Chapter 212
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 ConTEent bel0ngs to Nôv(e)lD/rama(.)Org .
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.
Ever since she knew that he was Jason till now, only a month had passed, but she felt as if a it was a
long time—so long, it was like a whole lifetime.
He smiled gently, then lowered his head slightly, getting even closer to her.
She understood what he meant. In the past, before they slept, she also liked to caress his hair. She
always said that the quality of his hair was great and that she envied him for his hair.
Before she realized it, patting his head before sleeping had become a habit.
This pose of his now was probably because he wanted her to pat his head and run her hands through
his hair.
Before, she’d thought this was his wolf, demanding his measure of attention too. “Your wolf is getting
jealous again?” she asked.
He laughed. “Always.”
She wouldn’t begrudge the beast.
Grace gently laid her hand on Jason’s head. Her finger dug into his hair a little, caressing his head just
like before.
However, in her heart, it was a completely different feeling.
The top of his head rubbed against her palm, and he mumbled, “As expected, being here with you still
gives me peace, Sis.”
Grace felt like he was provoking her.
Peace?
She could not feel any peace because of his presence here.
Finally, Jason returned to his covers and reached for the lights.
“Don’t turn it off!” Grace said. When she met his probing gaze, she said a little uneasily, “If you turn it
off, I’m afraid I… won’t be able to sleep.”
He stared thoughtfully for a moment, then smiled. “Alright then. I’ll leave the lights on.”
She heaved a sigh of relief, laid down, and closed her eyes. After an unknown amount of time passed,
his voice sounded once again. “Sis, have you ever hated someone?”
