My Gorgeous Wife is an Ex-Convict!

Jason stared at Grace’s sorry figure.

She was just a target in the game, but why… why did he feel uncomfortable when he saw her being treated like this?

It was because… even if she was a target in their twisted games, he could not allow others to touch her. Even if he wanted to

Sean shrugged, but his gaze remained on Grace.
