31. Making Up Stupid Story

"Earlier, you mentioned that living alone is boring, even for a quiet person like you," Adro said."That's true, but you still have to go home, right? I'm not trying to kick you out. Honestly, I'm quite glad you're here to liven up the atmosphere in this house. I just don't want to take advantage of your situation just to make myself feel better," Grace explained as she gazed blankly at her cereal bowl.Adro was silent, staring at Grace. "Then, my presence makes you feel better?"Realizing what she had just said, Grace raised her face and looked at Adro. She blinked several times, feeling her cheeks getting warm. "I-I mean, my feelings about this house. You know, I used to have my grandma; we lived together. But when I suddenly had to live alone, it felt a bit strange. If there's someone else living here, it wouldn't feel as lonely as when I'm alone.""I-I think everyone would feel the same as I do. I once invited Bella to live with me, but she chose to live with her boyfriend after h

32. Reliable Man

Grace, Bella, and Adro walked Sarah to the departure gate. The girls hugged each other tightly, and Bella and Grace couldn't help but shed tears as they had to part with Sarah for a long time."I'll miss you so much, Sarah," Grace said, hugging Sarah once again.Sarah smiled faintly and patted Grace's back. "Me too. Take care, Grace. Avoid stress because it will make you age quickly. Chase your dreams, and don't listen to what others say. They just want to see you fall, so don’t be too kind to give it to them."Grace nodded. "I know. Don't forget to call me whenever you have time.""I will. My time might be limited after this, but I'll try to save a little for you two," Sarah replied.When Sarah felt Grace was about to release the hug, she tightened her arms around Grace's back. "And, Grace. Remember not to be too kind and trust people easily, especially men.""We can't judge someone's heart just by their appearance and words, right? B

33. Lose Control

The streets were illuminated by streetlights and car lights. Inside a moving taxi, Adro watched the business from the window. "What's that large vehicle?"Grace, who was lost in thought while staring out the other window, leaned over to see what Adro was pointing at. "Oh, that's a bus.""I saw many of them on the road. They carry a lot of people who often get on and off at the roadside," Adro observed."Buses are a common mode of transportation used by the residents of Torben. You can travel to almost anywhere by bus," Grace explained.Adro furrowed his brow. "Are bus fares cheaper than taxis?""They are. But buses are often crowded, and they only stop at designated stops, so it's easier and more comfortable to use a taxi.""Why do we always use taxis then?" Adro raised an eyebrow."Well... that's because my ankle is injured. On the other hand, I'm also not sure you would be comfortable squeezing into a bus," Grace explained."

34. Not A Stranger Anymore

"Are you done?" "Y-yes," Grace replied. "You can use the bathroom." "I'll take a shower later. I've prepared dinner for us. I hope you like it," Adro said, arranging plates on the counter. Creeping towards the table, Grace felt a dryness in her throat that made it difficult for her to say a word. However, Adro's smile and body gestures were like a flowing stream that allowed her to breathe. "Thank you for doing so much," Grace said, looking at two servings of mashed potatoes, grilled chicken breast, and boiled fresh broccoli. “No problem," Adro replied, then sat on a bar stool next to Grace. Scooping the mashed potato into her mouth, Grace discreetly glanced at Adro, who was enjoying his meal. It seemed like he was genuinely pleased to be more useful here. "You can say it if you want to," Adro suddenly said, his eyes still focused o

35. Expect Too Much

"Gosh! You know that is hard to believe, right, Grace?" Sarah said."Believe me, Sarah; I'm more depressed than you about this because I experienced it myself. Now you should understand why from the beginning, I was reluctant to explain it to you all," Grace replied."Fine!” Sarah clucked. “So, Adro comes from another world, and he's a prince who was about to get married, and now he can't go back to his world because the door that brought him here is broken?" Sarah shortened Grace's lengthy explanations."That's correct. But if you don't believe it, that's okay. I won't force you," Grace said. Even after explaining at length, she still heard clear doubt in Sarah's voice."No. No. I do believe it. Well, more precisely, what I believe is that you're not lying to me. But that doesn't rule out the possibility that you're the one being used by him, right?"“I don't know about that, Sarah… I hope he is indeed a good guy. But agai

36. Painfully Beautiful

"That's a … great idea," Grace forced a stiff smile. "But I'm afraid I won't be able to capture it according to your expectations. I'm afraid of ruining it."Shaking his head, Adro replied. "You don't need to worry about that. Your hands are talented. Whatever the result, Joselyn will surely feel honored to be painted by an artist like you."Seeing Grace silent with her head down and hands constantly rubbing her arms, Adro moved his seat closer to him. He smiled gently as he pulled Grace's hand to stop her from rubbing her arms. "You're very talented, Grace. Believe in yourself."Grace took a deep breath and nodded. "Okay... I'll give it a try."Grace understood that she had a weak heart. Adro's charm was undeniable to any woman; she was aware of that. However, she wouldn't usually have strong feelings for a man just because of his looks. If she felt pain in her heart now, didn't that mean she liked Adro, and it was not just for his physical appear

37. Building A Wall

"All right! Hopefully, we'll be lucky today," Adro sang before glancing at Grace. "You've sacrificed a lot for this.""Hey... It's my day off," Grace chuckled."A day-off you forced to take in the middle of your hectic class schedule," Adro added.Grace shook her head once. "Nope. I do enjoy going to the city library, so it feels like a short vacation for me."Smiling a little, Adro patted Grace's shoulder before guiding her towards the library entrance. He knew Grace was just finding positive reasons to accompany him. However, he wouldn't try to bring that up this time so they could make good use of their time because, since Grace entered the exam period, they rarely had the chance to enjoy time together, even just

38. Adro's New Job

‘What are you thinking, Grace? Adro is the fiancé of a good woman. They're getting married!’Watching Grace take a deep breath and exhale as if the weight of the world had been placed on her shoulders, Adro cleared his throat before speaking again: "Sometimes, I wonder if your school is enjoyable.""Pardon?" Grace turned to Adro."Honestly, I've always wondered if you enjoy going to university. It's because you always look exhausted when you come back from there. Your face, for some reason, looks tortured." Adro explained.Adro's question left Grace silent. Images of her unpleasant university life played in her mind. The only thing that made her excited about life was Adro. Besides him, her life felt like hell, especially on campus after Sarah left and the elevator incident that still became the hot thing to laugh at."Is… is that so? I didn't know I looked like that. But I'm sure it's because I'm tired from studying. You

39. A Real Holiday

"You will start working tomorrow?" Grace's eyes widened. She almost dropped a piece of sausage in her mouth."Yes. I even got a uniform." Adro nodded without lowering his chin."But... are you sure about working there?" Grace asked.Rolling his eyes, Adro complained, “My God, Grace, why do you always do this? Just because I'm a prince who lives in a palace doesn't mean I can't do various things. I swear I'll slay a dragon in front of you if there's a chance, so please stop thinking of me as a spoiled prince.""It-it’s not that, Adro," Grace said before hurriedly sipping water to avoid choking. Then, she adjusted her seat to face him better. "I'm not thinking you wouldn't be competent as a fast-food server. I just thought... maybe there's a job more suitable for, well, your appearance... and background."Squinting his eyes, Adro recalled that a similar question was asked by Mr. Willis, the man who would be his boss tomorrow. The man whos

40. A Strange Feeling

At a restaurant surrounded by large windows facing a flower garden, Grace and Adro decided to fill their stomachs and rest their tired legs after hours of walking and playing in the theme park."This place is truly fantastic," Adro said."It's nothing compared to the many larger ones in bigger cities and other countries," Grace replied."It's been an exhilarating day. I feel like I've never been this happy in my life. It's a new feeling," Adro continued with a slight mumble, his gaze falling to the table.Giggled a little, Grace responded, "Don't exaggerate it. I'm sure it's because this is something new for you.”Pausing for a moment, Adro nodded slightl
