Chapter 516


    Chapter 516


    It’s rare for Grace to hear Jason call someone a friend, so


    Patrick was probably close to him. “Hello, I’m Grace.”


    Grace introduced herself gracefully.


    “Hello, I’ve wanted to meet you for a long time now, but I


    haven’t had a chance,” Patrick said with a smile. After all, he


    had always been curious about the woman who managed to


    capture his best friend’s heart.


    On the eve of the Lunar New Year, Patrick was shocked and


    intrigued by the fact that his best friend brought a group of police officers to the town next to Emerald


    City for her. He


    even left Old Master Reed behind for her.


    Now, after meeting Grace, Patrick thought that even though she was not stunningly beautiful, her eyes


    gave people a sense offort-it was gentle and rxing.


    Standing alongside Grace, Jason also seemed more rxed


    than usual.


    Potrick immediately understood why his best friend fell in love with Grace. People like them were often


    in a treacherous environment where the people around them were more


    hypocritical than sincere. Although they were high up in the pecking order, the slightest mistake might


    cause them to fall and break into pieces. Therefore, even if one looked rxed most of the time, they


    were actually tense.


    Grace’s calm temperament could make others feel rxed, and that made it all the more precious.


    “By the way, when I came over, there were some people over


    N?vel/Dr(a)ma.Org - Content owner.


    there discussing the inte situation this year. You want to


    get involved?” Patrick asked Jason. As soon as he mentioned the names of the people in the


    discussion, she immediately


    recognized them as inte bigwigs.


    These were people she would not normally get to meet, but now, they were at the same banquet as


    her.


    Jason was obviously interested as soon as he heard what his


    friend said, but then he turned and looked at Grace. “Do you want to join?”


    “No, I won’t understand what they’re talking about anyway. Why don’t you go? I’ll just rest here,”


    answered Grace.


    “All right.” Jason nodded. “About the food…”


    “I’ll take some myself, don’t worry,” Grace said with a smile.


    Patrick looked at the proud friend he had known since


    childhood in shock. Jason was now acting like her mother,


    telling Grace not to take the wine because of its strong alcohol content, to be careful when she walked


    so that she would not fall, and even to ask the waiter to get the food for her if she did not want to get it


    herself…


    Patrick almost thought the person in front of him was only someone who looked like Jason.


    It seemed that Jason was so afraid of Grace choking on her food and falling on her feet that he wished


    he could hold her in the palm of her hand.


    If others saw this, their eyes would probably pop out. When had Emerald City’s most difficult Young


    Master Reed treated


    a woman this way?


    It was like he wanted to wait on the woman.


    As the two men walked away from Grace, Patrick said, “I’ve


    never seen you treat a woman this way. Are you serious about


    her?”


    “Yes.” Jason admitted it readily.


    Patrick’s eyes immediately widened at his confession. “You


    mean it?”


    Jason nced at him. “Do I have to tell you a lie?”


    Gulp!
