Chapter 68 Not So Irritating
Unlike his previously carefree self, Timothy simply smiled gently. “It looks like you don’t need a
handkerchief.”
Grace remained stone–faced. “Of course not. I wasn’t crying.”
“I thought you would be crying your eyes out like you had last time. I even prepared two
handkerchiefs.” Timothy took out a second handkerchief with a twinkle in his eyes.
“I came prepared, didn’t I?” he asked.
Grace recalled that night on the roof in Darai. She couldn’t believe that she had cried in front of her
nemesis, so her expression wavered a little.
“I wasn’t crying. You remembered it wrong.”
Timothy didn’t argue with her and simply nodded. “I must have, then.” Watching Grace’s unhappy
expression, he wondered if she had been crying over Ben that night.
“Do you want me to beat him up?” Timothy asked with a seriousness he rarely showed, then rubbed his
hands together. “Your wish is my command.”
“That’s your buddy we’re talking about. It’s already a miracle that you didn’t side with him.” Grace
shrugged as if she couldn’t believe him.
However, Timothy smacked his chest so hard that he coughed. “No way! I’m the bearer of justice! Why
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtwould I side with him just because he’s my friend?”
He looked at Grace with a smile, looking like a knight trying to serve his queen. He willingly submitted
to Grace’s beauty.
Timothy’s seriousness was so funny that Grace couldn’t help but laugh. “You’re just making it up as you
go.”
“As long as you’re willing to hear it.” Timothy walked over to stand by her side.
“Such a smooth–talker,” Grace continued to mock him, but this time she was smiling.
The fact that he had stood up for her made him a hundred times better than Benjamin, that willfully
blind man.
When she looked into his eyes again, he seemed… less annoying than before.
“Seriously, though. Can you do me a favor and forget that I insulted you?” Timothy asked nervously as
he suddenly’straightened his back.
“I was too shallow in the past. I’ll change!” he added. He didn’t know he had hurt such a good
woman.

He knew that everyone needed to take responsibility for their mistakes.
He was an honest man, but he was also a man who learned from his mistakes. He wasn’t going to
double down like Benjamin did.
“I’ve already forgotten about it. Just stop following me around to declare your love every day, “Grace
said coolly, reaching up to smooth her windswept hair.
“No way!” Timothy said stubbornly, “I won’t give up on courting you!”
“You’re so annoying.” Grace tucked her hair behind her ears and left, then waved in Timothy’s direction.
“Thanks.”
“If Ben comes looking for trouble again, just call me. Remember that!” Timothy yelled.
“Stop nagging.”
Grace called her driver to pick her up, then went home. Before she went to bed that night, Lydia called
her.
“Why did you leave before we did? Emily was worried about you,” she asked.
“The Hawkins were there again, and I couldn’t be bothered to deal with them, so I left,” Grace said
simply.
“I put Tears of the Ocean in the safe.”
“Oh, okay.” It was only then that Grace remembered the necklace.
Lydia shook her head when she realized Grace had completely forgotten about the billion- dollar
necklace. Truly, this Lewis girl was rich beyond belief.

him?” Grace started teasing Lydia again.
“Asshole. I’m hanging up.‘
Grace giggled when she heard the dial tone. She really needed to get Caleb back in Pamore so that
the two of them could get together.
The next day, Grace took a flight to Frenda. This time, she headed straight for Hestia Riley’s
villa.
“Gracie! I missed you so much!” Hestia dragged Grace into the living room the moment she
saw her.
“I missed you too.” Grace refused to let go of Hestia’s hand and rested her petite head on her shoulder.
“Aunt Hestia, I missed your cooking.”

“No problem. If you want it, Gracie, I’ll cook for you at once.”
Hestia felt even more fond of Grace when she looked sideways at her, who was still acting cute and
leaning against her shoulder.
Then, she pretended to be angry. “If you missed me, why didn’t you come visit me sooner?”
