Chapter 73 She Made Grace Cry

“Then go home for a day or two, and return immediately after the anniversary.”

Because of Danielle and Alexander, Benjamin had always had endless patience with Yvonne. This time was no exception.

Yvonne put a hand on her belly, but her expression became more and more cunning.

This time, she needed to do whatever it took to stay in Pamore. She didn’t want to stay in this cursed place for a moment longer.

She would like to see how Grace was supposed to seduce her man if she were dead.

Meanwhile, after Grace had chased them out, her mood improved, and she spent a while talking with Hestia about her travels.

When the exhibition ended, Hestia called the mall to shut the place down so that the staff could dedicate themselves to serving her and Grace.

By the time they had finally finished shopping and got home, it had been hours. Grace collapsed onto the couch.

“You really are the woman who traveled the Malakkan Strait. Your physical endurance is superb. I am in awe,” she babbled.

Hestia instructed the maids to hang up her luxury items, then smiled.

“I haven’t bought you clothes in years, so I got you everything nice today. We’ll shop at a

different mall tomorrow.”

Grace looked at the living room. Despite being over a hundred square feet in size, it was filled with all sorts of clothing and jewelry. There was enough to stock an entire store with them.

“We still have more shopping to do?” Grace groaned.

“Of course.”

“I’ll be back in Pamore soon. I won’t be able to wear all of this.”

“Then I’ll ship them back. That, or I’ll stow thent in a room just for you. You can wear them

the next time you visit.”

Grace shook her head in resignation. What a sweet burden this was.

Then, Hestia remembered something important and quickly sat next to Grace.

“Gracie, do stay for a few more days. Xander will be back tomorrow, so you two should schedule a time to meet.”

Grace didn’t know whether to laugh or cry. “Alright, whatever you say, Aunt Hestia. I actually haven’t seen my other brother in years. This would be a nice time to meet.”

Hestia was displeased to hear that. “Stop calling him your other brother. He’s just Xander. You’re not even related, and I’m trying to get you two married to each other.”

“Help! Aunt Hestia’s playing matchmaker again!” Grace escaped to her room.

“Why, you! Get back here! I still need to tell you about Xander’s good traits!”

Grace ran into her room. When she checked her phone, she saw a message from Caleb. “Gracie, why aren’t you visiting me when you’re in Frenda? I’m sad …” it read.

“Haven’t you been busy with your concert? I didn’t want to bother you,” Grace replied.

“No. I have a concert at a stadium tomorrow, and I want to see my precious Gracie there, or I’ll walk off the stage.”

“Fine. I’ll be there.”

The next morning, Grace woke up because of the noise outside.

“Hestia! Open the door and let me in.‘

When Grace pulled the curtains apart, she saw Raymond knocking on the door downstairs with a bouquet of lilies of the valley.

When he saw Grace sticking her head out, he quickly waved. “Gracie! Let me in. I’ve been standing out here for ages.‘

“Don’t you open it, Gracie! Let him stand there!” Hestia’s voice rang out from the window

next to her.

Grace snickered with a hand over her mouth. Seeing old people like Hestia and Raymond act like they were in a will–they–won’t–they romance drama was so funny.

“Gracie, do as Uncle Raymond says. I’ll owe you big time.”

. She cleared her throat. “Aunt Hestia, it looks like it’s about to rain. What if Uncle Raymond

gets drenched and ends up with a cold?”

Aunt Hestia was in the other room, but she clearly couldn’t bear the thought of it. “Oh, alright. Let him in, but don’t let him come upstairs.”

“Got it!”

At the dining table, Aunt Hestia said, “Remember, Gracie. You’re meeting Xander today.”

“But I have to meet Caleb today, Aunt Hestia,” Gracie said, feeling a little guilty. She could have just rescheduled with Caleb, but she was still a little intimidated.

The Xander she remembered was a conservative person who was much older than her. She seriously couldn’t get over that, so the idea of dating him was weird for her.

“Hmm, that’s true. You should be meeting Caleb first.” Hestia nodded. “Take my car.”

“Thanks, Aunt Hestia!” Grace gave her a big hug.

Some time later, she zoomed down the street in Hestia’s Pagani Zonda. The car’s sleek livery look drew many envious looks from the other drivers.

After all, that limited–edition car was the only one of its kind in the whole world. They had never even seen it before outside of concept advertisements.

So they all tried turning their heads to see who owned the car.

However, Grace checked the time and realized she was running late, so she left them all in the dust with just a slight press of the gas pedal.

All the other drivers could do was sigh in the car’s direction.
