章 157: Scrubbing Dishes

"Jace," Jace corrected. "Is it that difficult to call my name?"

"N… No, sir."

"There you go again," Jace complained. 

"I'm sorry sir, but it seems so …"

"Inappropriate," Jace completed roughly.

"Yes," Grace nodded slowly. That was exactly what she wanted to say.

Calling him Jace sounded so intimate that she couldn't dare say it, especially to his hearing.

'What's inappropriate about it?' Jace wondered angrily. Is it not the same as her calling Caden or Charles? She even has several pet names for Charles. Why did his own name become a taboo for her to call?

Seeing her struggling so much within herself, Jace decided to let it go for now. After all she had just fed him and livened up his mood. 

Besides, she was such good company and very comfortable to be around, especially after a strenuous day like today.
