In the Lap of Luxury
Chapter 509 A Realization

Caleb replied earnestly, "Gracie, she's a woman. She showed tremendous courage by shielding me in a dangerous situation. Is there a problem with me caring about her?" "No! Haven't you realized why she saved you?"

This question left Caleb confused. Grace sighed softly and changed her tone. "Then, why did you go there today?"

Caleb quickly responded, "I received a text message saying she was in danger, so I prepared the ransom according to the message and went to rescue her."

"What were your feelings at that time?"

"Feelings? Gracie, given the urgent situation, how was I supposed to feel anything other than anxious?"

Upon hearing his own words, Caleb slowly realized that, apart from being anxious, his mind had been full of worry for Lydia.

He had been worried that something would happen to her. He had been desperate to know whether she was safe and sound.

He had panicked the moment he had received the kidnappers' message. It was a feeling he had never experienced before.

"Caleb, after being with Lydia for so long, didn't you notice any difference in her feelings toward you?"

Caleb fell silent. His mind was flooded with memories of Lydia. Although some of the flashbacks were from a long time ago, they were unexpectedly vivid in his mind at this moment. "Caleb, aren't you aware that Lydia likes you?"

Grace's question came like a bolt from the blue.

Caleb froze. The news was so shocking that it took him a long time to react.

"What did you say? Lydia ... likes me?"

With that being said, Caleb felt his heart racing rapidly, and a genuine joy and excitement surged through him.

Noticing his reaction, Grace sighed helplessly.

She wanted an answer for Lydia. If Caleb had feelings for Lydia, Grace would definitely make an effort to bring these two lovers together!

But if Caleb wasn't interested in Lydia, Grace would help her forget about him and then scout a better candidate for her.

"Caleb, answer me properly. Do you like Lydia?"

Caleb gulped. He opened his mouth, but he couldn't bring himself to utter a complete sentence for a long time.

Grace let out a deep sigh. As she was about to say something, Caleb interrupted her.

"Thank you, Gracie!"

"Huh?"

Grace looked at him in surprise, but Caleb just smiled. He patted her on the shoulder and said, "Xander's been waiting for you outside for a long time. You go ahead. I'll take care of things here."

"It's not..."

Grace wanted to speak further, but Caleb gave her a knowing look.

She raised her eyebrows and swallowed her words.

From his expression, it seemed like he had a realization. It also seemed like Caleb wasn't completely indifferent to Lydia.

Did this imply that they might be on the brink of starting a romantic relationship?

Lost in her thoughts, Grace let out a bright smile. "Alright, Caleb. I'll leave Lydia to you." With that, Grace waved to him, turned, and left.

Xander couldn't help but ask as he saw her. "What's making you so happy?"

Grace smirked and said, "Xander, I might have a sister-in-law soon!"

Sister-in-law?

Xander smiled knowingly. "You mean Lydia?"

Grace nodded fervently. "Of course! She has liked Caleb for so many years, and finally, there's a ray of hope there."

Grace was being optimistic about Caleb and Lydia's relationship, but Xander rained on her parade. "Things might not go as smoothly as you think."
