Chapter 713 First Taste of Love The next day, Grace was awakened by the pain.

It was on this day that she realized that the feeling of being run over by a car described in s was not an exaggeration at all.

She groggily opened her eyes and found herself being held in Xander's arms. Rolling over, she saw him sleeping peacefully beside her. While he slept, the coldness on his face was gone, leaving only gentleness.

Grace had never felt so content in her heart, as if she had found her home.

She reached out and tapped his prominent nose. When she withdrew her hand, Xander suddenly grabbed it. Opening his eyes, he asked, "Were you staring at me?" Surprised, Grace replied, "You were awake?" Xander held her even tighter. "I woke up when you moved." His voice was husky.

"It's the first day of the new year. We have to get up early to meet Grandpa." His hand moved down, pinching her waist teasingly. "Can you get up?" Grace blushed instantly. Yesterday's situation was beyond her

expectations. The unrestrained Xander was too domineering. They ended up staying up until around 5:00 am. He only let her sleep as dawn approached.

Now, her whole body was sore and achy.

"You have the nerve to say that?" "Let's get up after two more hours," he said, his lips brushing against her cheek.

"Why?" Instead of answering her, Xander showed her with his actions.

"Xander! You... It's morning!" Under the covers were a couple experiencing their first taste of love.

Naturally, they were unwilling to part.

At the same time, over a hundred clubs in the Pamore downtown area were undergoing spot checks.

The inspection included liquor, hygiene, security, and whether there were any illicit transactions.

En route to Lewis Manor, Grace drove past Nightshade Bar, the biggest club on Primrose Street, where she saw five police cars parked outside.

Danzel got out of the lead car and led the team inside.

As the elevator opened, Nancy hurriedly walked out, wearing her usual | smile. "Chief Bradley, didn't you conduct a spot check before the New Year?" Danzel grinned wryly. "It's New Year's Day. None of us wanted to do this either, but we were given a last-minute task from above. Sorry to bother you." Nancy could barely force a smile.

"Above? Is the rumor true, then? Is Dexter Hamilton from Elesby in Pamore?" The director of the anti-corruption department was quite famous.

"Call him Mr. Hamilton," Danzel corrected.

In the car, Grace saw Xander staring out the window absentmindedly.

She asked curiously, "What are you looking at?" He snapped out of his reverie and held her hand. "That woman from yesterday doesn't hold a candle to you." Grace was taken aback. But she soon realized that he was referring to Nancy, the woman Jake brought back, who was alluring.

"Is she really Jake's girlfriend?" "What do you think?" "It doesn't seem like it."

"Why?" Xander looked at her with surprise, asking for clarification.

"Jake may be promiscuous, but deep down, he's not the type to have casual relationships. Even if he does, he wouldn't be tied down by a woman because he only loves himself." Grace spoke earnestly, and Xander smirked. "You understand him well." Grace's heart skipped a beat, and she immediately shook her head. "I have a good eye for people. Don't doubt my judgment." Xander didn't take it to heart. He brushed away the stray strands of hair from her forehead.

It was only now that she realized how close Blossoms Teahouse was to Lewis Manor. It was just two streets away.

On New Year's Day, it was booming with business.

"It should be lively today," Grace muttered as she leaned against the car window. "Are you really going to win the bet?" Xander just glanced at her calmly.
