As the years went by, the hideous scar became shallower and shallower, but it remained there.

With today’s technology, he could easily choose to remove the scar with high-tech methods, but he never did.

It was as if to remind himself of something with the scar.

If the source of his insecurity toward relationships was his mother, what about her? She was also an insecure person.

Due to Sean Stevens’s betrayal, she was even afraid of love. She once thought she might live alone for the rest of her life.

Now, it was he who gave her that sense of security and made.

her want to love someone again.

“What’s wrong? Why are you looking at me like that?” Jason looked up just in time to catch Grace’s almond-shaped eyes. The way she was looking at him was with distress mixed with. compassion and pity, as well as other emotions that he could not understand.

neck. “I’ll be good to you, Jay. I’ll always be good to you.”

If he lacked security, she would give him security.
