The Yale Villa was not close to the Andrew family estate. Given the trip and the time spent socializing at the banquet, they returned late at night. The children and the servants were all asleep. Thus, the whole building was exceptionally quiet. Only the sound of insects chirping could be heard. Grace followed behind Zaden as they walked into the house. The servants lived downstairs, including Grace. Zaden and his two children's rooms were upstairs with a few other guest rooms. When she reached the staircase, Grace paused for a moment. She planned to return to the room once Zaden climbed up the stairs. However, she didn't expect for Zaden to stop as well. "Mr. Andrew, is there anything else?" Grace asked in confusion. Zaden glanced at the servant's quarters and suddenly asked in a very flippant way, "Is it comfortable to sleep in the servant's rooms?" "What?" Grace was stunned. Why was he asking this? No matter how uncomfortable it
Although Grace didn't want to get into a relationship with Zaden, she was quite satisfied with her current job. Just because she worked under him, it did not entitle him to her personal affairs or time. For adults, they would not need to hear the word 'no' to know that it was a rejection. Grace's reply, in reality, had already expressed her refusal. With his intelligence, it was impossible for Zaden not to catch on to her signal. Unless he didn't want to accept it. Zaden looked at Grace in disbelief as Grace maintained the same expression when faced with his confession of love. He would never have imagined that Grace would reject him after he proposed for them to date. After all, in Zaden's opinion, Grace also liked him. "Grace, are you playing hard to get with me?" Zaden frowned and asked in an incomparably serious tone. Grace was so angry that she couldn't help but laugh. It was precisely because she sensed the seriousness in Zaden's qu
"Miss Andie, I have no clue why such postings would appear in the school forum. Since you called to ask me about it, I explained myself to you. I made it clear that these postings are not the truths, " Grace said matter-of-factly. "If the school thinks that I have damaged its reputation and wants to punish me, please at least investigate the truth. I did nothing wrong, and I do not mind any investigation on me." Upon hearing Grace's words, Andie's opinion was already starting to turn. "All right, I'll explain it to the school. As for what will happen next, let's talk about it later!" After that, Andie hung up before Grace could reply. Looking at the phone, Grace shook her head helplessly. Grace didn't mind her teacher's attitude. However, she was curious as to who would slander her on the school forum, saying that she was a mistress. After thinking about it for a long time, Grace still couldn't come up with a solution. She usually kept a low profile
With that, Grace's gratitude for Zaden disappeared into thin air. After all, he was the cause of the troubles she was facing, so it was natural for him to solve it. Grace glared at Zaden, thinking about the trouble she faced from his good looks. "Wait. I have already solved it for you. It's fine if you don't thank me, but why are you glaring at me?" Zaden felt irritated as he felt unappreciated for his efforts. Was her heart made steel? Did she not feel touched at all? "Thank you?" Grace said angrily, "Why don't you think about it? Why would Moira do this to me?" "It's obvious that she's a lunatic. How would I know why?" said Zaden. Grace couldn't restrain herself any longer and rolled her eyes. "It's all because of you!" Grace said. This time, even though Zaden had turned the tables, he did not feel guilty at all. Whom he liked was his own business. Why should he feel guilty because of Moira? However, if Moira continued to hurt Gra
Looking at Zaden's scrunched-up face, Grace wanted to laugh out loud in satisfaction. "All right," Zaden said with a face full of humiliation. While they were talking, Douglas and Dulcie were busy entertaining their friends as the hosts. "Look! They're my parents!" There was pride in Dulcie's voice. She held her head high and said, "Aren't they super good-looking?" Children were competitive by nature. Having grown up with the lack of motherly love, Dulcie was more sensitive and eager for attention than other children. Every child would think that their parents were the most handsome couple in the world. Admittedly, Dulcie's 'parents' were in a different league. "Yes!" The other children all supported her and praised her. "Your mother is so beautiful, and your father is also very handsome, but... it would be great if he didn't look so sour." "Hahaha..." Dulcie laughed. "Don't mind him. My dad's always like this!" For a child her age,
As soon as Grace entered the house, she bumped into Zaden. He had come down from the stairs, looking for her. "Mr. Andrew," Grace called out to Zaden. She walked up to him and said with an expressionless face, "Moira is here. She's just outside. She's clamoring to come in to celebrate Douglas and Dulcie's birthday. Jayce can't hold her back any longer. What should we do?" In truth, everyone was curious about other's affairs. To want to gossip was a human's instinct. Therefore, Grace was very curious about how Zaden would resolve this matter, but she didn't want to appear too curious. According to Zaden's narcissistic personality, he would definitely think she cared about him. It would be bad if he misunderstood her. Hearing this, Zaden frowned slightly. He had a headache when he heard Moira's name, but he had to deal with it. At least, he had to come forward and drive her away. So, Zaden walked out of the door. "Grace, you better not poke your nose i
Grace was really mad. She had been taken advantage of by that son of a b* tch, Zaden! Ever since she had been bullied by Zaden a few times, Grace had already consciously avoided this situation from happening again. However, she had never imagined that she would fall into his trap this night. She blamed herself for being overly curious and nosy. Sure enough, curiosity kills the cat. Grace silently swore that she would never meddle in other people's business in the future. Although she was reflecting on herself on the inside, her hands were busy pushing Zaden away. She wanted to end this kiss as soon as possible. However, Zaden was completely in control of the rhythm. After learning from his previous incidents, Zaden felt that he was becoming more and more adept at kissing Grace. It was also in this long kiss that Zaden's anger finally calmed down slowly. Perhaps this was a good way to calm himself down? After she was released, Grace quickl
"That's usually not allowed, but you can be angry with me." Zaden knew that Grace was avoiding him, and she knew that he was looking at her. "Grace, if you're willing, we can be more than just employer and employee—" He was about to say something, something dangerously long coming, but Grace had been unwilling to face it. "Mr. Andrew, the traffic light has turned green," Grace interrupted Zaden's words. The impatient vehicles sounded behind him, and Zaden could only helplessly turn around and drive. Later, Zaden did not bring up this topic again along their drive to the restaurant. Grace originally thought that this was only one of Zaden's many tricks, including sending Douglas and Dulcie away. But when she entered the restaurant and found that the whole restaurant had been booked with only one open table in the centre, she realized that this was not something he had done on a whim. Zaden was serious. That uncomfortable feeling was even growing
