Chapter 261


    Chapter 261


    After the trio ordered their coffee, Andrea Schwartz purposely


    started a conversation about Grace’s current job in an


    attempt to hear more about Grace’s current plight and to observe Jason’s reaction.


    However, Jason looked unperturbed. It was as if Grace’s answer, which he already knew, could not


    surprise him at all.


    “Grace, why don’t I talk to the boss at the firm? Then you can go back and get a job at the firm. Even if


    you’re only working as a cleaner at the firm, it’s better than being a sanitation service worker,” Andrea


    Schwartz said, pretending to be nice.


    Grace looked up at Andrea Schwartz, but her eyes grew colder and colder. “I have no intention of


    changing my job.”


    “Is that so?” Andrea Schwartz curled her lips. “You’ll probably earn more being a cleaner at the firm


    than a sanitation service worker. Are you sure you don’t want to think about it?”


    “I think I know exactly what I’m going to do.” Grace’s tone got


    colder too.


    Andrea Schwartz wanted to say more, but Tyler Barber stopped her. Fortunately, the waiter came to


    serve their


    coffee, and the topic was temporarily brought to a half.


    “Here. The coffee is expensive. It tastes better when it’s hot,” Andrea Schwartz said.


    Jason lifted the coffee gracefully, sniffed the aroma, and took


    a sip.


    Andrea Schwartz looked at the man in front of her and felt that he was just like those idols and


    celebrities. The mere scene of him drinking coffee was pleasing to the eye.


    “Mr. Reed, how did you meet Grace?” Andrea Schwartz asked


    curiously.


    “When it snowed, she took the initiative to talk to me. That’s


    how we met,” Jason said, smiling.


    Huh? Just like that?! That seemed a bit too easy! “Grace pursued you, then?” Andrea Schwartz said


    again.


    Jason nced at Grace who was sipping milk tea with her head down. “I guess so.”


    Grace almost spat her milk tea out! When did she do that?


    However, at this point, it was clear that Andrea Schwartz had misunderstood her rtionship with


    Jason, so Grace did not bother to exin. It was up to Jason to say whatever he


    wanted. It did not matter if Andrea Schwartz misunderstood.


    “Then Grace is lucky to pursue such a handsome guy. How long have you known Grace?” Andrea


    Schwartz continued


    asking.


    “A few months, I guess?” Jason rarely had the patience to


    answer these sorts of questions.


    “In that case…” Andrea Schwartz looked at Grace and said


    seemingly without much thought, “Ever since Grace got out of


    prison, I’ve been hoping that she can find someone to rely on. After all, her previous prison experience


    was too devastating for her. Now that she has a boyfriend like Mr. Reed, it’s really…”


    Andrea Schwartz suddenly stopped in the middle of her


    sentence. She saw Jason looking at her with a half-smile as if he was aware of all her ideas.


    Andrea Schwartz felt as if the rest of the words were stuck in her throat. She could no longer go on.


    “Why don’t you go on? It’s really what?” Jason asked, raising his eyebrows.


    Andrea Schwartz looked embarrassed andmely said, “Really… really generous. After all, Grace has


    been in prison, and a lot of men mind if a woman has been to prison.”

    “I don’t mind,” Jason said. He then looked indulgently at Grace. “No matter her past, I only want her to


    stay with me willingly.”
