Chapter 618
My Gorgeous Wife is an Ex-Convict!
Children⦠In particular, families like his paid more attention to their lineage.
âSo what? When we first started dating, I already told you itâs all right even if Iâll never have children of my own. I love you, not the children.â She was the only thing in the world that mattered to him.
âHoweverâ¦â She was still in two minds about it.
âDoes this really not matter? How many men in this world can accept having no children for the rest of their life?â
âGrace! Children are only the future heirs to the Reed family to me. Iâm not a man of love. If you and I have children in the future, then I might love them. If we donât, then we can adopt one at the orphanage or from one of the Reed familyâs collateral relatives. It doesnât seem like a problem to me. All I care about is whether youâll marry me,â he said.
At the end of his sentence, his eyes stared at her with a burning intensity. She felt as if she had been caught in a net by him. She could not get away nor escape from him, and more than thatâ¦. She would not!
Yes, she loved him too much to break loose or run away.
âYes, I will.â The two words spat out of her mouth just like that.
A smile came over his face. Then, he took her hand and kissed her fingertips. âIâll never let you go for the rest of my lifeâ¦â
She only felt waves of warmth pouring into her heart from her fingertips.
It was a wonderful thing to be loved by him.
âThen⦠Never let go of me, Jay.â As she said so, she bent down, took his face in her hands, and kissed him once more on the lips.
It was the kiss of their vows.
They were going to grow old together!
âWhat? You and Jason are getting married?â Lina Sweeney did not expect to hear such sensational news on a date with her best friend.
âYes.â Grace had a sweet smile on her lips as she said to her, âYou know I donât have many friends, so Iâd like to ask you to be my maid of honor. I wonder if youâd like to.â
âIâd love to be your maid of honor, butâ¦â Lina Sweeney looked at Grace, hesitating to speak.
After all, Lina Sweeney thought Jason was a scary man when she learned that he was probably the culprit behind Evelynâs scandal.
Her best friend had nothing on Jason in terms of scheming, artifice, and ruthlessness.
Was it a good idea for Grace to marry Jason? Once some bumps in their marriage annoyed Jason, how would Grace protect herself then?
Could she only depend on Jasonâs love for her? How deep was Jasonâs love?
That fellow Hadwin Stephenson said Jason was the inferior one and the one being dominated in their relationship.
However, Lina Sweeney could not help but worry.
âWhatâs the matter? Just say what you have to say,â said Grace.
Lina Sweeney hesitated a little. âDo you love Jason enough to marry him, Grace?â
âI didnât expect to get married so soon either,â Grace said with a chuckle, âHowever, it seems quite natural. I love him, and he loves. me. Since heâs willing to accept all of me, for better or worse, then I think marrying him is the best choice for me.â
