âGrace wants to have dinner with me on Chinese New Yearâs Eve.
That means she wonât leave me, right?â
Knock, knock! Suddenly there was a knock on the door.
âCome in,â said Jason.
Terrence walked in and said to Jason, âMaster Reed, Lily has escaped!â
Jasonâs expression changed instantly, and his black eyes stared at Terrence. âWhat happened?â
âAccording to the police, Lily escaped at around three in the morning. The detention centerâs surveillance system was hacked, so it didnât capture anything at that time. We donât know who helped Lily escape,â said Terrence.
Jason was silent. âIs it the Atkinson family? Or the Stevens family? Or a crazy but competent fan of Lilyâs? Orâ¦â
âKeep an eye on the Atkinson family and the Stevens family. See what theyâre up to. Also, keep looking for Secretary Wang. Whatever it takes, find him as soon as possible!â said Jason.
He could not rest easy until he found Secretary Wang. He kept feeling as if something was about to happen.
âCould Secretary Wangâs disappearance have something to do with Grandpa? Did Old Master Reedâ¦
order Secretary Wang to do something?â
He would only know once he found Secretary Wang.
When Chinese New Yearâs Eve came, Grace finally saw Jason again.
He was wearing a black coat. His black hair was combed back, and his delicate features seemed more defined. There was an air of elegance around his tall and straight body, but the scarf and mittens he was wearing seemed to be a little out of place.
Grace recognized the scarf and mittens. She had knitted them for him a year before. She had taken apart an old sweater and knitted them into a scarf and a pair of mittens for him.
âWhatâs the matter? Why are you staring at me?â he asked as he walked up to her.
âNo⦠Nothing. Iâm just⦠surprised youâd wear the scarf and mittens,â said Grace. As soon as he approached her, she recalled what she had heard on the stairs that day.
She told herself to stop thinking about it!
âYou knitted these for me. Of course, Iâll wear them,â he said as he took off his scarf, mittens, and coat.
His hand almost subconsciously wanted to touch her but stopped in mid-air. He hesitated for a moment before pulling it back to his side, saying, âOkay, get some rest while I prepare New Yearâs Eve dinner.â
âYou?â Grace was stunned.
âThe chefs are here too. Iâll just be helping a little,â he said. Although he could have prepared the entire New Yearâs Eve dinner himself, his skills could not be compared to the chefsâ. He could only help, but he would prepare the dessert.
Grace was a little stunned as she watched Jason walk into the kitchen, put on an apron, and roll up his sleeves. He began to prepare and cook with the chefs in the kitchen.
Her eyes instantly reddened.
âHeâs a good husband and will be a good father. Donât I already know that? Donât I?â
She sat on the couch in the living room, thinking about the times they had spent together.
When Jason walked out of the kitchen, he only saw Grace asleep on the couch, covered with a blanket.
Snapier 1401 The couch was large enough so she would not fall off in her sleep.
Besides, the caregiver was beside her.
