Chapter 374
“Have you forgotten what happened to your father?” The old man once again brought up the past.
“I haven’t forgotten, and I’ve said it, I won’t walk the path my father did,” Jason said.
“If that’s the case, you should chase that woman named Grace out of the Reed Residence and never
let her appear in your life again!” Old Master Reed growled.
“I’m afraid that’s not possible.” Jason’s gaze darkened. His heart tightened momentarily when he heard
the old man’s words and rejected the idea out of reflex. He would not even
think twice about it.
“You…” Old Master Reed choked on his breath as he stared at
his grandson.
“Grandpa, I will not walk the path my father did. I’ll make sure that everything is under control. I’ll make
Grace so used to my presence that she won’t be able to leave me at all.” Jason had a light smile on his
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtface, but the threat in his gaze was evident. “Therefore, I hope that grandpa will not meddle with my
affairs. If you do try to interfere, then I can’t guarantee that I won’t do anything to limit your freedom.”
Old Master Reed was so angry that his complexion turned
red. Only after coughing a few times did he calm down. Nevertheless, it was evident that the old man
had been infuriated. “Are you threatening me?”
“No, I’m just reminding you.” Jason stared at the old man. “If anything bad happens to her, then both of
us will be standing at different camps!”
Old Master Reed might have been weak, but his gaze was still
sharp as he glared at his grandson. He understood that Jason
was not humoring him.
“What is so good about that woman that has made you so bewitched by her?” It was something that
Old Master Reed could not figure out.
Old Master Reed had asked his men to catch Grace and
bring her to him to have a look once. To him, she was a plain Jane that was a huge difference from the
ideal granddaughter-in-law he had in mind.
“Because she’s the first woman to have ever made me call
her Sis.” Jason smiled. It was because she once said that they could rely on each other from that day
onward.
It was her that gave him a sense of home once again after so
many years.
Each time he called her Sis, it made him feel that they were
indeed family.
He wanted to retain that feeling.
Old Master Reed looked in disbelief at his grandson as if his reply earlier was some joke that had been
cooked up on the
spot.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmJason casually responded, “Grandpa, you won’t understand.”
Old Master Reed bellowed, “There will come a day when you’ll regret it!”
“So grandpa, perhaps you should try to live for many more years to see if that day when I will regret it
will come.” Jason smiled slightly.
“Good… excellent! I await the day to see your face filled with regret!” Old Master Reed challenged in
response.
Later that afternoon, Grace exited the restaurant with the dishes she had cooked in the morning as well
as the incense and ingots she had bought the night before. She then headed for her mother’s grave.
In the past, when her mother passed away, her father did not purchase a plot of land in the cemetery.
He merely buried her in the burial area of his friend’s village.
The reason being it was cheaper.
Back then, her father merely needed to give the villagers a few sticks of cigarettes and bribe his way
through. It was way cheaper than buying a plot of land in the cemetery.
Later on, the idea of moving her mother to a better grave. on an auspicious date came across her
mind, after all, her mother’s grave was merely a simple one in the mountains near the village.
