    Chapter 856


    “I… I really like you. I… I know I’m useless. I can’t provide you avish lifestyle, but I can apany


    you every day. I can do everything I can to protect you. If you’ve


    know you


    never tried, how do you know


    can’t


    develop feelings for me no matter how


    long it takes?”


    He was stuttering. He was so anxious yet


    so earnest.


    Grace’s nose felt a little sore. It turned


    out that there was someone who liked


    her so much.


    It was not for any other reason. He just


    respected her no matter how destitute


    she was.


    She did not push him away. His hug felt


    very, very warm.


    It was because of this warmth that she hoped that one day he could meet a woman who really loved


    him!


    “Chase Harper, thank you for liking me, but even now when you’re holding me, I feel nothing for you.


    Do you think it’s necessary to try?” she said.


    In her ears came the sound of his silent


    breathing.


    A ck car was parked not far away. The man inside looked at the pair embracing each other in the car


    ahead while his hands on hisp tightened…


    The night was dark.


    Grace was already asleep in her bed in the quiet room, but the light by her


    bedside was on.


    Ever since moving out of Reed Residence,


    she began turning on the light when she


    slept at night again.


    The soft light fell on her face, making her


    sleeping face seem serene and gentle.


    Suddenly, the door of the rented house


    was gently pushed open. A figure


    entered the house and closed the door


    behind them.


    The light fell on their body, reflecting the gloom on their face.


    Jason walked to the bedside step by step, looking at Grace whoy fast asleep on


    the bed.


    The scene he witnessed today repeated before his eyes again and again.


    He met the man Chase Harper when she was still working at the Sanitation


    Service Center. Unexpectedly, she was


    with that man again now.


    ‘She… even let the man hold her.


    ‘Does she know that when I saw that, I


    kept asking myself why she didn’t push him away? Why?


    ‘Is she… attracted to that man?


    ‘Is that why she’s willing to let that man hold her like that? Would she… date that


    man someday? Would she let the man kiss her? Would she… marry that man and have children with


    him?’


    At the thought of these possibilities, an acrid feeling spread across his chest,


    apanied by a feeling that left him


    breathless.


    “Is this the man you’re going to use to


    forget me?” the cold voice murmured.


    However, the sleeping woman made no


    answer.


    Jason stared down at the sleeping Grace.


    After a long while, he bent over to her


    cheek as if he wanted to get a closer


    look.


    “Don’t like other men, okay?” he


    muttered.


    He was the one who had kicked her


    away. He was the one who wanted to


    break


    up with her, and he was the one who wanted to stop loving her. However,


    he could not ept it when he saw her


    being so intimate with other men.


    He was conflicted.


    Meanwhile, she was still in a deep


    slumber.


    His line of sight moved from her eyes

    to her nose bridge, lips… Almost


    uncontrobly, he moved closer and


    closer to her, trying to take in her scent.


    “Um…” Her pink and tender lips


    unconsciously opened, muttering


    something in her sleep. It was like a fuse that made Jason tremble suddenly.
