Chapter 725
Her uneasiness seemed to be heightened by his fragility.
“Why are you saying that all of a sudden?”
“Say you’ll never betray me, okay?” His voice was already hoarse, and it sounded a lot like a plea.
For a moment, other than anxiety, she felt a pang in her heart.
‘He’s Jason! Why would he use such a tone to beg me to never betray him?’
She looked past him to see the memorial tablet behind him.
She knew it was his father’s memorial tablet. The man with gentle eyes chose death because the one he loved abandoned him.
That… Was a betrayal.
His father was betrayed by his mother.
Then, he was betrayed by his father who left him alone in the
world.
His eyes were still fixed on her, waiting for her to give him an
answer.
Her nose felt sore. He seemed to get whatever he wanted, but who knew he had such a deep trauma.
Now, she just wanted to calm his vulnerability and trauma.
“I’ll never betray you,” her eyes returned to his face to meet his
eyes as she said in a tone of great certainty.
“Really?” he murmured, his voice sounding so soft.
“Really,” she answered.
The next moment, his cheek brushed against her palm as if
the warmth of her hand could warm the cold.
She would not know how miserable he had felt when he stood before his father’s memorial tablet just now.
Even after so many years, his father’s incident was still so bloody cruel to him!
His father had said, “Jason, don’t love someone the way I did. love someone too much, you’ll only hurt yourself in the
If
you
end.”
‘However, I’ve fallen in love with someone, and I love her
deeply, Dad.
‘Besides, Grace is unlike Mom, so I won’t end up like you.
‘We won’t end up the same!’
“Then, you must remember what you promised me tonight,” he muttered, kissing her on the palm. “Grace, I won’t be able to take it if you betray me.”
‘If she really betrays me one day, I don’t know what I would do.
Maybe… I’ll destroy her too!’
When Grace woke up the next day, Jason was no longer in the
room.
She frowned when she thought of how he made her promise never to betray him last night.
He might seem strong, but he was more insecure than her.
‘Maybe when we’re spending time together, I should say more I love yous to make him feel more secure?’ thought Grace.
Suddenly, the reminder alarm on her phone rang.
Grace looked at the schedule on her phone and got up.
She almost forgot that she had made an appointment with the psychiatrist with the last name Leng today.
