However, Linda had no idea what the older woman was thinking. She hurriedly replied, “Mr. Fulton asked me to drive them here.”
Hestia merely responded with an “oh” and cast a resentful look in Xander’s direction.
Xander scratched his nose, not understanding why Hestia was looking at him like that.
Without further delay, Hestia immediately drove Linda away. “If that’s the case, Linda, your task is considered complete.
“Since my goddaughter is here today, I won’t keep you around for dinner. We’ll set up another time for you to visit our home as a guest.”
Upon hearing that, Linda’s expression changed subtly, but she quickly regained her composure. “Sure, Madam Fulton. In that case, I’ll head back now.”
Then, she turned toward Xander. “Mr. Fulton, I’ll take my leave then.”
Xander simply nodded in response.
Linda clenched her fists tightly. She was reluctant to leave, but she couldn’t find a valid reason
to stay right now.
After she left, Hestia turned to Grace. “Oh, sweet Gracie, don’t you worry! He won’t be having any more female assistants around him in the future. What a nuisance, all these office
romances.”
She then glared at Xander. “Quickly get her transferred from her current position, or I’ll make sure you regret it.”
Xander didn’t have any objections to that. After all, Hestia’s words are final.
On the other hand, Grace was surprised by how direct Hestia was.
However, she soon asked, “Aunt Hestia, didn’t you say you made my favorite lasagna? I’m starving.”
“You little foodie, get inside quickly,” Hestia responded.
They sat down and ate together, creating a warm and cozy atmosphere.
“Gracie, have some more of your favorite lasagna,” Hestia said.
Grace looked at the overflowing plate of food in front of her and said, “Aunt Hestia, that’s plenty. I won’t be able to finish it if you give me more.”
Xander put on a confused expression. He couldn’t help but feel like an innocent victim in this banter.
“Mom, I seriously wonder if I’m really your biological child,” Xander said as he helplessly shook his head.
