However, Grace hadn't expect Raymond to bring Priscilla along.
As soon as they entered and handed their coats to the waiter, they saw Raymond and Priscilla standing side by side at the head of the table.
Priscilla looked gentle and elegant. Grace wanted to leave immediately, but she forced herself to stay.
Victor, on the other hand, seemed casual.
"Uncle Raymond, you've gone through a lot of trouble."
"Uncle Harold is old and he's always worried about the happiness of his grandchildren. Of course, I have to share his worries too."
Raymond smiled and continued, "Let me introduce you. This is Priscilla. Grace has already met her."
Victor glanced at Grace and immediately realized why she looked upset.
He nodded and greeted, "Aunt Priscilla."
"Victor, right? I had not met you that day. The ladies all said you were outstanding, and it seems they were right."
Priscilla smiled as she approached them. "This is a gift I specially prepared for you. This wine is over hundred years old. Young people like you are busy with work, but you also need to relax."
She handed over a red box and added, "I also have one for Grace. I guess there might have been some misunderstanding between us. Don't take it to heart."
Grace frowned and declined the gift.
"I should be apologizing for winning your money that day. You should enjoy this wine yourself."
The atmosphere turned awkward.
Raymond's expression darkened, and Victor intervened at the right time, "Let me thank you on behalf of Gracie."
After they got seated, Priscilla busied herself with ordering dishes. She asked about dietary restrictions and was very polite and hospitable, as if she were the lady of the house hosting her guests.
Grace kept her head down and played with her phone.
Occasionally, Raymond would ask her a question. Only then would she look up.
"This is a blind date for Victor. I'm just accompanying him."
"I know about you and Xander. He can work steadily because of your support, Grace. You have always put me at ease since you were young."
Grace played with Victor's hand without saying anything.
