    He stood up suddenly and leaned over the table before reaching out to take her hand.


    “Ah!” She let out a cry and made a conscious attempt to pull her hand back.


    However, his hand grabbed hers firmly, pulling it to his chest.


    “Do you feel it? It’s beating faster than usual,” he muttered


    as his thick ck eyshes fluttered. “Do you know how fast it was beating yesterday when I saw the


    man who wanted to hurt you following you out of shot from the surveince footage?”


    He chuckled softly, half-confiding and half-sighing. “It was so fast that my heart felt as if it would burst.


    It became difficult to even breathe. My hands were shaking so hard I could hardly hold a ss of


    water.”


    His words, along with that elegant voice, crept into her ears.


    She watched him intently. Every word he said seemed like a heavy weight on her heart.


    “Grace, do you still think I don’t love you?” His phoenix eyes


    stared at her while her surprised look was reflected in his


    eyes.


    She had never expected him to tell her such a thing.


    Her hand that was against his heart seemed to be burning up.


    “You…” She opened her mouth to say something but did not know exactly what to say.


    “Grace,” he called out her name. “You can doubt anything but the fact that I love you!”


    At the simple square table, the handsome man leaned forward and pressed the woman’s right palm


    against his heart.


    The woman stared at the man in shock, bewilderment, and something moreplicated.


    For a moment, the man and woman seemed to be stuck in their own world-separated from the world


    around them.


    The people in the diner looked at the two people. A few girls who looked like students even picked up


    their phones to secretly take photos.


    Unnoticed by the diner’s customers, several ck cars had pulled up outside. A tall figure came to a


    halt when they


    reached the entrance.


    Their bright eyes stared at the two people who were looking at each other while the blood on their face


    seemed to fade instantly. At this moment, the person’s face was utterly pale. Then, the man touched


    his heart with his hand.


    A surge of pain rose from his heart, and with each heartbeat, it traveled through his bones and limbs.


    ‘Ouch!


    ‘It hurts so much!’


    Jason clenched his teeth and looked at the scene that was causing him pain.


    ‘Is this also the pain… she’s giving me?


    ‘It’s so swift and violent! The pain is almost unbearable!


    ‘I no longer love her, no? I only regard her as a sister now!


    ‘Why does it hurt so much just to see her with Brian? The pain

    is even more unbearable than yesterday when I saw Brian


    confessing his love for her at the police station.


    A bodyguard immediately hurried forward and asked, “Master Reed, are you okay?”


    “Make everyone else in this restaurant leave! Seal up the area


    ten meters from the entrance!” Jason ordered with a slight


    gasp.


    “Yes!” answered the bodyguard.
