Five Years Wasted Now They Beg Her Back novel Chapter 533

"Miss Dawson, these flowers are for you!"

Then he shook his head, clearly dissatisfied.

"No, that's too stiff. I sound like I'm reading a eulogy."

Grace was speechless.

Elliot quickly switched his posture, shoving one hand into his pocket and thrusting the flowers forward with an expression he probably thought was suave, but actually just looked sleazy.

"Ivy, are you free for dinner tonight?"

He let out an exasperated sigh and ruffled his hair.

"Ugh, too cheesy."

Sitting in her car, Grace almost burst out laughing.

So there really were people in this world who would clumsily rehearse their opening lines for someone they liked.

Watching Elliot pace around like a nervous wreck, a wave of indescribable emotion washed over her.

It was a mix of relief and comfort.

Ivy was a good woman.

She deserved the most genuine affection this world had to offer.

"Gianna, doesn't that man look silly?"

Grace turned around to tease her daughter, and Gianna let out a cute giggle.

Since they had run into each other, she might as well help him out.

After all, if Elliot kept practicing like this, the sun would set before he ever worked up the courage to go upstairs.

Grace pushed the car door open and stepped out with Gianna in her arms.

"Well, if it isn't Mr. Ashcombe."

Elliot froze as if he had been struck by lightning, nearly dropping his bouquet.

He slowly turned his head, and when he saw Grace standing there, his face flushed a deep shade of crimson.

"Grace!"

In the next second, he frantically shoved the massive bouquet behind his back.

But the bright red petals still peeked out from under his armpit, trembling with his every movement in an incredibly comical display.

Grace almost burst out laughing.

Ninety-nine red roses on a street-side BOGO sale?

"Alright, stop hiding them."

Grace decided to spare him. There was only so much teasing an honest guy like him could take.

"I'm heading up to see Ivy anyway. Let's go together."

Elliot looked like he had just been pardoned, but his nerves immediately spiked again.

Go up with Grace?

What if Ivy rejected him in front of her? Grace would never let him live it down.

"What? Do you not want to go up?"

Grace raised an eyebrow. "I'll just go by myself, then."

"No, no, no! I'm going! Right now!"

Not daring to refuse, Elliot brought the flowers back to the front. His face was still burning, but he finally forced his legs to move.
