Chapter 100 Get To Know Me

Harold and his three grandsons had been waiting in the living room for a while.

When they had seen the news, they had felt relieved that the apple of their eye was safe. But as they thought about it, they realized something was amiss.

How had these two already been portrayed as a couple on the internet?

Caleb deeply regretted leaving on an earlier flight to meet his friends in Darai, leaving Grace to fly back alone.

Meanwhile, Raymond was relieved to see his son and wife coming to the rescue. “Xander, greet Mr. Lewis Senior.‘

Xander approached and politely nodded. “Hello, Mr. Lewis Senior.”

“Hi.” Harold was dressed in an indigo suit. Though his hair was all gray, he still looked vibrant.

Meanwhile, Aaron and Xander exchanged glances, acknowledging each other. They were classmates and had a good relationship.

Victor analytically assessed Xander, thinking about sneaking into the latter’s computer to

check his character.

On the other hand, Caleb was hostile. He was determined not to let anyone take Grace away

from him.

“Gracie is sleeping,” Xander calmly said.

“You’re.not calling her ‘Gracie‘!” Caleb couldn’t hold back his temper.

“Be polite!” Harold warned Caleb.

He turned to Xander and asked with a commanding tone, “The media is spreading news about you and Gracie. What are your thoughts on this?”

“It’s my wish to have Gracie in our family. The sooner we arrange the wedding, the better,” Hestia said excitedly.

“When Xander found out about Gracie’s plane crash, he immediately dropped everything to go to the airport by helicopter to replace her. He deserves a perfect score for his quick actions.”

Raymond, of course, shared Hestia’s approval of Grace as their daughter–in–law and quickly chimed in, saying, “That’s the best.”

“I don’t want you to say it. I want to hear it from your son.” Harold was serious.

They were at Fulton Residence to confirm Grace’s condition and clarify this matter.

Xander and Grace had had limited interactions, but he had still gone to the chaotic airport to

replace her.

As a loving grandparent who wanted the best for his grandchild, Harold scrutinized Xander with a shrewd gaze. He was satisfied with what he saw.

Xander was a gentle, young business prodigy who had raised a company to prominence. Even

Aaron had vouched for his character.

Harold felt that Grace’s previous marriage hadn’t gone well due to his oversight, but it

wouldn’t hurt to play matchmaker if Xander had feelings for Grace.

“There’s no rush in this,” Xander said.

Half–smiling, Harold looked at Xander. “Do you think Gracie isn’t worthy of being with you because she’s been divorced? She has many suitors out there!”

“Of course not! Xander isn’t the kind who cares about past relationships,” Hestia quickly explained while pushing Xander forward to speak.

Facing the scrutiny of everyone present, Xander remained composed.

He felt that now was the time to express his feelings for Grace openly. “I’ve liked Grace for a long time.

“Although she appears strong, she hasn’t fully recovered from the trauma of her past

marriage.

“She might see me only as a brotherly figure. I hope everyone can give her some time to get to

know me.”

With this statement, Harold’s admiration for Xander grew.

Likewise, Grace’s three brothers had no words to say. Xander was undoubtedly much better than Benjamin for respecting their sister to this extent.

Meanwhile, Hestia and Raymond secretly gave their son a thumbs–up in their hearts.

Grace, who was standing outside the living room, felt loved.

Thinking back to her self–pity at the airport a while ago, she found herself hilarious.

Everyone in the living room was her family. They were all thinking about what was best for her. So why should she cling to the past and not pursue her own happiness?

She was ready to start anew–for herself and for those who loved her.

Joyfully, she returned to the bedroom, and a maid handed her a new phone.

“Ms. Lewis, there’s a call for you.”

While lying on the soft bed, Grace glanced at the phone and waved her hand casually. “Decline it and block it.”

On the other side of the world, in Frenda, Benjamin heard the notification sound on his phone and knew he had been blocked again.

“Larry! Give me your phone to make a call!”
