"Do I frighten you?" he asked.
She hesitated. "I know you're just treating me like a game. You're interested in me now because you
think it's fun. Once your interest wanes, then I'm worthless. If I offend you by accident, things might be
as bad as when I was in prison."
She did not want any more of those dark and miserable days!
"Aren't you afraid that you'll offend me now by saying that?" he asked.
Her body suddenly stiffened. Yes, of course, she was afraid, but she chose to say it anyway.
Her expression said it all.
There was a terrible silence all around.
Grace lowered her head, and all she could hear was her breathing and heartbeat. Jason did not say
anything, but she could feel that his eyes were on her.
No one knew how much time had passed. Suddenly, she heard his voice. "If I say I'm not treating you
as a game, will you want to stay with me?"
She raised her head suddenly and looked at him in astonishment as if she had not expected him to say
that.
"Will you?" His eyes were still fixed on her.
She gave a bitter smile. "What am I supposed to do by your side? Continue to be your sister? Or be
your playmate? Either way, I'm afraid I'm not up to the task."
His thin lips drew a straight line, and his eyes grew cold. The word ‘wife’ was stuck in his throat.
If she asked, he could marry her. However, had Jason ever needed to ask a woman to be his wife?! Owned by NôvelDrama.Org.
He would never be like his father to lower himself in ways to beg a woman to be with him, and he knew,
with Grace, if he asked, she would refute him.
He suddenly gave her a faint smile and bent down slowly. He brushed her cheek gently. "Since Sis has
already said so, let's go ahead and see who is more patient. Will I be the first to give up on keeping Sis
with me, or will Sis be the first to beg to stay with me?"
Grace became slightly short of breath, and her body shook as he got closer.
He was always so unpredictable. He could look like he was angry at one second and then be like the
calm after a storm the next second.
And always, always, she was drawn to this man.
His strength and scent drew her in and made it hard to want to let him go.
Having said that, Jason walked over to the table, pulled up a chair, and sat down.
Grace was relieved and felt another cold sweat break out on her back and palms.
Suddenly, she caught a glimpse of him casually picking up her phone. She shuddered and tried to grab
her phone back from him.
However, it was too late. He had already seen what was on the phone.
Jason slightly raised his eyebrows and looked at Grace, half smiling. "Why, are you searching for news
about me? If you have something to ask me, you can just call me and ask instead of searching the
internet like this."
She gasped. How could she explain this? Could she say that she just saw an influencer's live stream
and, out of curiosity, searched for the relevant content?
"The party you attended today just started when you left. Doesn't it matter if you just come out like
that?" She could only digress.
"It's just a party," he said nonchalantly. There were many parties like that in a year, and sometimes, he
did not even bother to attend any of them at all.
"Sis hasn't finished eating yet. Go on." He glanced at her half-eaten takeaway food, then calmly waited
for her to sit and eat.
