In the Lap of Luxury novel (Grace and Benjamin) novel Chapter 393

Grace left the police station dejectedly.

Xander followed closely beside her and offered her a bottle of water. "Drink some water. Let's get some rest."

Grace shook her head slightly. "Xander, I need some time alone."

She walked alone along the path while Xander stood still, his gaze fixed on her retreating figure.

Callum returned and asked, "Why aren't you following her? What if something happens to her here?"

"Give her some space. We'll just follow behind."

After saying this, Xander started walking, following Grace from a distance. Callum shrugged helplessly. He shook his head and followed Xander's pace.

"Xander, it's been so many years. Haven't you made any progress?"

Callum looked at Grace and continued, "You shouldn't hesitate! If you delay, she might run off with someone else again—"

Before he could finish, Xander shot him a look.

Callum shut his mouth compliantly and pondered momentarily before saying, "I'm just reminding you. You don't have to keep some things to yourself. You should tell her."

He thought that Grace might have feelings for Xander. It seemed that they were deliberately avoiding their feelings. They needed to confront their feelings head-on.

"So many years have passed. A little longer won't matter."

Xander's gaze softened as he watched Grace and spoke affectionately. "Nothing matters as long as it's her in the end."

Callum shook his head helplessly. Xander was only gentle and considerate when it came to Grace. After all, only those in love knew what it truly felt like.

"Did you bring the laptop?"

Callum responded, "It's in the car."

Just then, someone sprang from behind and grabbed her arm.

The next second, she was spun around and fell into the arms of a stranger. Their eyes met, and she felt mesmerized.

The man wore a mask and hat, revealing only his deep eyes.

He stared at her and said in an alluring voice, "Stop investigating and go home."

Grace was puzzled. Her face was filled with confusion.

Before she could react, the man let go of her and walked away quickly.

Grace hurriedly followed and yelled, "Who are you? What do you mean by that?"

But the man moved very fast and lost Grace at a traffic light. When Grace looked around, the man had disappeared without a trace.
