My gorgeous wife is an ex-convict (Grace) novel Chapter 416

Chapter 416 

Brian’s fingers tightened slightly as he held the coffee cup. “What if I do regret it?” He had played down Grace’s influence on him back then. 

He thought Grace only looked like the one he was looking for. 

However, he gradually realized that there was more to it than that. When he saw someone trying to hurt her and hit her, he would feel his heart clench. Almost unconsciously, he would 

rush to her rescue. 

It was as if the slightest injury to her was enough to make his heart ache. Whenever she was about to leave, he was 

reluctant to part with her as if hoping that her eyes could stay on him for a while longer. 

Even just for a little while! 

When had he ever cared so much for a woman? Besides the little girl who had saved his life, there was only her. 

He even wondered if he should not have given her up so 

easily to Jason. If she had stayed with him, would it have made him miss the girl a little less and reduce the agony of his unrequited desire? 

Jason’s eyes sank as he stared at Brian somewhat coldly. 

“Is that so?” Brian met his eyes. “I would like to try and see for 

myself.” 

The two men looked at each other. Even Kyla Corbyn, who was at the cashier desk, could feel the tension in the air. 

From where she was standing, it was hard to hear what the two were talking about, but judging from their faces, it was not a pleasant conversation. 

Suddenly, Jason chuckled and smiled. It was too pretty to look. at, but there was sarcasm in his bright and amorous eyes. “I thought you were only interested in the owner of the silver bracelet. Are you going to tell me that you have a thing for Grace? Since when did Master Hart become so promiscuous?” 

Brian’s eyes turned cold as he stared at Jason, his face taking on a ghastly expression. 

Jason only smiled casually. “Tell me, if you manage to find the owner of the silver bracelet, what are you going to do with Grace? She has been a substitute for you all along. To me, 

she’s different.” 

“What… is she to you?” Brian asked in a hoarse voice. 

“She means the world to me,” Jason said it with great 

affirmation, but there was some vague anger in his eyes. 

“Brian, if you want to compete for Grace, you’ll be going 

against me. Are you going to go against me?” 

A flash of shock crossed Brian’s face. He knew Jason cared 

about Grace, but it never occurred to him that he would care 

so much.
