Chapter 72 – My Gorgeous Wife is an Ex-Convict Novel PDF Free (Grace & Jason)

Filed to story: My Gorgeous Wife is an Ex-Convict Novel by Anastasia Marie

At this moment, Sean no longer felt that it was because of his relationship with the Atkinson family that Jason had come to attend the engagement ceremony. He felt as if Jason was afraid… That he and Grace would have a chance in the future, so he had to come to watch the engagement ceremony personally. To ensure that Sean would be off the market, so to speak.

Did Jason even consider Jennifer Atkinson to be as important as she had been back then?

It could mean only one thing-that Grace was of great importance to Jason Reed.

Sean still could not believe it.

Sean left as if he was treading on air.

Once the engagement ceremony started, Jason watched the exchange of the engagement rings on the stage and listened to the engagement speeches between Sean and Lily. A smile flashed across his face.

It was estimated that tomorrow, the photos of Sean and Lily’s engagement party would come out. Then it would be impossible for Grace and Sean to be together.

He didn’t really think that Grace would ever welcome back Sean after what he’d done or how he’d deserted her, but he wasn’t taking any chances.

After the engagement ceremony ended, the hall was filled with people congratulating the glowing couple. However, Jason left the scene and walked out by himself.

A silver Bentley waited outside. Terrence opened the door respectfully, and Jason hopped in.

“Mr. Reed, will you be going back to the rental apartment now?” Terrence asked.

“Yeah,” Jason leaned against the back of the seat. Then, he slowly closed his eyes.

Today, Brian Hart’s presence surprised him. He hadn’t thought that the woman that Brian had taken a fancy to would actually be Evelyn Cummins, Grace’s half-sister.

In his opinion, there was nothing worthwhile about that woman at all. He really didn’t know why Brian had taken a fancy to her.

However, this was someone else’s business. Naturally, he wouldn’t care too much about it, as long as Evelyn didn’t try to cause trouble for Grace in the future. Otherwise… he would naturally make Evelyn suffer tens of thousands of times more.

“Mr. Reed, Director Atkinson called to ask why you left in advance. I think he is worried about whether you are annoyed or not,” Terrence Klein said.

“Just call him back and tell him that I am very happy tonight, but I am a little tired, so I have to go back early,” Jason replied.

The car drove to the entrance of the community. Jason got out of the car, walked to the narrow door, took out the key, and opened the door.

In the room, dim light was pouring down.

Grace was knitting under the light. When she saw him coming back, she looked up at him with a sweet smile. “You’re back. It’s pretty cold outside, isn’t it?”

“It’s fine,” he said, looking at the wool in her hand. “Where did you get the wool?”

“I took apart some old sweaters to make a scarf and gloves for you. I have nothing to do at home these days, so I might as well find something to do.”

It was only then that he noticed that there were still a few labels on the table, and they were from a brand that he knew. “I recognize this brand. It’s not cheap, is it? Why would you tear apart your clothes? Isn’t it better for you to wear them?”

He picked up the label and waved it.

Grace said, “They aren’t cheap, but the style of these sweaters is a little bit over the top. They are not suitable for me to wear now, so it’s better to put them to good use.”

That sweater was originally similar to the raincoat. Paired with narrow leggings, boots, and makeup, it would look very elegant. But now, she had no occasion to wear this kind of clothes, nor did she have a pair of narrow leggings and boots that could match her.

There was no chance to wear it at all.

“I think this wool should be enough to make a scarf and gloves. Do you like the color?” she asked. The color of the wool was oat, which was neutral and suitable for both men and women.

Jason stared at the woman before him, and he marveled at her. Where everyone around him was consumed with taking, with what they could get out of him, all she did was give.

“I like it.” Jason smiled slightly and put down the tag in his hand. “Sister, I will buy you a thousand or ten thousand sweaters in the future. You will wear them as much as you like.”

“A thousand or ten thousand? How would I even have a chance to wear them all?” Grace couldn’t help laughing. “I

don’t need such things. Come here. Please. Let me measure the size of your hand.”

As she spoke, she took a leather ruler and took his hand to make some measurements.

He frowned. He could feel that her hand was very cold when their skin touched. “Hey, don’t do this.”

“What?”

“Don’t knit, your hands are too cold,” he said.

“It’s okay. Hey, stay still. If you keep moving your hand, the measurements will be no good,” she muttered before taking his hand and once again adjusting the positions of his fingers. “We’re in the roomright now, so it can’t get that cold. If it was in the early morning outside or when I was sweeping the road at night, now that’s cold. Even if I wore gloves during those times, my hands would get so cold that I could barely feel them.”

Jason’s eyes seemed to be covered by a thin layer of fog, which covered up the guilt in his eyes. Actually… he could have easily made her stay away from this kind of life and prevented her from doing this kind of hard work.

Perhaps in the beginning, he only felt that it was interesting, so he stayed by her side and called her “sister.” But now, ever since he started to have different feelings for her and planned to bring her under his wing, there was no need for her to do this hard work again.

“It’s done!” she proclaimed.

After finishing the measurements on his hand, she lowered her head and started knitting again. However, because her fingers had been injured in the past, her movements were not as agile as they could be. The knitting speed was also slower as a result.

It… hurt him to see her so injured.

Injuries that on some level were due to him.

“Sister, today is the day of Sean’s engagement to Lily.” He suddenly said, “On the way back, I saw that the street where their engagement party’s venue was at was still blocked. Many people ran over to see.”

“I know. I saw it on the Internet. There were so many people there earlier that no one could squeeze in even if they wanted to,” she said. There was not a trace of oddness in her voice.

“Don’t you feel disappointed?” He watched her closely and observed her reaction.

“Disappointed?” Her hands paused and she seemed a little surprised.

“If you hadn’t broken up with Sean, the grand occasion today might have been yours,” he said.

“Even if nothing happened to me back then and we didn’t break up, all of this would not be mine. The Stevens Family had never accepted me. Even if nothing happened, I would have broken up with Sean sooner or later.” Grace looked calm.

Back then, every time she went to the Stevens Family, she would make great efforts to get on the Stevens parents’ good side, hoping to be accepted into the family.

But, the result was nothing more than a joke.

Once, at a gathering, she was mocked by Sean’s mother on the spot, who called her a sparrow that wanted to become a phoenix and said that she would never succeed.

However, at that time, she had to smile obsequiously and ease the atmosphere after being insulted. Thinking about it, she really didn’t need to make herself go through all that. No, she would never subject herself to such treatment again.

The car accident simply made her see reality more clearly.

Jason smiled slightly as if he was quite satisfied with Grace’s words. “My sister deserves better! Sean is really nothing.”

“That’s right. If Lily likes such a man, then she can go ahead and have him,” Grace smiled.

“Did you see any other interesting news?” he asked casually.

“Yes, I did. I saw Jason Reed’s back,” Grace said. “Speaking of which, he is quite mysterious. There are no pictures of him on the Internet. Someone posted a photo showing his back today, and it didn’t take long before the post was deleted.”
