Chapter 623 Reopening
"That''s not what I meant. I just suddenly thought that Aunt Hestia and Uncle Raymond would be
upset if they knew that you got injured because of me."
Grace felt guilty.
"It''s just a minor injury."
"For parents, there''s no such thing as a minor injury. They would feel sorry for you."
After Grace said that, Xander was momentarily lost in thought.
In the early years, when Hestia and Raymond were divorced, it seemed no different from before for
outsiders.
But only he knew that Raymond had to leave often to visit Prisci and Jake.
No matter if they were close or not, Jake was still his biological son, and Raymond was not a
heartless person.
After growing up, Xander asionally saw Prisci—the woman who had destroyed hisplete
family.
Yet, he still had to respectfully address her as Aunt Prisci.
If Raymond had felt sorry for Xander, he wouldn''t have put him in this situation.
"What''s on your mind?" Grace smoothed his furrowed brow.
Xander came back to his senses.
"It''s nothing. I''ll probably leave in three days."
Grace couldn''t help but hold him tighter, feeling a bit teary-eyed. "So soon?"
"You seemed very magnanimous just now."
Grace blushed at his words. "I don''t want you to leave. I''ll miss you."
She hadn''t expected that her rtionship, after so many years, would be a long-distance one.
They said long-distance was challenging, and she was starting to feel it.
"I''ll stay with you after this," Xander promised.
However, Grace didn''t take it to heart. Considering the scale of Fulton Group, it couldn''t function
without him. "I can visit you often."
Seeing the lovebirds being lovey-dovey, Luke withdrew sensibly.
The next morning, Peter came to report.
"Quentin''s information was urate. We''ve found Ryan. The casino''s debt collector went after him,
and he lost a hand."
Hearing that, Grace was terrified. She turned around to straighten her cor.
She loved to sleep. When Xander woke her this morning, she stayed in bed and refused to move.
Helpless, he tickled her waist, making her burst intoughter. They fooled around and tumbled on
the soft bed. Except for thest step, they did everything they could.
The scar on her neck waspletely covered by a hickey.
Xander put on his windbreaker. "Where is he?"
"In our custody. His confession is almost the same as Samuel''s testimony. Both im to have been
instigated by Jessica.
"He provided a few ces where Jessica might be. We looked, but she''s not there."
"What about Quentin''s son?"
"Luckily, after Ryan disappeared, his men also ran away. Quentin''s son was barely alive. When he
was brought to Yeager Residence, Quentin almost fainted."
When Grace finished getting ready and turned around, Xander just happened to say, "Now that it''s
clear, send him to the police station to cooperate with the investigation."
The reopening ceremony of Blossoms Teahouse was grand, with many high-end cars parked
outside.
Grace got out of the car, and Xander, carrying a gift, followed.
This belongs to N?velDrama.Org: ?.
When they reached the entrance, Grace handed over the invitation. "Hi, is Mr. Griffin here?"
"Yes, but he''s very busy today. If it''s a gift, you can leave it with me, and I''ll register it."
After some thought, Grace felt it wasn''t appropriate to do so. "Tell him that I''d like to personally give
him this gift."
The person opened the invitation and took a quick look before closing it.
"Oh, Ms. Lewis. Mr. Griffin instructed me to reserve a private room for you. Follow me."
Hearing this, Xander squinted his eyes.
The teahouse was so nicely renovated that no signs of the previous fire remained. The private room
was elegant, and though the tea set wasn''t expensive, it was tasteful.
Xander opened the window. "The owner is not only aesthetic but also quite well-connected."
