My gorgeous wife is an ex-convict (Grace) novel Chapter 853

Chapter 853 

Grace and Chase Harper were having lunch in a restaurant near the hospital. 

When she came to the hospital today to visit Baldwin who was still in a coma, 

she bumped into Chase Harper again. 

Chase Harper stayed with her while she 

gathered all kinds of materials. He even 

did some errands for her. 

Grace could somewhat see through him 

too. It seemed that Chase Harper still 

liked her. However, he did not say it out loud, so she just stayed quiet about it 

and tried her best to keep her distance so as to avoid giving him the wrong idea. 

She was at the hospital until nearly one 

o’clock in the afternoon. Grace was so 

busy that she even forgot about lunch. 

She had not eaten and neither had 

Chase Harper. 

“You’ve helped me a lot today. Why don’t 

I treat you to lunch?” said Grace. 

Chase Harper smiled shyly. “I’m a man. I 

should be the one to treat you.” 

“It has nothing to do with whether 

you’re a man. If I ever help you out with something, then it’s never too late to 

treat me,” she said. 

Chase Harper’s eyes lit up as he nodded 

his head. 

The restaurant near the hospital served common dishes. Grace ordered two set 

meals for herself and Chase Harper. 

The two of them were eating when 

Chase Harper’s phone rang. Chase Harper answered his phone. “Hmm… Yes… Mom, don’t worry about me. Well… I won’t go. I have someone I like. I’m not going, so don’t ask your girlfriends to help me find…” 

Grace’s hand stopped mid-air as she held the chopsticks. Even if she did not 

hear what Chase Harper’s mother was 

saying on the other end of the line, 

judging from what Chase Harper was saying, it sounded like she was trying to 

help her son find a girlfriend. 

However… Chase Harper said he had 

someone he liked. 

‘Could he be talking about… me?’ Grace’s 

heart somehow felt heavier and so did 

the chopsticks in her hands. 

If possible, she hoped she was not the person Chase Harper liked. 

She was so emotionally scarred that 

she could not afford another person’s 

affection.

After ending the phone call, Chase 

Harper suddenly looked at Grace with 

some embarrassment as if he had 

noticed something. He happened to meet her eyes. 

“Well… I…” He seemed to want to say 

something but did not know how to. He 

was so embarrassed that he was at a 

loss. He unconsciously wiped his hand 

to the side but accidentally knocked 

over the half-drunk bowl of soup. It 

immediately spilled on him. 

Chase Harper’s face turned red instantly. 

He hurriedly tried to clean up after the 

mess, but he only made it worse.
