Chapter 7011 Do Love You 4 Grace leaned into his embrace and played with her fingers.

After a long time, she straightened up and said seriously, "I'm thinking of doing something, but I want to ask your opinipn on it. If you don't agree, won't do it." From her earnest expression, Xander could tell that she was nervous and uneasy. He took her hand comfortingly.

"Go ahead." "I want to investigate the truth about i Lyra's death and bring the culprit to justice." The corners of Xander's lips turned down when he heard this.

"I know that this doesn't have much to do with investigating Celia, but after I listened to Grandma's story today, it ¥ = keeps weighing on my conscience,

"I feel that now that I know about it, I can't just stand by and do nothing," | Grace explained nervously as she waited for him to reply. ne Xander lowered his eyes and stared at her hands. "Investigating the affairs of the Hawkins family will be equal to falling out completely with Benjamin. Are you * sure about this?" The ultimate result would put Hawkins Group in danger and cause many repercussions.

Grace thought Xander minded Benjamin's existence, so she made her feelings clear at once.

"Since I've decided to investigate it, I won't be afraid of falling out with him.

Besides, there are no longer any feelings at all between us." Xander was half buried in the couch, and , only his broad chest was visible. He changed tacks. "What stance are you

assuming in this investigation?" » Grace was startled. o That was a good question. It would be out of line for her to investigate this, whether she did so as an ex-wife or as an | employee.

"Why are you investigating this? Is it really just out of compassion?" Xander smoothed out the loose strands of , her hair and tucked them behind her ear for her. There was an imperceptible note of danger in his tone.

He knew why Grace was doing it, and he felt a sense of crisis rise up in his heart. It was an unfamiliar feeling for him.

She lowered her head and remained silent. Her cheeks were puffed out slightly, and she was expressionless as she thought about it carefully.

y . After a while, she raised her head. "1 will investigate it as Grandma's goddaughter

The reason is to give justice to the dead." Xander looked at her for half a minute. He d knew that she was determined. ~—— "Then, investigate it." "You agree?" Grace was surprised and delighted. She dove into his arms.

"When have I ever opposed anything that you decided to do? Even if I did oppose it, you would investigate it by yourself in , secret." So, he might as well support her.

His hand circled her waist and rubbed it gently. Then, he asked suddenly, "Have you met Alexander?" Grace stiffened noticeably. She was guilty.

Grace was finding it hard to breathe. He, finally let go after a long time, and his finger traveled down to a red trickle at the side of her lips.

It was her blood.

She didn't understand and complained.

"My lip is torn." ' Xander's expression was unreadable as | he wiped it slowly away. "Do you like me, Grace?" His question caught her off guard. She blinked and didn't answer right away.

The light in his eyes dimmed. "You don't | like me,"

"No!" Grace immediately covered his mouth and tried to explain urgently.

j ¢ "I'm just surprised that you used the | word 'like' and not 'love'. You don't even have the confidence to ask me if I love you.

"Xander, I don't think I'm treating you well enough if you can't feel my love for you. I'm very sorry." Her eyes were clear and bright, and they were filled with tender sorrow for him.

"But Ido love you."
