Chapter 442

Grace considered it reasonable, nodding and saying, "Okay." She then devoured her breakfast while Jason watched with a smile. He found her expression—as she ate her shaobing, youtiao, and douhua—exceedingly cute.

Her ponytail, neat forehead, elegant features, shimmering eyes, small button nose, and pinkish lips… everything was perfect to him. He never imagined falling in love with such a woman, yet it felt completely natural.

As Grace ate, she glanced up, her almond eyes meeting Jason's deep gaze. For a moment, she felt as if her brain had been emptied by his intense stare.

"Wh…What's the matter?" she mumbled.

"Nothing. I just find you very pretty."

Grace was dumbfounded. He'd seen countless beautiful women, yet he said this to her? She'd neglected her skincare for years; she knew her looks were, at best, average. Pretty was a far cry.

However, his gaze and expression were sincere. Perhaps, she thought, beauty truly is in the eye of the beholder. "You should eat before your food gets cold," she urged. "It won't taste good."

He smiled. "Okay," he said, lowering his head to eat his shaobing, youtiao, and douhua.

Grace watched him eat. It was a simple meal; the shaobing and youtiao still in their paper bag. Even eating, his hands were elegantly refined. It was like watching a commercial.

This was Jason, a man who could command Emerald City. Who would have guessed he'd be eating breakfast at a roadside stall? And even more peculiar—she was dating him. It was surreal.

If they had children someday, she mused, it would be beautiful. Her feelings for him seemed to be growing, unknowingly… Was she falling in love with him? The thought lingered.

After breakfast, Jason drove Grace to her old apartment. Opening the door stirred up a cloud of dust. She realized it had been two or three months since her last visit.

Grace began tidying. She'd moved the more important items to the Reed Residence; what remained were out-of-season clothes, shoes, bedding, and some kitchenware. She didn't own much, so she packed quickly.

"What are you planning to do with these things?" Jason asked.
