>» Chapter 707 Happy New Year to My Girlfriend The elevator arrived. Xander looked up and saw Grace standing in the doorway.

Her hair was casually tied up in a messy bun, reflecting her usual simple style. Draped in an ivory-white Kidhnian traditional gown, Grace effortlessly embodied the elegance required to pull off such attire. The gown complemented her figure flawlessly.

She looked gentle and soft as if lacking any harsh edges.

Xander's eyes dimmed as he imagined her clinging to his arm, introducing herself as his wife at social gatherings. Warmth flooded his being, a feeling he couldn't shake.

Grace's voice was as clear as a bell. "Uncle Raymond, Aunt Hestia." Raymond nodded.

Hestia was delighted and took Grace's arm at once. "I said that this dress would suit you, didn't I? I was right." "Aunt Hestia, you have great taste as always. My brothers all complimented me today." "What about Xander? What does he think?" Xander stood under the lights and looked at her admiringly. "It looks good."

Grace smiled and fluttered her eyelashes at him. : They entered the room and greeted the others. It was an unusually crowded occasion.

Grace stood beside Xander. She whispered in his ear, "Do I really look ~ good in this?" Xander's hand rested on the back of her chair as he clinked glasses with her and said softly, "It would look even better if you only wore it for me." Grace burst into laughter and pinched him stealthily under the table.

Why was he so competitive? It was a rare occasion to have everyone there. Harold raised his glass to make a toast before everyone started eating. They were all family, and the atmosphere was convivial.

Xander allowed himself to relax.

Grace's cheeks were flushed from the wine she had consumed. She propped her chin in her hands and said, "Happy New Year, Xander.

Where's my present?" | Xander was amused and tapped her gently on the head. "What do you want a present for?" "You didn't prepare one?" Grace's eyes widened, and she looked upset. "You always used to prepare a present for me. Why have you ~ become so stingy now?"

‘She had always done this when they were kids. Every new year, she would throw a tantrum. "Happy New Year, Xander. What's yours is mine, so give me a present." He had always given in to her. "Then what about what's yours?" "What's mine is still mine!" Xander couldn't help laughing. He retrieved a small package from his suit pocket and gave it to her. "Happy New Year, girlfriend." Grace was delighted. However, she pouted in disappointment when she saw a small package. "It's not a card or something, is it?" "Try feeling it." Grace tried feeling it through the packaging but then gave up and opened it. Inside, there was a black card. She was surprised. "How much money is on this card?" Xander pinched her cheek. "You greedy little thing. You can't just ask me directly. Go home and check it yourself." Grace acquiesed and obediently put the card away.

The waiter came to serve the dishes. Within the spacious room, they watched a procession of figures move outside. Suddenly, the leader halted, his gaze honing in on a figure clad in an ivory-white Kidhnian traditional gown.

Grace looked gentle and compliant as she spoke earnestly to Xander.

She played absent-mindedly with his hand. They appeared extremely -_ i intimate, looking like the perfect couple.

Benjamin felt his heart constrict.

~ "What are you looking at?" An annoyed voice rang out. It was Susan.

She had suffered recently, and as a result, she had become even more overbearing and bad-tempered. When she saw Grace, she spat out, "What a vixen!" Benjamin immediately left.

After several rounds of drinks, the dinner table gradually grew quiet.

Only Aaron was still drinking. Grace couldn't help worrying when she saw him. "Aaron doesn't seem to be in a good mood today." Xander had noticed, too. He patted her on the back. "Let's go and have alook." Grace got up and walked over, leaving her phone on her seat. The screen lit up, and Xander glanced carelessly at it. It was a message.

"I'm going to advise you one last time—Xander isn't a good man. Stay away from him. I'm saying this for your own good."
