Chapter 378 Is This Your Husband

“Is the car ready?”

Callum hurried forward, grinning. “It’s ready, Xander. The driver will take you to Coronia University.”

Xander turned to Grace. “Shall we go now?”

Grace nodded and walked beside Xander. As the two of them walked together, Callum quickly kept up

with them, chattering and acting as a guide along the way.

On the way, Grace looked out of the window at the gradually familiar scenery.

She found herself lost in thought, as if transported back to the days of her university life. That had been

a youthful and beautiful time.

It wasn’t until the car slowly entered the university campus that she snapped back to reality.

Raising her eyes, she saw tall, straight, plane trees standing before her. Under the glow of sunlight,

they look beautiful.

The driver parked the car in the parking lot.

Callum was the first to speak. “We’re here.”

Xander and Grace got out of the car, with Callum wisely choosing not to be a third wheel.

Waving to them, he said, “Xander, Grace, you guys go ahead. I’ll wait here. If you need anything, just

give me a call.”

After a nod, Xander took the initiative to hold Grace’s hand. The two walked side by side along the

path.

As they stepped on the familiar bluestone blocks, Grace couldn’t help but say, “Time really flies. It’s

been almost four years since I graduated.”

In three of those four years, she had lived for Benjamin. She had been trapped in that miserable

marriage, persisting in a relationship she shouldn’t have held onto.

“Yeah. Time really flies.” Xander stared at her, seemingly reminiscing about something.

“In my memory, you’re still that little girl with braids who wailed. Now, you’ve become an independent

CEO.”

“What? When did I wail?” Grace defended herself. In her memory, she had been adorable and gentle.

Smiling, Xander looked at her with affection. “You were a little crybaby.”

“No way! I never was.” Grace denied. Although her childhood memories weren’t so clear, she firmly

denied crying a lot as a child. After all, that would ruin her current image.

The two chatted and chuckled as they walked, creating a harmonious scene.

The dorm is there. The cafeteria is on the right. Oh, right, the gym is on the other side. The archive

room we want to visit is at the very end.”

Grace was incessantly introducing her alma mater, completely unaware that, not far away, a

scrutinizing gaze was fixed on her.

Eventually, as if to confirm something, the woman walked directly toward Grace and Xander.

“Grace, is that really you?”

Grace turned around and saw her former professor, Kelly Birch, looking at her with a smile. Surprised,

she hurriedly approached and hugged her. “Professor Kelly, it’s been so long.”

“I thought I was seeing things, but it really is you. After these years, you’ve matured and become even

more beautiful. I heard you got married. Is this your husband?”

Kelly looked at Xander with appreciation. “You two look like a perfect match.”

Grace wanted to explain, but Xander extended his hand, greeting Kelly. “Nice to meet you, Professor

Kelly. I’m Xander Fulton. Just call me Xander.”
