My gorgeous wife is an ex-convict (Grace)

Chapter 16

Chapter 16 

Grace’s body froze. 

Seeing Sean and Lily, and reliving those hours in the prison… the pain, the terror. Not knowing if she’d live or die. 

Her whole body shuddered. 

And that stupid ring…Sean had taken her to that jeweler and she’d tried it on. He’d been ready to buy it and she’d laughed and said it was too extravagant. She’d told him to save his money. Her love didn’t cost anything. 

“Grace… are you going home?” a man’s quiet voice asked. 

Grace lifted her head and saw a man about thirty years old smiling shyly at her. He had short hair and wore the uniform of 

the Fleet. 

She recalled that this was Chase, from the Sanitation Service 

Center’s Fleet. 

“Yes,” Grace replied. 

“I’m free. Let me take you home,” Chase said. 

His light eyes crinkled at the corners. He looked kind. A little bashful even. 

Grace remembered Claire telling her that Chase was interested in her. That was sweet, but she had no intention of getting into a relationship. 

“You don’t have to.” Grace turned him down. 

“It’s all right. I have a car. It’s no trouble to give you a ride home,” Chase said as he made a second attempt. 

“Huh! Your car is too cheap. This is Grace Cummins-she only wants to sit in a luxury car. If you could buy her a six-carat diamond ring, maybe then she’d let you drive her around,” Farah said. 

Grace sighed. 

She was not interested in Chase, but she had wanted to let him down gently.
