“I’m only hoping that you can get the police to release them.

This is only a piece of cake for you,” she anxiously said.

“It is a piece of cake, but… so what?” He looked at her stoically,

a stark contrast to her anxious demeanor.

Her arms that were hanging by the sides of her body stiffened a little. She took a deep breath and looked into his eyes. “What do you want to exchange before you release them?”

His gaze darkened as he put down the pen that was in his hand. He stood up and slowly approaching Grace.

He gently cupped her hands. “Sis, your hands are so cold.”

Her body immediately stiffened. Her hands were indeed much colder when compared to his.

He looked down, took both her hands, and placed them on his palms. He slowly rubbing them, trying to give her warmth with the friction.

He was doing it as if he was used to do it all the time. His eyes carried gentleness with a hint of caution as if she was his precious babe.

‘My God! What am I thinking!’ Grace immediately chided herself inwardly for thinking nonsense when she heard his murmurs ringing in her ears once again.

“Sis, are your hands warmer now?”

Üm… yes they are.” She wanted to withdraw her hands from his grip, but he held them tightly in his.

“There’s no rush. I’ll rub them a little longer to make them warmer.”

Grace was perplexed by the man in front of her. His current gentleness was a stark contrast from his earlier aloofness and mockery. It was as if he was two different persons.

Her hands may be warmer now, but her heart was becoming more uneasy.

“What do you want before you let them go?” Grace could not help but ask once again.

“Sis, why did you suddenly change your mind and want to let them go?” He answered her question with another question.

“My maternal grandmother had fallen ill and is hospitalized now. I do not want her to be worried about these matters,” she answered truthfully.

“Is that it? Looks like your grandmother holds an important position in your heart. For her sake, you’re willing to come here and beg me.” His voice was so gentle, like a low-tone cello that was gently strumming along.

Her senses were filled with his scent. Her blood seemed to all flow toward her hands that were being warmed by him.

“What about me? What position do I hold in your heart, Sis?” He suddenly looked up. That pair of beautiful eyes were now staring sternly at her as if trying to see through her.

She began to tremble as her almond eyes met his dark gaze.

Within his pupils, she could see her anxious look being reflected.

He bent down as his face inched closer to her. His warm. breath blew against the skin of her face. “I don’t think I’m in the most important position. If I was, you wouldn’t have left without any hesitation back then. I guess I hold some insignificant position in your heart.”

Her hands may still be warm, but her body was feeling colder by the minute.

Grace remained stunned as she looked at this handsome face that was just inches away from her. The expression on his face looked so gentle, even his actions of warming her hands were done so gently. However, the gaze he held in his eyes was icy cold.

At that moment, she seemed to have understood something, but she was not ready to give up yet. “Will you… let them go?”

“No.” He gave a short answer.

She felt her heart falling deeper into the abyss. ‘How can I forget? He is Jason. I’m guessing he had never been rejected by any woman before!

A proud man like him would never allow such a thing to happen.

“So, you’re only willing to see me just to prove to me that you’ll never agree no matter how much I beg, right?” She said those words with much difficulty.

His lips curved into a thin smile. He lifted one hand and lightly swept away some stray strands of hair along her forehead, tucking them behind her ear using his long fingers. “Back then, you said that you didn’t want to stay by my side and that you didn’t need me to help you change your destiny. You said you would not regret it…”

His actions exuded elegance while his voice was so gentle.

He bent his waist and positioned his lips by her earlobes,

breathing effortlessly.

She could feel his breath blowing at her earlobes and neck region.

That made her stiffen her whole body as if a huge boulder was on her chest, leaving her out of breath.

“I’m only seeing you because I want to let you understand what a joke it was when you said you would not regret it.” He was staring right at her.

At that moment, it was as if she had fallen into a lake of icy cold water.

‘Indeed, what a joke!

Grace could not remember how she left Jason’s place.

From the very beginning, he had not planned on giving in to her request. As for her, she did not have any right to request anything from him.

That meeting was just her seeking shame.

The next day at work, Grace could not bring herself to focus.

Her mother’s relatives called to inform that her maternal grandmother’s condition had worsened. The old lady had awakened, but she was not of sound mind and kept requesting to see her sons. There were also some things that she could not remember well.

The doctor informed that Grace’s grandmother was suffering from Alzheimer’s disease, and it was progressing very fast.

Usually, it took a person years to reach such a severe stage,

but she had progressed so rapidly and might continue to worsen.

Grace’s heart felt heavy.

It was as if there were only bad situations in her life, and it felt like things would turn out worse.

“Grace, the doctor also said to let your grandmother see your uncles as soon as possible to help with her condition. How much longer do you want to lock them up?!” Her relatives were just short of accusing her of being heartless.

Grace bitterly smiled. The situation now was not under her control!

At the end of the day, Grace dragged her exhausted self out and was prepared to head home when Chase blocked her path. “Grace, I’ll… I’ll send you home. I have a car. It’s no trouble to drive you back.”

Chase blushed slightly when he said that.

Grace looked at the man in front of her, wondering how she should handle the situation to avoid hurting such an honest man. She knew that Chase had some feelings for her. She needed to reject him.

She was not suitable for this man. If she accepted his kind gesture, that may do more harm to him.

“It’s okay, I don’t live far from here. It’s just a short walk,” Grace replied to him.

“But you don’t look too good right now,” he anxiously said.

“I’m fine. Really,” Grace said before walking past him and headed out of the Sanitation Service Center.

She had not gotten much sleep the night before. In addition to her grandmother’s issue, her problems were only getting worse. Right now, Grace felt as if she was floating on air.
