    His unusual behavior made her freeze. “Jay, what happened?”


    “Tell me if what I just said is right.” There was a hint of urgency


    in his voice.


    “Yes, you’re right. You’re the one I love the most, and I’ll always be by your side.” Grace raised her


    hands and hugged Jason back. “Tell me, what’s going on?”


    He did not say anything but continued to hug her tightly as his chin rested on her shoulder. Each breath


    seemed a little


    heavy.


    “Jay, we’re husband and wife. Whatever happens, I’ll face it


    with you,” said Grace.


    He was silent for a moment before saying slowly, “I… just feel bad for my father. He loved the woman


    so much that he even betrayed his family and left the Reed family just to be with that woman. But that


    woman abandoned my father and me


    without hesitation because he couldn’t give her any more

    money.”


    Grace knew that the woman he was talking about was his


    mother. “It was her loss to have lost your father. She’ll find out


    that no man in the world will ever love her as much as your father loved her. She’ll regret it. She’ll


    regret the decision she made at that time.”


    “Regret?” Jason suddenly sneered. “How could a woman like her ever feel regret? She’s probably


    enjoying her life right now!”


    Grace slowly cupped Jason’s face. “Jay, don’t let your mother dictate your life anymore. Those things


    are in the past. No one knows where your mother is and whether she’s alive or dead. But you have


    your own life. If you keep dwelling on the past, you’ll never be truly happy. Jay, stop thinking about it,


    okay?”


    “Stop thinking about it?” His eyshes quivered gently. Then, he slowly looked up and stared at her.


    “What will you do if my mother appears in front of me one day?”


    “Me?” She froze a little. She had never thought of such a thing. “I don’t know. It’s up to you to decide


    what happens. between you and your mother, but I hope you won’t regret any


    decisions you make.”‘


    His eyes gleamed. “You said it. It’s up to me to decide, and I won’t regret whatever decision I make!”


    His hand caught the back of her head and he kissed her hard


    on the lips once he was done talking…


    “Jay… Enough… Enough…” Grace said, nearly passing out several times.


    3/4


    “Not enough… Grace. It’s far from enough.” His fingers interlocked with hers, and his voice was hoarse


    with endless longing while his beautiful eyes were filled with suppressed and indecipherable darkness.


    Finally, Grace was so tired that she fell asleep. Jason stared at her sleeping face for a long time before


    picking her up and walking into the bathroom.


    Jason muttered, “Grace, will you stay out of whatever happens tomorrow? Just watch quietly. If that


    person… isn’t ‘her’, I’ll let her off the hook for your sake, but there’s only one woman in the world that I


    won’t let off the hook!”


    If he let that woman off the hook, then the pain he suffered when he was little and his father’s death


    would have been for nothing.


    Early the next morning, Grace wore a turtleneck sweater and apanied Old Lawyer Watts and Mrs.


    Watts to the Reed family’s cemetery.
