"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
Grace felt as though she was sitting on pins and needles. Even before the movie began, she felt as if she was about to go crazy from the environment and the atmosphere. She held popcorn in her arms and fed it to herself to ease her tension. Zaden glimpsed at her and said, "Didn't you say you were not hungry? I bought only one bucket. What am I supposed to eat if you finish it?" Grace quickly handed him a popcorn bucket and said, "You can have it." Zaden didn't take it from her. He opened his mouth and let out an 'ah', waiting for Grace to feed it to him. Grace only felt that she was about to lose it. The popcorn bucket in her arms was like a hot potato. She threw it into Zaden's arms and scolded him, "Are you handicapped?" After saying that, Grace didn't dare to look a Zaden. She picked up her only drink, bit into the straw, and drank it. When she was nervous, she would unconsciously bite the straw. Soon, the circular straw had flattened out from her
Moira had never been so embarrassed in front of her friends. Her hatred for Grace was growing. How was she to explain that Grace was the vixen who had taken her children and her man? Moira didn't know how to explain it, but her silence made Anerly's imagination run wild. What was Zaden doing? Even if she wanted to stand up for Moira, she was not brave enough to stick her nose into other people's business. Both sides fell into an awkward silence, except Zaden. And in that situation, it was not appropriate to greet each other. Grace was annoyed. Previously, she had told Moira many times that she had no feelings for Zaden, but now Moira had caught her holding hands with him at the cinema. Wasn't this... Grace exerted a little more force, wanting to escape Zaden's grip. As a result, Zaden clenched his fists even tighter. Ignoring Moira, Zaden held Grace's hand and said affectionately to her, "What are you waiting for? Don't you want to
"Yes." Douglas nodded his head coolly. Grace was speechless. Did she owe the Andrew family in her last life? Why was she suffering from the trio's bullying... The only worry Miley had about Zaden finding a partner was that her grandchildren would not like her. Since Douglas and Dulcie liked Grace very much, she didn't have to worry about her at all. Miley happily looked at her grandchildren and said, "I like her too." Zaden was extremely pleased with himself. It looked like he was one step closer to making Grace his wife. The only thing he needed to tackle was Grace herself. Grace was already on the verge of going crazy. She felt like a rabbit that had inexplicably fallen into a wolf's den and was about to be devoured by its family. Zaden knew that Grace definitely wasn't at ease, so he didn't intend to torture her even further. "That's enough for today, Mom. We're leaving." Zaden stood up and said, "Douglas, Dulcie, let's go." The
"Think about it," Zaden suggested seriously. "What's more, don't you like them very much?" This time, Grace did not immediately deny it. She lowered her head. As she tried to push away the man leaning against her neck, she ordered him to stand up straight. Zaden's achievements were by no means accidental. At least he's made progress in this. He immediately put away his casual attitude and showed his usual posture when negotiating business. "Grace, I am serious. I mean every word and every suggestion I've said to you. Be my girlfriend, please?" "It doesn't matter if you lie to me, but can you lie to yourself?" "Grace, are you sure you don't feel anything for me?" Zaden was closing in on her, and Grace had nowhere to retreat to. She could only dig for answers from her heart in such a tense situation. She felt like a small boat on the sea, teetering on the verge of collapse. "Don't force me, please." After holding it in for a long time, Grace fina
Grace's pajamas were mostly in a cutesy pattern. Zaden had seen her wear them before, so he didn't find it strange. What surprised him was that among the conservative clothes, there was a pair of very sexy pajamas! Zaden couldn't help but feel restless, thinking who she was preparing to show this set of pajamas to. No matter who she had shown it to in the past, he would be the only one from then on. Hence, without hesitation, Zaden took the sexy pajamas back to his bedroom. Through the tiny crack in the door, he handed the pajamas to Grace. It was steaming in the bathroom. The temperature in the room was much lower. Zaden could smell fragrance of his shampoo in the air... Grace would also have this smell on her. As soon as he thought of this, Zaden became even more excited! As Zaden was daydreaming and indulging in his fantasy, an angry scream came from the bathroom! "Zaden!" "W-What's wrong?" Zaden was convinced that her screams we
"Come on, what posture do you want to see? I'll pose for you," Zaden announced in a generous way. Grace was speechless. Saying that he was cheeky was an understatement. Grace didn't want to face Zaden at this moment. She pushed him away like a spoiled child and asked, "Why aren't you getting up? Aren't you going to work today?" "Well—" Zaden stretched and said lazily, "I don't want to go." In the adult world, there were not so many people who could do whatever they wanted. Even if they were at Zaden's level, it was impossible to abandon work for love. The Empire Group was such a big company. It was not only the Andrew's family business but also the source of numerous employees' lives. As the boss, he was responsible for everyone. "How can you be like this?" Grace said, "You have to work hard!" Although she was in a relationship with him, she was still the cook of the Andrew family. She was not going to accept love as salary! "Are yo
"You are so bad!" Grace pouted and glared at Zaden. Zaden was too cunning, which was really eye-opening for her. Zaden was not angry about being commented as "bad", and even had an impulse to prove it. His kiss became more passionate and he subconsciously tugged on Grace's clothes... Grace didn't come to her senses until she touched the edge of the table and was awakened by the cold touch. "Are you done yet?" Grace complained as if she was troubled. Weren't they still in the study room? Was it appropriate for them to behave like this here? Even if no one would barge into the study, Grace still felt extremely ashamed to behave like this in such environment. "I'm not done yet," Zaden gave a brief answer. He felt as if he had been starving for two days. Grace was a beautiful woman, and the fragrance she emitted was so tempting that he couldn't stop thinking about it. Zaden really didn't want to admit that when he had gone to work on th
