Chapter 1204: Does This Girl Ever Get Jealous?
Those who stay close to ink will be stained black.
And who’s the "black" one here?
Is Grayson Quinn itching to be transferred to Southeast Asia, daring to badmouth Mason?
"Control her!" Grayson irritably raked his fingers through his hair. No matter how many times he bickered with Aurelia Shaw, he could never win. This girl’s hand-to-hand skills were getting better by the day, her mind worked fast, and if they really threw down now, he might not even be able to beat her. "If you don’t rein her in, she’ll dare yank hair right off the King of Heaven’s head next."
"Stop fooling around." Mason Nightshade pinched Aurelia’s cheek, the corners of his lips quirking up. "Why are you calling him big brother? He can only call you sister‑in‑law. I don’t mind ’getting gay’ with you, but you can’t mess up who’s on top and who’s on bottom, got it? Hm?"
Grayson Quinn: "..."
This couple is seriously disgusting.
Absolutely deranged!
"Head back!" Mason ordered the soldiers, then turned with Aurelia in his arms and headed back inside. As he walked, he said, "Sophie Nye’s asthma’s been acting up lately. Grandpa had the soldiers drop the dog off here to stay for a few days; they’ll pick him up in a few days."
...
Grayson couldn’t stand watching this couple show off their love any longer; his stomach was full even though he hadn’t had dinner yet. If he didn’t have things to do, he wouldn’t have wanted to stay here at all.
At the dinner table, Grayson casually brought up, "Mason, the Easton Family’s daughter seems to be into you. Even though we already wrapped up negotiations with the Easton Family, that old fox Amir Easton still sent his daughter over to our company to take part in the cooperation plan. Whether they’re sincerely cooperating, let’s leave that aside for now, but her interest in you is very real—her eyes were practically glued to you in the meeting. How about you sacrifice your looks a bit and squeeze some more benefits out of them for our company? Lynn Easton isn’t hard on the eyes..."
Mason silently gave Grayson a look. Grayson hurriedly averted his gaze, his heartbeat thudding like a drum. Shit, Mason, your look is way too terrifying!
"There was a woman in the meeting? I didn’t notice." Mason frowned, thinking it over, and realized he couldn’t recall anyone named Lynn Easton at all. It seemed Amir Easton had indeed introduced someone to him, but he’d been looking down at the documents at the time and hadn’t paid attention.
That was his daughter? Looks like it’s time to have Easton Corporation send someone else over.
He turned his head and glanced at the woman beside him, worried she’d get jealous, but Aurelia had just picked up a piece of rib and stuffed it into her mouth, her cheeks puffed out adorably. The look in Mason’s eyes softened with indulgence.
Aurelia slanted a look at Grayson, her expression unreadable, and what she said came out muffled, "Why does that sound a little familiar to me? Young Master Quinn, you didn’t plagiarize my ’chasing a man’ plan, did you?"
Grayson froze, then suddenly had a flash of insight! Back when Aurelia married into the Nightshade Family, hadn’t she basically "married in with capital"? Putting it that way, it really was quite similar.
This girl...
Grayson glanced at Aurelia’s face again.
She had her head completely buried in her food, paying no attention to outside matters, including what he’d just said about someone having a crush on Mason. It was like none of it even registered with her.
Was she just that carefree, or did she truly not care about this stuff?
Since when is this girl carefree? Grayson pondered for a moment, then smiled.
...
After dinner, Aurelia was in the yard on the swing. Meatball was obediently sprawled on her lap, greedily munching on the greens in her hand. The light in the second‑floor study was on; Mason was upstairs discussing matters in the Capital City with Grayson.
What Grayson said at the table earlier was deliberately said for her to hear—not to provoke her into getting jealous. He probably saw her noticing Lynn Easton, so he intentionally found a chance to make Mason explain it to her himself. Mason would explain, but with this kind of thing, women almost never ask it outright themselves. If it gets bottled up in their hearts, sooner or later it’ll cause some misunderstanding.
Grayson never does childish things; he’s a man of deep feelings and loyalty. Back then, when she hurt Mason, he was willing to risk his life to kill her.
Why?
