    Chapter 346


    He had never said these words before, but as he looked at her standing before his father’s spirit tablet,


    he just naturally said it.


    It was as if he could only get the words out of his heart when he was facing her.


    “Speaking of which, my father must have seen a lot of women in his day, and there must have been


    some prettier ones. What a fool he was to give up everything for a woman like that,” muttered


    Jason.


    “Your father did not necessarily like your mother because she was


    pretty. Sometimes looks are not that important when a person


    likes another person. Besides, they’ll like them whether they’re


    good or bad,” said Grace.


    Jason’s eyes flickered slightly, and his gaze settled firmly on Grace’s face. “Maybe… it’s just like you


    said. Sometimes looks are


    not that important when a person likes another person…”


    It was just like how he liked her. He had seen women who were more beautiful, more understanding of


    a man’s heart, and more amodating than her. However, he just liked the feeling she gave him.


    He liked the calm warmth when she was concerned about him. He liked her to call him ‘Jay’ over and


    over again. He liked her to hold his hand to sleep at night…


    being. She seemed unable to move under his eyes…


    It was not until the incense Grace lit for Jason’s father had


    finished burning that Jason got up and set the photo of his mother


    on fire. Then, he blew out the candle.

    “Why did you burn the photo of your mother?” she asked in


    surprise.


    “I burn the photo every year at this time,” said Jason. “All right,


    let’s go back.”


    Grace was stunned and looked at the time. It was just after


    midnight it was a new day.


    “Why burn the photo at this time of year?” she asked, finding it


    strange. Then, as if aware of something, she hastened to say, “Uh,


    you don’t have to answer that. It was just a… casual question.”


    She should be thinking of distancing herself from him.


    “Yesterday was her birthday. My father would wait for her to


    celebrate her birthday together at this time of year, no matter how


    Jason muttered. It was why every year tonight, he would look at a photo of the woman he was


    supposed to call his mother. It was


    to remind him not to forget what she looked like and not to fall to


    recognize her someday.


    “Come on,” he said as he took her hand. Then, they left the mourning hall and headed toward the main


    house.


    In the security room, several security guards who were keeping watch at night gathered in front of the


    surveince screen, looking


    at the two people who just left the mourning hall.


    “They’re out. Oh my God, Miss Cummins is safe and sound!”


    “Young Master Reed is… He’s holding her hand!”


    “She’s the only one who can go into the memorial hall ande out holding hands with Young Master


    Reed. If it were someone


    else, she would have been killed!”


    The security guards chattered, and suddenly, the man on the surveince screen looked up in the


    direction of the surveince camera. It was as if he were looking across the screen at the people


    watching the surveince screen.


    All of a sudden, the security guards kept quiet and dared not say


    anything more.
