    Chapter 1270


    He raised his hand, and his fingertips gently brushed against her lips, wiping away the remaining water


    droplets from the gargling. “But it doesn’t matter if you hate it! We’re husband and wife. It’s only normal


    and natural for us to touch each other, isn’t it? Even if you’re unwilling, are you going to endure it for the


    sake of the children?”


    With that, he turned to leave as though he had no intention of listening to her answer. “Alright, it’s


    gettingte. Go to bed. I have some things to take care of in the study.”


    However, before he could take another step, a pair of slender arms suddenly wrapped around him from


    behind. “I don’t hate it,” said Grace as she pretty much buried her face in Jason’s broad back. “It’s just


    morning sickness. I have no way to control it. But at least I didn’t hate the kiss earlier.”


    He suddenly stiffened as if he had not expected her to say such a


    thing.


    After a pause, she continued saying, “Perhaps there are certain things that are natural between a


    married couple, but if we have no affection for each other and if it’s only to satisfy desire, then how will


    we be different from wild animals? At least, I think that


    kind of… intimacy between a married couple requires some affection… I don’t want to do it for the kids,


    and I don’t think you’d


    want me to either, am I right?”


    She knew he was proud. He was Emerald City’s Master Reed. The wealth and power he had in his


    hands were enough to make him


    proud.


    How could a man like that have a woman reluctantly do something like that with him for the sake of


    someone else? That would probably be tantamount to an insult to him.


    He slowly turned around and looked at the woman in front of him. Those almond-shaped eyes were so


    clear. It was as if all her thoughts and ideas were disyed in front of him without the slightest


    concealment.


    He said, “Then what kind of feelings are needed for you to do it? Love? Do you think I have to love you


    and vice versa for you to do


    it?”


    She was silent.


    “Grace, are you going to love me again?” asked Jason.


    At that moment, her heart was suddenly beating very fast.


    After Jason left, Grace gently touched the space where her heart was and found that it was still beating


    wildly.


    ‘Am I… going to love this man again? For the rest of my life? If we have to be tied together, can I still


    love him?”


    If she had thought they would always be two horizons, now they were probably too intertwined to be


    separate horizons.


    In the study, Jason took out a box from the safe. He gently opened the box and found a brilliant


    diamond ring in it.


    Frozen Heart-the wedding ring he had prepared for her before and designed to her liking. If nothing had


    happened back then,


    the ring would have been on her finger by now.


    Jason was lost in thought as he looked at the ring in his hand. He gradually closed his fingers and held


    the diamond ring tightly, letting the edges and corners of the diamond ring prick his palm.


    Grace went to the detention center the next day.

    It was because the video of Ste framing Chase Harper had been identally exposed at the birthday


    party, so Ste’s original case against Chase Harper was dismissed. Chase Harper was released right


    away.


    Chase Harper looked so haggard when Grace saw him. His chin was covered in stubble, but the way


    he looked at her was still


    warm.
