After Grace left, Jason looked around the small rental apartment and felt empty inside.
He picked up the scarf she had placed on the table and wrapped it around his neck. The corner of his lips curled into a slight smile.
When Jason walked out of the rental apartment, Terrence had already been waiting outside for a long time. When he saw his boss, he was stunned. The president had never liked wearing a plain scarf, but then he was wearing one.
And when Jason walked closer to him, Terrence studied the threads on the scarf and the knitting method. He was almost sure that it was a hand-made scarf.
There seemed to be only one answer to Mr. Reeds hand-woven scarf.
This scarf was probably knitted by Grace!
Mr. Reed, were going to
Lets go to the hospital. Today, I probably should have dinner
with the Old Master. Jason ordered.
Okay, Terrence responded. He started the car and headed
for the hospital.
The bus stopped at a place not far from the southern
entrance of the town where Grace got off. It had already been
three years, and this town seemed to have changed a lot.
Some of the muddy roads had been rebuilt with cement.
On the way, she met some of the neighbors who used to live
close to her grandmothers house. They all pointed at her and
whispered to each other. Grace was already used to this.
Ever since she was released from prison, those who knew her
in the past could not help but talk about her when they saw
her.
When she arrived at her grandmothers house, she found it to
be crowded with her relatives.
Seeing her, her second uncle forced a smile and said, Grace! Come on in and have a seat. Weve been waiting for you for a long time.
Grace was a little surprised. After all, after what had
happened to her, her second uncle had even sent someone to tell her to not implicate them at the courthouse.

Come, come, sit down! Her third aunt walked over with a
warm expression and pulled Grace down to the chair. Then, her uncle-in-law, aunt-in-law, second uncle-in-law, and
third uncle All these relatives surrounded her and asked her about her well-being.
Grace had a flash of doubt in her eyes. Wheres grandma?
she asked.
Grandma is taking a nap right now. You can go see her when
she wakes up, her third aunt said.
Her uncle then said, Grace, now that you are out of prison,
you have to be a decent person. Youre not with anyone now, right? Women should always find a man to rely on. I will
introduce you to a good partner later.
Uncle, I dont want to find anyone to get together with right
now. Grace refused.
Sigh, child, whats wrong with you Her uncle seemed to want to say something else, but her third aunt winked at him, and he didnt say anything more.
At this moment, Graces grandmother, Susie, was in an intense argument with her husband.
I disagree. I absolutely dont agree to marry her off to that fool. Shes going to ruin her whole life! Susie shouted.
Mr. Kelleigh snorted and said, She has already been ruined for a lifetime. What do you think Grace can do now that she
is out of prison? I have asked around about it. Shes a street cleaner now. Its better for her to get married while she is still young. The Miller family said that as long as Grace gives birth to a baby for the Miller family, they will support her for a lifetime. I am doing this for her sake.
What do you mean youre doing it for her sake? You are
simply greedy for the Miller familys money! Susie said with
hatred, You are selling Grace off!
Mom, what do you mean we are selling her off? The third aunt came over and said, Dad is doing this for our whole family. My nephews are going to get married soon. Now, with the 300,000 dollars of the Miller family, they can at least get a down payment if they buy a house in the town. Mom, you cant let your grandson fail to get a wife.
