Chapter 921
“Really?” muttered Jason. The scissors
were completely in his hand in the blink
of an eye.
He looked down at the scissors in his
hand, and there was a coldness on his
expression. For a moment, he felt the
urge to give her his life even if she did
want it!
‘How did that happen?
‘I never intended to give any woman my life. Only I can decide whether I should
live or die, right? Isn’t that what I was afraid of when I broke up with her?
‘Why do I still have such an idea even after we’ve broken up?’
“Jason, I’ve never thought about killing you.” His silence made her misunderstand. “Even if we’ve broken up,
it was sad and painful at the beginning,
but it’s all over now. I won’t kill someone
just because we broke up.”
He furrowed his brows. She was only explaining herself, but why did it hurt
him when he heard her say that it was all
over?
“You’ve never thought about killing me?” He turned his head to look at her.
+
“Yes,” she said.
“You don’t want me to die, then?” he
asked, his dark eyes looking straight into
hers as if he was trying to see through
her.
‘Don’t want… Using those words makes it seem like something is going on between
us.’
“I… don’t want you to die,” she said. ‘Yes, even though we’ve broken up, I’ve never wanted him dead or anything. All I want
is for us to live our lives well.’
However, even that seemed hard to do.
“Therefore, you won’t let me die, will
you?” His voice was like the floating clouds in the sky, leading one into a
trance.
‘How could I let him die?’ Grace only felt as if the person in front of her was telling a joke. ‘He’s Emerald City’s Master Reed. He has trillions of dollars worth
of fortune in his hands. Is he someone a
mere paralegal like me could kill?’
“It’s not a matter of will or won’t,” she
said.
“Just tell me, will you… or won’t you?” He
insisted on an answer.
She could feel her heart beating faster
and faster as he watched her. Almost
subconsciously, her lips parted as she
uttered the words, “I won’t.”
The corners of his lips rose slightly,
Even his eyes
and slowly, a smile grew. Even his
seemed to be smiling.
“Then you’d better remember what you’ve just said.” As he spoke, he handed the scissors back into her hand. “Alright,
go on.”
By the time the trim was over, Grace felt her hands freeze. Her stomach growled
with hunger.
She then had dinner at Reed Residence. It was no different from before, but she would at times have the misconception
that she was still dating him.
She thought that she would be able to go
home when dinner was over, but he kept
her in the study.
Jason was at the large desk in his study having a video conference with the
company’s senior executives, while
Grace sat at a small desk, flipping
through the case files she was working
It was the same small desk he had
bought for her when she wanted to
revise the laws and cases.
Grace was confused why Jason wanted to keep her in the study when he clearly
had work to do.
However, when she asked him about it
earlier, he had said, “It’s nice to have
you
around when I work. I feel a lot happier.”
