Jason, who was wearing a trench coat, walked over to Grace and pa**ed her a gla** of milk tea. “I heard you say that you want to try this brand of milk tea. I saw it just now, so I went to get you one. See if you like it. If you don’t, we’ll go and get another one you like later.”
Grace took the milk tea, which was warm, and held it in her hands. It warmed her hands up a bit.
She glanced at the brand name on the milk tea. She saw it on the news that the milk tea store had come to Emerald City, so she mentioned to him that the milk tea was quite famous on the internet.
However, she could not foresee that the next time they met, he would no longer be just Jason, but rather Jason.
She did not expect him to remember something she had said back then.
“Grace… Who is he?” Andrea Schwartz asked, staring at Jason in shock.
The man who looked regal and elegant was Grace’s… friend?! It was strange to think that this was possible!
Before Grace spoke, Jason said, “Is this woman going to set you up on a blind date? Didn’t you tell her you already had me?”
Andrea Schwartz gasped.
This man… Was he Grace’s friend? Maybe even… her boyfriend?!
His appearance alone could beat Sean Stevens, not to mention her a**ociate professor boyfriend!
Thinking of this, Andrea Schwartz looked at Tyler Barber.
Originally, she had been quite satisfied with her boyfriend.
Although he was 10 years older than her, he was an a**ociate professor. He could be a professor in a few years.
However, compared to Grace’s… friend, Andrea Schwartz suddenly felt that her boyfriend was not that presentable.
Grace was now stunned by Jason’s words.
Tyler Barber took the initiative to say to Jason, “My girlfriend didn’t know that her friend has a boyfriend. Sorry about that. My name is Tyler Barber. This is my girlfriend, Andrea
Schwartz.”
“My name is Yi.” Jason, on the other hand, simply gave his last name and left his first name out.
Tyler Barber did not care about it and said, “Mr. Reed, I’m truly sorry for causing this misunderstanding. Why don’t we all find someplace to sit down and have a chat?”
“Sure,” Jason replied. He then said to Grace, “Let’s find a place where you can sit and drink your milk tea.”
Grace felt a little strange. Jason was not a sociable person. Why did he agree to sit with the others?
In the meantime, Jason had taken her hand.
Eventually, the four reached a cafe. Tyler Barber offered the menu to Jason and Grace. “You can take a look and see what you want to order.”
“The coffee here is pretty good.” Andrea Schwartz introduced as if she was the host. “The coffee beans here are carefully selected by the cafe owner. The most famous one is Hawaii’s Kona. There are fewer and fewer Kona beans these days. You used to love coffee, right? Do you want to try a cup of Kona?”
Grace lowered her eyes and lightly said, “No, I’m fine with my milk tea.”
Meanwhile, Jason glanced thoughtfully at Grace.
“If you’re afraid that the coffee is too expensive, my boyfriend and I will treat you this time. It’s just a cup of coffee anyway,” Andrea Schwartz said it nicely, but it was obvious that she was just showing her superiority.
Jason smiled and said, “Grace wants milk tea, so I’ll try the cup of Kona instead.”
“Of course… Sure.” Andrea Schwartz almost fell for Jason’s smile.
She quickly gathered herself together but was jealous that Grace’s boyfriend was so handsome. How on earth did Grace find a boyfriend like that after losing Sean Stevens?
After the trio ordered their coffee, Andrea Schwartz purposely started a conversation about Grace’s current job in an attempt to hear more about Grace’s current plight and to observe Jason’s reaction.
However, Jason looked unperturbed. It was as if Grace’s answer, which he already knew, could not surprise him at all.
“Grace, why don’t I talk to the boss at the firm? Then you can go back and get a job at the firm. Even if you’re only working as a cleaner at the firm, it’s better than being a sanitation service worker,” Andrea Schwartz said, pretending to be nice.
Grace looked up at Andrea Schwartz, but her eyes grew colder and colder. “I have no intention of changing my job.”
“Is that so?” Andrea Schwartz curled her lips. “You’ll probably earn more being a cleaner at the firm than a sanitation service worker. Are you sure you don’t want to think about it?”
“I think I know exactly what I’m going to do.” Grace’s tone got colder too.
Andrea Schwartz wanted to say more, but Tyler Barber stopped her. Fortunately, the waiter came to serve their coffee, and the topic was temporarily brought to a half.
“Here. The coffee is expensive. It tastes better when it’s hot,” Andrea Schwartz said.
Jason lifted the coffee gracefully, sniffed the aroma, and took a sip.
Andrea Schwartz looked at the man in front of her and felt that he was just like those idols and celebrities. The mere scene of him drinking coffee was pleasing to the eye.
“Mr. Reed, how did you meet Grace?” Andrea Schwartz asked curiously.
“When it snowed, she took the initiative to talk to me. That’s how we met,” Jason said, smiling.
Huh? Just like that?! That seemed a bit too easy! “Grace pursued you, then?” Andrea Schwartz said again.
Jason glanced at Grace who was sipping milk tea with her head down. “I guess so.”
Grace almost spat her milk tea out! When did she do that?
However, at this point, it was clear that Andrea Schwartz had misunderstood her relationship with Jason, so Grace did not bother to explain. It was up to Jason to say whatever he wanted. It did not matter if Andrea Schwartz misunderstood.
“Then Grace is lucky to pursue such a handsome guy. How long have you known Grace?” Andrea Schwartz continued asking.
“A few months, I guess?” Jason rarely had the patience to answer these sorts of questions.
“In that case…” Andrea Schwartz looked at Grace and said seemingly without much thought, “Ever since Grace got out of prison, I’ve been hoping that she can find someone to rely on. After all, her previous prison experience was too devastating for her. Now that she has a boyfriend like Mr. Reed, it’s really…”
Andrea Schwartz suddenly stopped in the middle of her sentence. She saw Jason looking at her with a half-smile as if he was aware of all her ideas.
Andrea Schwartz felt as if the rest of the words were stuck in her throat. She could no longer go on.
“Why don’t you go on? It’s really what?” Jason asked, raising his eyebrows.
Andrea Schwartz looked embarra**ed and lamely said, “Really… really generous. After all, Grace has been in prison, and a lot of men mind if a woman has been to prison.”
“I don’t mind,” Jason said. He then looked indulgently at Grace. “No matter her past, I only want her to stay with me willingly.”
Grace was stunned. She raised her head in shock, looking into Jason’s rippling eyes.
Andrea Schwartz’s face paled as she gave a hollow laugh. “I didn’t know Mr. Reed… loves Grace so much. Do you have any plans to get married?”
“If she’s willing to marry me, of course I’ll marry her,” Jason said.
Grace only felt her heart twitching wildly as she stared at Jason in disbelief as if she had just heard something unbelievable.
“How is that possible?!” Andrea Schwartz blurted.
Jason lazily glanced at Andrea Schwartz. “What’s impossible?”
His eyes were so cold that Andrea Schwartz could not help but tremble while fear seemed to rise from the bottom of her heart.
