My Gorgeous Wife is an Ex-Convict!

Chapter 82

Jason carefully placed Grace in the chair and propped a storage box beneath the kitchen table so she could elevate

her foot.

“You need to eat,” he said. Then he busied himself in the

kitchen reheating the food she’d prepared earlier.

“You know,” Lina said. “I wasn’t too keen on this whole

changes around the apartment. “I definitely wasn’t buying all that sister/brother stuff.” She laughed again.

Jason arched a brow at her.

“But now,” Lina went on, “It’s clear you’re good for my friend. Thank you for helping her.”

Jason turned back to plating up food for Grace. “There is no reason to thank me. Grace would do the same for me.”

As he said it, he realized that was true. She’d be there for him. No questions asked. No stipulations or expectations of something in return. And she wouldn’t leave his side.

Could he say that of anyone else in his life? Anyone who wasn’t on his payroll, that is. Or who wasn’t out to gain something from him?

Lina yawned.

“You should go home and rest,” Grace said. “This has been… a stressful day. I’m sorry you got dragged into this drama.”

Lina gave Grace a hug. “The other people brought the drama when they tried to bully you.”
