Chapter 491 Stay True to What You Love
"What are you talking about? What does this have to do with me finding a wife in the future? Victor,
speak clearly!" Caleb said.
"Bro, you''ve got to find out on your own!"
"No, you''ve got to exin this to me today."
Xander ignored Victor''s teasing and went to the art room by himself.
He stood outside the window and spotted Grace. She was inside, practicing still-life art.
She held the pencil in her hand as she drew out the lines with each stroke of her pencil. Her
movements weren''t practiced, but she was very focused.
Xander had never seen her like this before.

He stood there quietly, watching her in silence. Grace remained sitting there even after the end of
the art ss,pleting the art assignment that she hadn''t been able to finish in ss.
After a long time, Grace finally stopped what she was doing. She raised her sore arm, and a sh of
joy appeared on her face. "Phew, I''ve finally finished drawing it."
She had just finished when Xander pushed the door open and entered. "Are you done?"
Grace turned. At some point, she had gotten paint on her face, but she waspletely unaware of
it.
When she saw Xander, she looked delighted. "Xander, what are you doing here?"
Xander walked toward her, a smile in his eyes. Atst, he said, "Gracie, do you want to look in the
mirror and see what''s be of your face?"
"Huh? What?"
Grace hurriedly got up and approached the mirror to take a look. "Oh my, when did I get this on me?
Xander, wait here for me. I''ll go wash it off in the restroom."
With that said, Grace slipped off in the direction of the restroom. When she came out, Xander
handed her a handkerchief.
"Wipe your hands."
"Thank you!"
Grace took it and dried her hands. Then, she asked, "Xander, didn''t you have ss today? How did
you have time toe and see me?"
"Nothing much. I just came over to see you. I heard Victor and Caleb say that you n to study
fashion design."
Without trying to hide anything, Grace nodded in assent.
"I think studying design is pretty good. In the future, I can open a boutique, start my own brand, sell
the clothes I design, and I can even join Fashion Week with my own designs …"
As Grace spoke, her eyes shone as brightly as the stars. It seemed as if there was a light shining
directly on her.
"I even thought of settling down in the city where I''ll work. I can have a big house with a huge pond
in the backyard where I can raise fish."
She continued, "It''ll be best if I can have a big garden and grow flowers and nts that I like. And it
would be great if there was a swing that I could sit on to read books and newspapers and watch
dramas on sunny afternoons, in early spring, in the heat of summer, in the depths of autumn, in
winter …
"I can be with the person I love for all four seasons of the year and all three meals of the day."
She looked dreamy as she pictured her future.
Xander listened to her dreams of the future as he stood beside her. She spoke lightly, but he kept
every single word that she said in his heart.
He looked at her, and his eyes were full of tenderness. He couldn''t help asking, "Is this what you
want?"
Grace looked back and assented vigorously. "Yes! It sounds pretty simple, but there''s still a long
way to go to make it a reality."
"No. It wille true," Xander said softly.
