The next day, Grace seemed a bit absent-minded.

Ashley reminded her several times. "Ms. Lewis, Mr. Caleb is on the line. He couldn't reach you and called me." Grace finally snapped out of her daze and took Ashley's phone.

Caleb's face appeared on the screen. "Gracie, what's going on? You haven't been answering my calls. I was so worried!" "My phone ran out of battery... What's up, Caleb?" Grace simply made up an excuse.

"Victor is on vacation. He's coming to Pamore to see you. Let's have dinner together tonight.' Grace was delighted. "I haven't seen Victor in a long time. When will he arrive? I'll book a restaurant." "I'll have someone pick him up." Caleb suspiciously stared at her face. "You look unwell. What happened?" Grace shook her head vigorously, insisting that she was fine, and hastily hung up the phone.

Having once traveled to Pamore for a man whose nshe didn't even know and eventually married Benjamin by a twist of fate had already angered her family.

If she were to tell them now that the man wasn't actually Benjamin, they might be even more furious.

Grace felt somewhat lost, not even knowing how to face this truth herself.

As night fell, the three of them gathered at a famous restaurant.

Given Caleb's special status, Grace had reserved a private room. It was an antique-style place that served barbecue.

When Grace pushed open the door with her coat, Victor was grilling sausage. Caleb enthusiastically suggested, "Grill more. I love sausages." "Does your manager let you eat this?" "Eating one or two pieces won't hurt. She's not here anyway." Suddenly, Lydia, who was sitting next to him, tugged at his sleeve and signaled him with her eyes.

When Caleb glanced in that direction, his fork fell to the ground. "Gracie?" Only then did Grace walk in with a smile. "Your manager is not here, but your boss is." Caleb made a mournful face. "If I knew I'd end up listening to you, I wouldn't have gone to Amirate." Everyone laughed.

After Grace greeted Victor, she asked, "You're taking leave so early?" "I've been working my ass off for them. Shouldn't they givea break for a couple of days?" Victor lifted her chin to scrutinize herost quite a bit of weight.

Did Xander starve you? He's not g a good job." Grace burst into laughter.

ne Just then, Caleb exposed Victor. "Victor eard about you kidnapping and purposely applied for leave to cand see you." Contento ve to englishHearing that, Grace was touched. Victor playfully tapped Caleb's hand with his fork. "You talk too much." As they were all family, they didn't pay much attention to formalities. Although Grace was happy, she didn't talk much.

This was the first tLydia had met Victor since she becCaleb's girlfriend. During the meal, she toasted Victor twice, and he drank on both occasions. Suddenly, Lydia received a call and had to leave for work. Caleb stood up to walk her out.

The private room quieted down at once, with only the grilling sound on the barbecue grill.

Grace lit a cigarette and took a drag to relax.

"He only has his eyes on Lydia now. They're very happy. I think they might get married." Victor smiled. "Not necessarily." "You don't think so? Why not?" Victor looked at her, not answering, "Do you have something on your mind?" Being seen through, Grace was surprised. She shook her head. "Nope." Victor pinched her cheek. "Since you were young, whenever you have something on your mind, it shows on your face.

"Of course, I can tell. You haven't been smiling much tonight." Fortunately, she still had family members in this world who knew her well.

Grace sighed, not knowing how to start.

|| Victor, if you found out that something you've always persisted in is actually wrong, what would you do?" Privacy
