In the Lap of Luxury Chapter 452 How Did You Get Hurt
Grace stood before him, sizing him up from head to toe. She couldn't help but feel upset when she saw him standing there, unharmed. She pursed her lips and asked, "Where have you been these past few days? I couldn't contact you at all and thought that you—" Before she could finish, Xander reached out and pulled her into his embrace. Grace immediately felt much calmer as she settled into his familiar embrace. She quietly leaned against him, forcing back the words she had been about to say.Xander whispered, his warm breath tickling her ear as he gently said, "Sorry for making you worry, Gracie." There had been some urgent issues at Fulton Group's headquarters. He had been dealing with them in Frenda, and he couldn't contact her. He had rushed back as soon as he had seen her missed calls and messages. After his flight had landed, he had come straight to Amirate Corporation, just so he could see her sooner. Grace pouted, obviously unhappy. "Why couldn't I get through to you
In the Lap of Luxury Chapter 453 Someone Special
As soon as she finished speaking, Xander pulled her into his embrace, whispering in her ear, "Okay." Their bodies pressed close together, and Grace could distinctly feel the thudding of her heart against her chest. She struggled to escape from his embrace. "Where's the first aid kit? I'll tend to your wounds." "There's no need for that. The doctor has already taken care of it." "It's okay. It seems like your wound has reopened," Grace said, then turned around and began looking for the first aid kit. Watching her bustle around, Xander smiled and stood up, walking toward another cabinet. "The first aid kit is here." Slightly embarrassed, Grace hurriedly took the kit from him. "Sit down. I'll change your dressing." Xander obediently did as told. His eyes were fixed on her as they sat on the couch. Grace opened the first aid kit, took out the tools, and carefully tended to his wound. Her actions were gentle, each one done with the utmost care until she removed the origi
In the Lap of Luxury Chapter 454 His Private World
Xander then said to Peter, "There's no need to hide my schedule from her. Whatever she asks, just tell her the truth." Shock flashed through Peter's eyes when he heard Xander's instructions. Xander had many connections and rivals from his years in the business industry. For safety reasons, his itinerary had always been kept confidential. Peter had worked for Xander for many years, always in the shadows. He had never appeared in public. But today, Xander had revealed his existence to this woman without any reservations. Evidently, Xander trusted Grace completely. "Understood, Mr. Fulton," Peter responded, never doubting Xander's decision. If Xander trusted Grace, he would trust her completely as well."Alright, you can go now." "Yes, Mr. Fulton." Once Peter left, Xander took Grace's hand. "Gracie, I have some special matters to deal with for a while." Grace had already sensed something was amiss but didn't ask further. She just nodded, looking up at him. "I understand
In the Lap of Luxury Chapter 455 Spend More Time With Her
"What are you looking at?" Xander's sudden voice interrupted Grace's thoughts, but her gaze remained fixed on an ornament placed not too far away. She pointed to the ornament and asked, "Xander, why do you also have one of these ceramic rocking horses?" Xander followed her gaze and smiled. "Oh, do you have one too?" Grace nodded and said, "Yours is exactly like mine, but unfortunately, mine broke a long time ago." She looked away. Her tone was tinged with sadness. There was a flicker in Xander's eyes, but he concealed it well. "It seems like a pity." He handed her a set of brand-new pajamas and a towel. "You should rest early." Grace accepted them and said, "I know. You should rest early too. Good night!" Xander didn't linger any longer and left the bedroom. Grace couldn't help but smile as she looked at the pajamas and towel in her hands.…Meanwhile, Benjamin returned to Hawkins Manor after a business gathering late at night, reeking of alcohol. He sat in the back
In the Lap of Luxury Chapter 456 Knowing Her Well
"I understand, grandma, don't worry." Elizabeth sighed. "Now only you and I are left in this house. How can I not worry about you?"Then, she asked, "By the way, how is Grace doing?" At the mention of Grace, Benjamin simply said, "Grandma, don't worry. She's doing well." Hearing this, Elizabeth nodded understandably. "Yes, Grace is a good girl. It's just a pity you two weren't destined for each other. If only ... well, let bygones be bygones. It's late. You should rest early too." "Yes, Grandma, you should go back to sleep." After leaving Elizabeth's room, Benjamin went straight back to his bedroom. Over the past three years, he had rarely been at home, with Grace taking care of everything. Now, after their divorce, he had been coming home more frequently. But sometimes he found himself missing the times when Grace still lived there.Benjamin pushed the door open and found no signs of Grace. Any traces of her had been gradually erased over time. He stood before the wi
In the Lap of Luxury Chapter 457 It's Time to Start Dating
Grace's heart felt whole as she held the warm milk and looked at Xander. "Xander, I didn't expect you to be so talented. When did you start learning to cook?" She was surprised that, despite knowing him for so many years, she was unaware of the hidden skills he possessed. Xander replied calmly, "I learned it long ago. It just happened to come in handy today." The most important thing was that she had finally gotten the chance to taste his cooking. Xander looked down with a smile. "If you like it, I can cook for you more often." Grace agreed without hesitation, "Yes, please! That would be wonderful."… After breakfast, Xander dropped Grace off at Amirate Corporation.After getting out of the car, she waved to Xander and watched him leave before entering the office. To her surprise, as soon as she entered, Caleb caught her. "Gracie!" Caleb approached her quickly, his eyes scanning her, making Grace feel puzzled. She asked, "What are you looking for?" "Be honest. Why
In the Lap of Luxury Chapter 458 Her Only Comfort
"Gracie, you must have been busy with work recently," Elizabeth said. Grace smiled softly and said, "It's alright. The company is on the right track now." "Good. That's good," Elizabeth said. But her words were followed by a few coughs, which made Grace frown slightly. "Grandma, are you feeling unwell?" "It's nothing, just the usual." Grace couldn't help but worry. During her three years with the Hawkins family, Elizabeth had always been kind to her and a source of comfort for her. "Have you seen a doctor?" "Yes, I have. Don't worry about me. I called because I haven't seen you for a while and wanted to talk to you." "It's okay. I'll come to see you after work."Elizabeth was delighted by that. "Really? That would be wonderful! The house has been quite empty lately. If you could come to see me, nothing could make me happier." "Grandma, don't say that. You've always been like family to me." Hearing this, Elizabeth's eyes welled up with tears. "You're always so thoug
In the Lap of Luxury Chapter 459 Mutual Interest
The assistant quickly handed over the information to Samuel. "I found it, Mr. Walker. The Eastwood property was bought by the newly established Landon Group." "Huh? They are a new company and had such audacity to snap up such an important piece of land?" Samuel was surprised and asked, "Did you find out anything else?" "Mr. Walker, Landon Group isn't as simple as it seems. It appears that this company has connections with the former Quine Group and Hawkins family." "The Hawkins family? Benjamin Hawkins?" "Exactly!" "It seems I was right. Even Benjamin thinks this land is valuable. Grace really is blind for not taking on this project." "Indeed, Mr. Walker! Ms. Lewis seems to have missed the mark this time. Although Landon Group has acquired the land, it's too much for them to handle alone." Samuel laughed and said, "This is the perfect opportunity. Contact the owner of Landon Group and arrange a meeting." "Mr. Walker, there's no time to waste. I've already contacted Ms
