Chapter 766
‘Therefore, luckily she’s not… She’s not…
His heart seemed to be aching again.
Brian pursed his thin lips tightly. ‘From
now on, I’ll wipe this woman from my
heart once and for all! I’ll leave no trace
behind!’
Grace walked up to Jason, only to find
him strangely quiet. His beautiful peach blossom eyes were now as dark as the deep sea, giving out a lonely vibe.
‘Is… he angry? Is it because he saw me
with Brian? Or is it because I had spent
too much time on the hill and made him
worry?’
However, there were so many people
here, so she could not explain herself right now. She could only think of
explaining it to him when they were
alone.
“I’m sorry I worried you! I was going to
call you, but… I accidentally broke my
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtphone and couldn’t contact you,” she
said.
Not only did her phone break, but also
Brian’s phone. Its screen cracked when he was saving her life.
Both were unable to make calls on their
phones, so they were unable to
communicate with the outside world.
“Is that so?” He lowered his head, raised
his hand, and gently pushed some of the
tousled hair around her cheek behind
her ear. “It’s getting late. Let’s go back.”
As he spoke, he looked at her long black dress that was quite soiled, making it
seem dusty. Then, he suddenly bent over,
carried her in his arms, and walked down
the hill.
“Jason, I… I can walk by myself. I don’t need to be carried,” Grace said quickly.
After all, he would be tired carrying her
down the hill like this.
He hung his head low, yet his eyes were
not as gentle as usual. They were dark like the thick night. “Brian can carry you on his back but I can’t carry you
down
the hill?”
His cold voice escaped his mouth and
made her choke. She did not know what
to say all of a sudden.
He looked away from her face and
continued to carry her down the hill.
Even though the way he held her
was gentle and even though it was a
summer evening where a warm breeze
was blowing past their bodies, she felt
somewhat cold.
It was as if there was a chill all over him,
and she was being eroded by it…
Grace bit her lip a little. Jason felt
somewhat strange to her at this moment.
‘He must have misunderstood something. It should be all right once I explain it to him later’. She could only comfort
herself
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmin this way.
Once they had reached the foot of the
hill, Grace discovered that there were
troops of police and quite a few police
cars there. There were even roadblocks
down the hill.
With such a spectacle, people who did not know probably thought they were catching an important suspect!
Jason took Grace in his arms and got into a car that was waiting at the side. The
car left the foot of the hill immediately,
and Jason did not say a word.
The atmosphere in the car seemed depressing for a moment.
Terrence, sitting in the passenger’s seat,
tried to revive the mood by jokingly
saying, “Miss Cummins, you mustn’t be out of touch next time. Young Master Reed had put the hills on lockdown
just
to find you.”
‘Put the hills on lockdown?’
Grace almost choked herself. ‘That’s just
too much.’
“Jason, I’m sorry I made you worry,’
Grace said sheepishly.
