Jasper’s deep gaze fell on her body, but he did not say a word. His silence seemed to have said everything.


    Ste Grace as overwhelmed by the strange yet familiar feeling and she didn’t know how to deal with it. She lowered her head instead.


    “You’vee to the wrong room, haven’t you?” The person next to Jasper spoke.


    Ste immediately turned around. Bryan Fellow held her arm and said, “I’ll call and ask.”


    Ste nodded.


    Bryan smiled at Ste and made a call with a doting look in his eyes.


    The phone rang outside the door.


    Ryan Lameer came in with his mobile phone and said with a smile, “You’re all here. Sorry, I was stuck in traffic.”


    “Teacher Grace,” Bobby Lameer greeted her enthusiastically.


    “Teacher Grace.” Bobby’s mother looked a little embarrassed. After all, Ste had saved her son even though they had a conflict previously.


    Ste nodded, greeting them.


    Bryan hung up the phone when he saw Ryaning towards them. He then said politely, “It would be weird if there isn’t any traffic during rush hour. You came at the right timing, State Mayor. For a moment, I thought I went to the wrong room.”


    “Let me introduce a friend to you.” Ryan looked at Jasper Milton and said, “This is Chief Milton, he’s from the special forces military region.”


    “Chief Milton, this is Ste Grace, a famous psychologist, and this is Bryan Fellow, the current director of the police station. You are all elites among the young people I know. When I was at your age, I was nothing.” Ryan said and sat on a seat facing the door, as if he was the host.


    Bobby sat on his left, while Jasper sat in the most distinguished position on the right.


    The food were served promptly as they had booked the private VIP room in advance.


    The waiter poured red wine for everyone.


    “I would like to specially thank Teacher Grace today, as well as apologize for the misunderstanding between you and my wifest time. I was too busy with my work and didn’t know the specific situation until it was toote, so you were wronged. I would like to propose a toast to you. Please ept my apology and my gratitude,” Ryan smiled and raised his ss.


    Ste also raised her ss.


    Bobby’s mother was timid, so it was impossible for her not to report it to Ryan. There was a reason that Ryan had said all these in front of everyone. His words had a legal effect, and he was trying to rid himself of the responsibilities he had in their contract.


    If Ste agreed with a smile, not only would the contract not be terminated, but she would also suffer a lot through the three months.


    Sometimes, formalities were just for courtesy. She couldn’t refrain from rejecting the terms just because she was put in an awkward position.


    “Didn’t your wife call youst time?” Ste asked bluntly as she took a sip of wine.


    Ryan did not expect her to be that forthright. He looked a little displeased. He looked at his missus and said, “Did you tell me about this?”


    Ryan’s wife’s face was also very pale, and she was stammering.


    She had talked bad about Ste a lot in front of Bobby. She didn’t want Ste to continue to be Bobby’s tutor, but she also had to take care of her husband’s image. “I don’t seem to remember. I’ve forgotten whether I’ve told you about the matter,” she lied.


    “Fortunately, I have a good memory. Anyway, we ought to separate between business and personal matters. I was just following the arrangement of the institute and fulfilling my duties. You didn’t have to specially arrange this meal for us. Nevertheless, I shall propose a toast to you, State Mayor,” Ste replied.


    Ryan red at his missus unhappily. There were too many people, and he couldn’t vent his anger right now. He raised his ss with a forced smile and took a sip of wine.


    “By the way, State Mayor, haven’t you been busytely? I can’t believe you could spare some time in the afternoon.” Ste asked with a smile.


    “I happened to be here today for an investigation. There are some things that needed to be dealt with. No matter how busy I am, I still need to eat. I also need to repay your kindness. Fortunately, I have you, Teacher Grace. If it were someone else, he might not be able to solve the case,” Ryan replied.


    “State Mayor, you are ttering me. If someone has done bad things, God won’t let him go. If he didn’t do anything wrong, God will know too. As long as Bobby tells me where the mobile phone was, the video inside will prove that Bobby is innocent.” Ste exined.


    “Is that so?” Ryan looked at Bryan in surprise.


    Bryan nodded and said, “Well, but he refused to say anything to anyone of us, haha.”


    “Ah,” Ryan sighed, “Only you could look after my son. My offer is sincere: I’d like to hire you as Bobby’s tutor again.”


    “Teacher Grace, I like you!” Bobby called out.


    Jasper’s eyes became darker. He looked at Ste, raised his ss, and took a sip of wine.


    Ste also raised her ss and smiled at Bobby. “Actually, my presence is not necessity, Bobby. Others might not believe in you, but I believe that you will one day be a sessful person. Remember, from now on, you must not make any mistakes, and you must not go down the wrong path.”


    Bobby’s eyes turned red. He picked up the wine ss and said, “Thank you, Teacher Grace.”


    Ste clinked her own wine ss with Bobby’s and gulped the wine in one go.


    Bobby also drank the wine in his ss.


    “You should pour some wine for your teacher, Bobby,” Ryan reminded him.


    Bobby picked up the ss jar with the wine, walked to Ste’s side and filled her ss.


    Bryan also picked up his wine ss and said, “Let’s have a toast too! Thank you foring all the way here!”


    “I should be the one thanking you. Bryan, thank you for saving me back then.” Ste picked up her wine ss.


    “Could I take it as a fate bestowed by God?” Bryan said with a smile. He clinked Ste’s ss and finished the wine in his ss.


    Ste saw that his ss was empty. It would be rude if she did not finish the wine too.


    Ryan sensed that there was something between them. “Do you know each other before this?”


    “We have a pretty good fate, don’t we?” Bryan said with a smile, with a kind of ambiguity that a mature man would have.Material ? N?velDrama.Org.


    Once again, Jasper gulped down the wine in his ss. His eyes were as deep as a bottomless pool.


    “Do you have a boyfriend now, Teacher Grace?” Ryan asked.


    Ste lowered her gaze and looked at Jasper from the corner of her eyes.


    Perhaps, the distance between them was too far, so she could not see his expression clearly.


    Did she have a boyfriend?


    Frederick Addington could probably count as one.


    “Yes.” Ste said affirmatively, unknowingly deting Bryan’s thoughts.


    Bryan was a little disappointed, but he was still very confident. He praised, “I’m sure your boyfriend is very lucky.”


    “I hope so,” Ste said ambiguously.


    The waiter filled her ss up again.


    Ryan changed the topic and looked at Jasper. “Chief, do you have a girlfriend?”


    “Yes.” Jasper responded and drank up the wine again, unwilling to say more.


    Ryan poured more wine for Jasper and said, “Your girlfriend must be very happy. Here’s to you!”


    Jasper didn’t say anything and finished his wine again.


    Ste stared at him.


    Jasper had always been a responsible person. Once he got married, he would be responsible for his marriage as well as his family. He would not betray his family.


    Such a man was rare. He was honestly a good catch.


    “Chief Milton, I wish you nothing but happiness.” Ste said sincerely and picked her ss up.


    All of sudden, there was a crack. Jasper had held the ss so hard that the ss shattered. The fragments stabbed into his palm, and blood started flowing out…
