Chapter 1350 – Grace’s Speechlessness
*****“Does… that mean you’re no longer mad at me?” Xavier asked seriously, staring fixedly at her.Instantly, Grace paused for a second before looking at him, smiling faintly.“Was I mad at you before?” she asked back, her voice still calm and gentle.‘Huh?’ Xavier blinked, his brain going blank for a second, then…‘Right…’ Realization slowly struck him. ‘She hadn’t actually been angry,’ he thought to himself.‘She had simply been caught off guard and reluctant to see me leave right after we had finally grown closer.The realization stirred his heart intensely.But still, Xavier quickly forced himself back to reality.“Then… are we okay now?” he asked again carefully.Oddly enough, Xavier suddenly felt nervous waiting for her answer.Grace, however, remained silent for several seconds.And the longer that silence stretched, the more unstable Xavier became internally.By the third second, his mind had already gone into chaos, one thought after another echoing in his head
Chapter 1349 – Xavier’s Concern
*****Once everything was over and the breakfast had digested enough, both Grace and Xavier immediately joined in cleaning the dining table together with the adorable Little Lola, completely ignoring the two mothers who kept trying to chase them away from it.“Aiya, just leave it for us already,” Laura complained helplessly while carrying empty plates.“That’s right,” Susan added with a sigh. “At least act pampered for one morning.”But Grace merely continued gathering the dishes calmly, while Xavier shamelessly pretended not to hear anything.As for the ever-energetic Little Lola, she was unsurprisingly diligent.Her tiny face turned extremely serious as she carefully arranged the spoons by size, occasionally rising onto her tiptoes so she could properly reach the center of the table.She looked so earnest that even Grace’s expression softened several times unconsciously while watching her.“Uncle, this one goes there,” Little Lola reminded Xavier seriously after catching him
Chapter 1348 – Little Lola’s Delight
*****For one dangerous second, Xavier almost decided to forget everything and remain behind, because seeing Grace look like this…It tugged at his heart painfully.But then his eyes shifted toward his parents, who, compared to Williams and Laura, looked visibly older now.In the following second, every trace of hesitation inside him disappeared.“That’s right,” he finally nodded softly while forcing a gentle smile. “There’s something extremely important I need to take care of.”The moment those words fell, the atmosphere became even heavier.Even the cheerful Little Lola quieted down slightly.But then suddenly…“Well then, have a safe trip,” Williams suddenly said with a smile.Everyone turned toward him.“It’s only for a day or two, isn’t it?” he continued warmly. “You’ll return before we even realize you’re gone.”The older man’s tone was relaxed and reassuring, deliberately trying to lighten the mood.And thankfully…It worked.“Hm, two days truly pass in the blink
Chapter 1347 – ‘Don’t Go’
*****Xavier silently stared at his father, mother, father-in-law, and mother-in-law for several seconds, watching all four of them all look at him with such genuine gratitude that the playful atmosphere vanished completely.And strangely enough… or naturally, he didn’t feel happy or satisfied in the slightest bit, hearing those words and seeing their reactions.Instead, he frowned, looking genuinely dissatisfied.“How could you thank me for merely doing what I naturally should?” he suddenly asked, his tone carrying obvious displeasure.‘This…’The four adults froze, not reacting for several seconds. Then they exchanged startled looks.But before anyone could speak…“You’re making it sound like I’m some outsider,” Xavier continued while looking at them seriously. “Am I not your son?”Silence instantly descended over the dining room again.But unlike before, this silence wasn’t awkward.It was emotional.The four adults stared blankly at him for a moment, and then, graduall
Chapter 1346 – A Warm Atmosphere in the Dining Room
*****No.Grace wasn’t merely staring at Xavier right now… she was trying to assassinate him silently with her eyes.The murderous aura radiating from her gaze was so terrifyingly concentrated that Xavier nearly swallowed instinctively before he even realized it.Cold sweat formed down his back almost immediately, and for a second, he genuinely felt like the temperature around him had dropped by several degrees.Honestly, if looks could kill, the dining room would already be preparing his funeral portrait.And the worst part… he knew exactly why she was glaring at him like that.It was because of his shameless remarks earlier and the way he had indirectly encouraged both mothers.But the truth was that aside from standing at the side with an innocent smile… or what he believed to be one, he hadn’t actually done anything.If anything, he was the one who had saved the situation, and yet…Of course, he didn’t dare defend himself.That would only make things worse.So, like a
Chapter 1345 – Grace’s Intense Embarrassment
*****Little Lola, standing nearby while holding a spoon almost bigger than her hand, stared at the entire scene with widened eyes full of confusion.Her tiny brain was clearly trying to process why the beautiful aunty suddenly became the center of an emergency family meeting after one night.Then suddenly, her expression changed.Concern instantly filled her innocent little face.“Is the beautiful sister… sick?” she muttered seriously to herself, sounding genuinely worried.The moment those words fell, the adults nearly choked again.David instantly lowered his head and pretended to focus on his coffee, while Williams coughed so violently he almost looked ready to ascend into heaven.Even Xavier had to bite the inside of his cheek to stop himself from laughing out loud.But Little Lola noticed absolutely nothing.Instead, she hurried toward Grace with tiny, hurried footsteps, her expression extremely solemn, like a miniature doctor about to save a patient.“Beautiful siste
