When times were good back then, she’d had a hearty appetite and thicker body. She had to workout and watch what she ate. She actually preferred being curvier.
She did not have to worry about this anymore. She was thin now, and she would no longer worry over whether she would look nice in certain clothes or not. What she would consider now was the price and practicality of the clothes as well as whether or not they were durable.
It was funny, she thought, how her perspective had changed.
When you want something, you would desperately put in the effort to get it. When you finally get it, you then realize that the things you desperately wanted before were no longer the things the currently want.
Maybe that was life. And we were all just destined to be disappointed.
Grace laughed self-deprecatingly. Speaking of this, she really could not quite understand just why Jason would still call her ‘sis’ every time he opened his mouth. It was like he still cared for her and missed the period of time they were together.
Sometimes, his actions seemed as if he liked her a lot, but she could not resist thinking, ‘was this also him acting?’
Grace shook her head and stopped thinking about these things. To her now, she could only take it one step at a time anyway.
After a rushed wash, she walked out of the bathroom only to notice that he was already sitting on the bed on the floor. Just like before, he waited for her to say goodnight before going to sleep.
She walked over and said awkwardly, “Goodnight.” After saying this, she hastily got in bed and burrowed in the covers.
At this moment, she only wanted to fall asleep quickly so that she could get this night over with as soon as possible.
However, before she closed her eyes, he leaned over and got closer to her to say, “Sis, it seems that you haven’t called me once this whole night. I want to hear you call me.”
Her throat tightened. At this moment, if she were to turn over with her back facing him, that act would be too deliberate as well.
However, if she faced him…
“What is it? Didn’t you agree earlier that tonight will be just like the past?” he asked.
Grace bit her lower lip. Back then, he was the only one acting. Now, he wanted it to become a two-man show?
“Jason, goodnight.” She finally spoke this name.
