Elizabeth nodded happily. She pulled Grace down to sit on the couch. "Wait here for me. I'm going to grab something." Grace was confused. "What is it? | can get it for you." "It's fine. | can do it myself." Elizabeth entered a small side room by her bedroom and cout holding a velvet box.

"I have nothing much to give you, Gracie, but here is sjewelry from when | married my husband." Elizabeth opened the velvet box to reveal a diamond necklace. She motioned for Grace to bend down and put the necklace on for her.

"This is my gift for you." "Grandma, this is too valuable." Grace refused to take it.

Yet Elizabeth insisted on clasping the necklace around Grace's neck.

"Don't think of it as something valuable. This is a token of my affection for you. No matter what, you'll always be like a granddaughter to me. It doesn't matter that we aren't related by blood." "Grandma!" "It looks good on you!" Elizabeth smiled.

"I don't know which lucky man will get to marry you. Nevertheless, | know for sure he has a keen eye and good fortune." Grace felt somewhat guilty. "Grandma, | ..." Elizabeth reassured her, "Silly girl. You can do anything, as long as you're happy." Grace sounded like she was about to cry. "I understand, Grandma." The two women chatted for a while in Elizabeth's bedroom. Later, Grace had dinner with Elizabeth as well.

Benjamin sat with them all the while, a smile on his face as he watched them chat happily. It seemed like he had becsomewhat invisible in the room.

When Elizabeth was about to turn in for the day, Grace got ready to leave. However, as she made her way to the yard, she saw Benjamin, who had been waiting for her for a long time.

Grace stopped in her tracks. Before she could say anything, Benjamin said, "I haven't seen my grandma so happy in a long time, so | wanted to thank you." Grace said candidly, "You don't need to thank me. I'm just here to spend twith her." Benjamin explained, "She's been feeling unwell recently, but I've been busy at the office—" "I know that you're a busy man, Mr. Hawkins, but your grandma is already getting old. You should spend twith her more often." Benjamin replied in affirmation. "I know." This was the first tthings were so peaceful between them since their divorce. Benjamin couldn't help but feel somewhat wistful.

Perhaps things had been like this before, but he could no longer remember it.

"If you don't needfor anything, I'll take my leave now." Benjamin cback to his senses. He had wanted to say something, but all he managed to say in the end was, "Drive safe." Grace nodded, got in her car, and drove away without hesitation.

Only after Grace had driven away did Benjamin remember something. He quickly got in his car and followed after her.
