In the Lap of Luxury novel (Grace and Benjamin) novel Chapter 463

Elizabeth nodded happily. She pulled Grace down to sit on the couch. "Wait here for me. I'm going to grab something."

Grace was confused. "What is it? I can get it for you."

"It's fine. I can do it myself."

Elizabeth entered a small side room by her bedroom and came out holding a velvet box.

"I have nothing much to give you, Gracie, but here is some jewelry from when I married my husband."

Elizabeth opened the velvet box to reveal a diamond necklace. She motioned for Grace to bend down and put the necklace on for her.

"This is my gift for you."

"Grandma, this is too valuable." Grace refused to take it.

Yet Elizabeth insisted on clasping the necklace around Grace's neck.

"Don't think of it as something valuable. This is a token of my affection for you. No matter what, you'll always be like a granddaughter to me. It doesn't matter that we aren't related by blood."

"Grandma!"

"It looks good on you!" Elizabeth smiled.

"I don't know which lucky man will get to marry you. Nevertheless, I know for sure he has a keen eye and good fortune."

Grace felt somewhat guilty. "Grandma, I …"

Elizabeth reassured her, "Silly girl. You can do anything, as long as you're happy."

Benjamin replied in affirmation. "I know."

This was the first time things were so peaceful between them since their divorce. Benjamin couldn't help but feel somewhat wistful.

Perhaps things had been like this before, but he could no longer remember it.

"If you don't need me for anything, I'll take my leave now."

Benjamin came back to his senses. He had wanted to say something, but all he managed to say in the end was, "Drive safe."

Grace nodded, got in her car, and drove away without hesitation.

Only after Grace had driven away did Benjamin remember something. He quickly got in his car and followed after her.
