In the Lap of Luxury novel (Grace and Benjamin) novel Chapter 479

Grace had a strong feeling of déjà vu. She frowned, but she couldn't seem to remember where she had seen this view before.

Xander smiled silently when he heard her.

He had bought this villa three years ago. He had gotten it after learning that Grace was getting married to Benjamin and going to live in Pamore.

The renovation alone had taken two years. Then, it had been vacant for a long time.

Xander had only started living here after he had moved his company's main businesses to Pamore and founded Futurelink Corporation.

"Maybe villas just have similar designs," Xander said vaguely.

Grace nodded and stopped thinking too much about it. "That's probably it."

They sat down. Then, Xander handed her a glass with some grape wine in it. "Give it a taste."

Grace took a sip and looked into the distance. "The sky is pretty tonight. I can actually see the moon and stars. It feels like it's been a long time since I gazed at the sky."

She couldn't help but feel slightly emotional. "I remember back when we were in school, you, Victor, Caleb, and I would lay on the field and look at the stars. It's been so many years, but somehow it feels like it happened last night."

Xander followed her gaze and looked at the sky. As if thinking of something, he said, "It's been more than ten years, right?"

Grace nodded. Then, she said, "It's been 14 years. I was in my junior year back then, while the three of you were in your senior year."

Grace added, "Also, I remember that a lot of the girls in your class liked you. They would give you love letters and presents, but you never seemed interested. You threw away the love letters without even reading them."

Xander nodded and explained, "I didn't like them anyway. So why would I accept their love letters? It was better to have them give up sooner."

Grace's smile grew wider. "Xander, you're too direct. But we were all young and still so naïve back then. We knew nothing about love."

She finished the wine in her glass in one go and savored the aftertaste. There was a lingering aroma and sweetness in her mouth.
