Chapter 409

“Because of me, the jewel series named ‘Forever and Always’ could not launch smoothly.
The market trend was unpredictable. After being delayed for nearly a month, Norah Jewel had already
beaten us to the punch and successfully launched their product.” Jace said, “If it went according to our
original plan for the project, you should know very well that regardless of design or innovation, our
product doesn’t have any competitive advantage. If we were to carry on with it, I’m afraid the results
would not be too good as well.” Simon’s expression darkened. “Didn’t you look for Mister Wayne to
collaborate with him? The Master of Jade refused to collaborate with you, but what about Mister
Wayne? Did he also refuse?” “Mister Wayne has yet to give me a clear answer.” Simon replied,
“Nonsense. You’ve hurt his granddaughter to such an extent. If I were Wayne, and you wanted me to
collaborate with you, dream on! Wayne has always been protective of his family, and he also loves his
precious granddaughter very much, which makes this matter even more impossible.” As Jace spoke,
Grandpa Yuriel could not help but get emotional. He smiled miserably and said, “I have no idea what
fate this is. Wayne’s eldest granddaughter was actually my grandson’s wife. Unfortunately, she isn’t
anymore now.” Grandpa Yuriel could not help but lift his head and reprimand Jace, “It’s all your fault,
isn’t it? It’s been so long. Did you actually progress a little bit with Sage or not?” Jace pursed his lips
and did not say anything. However, once he thought of Sage saying ‘I can’t love anymore’, he felt
dejected. “Alright, enough. Don’t force him anymore.” Grandma Yuriel came in carrying the plum she
had washed. She then took a hand fan and fanned her husband. “I have long told you that nothing
good ever comes out of doing something by force. A broken relationship can’t be mended entirely as
well. Have you learned your lesson from Freya and Lucas’ matter? Grandpa Yuriel’s eyes immediately
widened. “Don’t mention Spencer to me! I get infuriated whenever he is mentioned! He ruined my
daughter’s life. If it weren’t for Jace’s sake, I would have long-” “Alright, enough. Jace is right here. Cut
it out.” Grandpa Yuriel looked at Jace’s pale face, and she could not bear it. She put the fruit bowl in
Jace’s hands.





“Your mother is waiting for you in the room. I think she has something to tell you. Her legs have been
unwell recently, but she’s unwilling to go to the hospital. If you have the time, accompany her to the
hospital to get it checked out.”

Jace nodded and agreed.

When he carried the fruit bowl into the room, Freya was massaging her legs, and she looked like she
was in great pain. Jace felt his chest tighten. He instantly retracted his hand that would knock on the
door and walked up to her quickly. “Are your legs hurting again?” He put the fruit bowl on the table and
then got down on one knee to massage his mother’s

legs.

Freya controlled her expression a little and said calmly, “It’s fine. Perhaps it’s because it’s always
cloudy nowadays, and it’s more humid. I’ll be fine after a few days.”

“You always say that every time. I haven’t been in Nadeem City in the past few days, but I checked the
weather report. It’s been very sunny the past few days. It has not been cloudy at all like you said.”

Jace lifted his head and glanced at Freya. Both the mother and son’s eyes, who were extremely alike,
met.

Freya’s expression was slightly unnatural, and she looked away. Jace continued massaging her legs,
and he spoke in a tone that did not allow her to object. “I’ll accompany you to the hospital in the city to
have it checked out tomorrow. It’s time for you to go for a follow-up checkup.” Freya did not say
anything for a long time. Her silence meant that she had agreed. She looked at her son, who kneeled in
front of her and silently massaged her legs, with downcast eyes. That was a scene that had not
happened for a long time.



Freya suddenly remembered something, and a faint smile appeared on her face.

“For the past three years, Sage has been helping me massage my legs. The strength of her hands was
just right, so her massages made me feel extremely comfortable.”

Jace was speechless.

After his skill was complained about, Jace stopped his fingers and said plainly, “Then, I’m afraid you
won’t have the chance to experience it anymore in the future. My hands are neither weak nor strong.
Just slowly get used to it then.” Freya blinked a little. Why did she hear a tinge of jealousy in his tone?
Her silly son could not be jealous of Sage, right?
