Grace was extremely surprised. She didn't expect Xander to remember everything.

"How much was it?" It was over 100 million dollars-definitely not a small amount.

But Xander thought it was worth it. "Do you like it?" His eyes were gentle as he gazed at the surprised Grace.

"I do... but how much was it?" She knew that it was undoubtedly expensive. Even though they were not lacking in money, it wasn't an ordinary accessory after all.

Xander took the necklace and bent down to put it on for her. "The price doesn't matter as long as you like it." Their interaction was intimate, like a couple deeply in love.

After Xander put it on for her, he turned to face Shawn. "Let Mr. Griffin take a look." The ruby was large, and Grace's skin was fair. It looked exceptionally beautiful on her.

Shawn squinted his eyes. When he noticed the hickey below her collarbone, he quickly looked away.

"Ms. Lewis is beautiful. Anything looks good on her." Shawn then stood up. "Thank you both for coming. I have other matters to attend to. Enjoy your there." He left and closed the door. Just then, Spencer approached. "Why do you look so pale? What happened?" "I'm wearing a mask. You can tell?" "You're giving off a murderous vibe. Do I need to look at your face? Did Ms. Lewis provoke you?" Not answering, Shawn handed over the gift. "Put it away." When Spencer left, Shawn raised his head and met Benjamin's eyes in the opposite private room. Benjamin was sitting cross- legged, like a wolf that had been spying for a long time.

Inside the room, Grace put away the necklace since she didn't want to draw too much attention. "Why do I feel like he's not very happy today?" Xander lowered his eyes, pondering his own thoughts.

"Where were we just now?" "Jessica. You said she might be right under our nose." "When I return to Frenda this time, I'll leave Peter to handle follow-up matters and protect you. At least I can ensure your safety." He was serious, but Grace chuckled. "I have bodyguards around me. You don't need to leave Peter here." Xander poured out the tea and brewed a new pot. "What kind of tea do you like?" "Black tea." "I'll order sto be stocked here. Maybe we'll have a chance to cby in the future." He changed the subject, and Grace couldn't do anything about it.

As she cradled her face, she observed him skillfully executing a series of actions to brew the tea.

With his long fingers and impeccable technique, his performance was truly a visual delight.

She took out her phone and took pictures, not taking his eyes off him.

"Why are you taking pictures?" "Memories. I don't know when I'll see you again." Seeing her pitiful face that evoked sympathy, Xander chuckled.

"It's been so many years, and you won't even say hello when you see me?" In the men Oate room next door, two e each other. BenjaminlOp With similar figures sat a sip of tea and slowly spoke Upon careful observation, the two only had slightly similar facial features.

Other than that, they were completely different.

Shawn was firm and decisive, while. Benjamin was gentle and deep, someone who had been used ne to currying favor in the world of fand wealth. "I appreciate you attending the opening ceremony of Blossoms Teahouse, Mr. Hawkins. As for the rest, I'm not quite sure." "Blossoms wither, yet the heart remains true. You opened this teahouse because you resent me." Benjamin clenched his fingers, feeling a complicated emotion.

"Resent you for what? Resent you and your mother seizing everything from the Hawkins family? Or resent you for knowing that she liked me, yet still pretending to beand marrying her?" Shawn spoke calmly, but he hit the nail on the head.

Benjamin slammed the table. "I didn't know back then! Plus, you had the accident-" "Benjamin, I don't want to pursue the past. Why do you insist on bringing it up?" Shawn interrupted him.

"Is that so? Then why did you open this teahouse? Isn't it to oppose me—" "I want a life." Shawn interrupted him again. "I'm no longer a cop." Benjamin was stunned.
