Chapter 1424: Chapter 1424

It was as if he was afraid of something!

‘What is he afraid of?

‘Is it because of Harold Atkinson? What Harold Atkinson said last was…

Grace suddenly seemed to have realized something and said, “Jay, are you… scared that I’ll be angry?” she guessed.

His body stiffened suddenly, and his breathing became rapid.

However, he did not answer her, and his arms closed a little tighter around her.

Grace instantly knew she was right. It seemed to be because of what Harold Atkinson had said at the end.

After all, Jay’s reaction to what Harold Atkinson had said earlier… The rage and murderous look in his eyes had been frightening.

It was as if Harold Atkinson… had said something that crossec his bottom line.

“Don’t worry, I won’t be mad!” said Grace.

Jason’s lips trembled, and even his voice quivered as he spoke, “You won’t… get mad?”

“Yes, I won’t.” She smiled and lifted her hands to hold his face. “Harold Atkinson probably came to look for you because of Atkinson Garden today. I know you want to get justice for what happened to me back then, so you can rest assured that what he said won’t affect our relationship.”

He looked at her blankly. “Do you really not care about his words at all?”

“You didn’t know me back then, did you? It didn’t matter to you back then because I was only someone who had killed your fiancée. Those people only made it difficult for me in prison to please you.”

Her eyes looked at him calmly, and her fingers touched the outer corners of his eyes. “Jay, I had already let this matter go when I started dating you and then fell in love with you. Didn’t you tell me that you wouldn’t have let me suffer if you had known me earlier?”

His eyelashes fluttered, and there was a complicated glint in his eyes.

‘Does she think this is the only fear I have? She thinks that was the only time I stood on the sidelines and watched.

‘But what I’m afraid of is… when she learns about the truth of her imprisonment!’

“Alright. See, I don’t care about it anymore. You don’t have to either,” said Grace.

“You really don’t care about it?” he murmured.

“Yes,” she said.

If… she could still say so when she found out about everything someday, how wonderful would that be?’ His eyelashes lowered gently while his cheek brushed against her palm. “If only I had met you earlier and fallen in love with you earlier, how wonderful would that have been?”

Then everything else would probably have been different too.

“Let’s talk to each other about everything from now on, okay? Jay, I don’t want us to be like Kyla and Martin Weiss.”

Jason pressed his thin lips together. “Did you see Martin Weiss again today?”

Grace said, “Yeah, I met him when I went to see Kyla, so I took him to meet the doctor who performed the so-called miscarriage operation on Paisley Daniels. Martin Weiss’s 21 1424 reaction… It was just like what you said. He’s indeed in love with Kyla. But because he’s still in love with her, the truth hit him all the harder.”

After a pause, Grace said, “If he had been willing to confront his feelings after falling in love with Kyla and talk to Kyla about their elders’ feud, they might not have arrived at this point.”

“But maybe it’s best to keep some things hidden and keep the other party in the dark forever,” muttered Jason.
