She hesitated and said, “I’m actually quite happy at the small
restaurant, and…” She paused and said very seriously, “I want
to work on my own, Jay. If I were to work at your company,
I won’t have to do anything if everyone knows I’m your girlfriend. I’ll just sit there and get paid every month.”
“Isn’t that great?” he asked.
“I want to see how far I can go on my own. I don’t expect to spend my whole life delivering food. I’m also looking at
some. research materials in private, hoping it’ll help me in my future
career,” said Grace.
She had begun planning for her future career.
Jason raised his eyebrows slightly as he heard this. Then, he raised his hand and stroked her swollen cheek.

to drop by.
She replied somewhat awkwardly, “Uh… I forgot…” After all, it all happened so suddenly. She was in a confrontation
with her father and stepmother. At that moment, she forgot to call him.
His eyes flickered slightly. ‘Does this mean that in her heart, I’m still not the first person she wants to rely on when
she’s in
trouble?’
“You must remember to ask me for help if you get into any trouble in the future. Don’t you forget it again!” said
Jason.
“Oh, got it!” she replied, feeling a surge of warmth in her heart. “By the way, you didn’t need to slap my

“Forget it. There’s no need for that. I think they dare not bother me anymore after today,” said Grace, yawning.
She was exhausted after today’s commotion. She was already sleepy when it was only eight o ‘clock in the evening.
“You should turn in early,” said Jason.
“Yes.” Grace nodded and lied on the bed, falling asleep in the blink of an eye.
Jason sat on the bedside, staring deeply at the sleeping face
of the person before him. After a moment, he stood up, went
downstairs, and made a call. “Where are you? I want to see
