workers’ group chat. From there, Lina saw the witness who testified back then.
The man was the newly married husband of Lina’s colleague’s relative’s daughter, and he now lived in S City.
Lina Sweeney asked his name casually, just in case, but the colleague did not know his name. The colleague only kne that his last name was You.
There were not many people with the last name ‘You’ Lina Sweeney played the video for Grace.
It was a video of the newlyweds being teased. The video was full of joy and laughter. Grace’s eyes were fixed on the groom in the video.
The groom’s face was full of happiness as he fulfilled some of the demands with the heckling of the others around him.
It looked like a normal festive video, but the only unusual one was the groom.
Grace stared at the face as her mind seemed to stir up a storm at sea. Up till now, she could still remember the man who had coldly testified against her in court. He had said that he saw her drinking and that he even persuaded her not to drive, but she refused and drove away obstinately!
However, these things never happened.
She had never even met this person before. They just happened to be dining in the same restaurant, and he just happened to sit at the table next to her.
Even now she did not understand. Why would he say that in court? Did someone ask him to say that? Was there someone who wanted to pin the blame on her?
However, it was precisely because the witness had no stake in her that the judge took the witness’ testimony more seriously.
Especially when… there were more than one witness.
“Is it him?” Lina Sweeney asked.
“Yes, it should be,” Grace said. “Can you find out where the man is now?” “It shouldn’t be a problem. I’ll ask my colleague later,” Lina Sweeney said. “Are you going to look for him in S City?” “I’ll at least investigate some of the basic things first before I go. We’ve lost track of the witnesses back then. He is the only lead we have so far,” Grace said.
Lina Sweeney understood her best friend’s concern. She was afraid that this clue would be gone when the time came.
After all, the accident was so bizarre with so many witnesses testifying against Grace at the same time. It was as if there was some invisible network plotting at the back.
“All right. Let’s get this straight first,” Lina Sweeney said.
Suddenly, as they talked, Grace seemed to feel something and looked up to see a parked car not far away. The window of the car was open, and a man was sitting in it looking in their direction.
My Gorgeous Wife is an Ex-Convict Chapter 280-It was a good-looking man somewhere between a teenager and a young man. He had an androgynous face. It fit well with the feminine beauty that was now in fashion.
His delicate features seemed to have come out of a painting, except that the man’s thin lips were tightly pressed at the moment, and his extremely beautiful black eyes seemed to be tinged with anger.
‘Is this man… angry?’ Grace thought. Judging from the direction of his gaze, he seemed to be annoyed by… “Grace, I’m talking to you. Do you hear me?” Lina Sweeney’s voice rang in her ears, and Grace came to her senses immediately.
“What were you telling me?” Grace turned her head to look at her best friend.
“I said, did the doctor say when your hand might be healed?” Lina Sweeney said.
“About a week, then I just have to wait for the skin to heal,” Grace said. She then glanced in the direction of the strange man, but both the car and the man were gone.
“What are you looking at?” Lina Sweeney followed her best friend’s gaze. “Is there anything on the street?” “It’s nothing.” Grace smiled. She was probably a little paranoid… Even if the man was looking in their direction with a face seemingly full of anger, it did not mean that he was actually looking at them!
“By the way, are you living with Jason now? What’s going on?” Lina Sweeney asked. She had wanted to ask this question ever since she called her best friend last night.
“We’re… sort of living together,” Grace said.
“You’re cohabitating with him?” Lina Sweeney asked.
The word ‘cohabitating’ nearly got Grace to spit the drink out of her mouth.
“No… Not really, I’m just staying for a while. I should be able to move out once my hand gets better,” Grace said quickly.
“What?” Lina Sweeney frowned slightly. “Are you being forced to live with Jason?” When she thought about it, Jason was responsible for most of her best friend’s miserable experiences in prison. He also had lied to her best friend later on.
Grace hated being lied to. Besides, Jason was probably a trauma she could not erase from her mind.
Grace faked a light-hearted smile. “Not exactly… forced. At least I’m doing pretty well at his place. I broke my hand, so it’s convenient to stay with him. Besides, he has given me a separate room.” “But…” Lina Sweeney had other concerns.
Grace interrupted and said, “All right, let’s move on to something else. Didn’t you say that your mom has been setting you up on blind dates? Met anyone you like?” “Don’t even talk about it. I’m trying to figure out a way to escape it. I’m only 27 years old, but my mother seems to think I can’t get married. She said some fortune tellers say that I must get married next year, so I have to find a good match this year. I’d like to kick that fortune teller’s stall,” Lina Sweeney said angrily.
“You haven’t had a crush on anyone all these years?” Grace said. Speaking of which, she did not seem to have seen Lina in love since they first met. Her hobby was probably fangirling over those celebrities.
“Err…” Lina Sweeney touched her nose uneasily when she mentioned this topic.
