In the Lap of Luxury novel (Grace and Benjamin) novel Chapter 456

"I understand, grandma, don't worry."

Elizabeth sighed. "Now only you and I are left in this house. How can I not worry about you?"

Then, she asked, "By the way, how is Grace doing?"

At the mention of Grace, Benjamin simply said, "Grandma, don't worry. She's doing well."

Hearing this, Elizabeth nodded understandably. "Yes, Grace is a good girl. It's just a pity you two weren't destined for each other. If only ... well, let bygones be bygones. It's late. You should rest early too."

"Yes, Grandma, you should go back to sleep."

After leaving Elizabeth's room, Benjamin went straight back to his bedroom.

Over the past three years, he had rarely been at home, with Grace taking care of everything. Now, after their divorce, he had been coming home more frequently.

But sometimes he found himself missing the times when Grace still lived there.

Benjamin pushed the door open and found no signs of Grace. Any traces of her had been gradually erased over time.

He stood before the window and looked out at the night view. He couldn't help but take out a pack of cigarettes, light one, and place it between his lips.

The smoke swirled around him, adding a touch of melancholy.

Unbeknownst to him, Elizabeth had come to the doorway with a housekeeper supporting her. Just as the housekeeper was about to speak, Elizabeth stopped him.

She looked at Benjamin by the window, sighing helplessly. Then, she quietly whispered to the housekeeper, "Let's go. Help me back to my room."

"Yes, ma'am."

Elizabeth sensed the changes in Benjamin and decided something. "Get me my phone. I'll call Grace tomorrow morning."

"Yes, ma'am."
