My Gorgeous Wife is an Ex-Convict

Chapter 81

“You need to eat more, Sister.”

Grace made a strangled sound.

“I’m serious,” Jason said.

She was too light in his arms. And while most men would’ve probably found that satisfying, for him, it just reinforced her

frailty.

How easily she could be hurt or taken from him.

That fall… it could’ve killed her.

The night he met her… those men could have killed her.

That asshole at his country club could have drowned her.

The electric bike could’ve run her down.

And… he shuddered… just how many times did she face death while in prison?!?

Her face pressed against him and she nestled closer as if seeking his warmth.

“I can’t remember the last time someone carried me. In my memory, when I was a child, Mom was the only one who ever did this for me.” Her voice was wistful. “My memories of those times are too vague.”

He made a soothing sound.

“Jay, you’re so nice,” she murmured.

She could all but feel him smiling. When she glanced up, his mouth remained in a straight line, but his eyes glowed mischievously. “Are you going to say that I’m a nice person again, sister?” he asked.

“Yes. I want to say that you’re a good brother. I’m very lucky to have a brother like you,” she replied.
