Chapter 275 I Want You to Stay
One side of the dining table was against the wall, so Grace and Xavier ate on the same side.
Grace served some soup and pushed it in front of Xavier. "Try this."
Xavier took a sip of the soup and immediately noticed its richness, with the chicken exceptionally fresh. Normally not particularly concerned about food as long as it was palatable, Xavier would eat a lot whenever Grace cooked.
Grace had brought two sets of utensils, but she hadn't even started eating yet.
"How many people have you cooked for?" Xavier asked.
Grace replied, "What? Not many. I'm usually so busy that I don't have much time to cook."
Grace usually just cooked for herself, making simple meals because takeout was really not that good.
She didn't have many friends either. Besides Angela, no one else would come over to her place for a meal.
So, she realized that the only person she had ever cooked for was Xavier.
Grace said, "My cooking skills are pretty average, definitely not as good as a professional chef's."
Xavier said, "It's really good."
Grace asked, "Really?"
Xavier heard a burst of laughter and looked up to see Grace's smiling eyes.
Her eyes seemed to sparkle, merely gazing at her could infuse him with her profound joy.
Seeing Grace smile, Xavier felt his heart warm up, as if the bright sunlight had lit up the world.
"Yeah.Hurry up and eat. Finish early and get some rest. Don't stay up late." Grace picked up some food and put it in Xavier's bowl.
Xavier ate and also picked up some food for Grace. "Try this."
But instead of putting it in Grace's bowl, he brought it directly to her mouth.
Grace asked, "What's wrong with this? Is it not good?"
"Try it." Xavier moved the utensils.
Grace looked at the food in front of her. Was Xavier trying to feed her? And those utensils, weren't they the ones Xavier had used?
She wasn't sure if she was misunderstanding, and she flushed involuntarily.
Grace looked away and used her own utensils to pick up the food and put it in her mouth. It tasted just normal.
"What's wrong with this dish?" Grace asked with puzzled expression.
Rather than taking back his utensils, Xavier asked, "What, you don't like my utensils?"
Grace mimicked a joking tone."Yeah, you didn't wash them, so I don't like them."
Xavier said, "Say that again?"
"People care about hygiene when they're out, and I have my own utensils, I..." Grace hadn't finished her sentence when she widened her eyes, looking at Xavier's face so close to hers.
Xavier's hand was still around her neck. Xavier actually kissed her at this moment! The kiss wasn't deep, but Grace was completely stunned.
Xavier used his actions to prove that he didn't mind Grace at all. After the kiss, Xavier said, "Even if you mind, it doesn't matter. It's not the first time, and there might be more in the future."
Grace's earlobes turned very red. What did Xavier mean?
Xavier wanted to say something, but as soon as he opened his mouth, Grace picked up some food and put it directly in Xavier's mouth, blocking his words.
Grace said, "Hurry up and eat. Finish early and get some rest. I need to go back."
"You're going back?" Xavier thought Grace would stay.
"What, you want me to stay?" Grace asked.
Xavier replied, "If I let you stay, will you stay?"
Grace said, "You say it first, and I'll consider it."
"I want you to stay," Xavier said without any hesitation.
Maybe sick people became more vulnerable and didn't like being alone in the hospital, hoping someone would stay with them.
Maybe it was because Xavier was sick, otherwise, it wasn't like him to say such things.
During Ryan's illness, the entire Montgomery family gathered around him, and Amy practically lived in the hospital to provide constant support and companionship. However, no one came to visit Xavier during his time of need.
If Xavier's mom were still alive, she might also feel sorry for him and stay by his side.
"Okay." Grace nodded. "I'll stay, but let me make it clear; I'll sleep on the couch over there."
Ryan was in a more luxurious ward upstairs and heard that Grace went into Xavier's ward and hadn't come out.
What did Grace mean by this? Grace and Xavier, wanted to stay in the same room?
Ryan scolded, "Shameless! Grace is so lowly. Does she want everyone to know her intentions? Why didn't anyone else go to take care of Xavier, only Grace did! And she won't leave. Grace is really shameless!"
Amy said, "Alright, why are you still thinking about Grace? Now that things are like this, you can only marry Kelly, let her have the baby, and then kick her out."
"Even if I marry Kelly, I won't let her off!" Ryan's eyes were full of hatred. After all, erectile dysfunction was a lifelong issue for a man.
Thinking about Grace and Xavier living together, who knew if they would have sex? Ryan felt resentful.
He picked up his phone and called Stephanie.
Stephanie answered, and Ryan said directly, " Grace is staying in Xavier's room tonight. The Xavier you can't have is about to be with Grace."
Stephanie didn't say anything and hung up on Ryan directly.
A servant stood at the door, still holding a tray of food. It was evident that they had been standing in that position for quite some time without having the opportunity to set the tray down.
The servant said, "Ms. Park, you haven't eaten all day. Please eat something, or Mr. Park will be worried."
"Get out!" Stephanie pushed hard, and the food spilled on the floor, staining both of them.
Stephanie went downstairs and found Joseph. "Grandpa, I want to go to Skigeth. I must go to Skigeth!"
Stephanie had never been so panicked. If she didn't go there, Xavier would become Grace's boyfriend! And Grace was an ugly woman!
Stephanie had never taken Grace seriously, considering her to be unattractive.. She had been so nice to Grace, never bullied her, and even treated her as a friend.
However, Grace ended up stealing her boyfriend.
"Stephanie, although you're enthusiastic towards Xavier, it doesn't mean Xavier will like you," Joseph said earnestly.
Stephanie was stubborn. "I don't care. If you don't let me go, I won't eat. If you don't love me and won't let me pursue happiness, then let me starve to death. That way, I can see my parents in heaven and tell them how unhappy I was living with you!"
