In the Lap of Luxury novel (Grace and Benjamin) novel Chapter 635

Upon hearing that, Hestia asked, "Are you blaming me, Xander?"

"I didn't mean that."

"I can't help it. I hate him whenever I think about how he betrayed our marriage and had a child with another woman.

"I just hate them so much that I wish they were dead. If it weren't for you, I wouldn't even see him again."

Hestia gritted her teeth, unable to control her trembling.

Xander understood that these years of deception and compromise had been hard for Hestia. He held her hand and said wearily, "I understand. Leave it to me. I'll handle it."

"I’m sorry that you can't do what you want because of me. You can't be in charge of Futurelink and can't reunite with Grace." Hestia looked at him with a sense of guilt.

She knew Xander had not had an easy time in both his career and relationship these past few years.

Raymond was right about something.

"If it's true love, we don't have to be constantly together." Getting up, Xander said, "Grace is not a petty person."

Back in the bedroom, he took a shower and video called Grace.

It was daytime in Pamore. She was in the car. "Have you had dinner?"

"Yeah, at Fulton Group." Xander scrutinized her on the phone. "Where are you going?"

"I have work outside," Grace simply replied, leaning closer to the camera. "I put on makeup today. Do I look good?"

"Very good, and you seem to be in good spirits." He smiled.

Grace acted quite normal. It seemed that she hadn't been affected by that text message. She didn't have any intention of telling Xander about it either.

"You should go to bed soon. It's getting late in Frenda. Rest well."

Unbeknownst to Xander, after the call was ended, Victor approached Grace.

In a joking tone, he said, "Why didn't you tell him that you're going back to Frenda? You've learned how to give surprises."

The vehicle was heading in the direction of the airport.
