Chapter 979

‘Warm his hands… Grace felt a rush of sadness. ‘It was great back then. It was so great when I thought I had a family!

However, the better it was, the crueler it seemed.

He leaned toward her. The face that could turn a woman on so easily got closer to her. “Or is it because of Brian? Since he has confessed to you, now you can’t stand my touch?”

His warm breath sprayed on her face as he spoke. His beautiful peach-blossom eyes were cold.

“It has nothing to do with Brian,” said Grace.

“Really?” His eyes sparkled a little. “In that case, you don’t love Brian either?”

“Does it matter whether I love him or not? Besides, we’re not a couple. We’re just brother and sister. So what even if I do fall for him?” She could not restrain herself and the words just blurted out.

His expression changed immediately, and the atmosphere in the car took a dip.

Grace only felt breathless. Jason’s face slowly approached her cheek, rubbing it gently.

His voice was like a light feather that gently fluttered in her cochlea. “Are you going to fall for Brian?”

She immediately stiffened. The hair on her body stood on end, and she felt a chill running up her spine.

Somehow, she had a feeling that he was angry… No, it was more serious than anger. It was fury! He was furious.

Even though his voice and movements were so gentle, he was furious.

‘If I say I’ve fallen for Brian, then maybe the consequence… would be too much for me to bear!’

“Hmm? Why aren’t you talking? Are you going to fall for Brian?” he asked again. He needed to get an answer from her today.

With some difficulty, she opened her mouth. “I… I’m not falling for Brian.” She had never wanted to fall for Brian. Even after she regained her memories, she just thought of him as a childhood playmate.

The pressure in the air seemed to relax suddenly.

A few moments later, his voice slowly rang in the car.

“Fortunately, you didn’t say you want to fall for Brian.

Otherwise…”

He looked up slowly. His bright eyes seemed to be covered with a veil, making it hard for people to see through him. “I wouldn’t know what I’ll do to you…”

It was as if it would be the end of the world to him if she said she would fall for Brian.

‘Thankfully, she didn’t say so…”

Grace felt a chill running through her. His words seemed more like a warning than a reassurance.

She even wanted to question him.

‘What does he want from me? He doesn’t love me, but he also won’t allow me to love someone else!

Am I just an emotionless. doll that can be manipulated into whatever role he wants?

‘Does he think that I could be a lover and a sister?’

“Your hands are so cold. Why don’t I warm them for you?” he muttered before lowering his head to start warming her hands.

Just as she had taught him.

He was warming her hands attentively. He was so gentle and attentive as if she was a treasure he cherished.

Her hands were getting warmer, but Grace felt as though her body was getting colder and colder…
