He seemed to sense what she was thinking, and his thin lips parted lightly. Dont worry. I wont let the old man have the chance to hurt you.
She gently lowered her eyes and got up to put the empty bowl aside. Rest well. Ill go back to my room first.
However, before she could turn around, his hand had already grabbed her sleeve. He looked at her with his chin slightly up, and there was a glint in his bright eyes.
She asked, Jason, what are you doing?
You feel something for me, dont you? Otherwise, you wouldnt watch over me, make me take my medicine, make porridge for me His hoarse voice escaped his mouth little by little. His expression was one of supplication and longing. Grace, fall in love with me, alright? I never knew I could love a woman so deeply!
He was the high and mighty Master Reed to others, but he was willing to swallow all his pride just to ask her to love him!
Her mind seemed to go blank for an instant,
Brian tried to track Grace down with almost every connection
he had, but it was not that easy. He had connections, but so did Jason. Of course, Jason could stop him from tracking them

When he told his parents that he was in love with Grace, his parents were shocked and disapproved. They were unwilling to accept Grace.
They even tried to persuade him not to get too obsessed.
However Im already obsessed with her. The obsession is so intense I just cant get myself out of it. Even if I have to go against Jason, I still dont want to give up!
Brian, did you hear me? said Stella. She spoke until her mouth was dry, but Brian seemed to be thinking of something else and did not respond.
Could he be thinking about Grace?

Brian looked at her with some indifference after hearing what she said. Your cousin is missing, yet youre thinking about your birthday party?

Maybe theyre having a sweet time with each other right now she said deliberately to make Brian give up on Grace, Maybe she and Jason will show up in a few days, all intimate again. Besides I want to use my birthday to celebrate our reunion. I cant not celebrate anything just because of Grace, can I?
Brian pursed his thin lips for a moment and then said, Alright, I see. Ill get someone to prepare your birthday party. You can talk to them if you need anything.
Stellas face lit up, and she was about to say something when Brians phone suddenly rang.
