    “Yes, there won’t be any more misunderstandings like that. It’s great that he has found the one he’s


    looking for,” Grace said.


    Then the man would not cry like that anymore! The memory of


    Brian crying in front of her that night somehow shed in her


    mind.


    Somehow, there was a tightness in her chest and a dull ache in


    her head.


    Grace stopped, raised her hand, and pressed it against one side


    of her forehead.


    “What’s the matter?” Jason asked hastily.


    “Nothing, just… A sudden headache,” she replied.


    Looking at her slightly pale face, he said with a frown, “You don’t look very well. Why don’t we find a


    lodge nearby for you to rest awhile?”


    There was not even a real hotel nearby, only a few lodges.


    “It’s all right,” said Grace. The headache was only instantaneous, and the pain subsided as she spoke.


    “The pain is gone now. I want to go back and spend more time with Grandma.”


    After a pause, she added, “Jason, I’m going to stay here for three. days. I’ll return to Emerald City after


    Grandma’s funeral. You


    should go back to the city first.”


    “Have you forgotten that I said I’ll stay with you?” asked Jason.


    “It’s going to take three days. You probably have a lot of yourpany’s business to deal with, don’t


    you? It’s all right for me.

    anyway,” said Grace.


    At her grandmother’s wake, she was more of an outsider. There was little conversation as she merely


    bowed at those who came to


    pay Grandma theirst respects.


    On the other hand, her cousin Ste Lindsay was surrounded by people like a moon surrounded by


    stars. She was ttered and fawned over by the people around her.

    Grace also knew that these changes were probably due to Brian.


    “No matter how many days you’re staying here for, I’ll stay with you. I don’t trust you to stay here


    alone,” said Jason.


    “It’ll be fine. First Uncle, Second Uncle, and Third Aunt now know who you are, so they don’t dare to


    treat me like they used to.” Grace was sure of that.


    After all, not many people would dare to offend Jason, not to


    mention her rtives who only preyed on the weak.


    “It’s one thing whether they dare to, and it’s another for me to worry. I can only be assured if I stay with


    you,” said Jason.


    Besides, it was not only her rtives that worried him, there was… Someone else…


    Jason’s eyes darkened at the thought.


    Back at the Lu family’s house. Sure enough, Grace saw Ste Lindsay being surrounded by their


    rtives and neighbors in town. They were making all sorts of ttering remarks, especially those


    hoping to get into the entertainment industry through Ste Lindsay.


    Ste Lindsay obviously enjoyed being ttered like this.
