My gorgeous wife is an ex-convict (Grace) novel Chapter 229

Chapter 229 

“Did I frighten you?” he asked. 

She hesitated. “I know you’re just treating me like a game. You’re interested in me now because you think it’s fun. Once 

your interest wanes, then I’m worthless. If I offend you by 

accident, things might be as worse as what it was like in 

prison.”” 

She did not want any more of those dark and miserable days! 

“Aren’t you afraid that you’ll offend me now by saying that?” 

he asked. 

Her body suddenly stiffened. Yes, of course, she was afraid, but she chose to say it anyway. 

Her expression said it all. 

There was a terrible silence all around. 

Grace lowered her head, and all she could hear was her breathing and heartbeat. Jason did not say anything, but she could feel that his eyes were on her. 

No one knew how much time had passed. Suddenly, she heard 

his voice. “If I say I’m not treating you as a game, will you want 

to stay with me?” 

She raised her head suddenly and looked at him in 

astonishment as if she had not expected him to say that. 

“Will you?” His eyes were still fixed on her. 

She gave a bitter smile. “What am I supposed to do by your 

side? Continue to be your sis? Or be your playmate? Either way, I’m afraid I’m not up to the task.” 

His thin lips drew a straight line, and his eyes grew cold. The 

word ‘wife’ was stuck in his throat. 

If she asked, he could marry her. However, had Jason ever 

needed to ask a woman to be his wife?! 

He suddenly gave her a faint smile and bent down slowly. He brushed her cheek gently. “Since Sis has already said so, let’s go ahead and see who is more patient. Will I be the first to give up on keeping Sis with me, or will Sis be the first to beg to stay with me?” 

Grace became slightly short of breath, and her body shook as 

he got closer. 

He was always so unpredictable. He could look like he was angry at one second and then be like the calm after a storm 

the next second. 

Having said that, Jason walked over to the table, pulled up a chair, and sat down. 

Grace was relieved and felt another cold sweat break out on 

her back and palms.
