In the Lap of Luxury novel (Grace and Benjamin) novel Chapter 378

"Is the car ready?"

Callum hurried forward, grinning. "It's ready, Xander. The driver will take you to Coronia University."

Xander turned to Grace. "Shall we go now?"

Grace nodded and walked beside Xander. As the two of them walked together, Callum quickly kept up with them, chattering and acting as a guide along the way.

…

On the way, Grace looked out of the window at the gradually familiar scenery.

She found herself lost in thought, as if transported back to the days of her university life. That had been a youthful and beautiful time.

It wasn't until the car slowly entered the university campus that she snapped back to reality.

Raising her eyes, she saw tall, straight, plane trees standing before her. Under the glow of sunlight, they look beautiful.

The driver parked the car in the parking lot.

Callum was the first to speak. "We're here."

Xander and Grace got out of the car, with Callum wisely choosing not to be a third wheel.

Waving to them, he said, "Xander, Grace, you guys go ahead. I'll wait here. If you need anything, just give me a call."

After a nod, Xander took the initiative to hold Grace's hand. The two walked side by side along the path.

As they stepped on the familiar bluestone blocks, Grace couldn't help but say, "Time really flies. It's been almost four years since I graduated."

Grace was incessantly introducing her alma mater, completely unaware that, not far away, a scrutinizing gaze was fixed on her.

Eventually, as if to confirm something, the woman walked directly toward Grace and Xander.

"Grace, is that really you?"

Grace turned around and saw her former professor, Kelly Birch, looking at her with a smile. Surprised, she hurriedly approached and hugged her. "Professor Kelly, it's been so long."

"I thought I was seeing things, but it really is you. After these years, you've matured and become even more beautiful. I heard you got married. Is this your husband?"

Kelly looked at Xander with appreciation. "You two look like a perfect match."

Grace wanted to explain, but Xander extended his hand, greeting Kelly. "Nice to meet you, Professor Kelly. I'm Xander Fulton. Just call me Xander."
