    “Really?” muttered Jason. The scissors


    werepletely in his hand in the blink


    of an eye.


    He looked down at the scissors in his


    hand, and there was a coldness on his


    expression. For a moment, he felt the


    urge to give her his life even if she did


    want it!


    ‘How did that happen?


    ‘I never intended to give any woman my life. Only I can decide whether I should


    live or die, right? Isn’t that what I was afraid of when I broke up with her?


    ‘Why do I still have such an idea even after we’ve broken up?’


    “Jason, I’ve never thought about killing you.” His silence made her misunderstand. “Even if we’ve


    broken up,


    it was sad and painful at the beginning,


    but it’s all over now. I won’t kill someone


    just because we broke up.”


    He furrowed his brows. She was only exining herself, but why did it hurt


    him when he heard her say that it was all


    over?


    “You’ve never thought about killing me?” He turned his head to look at her.


    +


    “Yes,” she said.


    “You don’t want me to die, then?” he


    asked, his dark eyes looking straight into


    hers as if he was trying to see through


    her.


    ‘Don’t want… Using those words makes it seem like something is going on between


    us.’


    “I… don’t want you to die,” she said. ‘Yes, even though we’ve broken up, I’ve never wanted him dead or


    anything. All I want


    is for us to live our lives well.’


    However, even that seemed hard to do.


    “Therefore, you won’t let me die, will


    you?” His voice was like the floating clouds in the sky, leading one into a


    trance.


    ‘How could I let him die?’ Grace only felt as if the person in front of her was telling a joke. ‘He’s


    Emerald City’s Master Reed. He has trillions of dors worth


    of fortune in his hands. Is he someone a


    mere paralegal like me could kill?’


    “It’s not a matter of will or won’t,” she


    said.


    “Just tell me, will you… or won’t you?” He


    insisted on an answer.


    She could feel her heart beating faster


    and faster as he watched her. Almost


    subconsciously, her lips parted as she


    uttered the words, “I won’t.”


    The corners of his lips rose slightly,


    Even his eyes


    and slowly, a smile grew. Even his

    seemed to be smiling.


    “Then you’d better remember what you’ve just said.” As he spoke, he handed the scissors back into her


    hand. “Alright,


    go on.”


    By the time the trim was over, Grace felt her hands freeze. Her stomach growled


    with hunger.


    She then had dinner at Reed Residence. It was no different from before, but she would at times have


    the misconception


    that she was still dating him.


    She thought that she would be able to go


    home when dinner was over, but he kept


    her in the study.


    Jason was at therge desk in his study having a video conference with the


    Grace sat at a small desk, flipping


    through the case files she was working


    1.


    It was the same small desk he had


    bought for her when she wanted to


    revise thews and cases.


    Grace was confused why Jason wanted to keep her in the study when he clearly


    had work to do.


    However, when she asked him about it


    earlier, he had said, “It’s nice to have


    you


    around when I work. I feel a lot happier.”
