Chapter 471
“No… Nothing. I just remembered that I’m going to visit
Grandma tomorrow, and I haven’t bought anything yet,”
Grace said. In actually fact, she had bought a few things, but
the Atkinson family had thrown them into the trash can.
“About that, I bought them for you and left them on the coffee
table,” Jason said.
Grace looked at the coffee table in her room and saw a familiar packaged bag. It was… the same packaging bag
she had received when she bought the pastries at the mall that day. Had he… bought the same ones?
“Are they the ones I bought today?” Grace asked breathlessly.
“Yes, I bought a few extra ones,” Jason said.
“How did you know what… uh, what I bought?” Grace asked doubtfully. Even if Jason had watched the video, the
most he could have seen was the packaging bag.

It explained the matter. Grace finally understood that such
things might not be that easy for the others but were easy
him.
“By the way, I yelled abruptly just now. Did I bother you?”
asked Grace.
“There’s nothing you can do to bother me.” Jason crouched
down beside her bed. “You’re my number one priority, no
matter what.”

Grace stared blankly at the man in front of her. Now, he was not so high up as he used to be. He was even…
looking at her with his head up.
It was as if the person who was high up in the sky had become
her.
Jason took Grace downstairs to get something to eat and watched as the latter gulp downed what was supposed to
have been dinner but was now a midnight snack. His eyes darkened slightly as he thought of the phone call Harold
had made to him before she woke up.
Harold seemed as if he wanted to test how much he cared
about Grace. Throughout the call, he did not stop mentioning.
the car accident.
If not because of the car accident… back then, why was he so uneasy in front of her? It was as if he was afraid that
she
would discover the truth.
He would make the Atkinson family pay for the justice they owed Grace. He would also clear her name because
that was
what he owed her!
“What’s the matter? Why are you looking at me like that?”
Suddenly, the person who had been eating with her head lowered was looking up at him.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm“Nothing. I just think it’s great looking at you like this,” Jason replied.
Yes, it was great being able to see her up close, right next to him, and quietly.
At last, he had someone he desperately wanted.
The next day, Grace got up and set off with Jason to the town. her grandmother lived in.
Before leaving the house, Grace called her grandmother once more and gave her an estimated time of arrival.
Over the phone, Grace’s grandmother sounded lively. Hence, she was vaguely reassured.
Presumably, her grandmother’s current physical condition
should be all right.
Nevertheless, not wanting to enter the town in such a high profile, Grace took the opportunity to ask Jason if the car
they
drove could be a little more normal.
To no avail, the most normal car the Reed family had was a
BMW that cost about 2 million dollars.
Grace sighed. All right, a car worth two million was considered pretty good for the average person. However, it has
to be said that for Jason, the vehicle seemed as “normal” as it could be.
