It was because she knew how hard it was.
Masonâs past was different from that of ordinary children. Secretary Wangâs method of education was to completely destroy a childâs innocence.
Fortunately, Mason met Veronica Barlow. The little girl had given Mason warmth and something to hold on to.
Apart from Veronica Barlow it was difficult for Mason to open his heart up to others.
However, Mason was worried about her and Jay after seeing the news. Did that mean that they were slowly starting to have a place in Masonâs heart?
Maybe Mason would accept them one day.
Grace walked up to Mason and crouched down with her eyes looking straight into the little oneâs eyes.

Jason looked at Mason and somehow got lost in a trance.
Half an hour later, Jason ordered his staff to escort Veronica Barlow and Mason safely back to the He familyâs house. Finally, the ward was quiet again.
Grace asked Jason, âWhat were you thinking when you were looking at Mason just now?â
Jason pressed his lips together gently, surprised that she even noticed.
Looking at Jasonâs hesitant face, Grace said, âJay, weâre husband and wife. You can tell me anything.â
Jason then slowly said, âMason⦠looks more and more like
