Chapter 100

“Will you be going?” Jason asked.

Grace nodded. “But you…” She hesitated for a moment. “Do you want to go with me?”

He was quiet for a moment then said, “I have to work overtime the night before. The boss said that I will get triple the rate if I do. How about you give me the address? I will go find you the

next day.”

“All right,” Grace said.

However, she then bit her lips and said hesitantly, “But when you show up with me over there, some of my relatives might give you a hard time. When that happens, don’t mind them.””

Jay gave her a faint smile. “Don’t worry, I won’t pay any

get out of the city for the holiday.
