Chapter 1352 – Grace’s Tenderness
*****At this moment, both Williams and Susan were wearing completely different outfits from yesterday.Not only that.The outfits were new as well, a realization that left Grace stunned for a moment until, ultimately, she didn’t know whether to laugh or cry.Her mother had lied with such confidence and righteousness that even professional scammers would probably bow respectfully before her.‘Mother… if you simply wanted to go shopping, couldn’t you just say so directly?’ Grace thought helplessly.After all, Xavier’s parents had already given her parents enough clothes just yesterday… enough to last comfortably for days.Yet somehow, her mother still used “limited clothing” as an excuse.‘Amazing… truly amazing.’Unable to help herself, Grace gently massaged her temples, suddenly feeling exhausted.Beside her, Xavier also smiled bitterly.Originally, he had wanted to accompany his wife personally, spend time with her before leaving town, tease her during shopping, and maybe secretly h
Chapter 1351 – A Smart Move Vs A Smart Move
*****By this point, Grace had completely regained her calm and elegant demeanor.No trace of her earlier embarrassment remained visible on her face.If anything, she looked so composed that no one would ever believe this same woman had nearly combusted from embarrassment during breakfast less than thirty minutes ago.Looking respectfully at everyone, she spoke.“Due to the recent chaos and unexpected situations, I would need to head to work today,” she explained gently, her gaze unconsciously lingering slightly longer on the two mothers.The moment Xavier heard that opening sentence, his eyes couldn’t help but narrow subtly.Then internally, he instantly rolled his eyes.‘What an incredibly smart woman,’ he thought to himself proudly, instantly understanding what Grace was trying to do.If she had bluntly announced that she intended to go to work, the two mothers would absolutely refuse on the spot and bombard her with concerns, especially after this morning’s misunderstanding.But n
Chapter 1350 – Grace’s Speechlessness
*****“Does… that mean you’re no longer mad at me?” Xavier asked seriously, staring fixedly at her.Instantly, Grace paused for a second before looking at him, smiling faintly.“Was I mad at you before?” she asked back, her voice still calm and gentle.‘Huh?’ Xavier blinked, his brain going blank for a second, then…‘Right…’ Realization slowly struck him. ‘She hadn’t actually been angry,’ he thought to himself.‘She had simply been caught off guard and reluctant to see me leave right after we had finally grown closer.The realization stirred his heart intensely.But still, Xavier quickly forced himself back to reality.“Then… are we okay now?” he asked again carefully.Oddly enough, Xavier suddenly felt nervous waiting for her answer.Grace, however, remained silent for several seconds.And the longer that silence stretched, the more unstable Xavier became internally.By the third second, his mind had already gone into chaos, one thought after another echoing in his head
Chapter 1349 – Xavier’s Concern
*****Once everything was over and the breakfast had digested enough, both Grace and Xavier immediately joined in cleaning the dining table together with the adorable Little Lola, completely ignoring the two mothers who kept trying to chase them away from it.“Aiya, just leave it for us already,” Laura complained helplessly while carrying empty plates.“That’s right,” Susan added with a sigh. “At least act pampered for one morning.”But Grace merely continued gathering the dishes calmly, while Xavier shamelessly pretended not to hear anything.As for the ever-energetic Little Lola, she was unsurprisingly diligent.Her tiny face turned extremely serious as she carefully arranged the spoons by size, occasionally rising onto her tiptoes so she could properly reach the center of the table.She looked so earnest that even Grace’s expression softened several times unconsciously while watching her.“Uncle, this one goes there,” Little Lola reminded Xavier seriously after catching him
Chapter 1348 – Little Lola’s Delight
*****For one dangerous second, Xavier almost decided to forget everything and remain behind, because seeing Grace look like this…It tugged at his heart painfully.But then his eyes shifted toward his parents, who, compared to Williams and Laura, looked visibly older now.In the following second, every trace of hesitation inside him disappeared.“That’s right,” he finally nodded softly while forcing a gentle smile. “There’s something extremely important I need to take care of.”The moment those words fell, the atmosphere became even heavier.Even the cheerful Little Lola quieted down slightly.But then suddenly…“Well then, have a safe trip,” Williams suddenly said with a smile.Everyone turned toward him.“It’s only for a day or two, isn’t it?” he continued warmly. “You’ll return before we even realize you’re gone.”The older man’s tone was relaxed and reassuring, deliberately trying to lighten the mood.And thankfully…It worked.“Hm, two days truly pass in the blink
Chapter 1347 – ‘Don’t Go’
*****Xavier silently stared at his father, mother, father-in-law, and mother-in-law for several seconds, watching all four of them all look at him with such genuine gratitude that the playful atmosphere vanished completely.And strangely enough… or naturally, he didn’t feel happy or satisfied in the slightest bit, hearing those words and seeing their reactions.Instead, he frowned, looking genuinely dissatisfied.“How could you thank me for merely doing what I naturally should?” he suddenly asked, his tone carrying obvious displeasure.‘This…’The four adults froze, not reacting for several seconds. Then they exchanged startled looks.But before anyone could speak…“You’re making it sound like I’m some outsider,” Xavier continued while looking at them seriously. “Am I not your son?”Silence instantly descended over the dining room again.But unlike before, this silence wasn’t awkward.It was emotional.The four adults stared blankly at him for a moment, and then, graduall
