Chapter 272


    "For fear of it bing a habit," Grace said, somewhat embarrassed. "Some things may be a


    habit after many times. When you’re no longer able to rely on that, they be despair instead.”


    "Why, were you desperate before?" he asked casually.


    She took a deep breath, looked into his eyes, and finally stopped hiding. "Yes, I was desperate."


    His pupils froze slightly. The faint smile on his face also slowly faded away.


    "Can you go out now? I want to change," Grace said.


    However, Jason did not back off. His dark eyes were still staring at her, and his fingers were stroking


    her cheek as if he was thinking of something.


    After a moment, he muttered, "Will you be afraid if I say that it has already be a habit and that it’ll


    never change?"


    Grace stared at the face close to her, not knowing what to say for a moment. She felt as if her heart


    was violently beating right now.


    ...


    In the dressing room, Grace blushed and changed her clothes. Although Jason had gone out, she felt


    as though her face could still feel the touch of his fingers.


    In the end, she had not replied to his question. If it had be a habit, it would always be so... What


    did he mean? Would he stand up for her all his life?


    A man like him would never bother to lie, so he must be thinking the same thing as he was saying it.


    However, what aboutter? Who would know? He had never been one for her to specte on.


    ''It was better not to have any… habits.''


    Grace said to herself in her mind.


    Jason stood by the door of the dressing room. His eyes were drooping low as if he was thinking about


    something, and his bodyguards stood behind him.


    Suddenly, the bodyguard shivered as he looked to the left. He only saw a figureing this way.


    Of course, the bodyguard also recognized the man. It was Brian, the crown prince of the entertainment


    industry and a friend of Young Master Reed. Therefore, the bodyguard did not move but just stood in

    the same spot.


    Brian walked up to Jason and said, "Did youe here today to stand up for her?"


    Jason slowly lifted his head and looked at the person in front of him, smirking. "So what if I did? What a


    coincidence to see you here."


    Coincidence? Brian smiled faintly. Knowing that Jason was here today, he guessed that Grace would


    be here too. That was why he had hurried over to see what would happen.


    Sure enough, he saw a good show.


    Even though he did not say it, Jason had probably guessed it.


    "I don''t care if you happen to be here by coincidence or on purpose, but ''she''—you can''t touch. ''She'' is


    mine," Jason saidzily. He looked indifferent, but there was some kind of seriousness in his eyes.


    "Do you care that much about this woman?" Brian asked ndly.


    "Yes, I do." He confessed matter-of-factly, surprising Jason''s bodyguard. Young Master Reed just said


    that he cared about a woman. He... had never heard Young Master Reed say that before.


    Young Master Reed had never said he ‘cared’ about Jennifer Atkinson, Young Master Reed''s previous


    fiancée.


    Brian had a slight surprise in his eyes. After years of knowing each other, he knew how hard it was to


    get the word ‘care’ out of Jason''s mouth.
