Chapter 1553: Chapter 1553

His gaze made Grace feel a pang in her heart. ‘Has he misunderstood something?’

“Why trap Grace if you don’t love her?” Brian faced Jason. “Or are you trying to deny ever having said you don’t love her?”

Jason pressed his thin lips tightly as he stared at Brian.

The two men confronted each other.

Grace tried to pull her arm out of Brian’s hand, but Brian’s fingers were so tightly wrapped around her that she could not do so.

Jasper Reed, who was standing beside Grace, was visibly scared. Her small hand held Grace’s other hand tightly while her small face grew pale.

Suddenly, Jason’s thin lips curved as he sneered, “So what if I said that?”

As he spoke, he walked up to Brian, grabbed the man’s hand, and said, “Even if I don’t love her, Grace is still my wife. She can’t go anywhere as long as I don’t let her!”

“Even you can’t stop her if she wants to go!” said Brian. It was because he would do anything to help her leave.

She occupied his heart. It was alright if Jason could give her happiness. However, he did not want to miss out on Grace again if Jason did not love Grace.

“Well, then let’s see if I can stop her or not!” Jason said coldly. Then, he told the subordinate behind him, “Carry the little young lady away!”

His subordinate responded and went over to carry Jasper away.

However, Jasper held onto Grace’s hand and refused to leave. Grace could only say, “Jasper, be good.

Daddy, Uncle Hart, and I have something to talk about. Why don’t you follow this uncle inside and wait for me?”

The little one seemed a little hesitant.

“Be good. Follow Uncle into the house. Daddy and I will go in soon. Your brother should be back now.

Why don’t you go in and help me find out what homework he’s been tasked to do in the kindergarten today? Then we’ll help him finish it,” Grace said again.

The little one nodded and let go.

Jason’s subordinate quickly carried the little one into Reed Residence.

Grace finally let out a sigh of relief and turned to look at Brian. “Brian, let go. I won’t leave.”

“Are you never going to leave him even if he doesn’t love you?” asked Brian.

Grace said with great certainty, “Yes, I won’t leave him. I’ll never leave unless he asks me to leave one day.”

“You…” Brian was stunned. “Do you love him that much? How am I any worse than him? He doesn’t have to love you, but I can’t do it. I met you first… and… I looked for you for years…”

Grace was silent. There was no first come, first serve in relationships.

Brian was persistent about her and she believed he was sincere. However, her heart had no place for him.

Her silence made Jason’s eyebrows furrow slightly.
