Grace leaned into his embrace and played with her fingers. After a long time, she straightened up and said seriously, "I'm thinking of doing something, but I want to ask your opinion on it. If you don't agree, I won't do it."From her earnest expression, Xander could tell that she was nervous and uneasy. He took her hand comfortingly. "Go ahead.""I want to investigate the truth about Lyra's death and bring the culprit to justice."The corners of Xander's lips turned down when he heard this. "I know that this doesn't have much to do with investigating Celia, but after I listened to Grandma's story today, it keeps weighing on my conscience. "I feel that now that I know about it, I can't just stand by and do nothing," Grace explained nervously as she waited for him to reply.Xander lowered his eyes and stared at her hands. "Investigating the affairs of the Hawkins family will be equal to falling out completely with Benjamin. Are you sure about this?"The ultimate result would

The little girl spoke very adorably. Grace was highly embarrassed. The girl just wished them a happy marriage.Xander, on the other hand, was in a great mood. He reached into the shopping cart, took out some bills, and handed it to the little girl. "Here's some pocket money." "That's too nice of you. There's no need…" The parents hurriedly refused. "It's for her." Xander insisted, stuffing it into the little girl's hand. Grace chuckled. "Just accept it. He's in a good mood." Xander was most likely in a good mood because of the little girl's words. As they left the supermarket, Grace asked, "Why did you tell them we're married?" "It's just a matter of time. I just said it early. It's not lying." Xander smiled ambiguously. Grace grimaced in disdain, "You like children." "They're alright, but whether we have children is up to you." Xander understood the damage a baby could bring to a woman's body; prioritizing her health was paramount. "Do you prefer boys or girl

Grace shook her head and said, "I've met with Reina. She ratted you out." Upon hearing this, Celia stumbled back in anger and shock. "That's impossible. I told you, I didn't do it." "Is that so? Then Reina lied. I'll have the police interrogate her again." Grace calmly deceived her and watched her crumble in confusion and anxiety. Celia glared at her fiercely, her disgust intensifying. "I'll have my lawyer tell you about the consequences of perjury." Grace finished speaking, feeling a bit annoyed, and walked to the smoking area by the window, lighting up a cigarette. The cigarettes in her bag belonged to Xander. There was probably a mix-up when they met. They were strong, but they brought a sense of calm. Either way, the trust between Celia and Reina would take a severe hit. A cornered mouse would surely make a big fuss. As the lawyer finished reciting legal terms, Celia was on the edge of agitation, screaming, "Get out! I don't want to hear it!" She ran out

The elevator arrived. Xander looked up and saw Grace standing in the doorway.Her hair was casually tied up in a messy bun, reflecting her usual simple style. Draped in an ivory-white Kidhnian traditional gown, Grace effortlessly embodied the elegance required to pull off such attire. The gown complemented her figure flawlessly.She looked gentle and soft as if lacking any harsh edges. Xander's eyes dimmed as he imagined her clinging to his arm, introducing herself as his wife at social gatherings. Warmth flooded his being, a feeling he couldn't shake. Grace's voice was as clear as a bell. "Uncle Raymond, Aunt Hestia."Raymond nodded.Hestia was delighted and took Grace's arm at once. "I said that this dress would suit you, didn't I? I was right.""Aunt Hestia, you have great taste as always. My brothers all complimented me today.""What about Xander? What does he think?"Xander stood under the lights and looked at her admiringly. "It looks good."Grace smiled and fluttered

Jake's expression changed, but he recovered very quickly."When I get married, even if no one else comes, you have to come. Otherwise, I'll be disappointed." Jake looked in Xander's direction as he said the second half of the sentence. He was obviously provoking him. Xander focused on him and did not move. "No matter when your wedding happens, Jake, Grace, and I will prepare a large gift."After getting rebutted, Jake raised his eyebrows and patted his girlfriend on the butt. "You still have many things to learn from Ms. Lewis. Go and make a toast."His girlfriend was obedient. She walked over to Grace with a glass of wine. She had a fake smile plastered on her face. "Ms. Lewis, I've heard so much about you. My name is Nancy Willis, and it seems we'll be seeing a lot of each other in the future. I hope that you'll go easy on me."A moment passed with the wine glass suspended in the space between them. Grace glanced at it. "I don't drink alcohol that's given to me by strangers."
