Chapter 916

She looked at him in astonishment. “Are you moving here?”

“Is there something wrong? Didn’t we live together before?” he asked, half amused.

‘How could it be the same?’ Grace pressed her thin lips together. For a moment, she did not know how to answer.

“Or is that you just don’t want to live with me, Sis?” he asked as he lowered his face close to her cheek.

His breath was on her face. His face that was a masterpiece by God was so close to her that she could make out his eyelashes and their fluttering.

Subconsciously, she wanted to turn away to avoid his eyes.

However, the next moment, his fingers grabbed her chin to force her to look at him.

“What’s the matter? Is it difficult to answer?” His voice was cold, and his black eyes stared at her with a keen light that seemed to see through her. “Are you regretting it? Are you regretting that you agreed for Kyla Corbyn?”

“I… won’t regret it. It’s just that I can’t get used to the changes… as quickly as you can. Jason, I want you to give me some time to get used to it again, alright?”

Grace said bitterly.

Her voice was almost pleading, and there was a twinkle in his eyes.” If this is your request, then fine. I can live apart from you for a while to give you time to get used to it, but I don’t like waiting too long.”

She was relieved.

“Also, call me Jason.” His fingers caressed her red lips.

Her lips… were burning. “Jay…” she called out as he wished.

He smiled and put his arms around her.

He buried his face deep in her neck and said in a gentle voice, “Finally, you’re my sister again. From now on, you’ll be good and stay with me. Don’t leave me, alright?”

Her body was stiff, and she felt a chill all over her.

It was so warm in his arms, but she felt so cold… So cold…

Grace met Kyla Corbyn the next day. Kyla Corbyn had calmed down, but she did not look so good and appeared haggard.

“Are you okay?” asked Grace.

Kyla Corbyn forced a smile. “I’m fine. I heard my mother said she called you yesterday and you helped me out.” However, at this point, her face changed to worry. “Did you go to Jason for me yesterday?”

The man who came to Martin Weiss claimed to be Jason’s private secretary.

Come to think of it, only a person like Jason could make Martin Weiss let her and Nelson go.

After all, Emerald City was Jason’s territory.

Grace nodded.

“He didn’t ask for anything, did he?” Kyla Corbyn asked hastily, fearing Grace would suffer for her sake.

“It’s alright. He just wants me to be his sister again,” said Grace as she tried to play it down.
