Back at Grace's house, Lydia was so excited after listening to what had happened that she couldn't fall asleep.
"Oh my gosh, is this a movie? I can't believe love like this exists!"
Grace smiled without saying a word, her mind filled with thoughts of Xander.
Lydia typed rapidly on her phone until Grace stopped her. "What are you doing?"
"This is big news. Of course, I have to share it!"
She was about to send it to their group chat, but Grace stopped her. "Don't mention anything yet."
"Why?" Lydia couldn't understand. "Your relationship is confirmed now. Unless …"
"It's not that." Grace deleted the text Lydia had typed. She was struggling to articulate her feelings. "It's just that our relationship isn't stable yet. Let's wait until it is."
Lydia thoughtfully studied Grace's expression. "Gracie, are you still unsure of him? You know, it's been years. It's not like the movies, where it passes in the blink of an eye.
"This has finally happened after a long, painful wait. A man like Xander, who could have any woman, decided to wait for you this whole time. That's hard to come by. Don't miss out."
Perhaps because she had gone through something similar, Lydia empathized with Grace.
Grace nodded. "I know. It's just that I feel everything isn't as simple as that."
Even though everything seemed to be out in the open between her and Xander, she still felt like there was a lot she didn't know about him.
Seeing her like this, Lydia didn't press further. She decided against sending the message in the group chat. Then, she aimlessly opened her social media and suddenly laughed.
"What?"
Lydia handed Grace the phone. "Frederick just posted this."
It was normal for everyone to follow each other on social media in Pamore, so it wasn't a surprise that Lydia was following him.
Grace glanced at the phone.
Frederick had posted a photo with the caption, "He didn't get the girl and ended up paying the bill. I won't say who's so unlucky."
It was unmistakably Benjamin in the photo. He was paying the bill at the club, looking annoyed and cold as he handed his card to the waiter.
Grace instinctively smiled. But suddenly, her gaze fell on something, and her smile froze.
"What's wrong?" Lydia asked.
