In the Lap of Luxury

Chapter 622 The Heart Remains True

The day Samuel concluded his testimony, the police contacted Grace to gather information.

The servant served coffee, and the discussion went on for two hours.

"He implicated Jessica, but we don't know where she is. We're actively searching for her. If Amirate can provide any assistance, we'd appreciate it."

Toward the end, Angus spoke in an official tone.

Grace rose gracefully and thanked them.

"Thank you for coming in person. I appreciate your efforts."

"Ms. Lewis, you're now one of Pamore's major contributors to taxes. It's only right for us to make the trip."

Angus closed the pen cap and stood up. "You're different from us ordinary workers."

Grace handed him his briefcase. "You're serving the people."

As she saw them out, Luke walked in. They nodded in acknowledgment as they passed by each other.

Then Luke handed her a red invitation letter.

"I went back to your place this morning and saw an invitation. I thought I'd bring it over."

Angus turned around just in time to see Grace open the invitation.

"What are you looking at? Can't take your eyes off a beautiful lady?" his colleague teased.

Angus nudged him. "No, I was looking at the invitation. It seems familiar."

"Blossoms Teahouse is done renovating?" Grace was puzzled when she saw that it was Shawn's invitation.

"Yes, it's been nearly a month. It reopens tomorrow. If I hadn't seen the invitation, we might have missed it."

Shawn probably didn't know that she had moved to Summitview Manor, but Grace appreciated his gesture. "Prepare a gift. I'll go tomorrow." Exclusive content © by Nô(v)el/Dr/ama.Org.

Luke hadn't responded yet when a large hand took the invitation from her hand. The man's voice was slightly hoarse. "Blossoms Teahouse?"

Grace turned around in surprise. "You're awake. Did you sleep well?"

"I haven't taken a nap in years. It feels a bit strange."

Xander was working even with his injuries. Grace couldn't bear to see him like that, so she insisted that he take a two-hour nap.

Originally, she promised to accompany him, but she had woken up at some point.

Xander closed the invitation. "What is this?"

"The teahouse that had a fire last time is reopening. The owner saved me, so I thought of preparing a gift.

"What kind of gift do you think would be good?" Grace nestled in his arms.

Xander pondered the name of the teahouse. "Blossoms wither, yet the heart remains true. This owner is quite interesting."

As he mentioned this, Grace's eyes lit up. "That's the meaning of the teahouse's name? Does Mr. Griffin have someone in his heart?"

"His last name is Griffin?"

"Yeah, Shawn Griffin. I made Luke deliver a thank-you gift to express my gratitude. Oh, I invited him to the gala that day."

Grace suddenly remembered. "I promised to introduce Caleb to him, but there was a little mishap..."

Xander lowered his gaze. The scar on her neck had faded. "Gracie, you introduce your family to anyone?"

Grace denied it. After a moment of contemplation, she understood the hidden meaning of his words.

She laughed joyfully. "Why be jealous? He saved my life. Of course, I have to do my best to fulfill any request."

She was quite naive in certain matters. Xander didn't say much. "I'll go with you tomorrow."

Since he was willing to accompany her, Grace had no objections. She wrapped her arms around his neck, acting coquettishly.

"I forgot to ask you. How many days are you staying this time?"

He had agreed to attend the gala at the last minute. He probably hadn't completely resolved Fulton Group's matter.

Yet, he had been staying in Pamore for four days already, which was quite long.

Xander took the opportunity to embrace her. "Are you trying to drive me away?"
