Chapter 368 I Was Waiting for You


    Xander stared at Grace, smiling faintly. "Alright, it''s over now. Let''s go back."


    …


    When they got back to Pamore, Grace received a call from Aaron.


    N?velDrama.Org owns this.


    "Gracie, you''ve grown bold. You actually went to meet someone as wicked as Darien Perez alone.


    Do you know how dangerous that was?"


    "Oh, Aaron, I''m fine, aren''t I? Besides, with Xander by my side, what''s there to worry about? Now


    that Darien has been caught, you can rest assured."


    Aaron was already aware of the situation.


    However, he felt that Grace seemed to need him less and less. Such a big thing had happened, and


    she hadn''t even informed him beforehand.


    He felt somewhat upset.


    "No next time, Gracie."


    Grace reassured him repeatedly. "I know, Aaron."


    After a few more words, Aaron finally hung up the phone. Harold stood beside him, looking


    concerned. "How is Gracie? Is she okay?"


    Aaron put his phone away and replied, "Don''t worry, Grandpa. She has that Fulton kid by her side.


    She won''t stir up any major trouble."


    At the mention of Xander, a hint of joy appeared on Harold''s face. "Gracie''s taste has improved a lot


    since thest time. It''s just a pity for the Donegans. The alliance between our two families seems to


    be falling apart."


    His words carried a sense of loss. After all, they had had a strong friendship with the Donegan


    family over the years. If the two families could have formed an alliance, it would have been the icing


    on the cake.


    However, important matters like marriage shouldn''t be forced.


    "Grandpa, we have to trust Gracie''s judgment. She won''t let us down this time."


    "Aaron, don''t just talk about your sister. You''re not young anymore. When are you going to bring


    your girlfriend home for me to see?"


    When it came to himself, Aaron became evasive. "I still have some work to deal with at the office. I''ll


    leave first."


    He quickly left without waiting for Harold''s reply. Harold sighed helplessly as he watched Aaron


    disappear.


    "Why does he act like a stubborn teenager when ites to rtionships? Forget it. I should let the


    young people do what they want."


    …


    Several more days passed, and Grace remained busy. During this period, she took on several new


    projects and handled them herself. So her schedule was packed.


    That day, Grace had a business meeting with clients, and they had dinner at a restaurant in the


    business district.


    She had spent a long time negotiating this coboration and doing thorough research in the


    preliminary stages. However, the other party had been evasive, always dragging things out.


    Before they entered the private room, Luke couldn''t help but mutter, "Ms. Lewis, we''ve shown so


    much sincerity, but they still refuse to budge.


    "It''s obvious they don''t want to work with us. Why do we keep dealing with them?"


    Grace restrained her expression. "Regardless, let''s meet their boss today. If they don''t show


    interest, we''ll give up."


    After speaking, she took a deep breath and put on a smile. Only after that did she push the door


    open and walk in. "Sorry for beingte."


    As soon as Grace entered, she expressed her apologies. However, the next moment, she froze in


    ce.


    The person sitting inside was none other than Benjamin.


    "Mr. Hawkins, what a coincidence! You''re here too?" Sheposed her emotions so quickly that it


    didn''t give other people a chance to notice her momentary awkwardness.


    Benjamin''s eyes were fixed on her. It had been some time since he had seen her. She seemed to


    have lost weight, causing her features to be more distinct.


    "It''s not a coincidence. I was waiting for you."
