Chapter 423

Following the conversation, she felt even more embarrassed. Jason responded, "It's her."

"Oh. What's going on between you two, Jay? Are you lovers?" Foreigners were known for their directness. A domestic employee wouldn't have dared ask such a question so directly.

Grace then heard Jason say in English, "She's the person I love most."

Her heart clenched, feeling as if it had stopped. After the video conference ended, Jason approached her. "What's wrong? Why are you blushing?"

"No… nothing," Grace quickly replied.

"Did you make these?" Jason was surprised.

"Yes, but the chef helped me," Grace added.
