Chapter 432 Xavier Disguises as a Servant to Infiltrate the Coleman Mansion
Dorian felt like he had seen this face somewhere before.
It seemed a bit familiar, but he couldn't recall it.
And the scent filling the room, was also a familiar fragrance.
Dorian stared at Grace. Seeing this, Jane quickly stepped in to block his view.
"Since you're here to pick me up, let's go now," Jane said with a stiff smile.
"Jane, but Grace's perfume isn't ready yet. How about you wait until it's done and then take it with you?" Robert suggested.
"No, I'll have someone come pick it up tomorrow," Jane said, pulling Dorian along, looking a bit anxious.
However, Dorian, wasn't in a hurry. "It's okay, I can wait for you."
"No, I'm done here. Let's go," Jane said, leading Dorian out.
Dorian didn't say anything, and his gaze lingered on Grace's face for a moment longer.
It was as if a shadow flashed through his mind, but he couldn't catch it.
"Why did you think of picking me up today? You usually don't treat me this well," Jane said after they left.
But Dorian seemed lost in thought and didn't respond.
Jane called his name, bringing Dorian back to his senses. "I just happened to be free, so I came. I haven't accompanied you since you came to see Robert; it wouldn't be good if they started speculating about anything.."
A flicker of something passed through Jane's eyes, but she didn't show it.
That incident had happened so long ago. All these years, Dorian had never thought of that woman. He surely wouldn't remember her now.
Grace looked outside the door. "Just as the rumors say, the King and Queen seem quite in love."
They were an internationally renowned couple. All the news online portrays them as deeply in love.
Robert said, "You're alright, the King is genuinely good to Jane."
Grace nodded. "Yes, the King seems like a good person."
Robert said, "Not necessarily. He's actually quite difficult to get along with. Maybe it's because of his status. He's pretty indifferent to everyone, but it's understandable."
"Really? I think he looks quite handsome and young," Grace said, Dorian's face flashing in her mind. She thought Dorian seemed quite nice, yet given his lofty status, she wouldn't have any interaction with him.
"Of course, just a bit less than me," Robert said confidently.
Grace scoffed.
She was serious; Dorian was really handsome, especially in person, where his looked surpass even those in the videos.
Robert said discontentedly, "What do you mean by that? Are you looking down on me?"
"Of course not. You're not bad either. I'm sure you have countless admirers," Grace flattered.
"That's right," Robert said confidently.
"Do you have a boyfriend?" Robert asked, looking at Grace. With her good personality and easy-going nature, she should have suitors.
Grace paused. "We broke up."
"What? Why?"Robert was doubtful.
"Mr. York, since when are you so curious?" Grace continued working.
Robert said, "He must have had no taste."
Grace laughed. "I think you're right."
As they chatted, Grace continued making perfume, meticulously controlling the proportions. Robert watched her serious expression. In fact, viewed this way, Grace wasn't unattractive at all; rather, she possessed a unique kind of beauty..
He had seen many women from Country C, all very beautiful, but none had Grace's unique aura.
Xavier's plane had also arrived in Country E. He had already found out the address of The Coleman Mansion and headed there immediately.
However, entering into The Coleman Mansion wasn't easy. Xavier knew that the Coleman family wouldn't let him in if they saw him.
Therefore, Xavier disguised himself as a servant of the Coleman family and sneaked in.
Although New Year's Eve in Country E was different from Country C, the Coleman family was from Country C. They decorated the house for the occasion.
Xavier saw all the members of the Coleman family, except for Grace.
Was Grace feeling unwell from the long flight and resting in her room?
However, Xavier didn't know which room Grace was in, and it wasn't easy for him to sneak upstairs.
Wearing work clothes and a hat pulled low, Xavier was about to go upstairs when Scott, who was busy, noticed him.
"You," Scott called out.
Xavier paused. Had he been discovered?
He lowered his head further, pulling the hat down more. Scott said, "Yes, you. Come help me move this upstairs. This sofa needs to be replaced to Grace' room to ensure that Grace can stay more comfortably."
Xavier was delighted. Would he be able to see Grace this way?
Xavier went to move the heavy item, happy to do so.
"Wait," Scott called out again, and everyone stopped. Xavier kept his head down.
Scott circled Xavier twice. "Why do you look so suspicious, like you're hiding something?"
Xavier remained silent.
Scott said, "Lift your head and let me see."
Naturally, Xavier was unwilling. Although his face hadn't healed, Scott would recognize him immediately.
Xavier didn't move, while Thomas walked over. "What's going on? I've been hearing your noisy voice all day."
"Thomas, I think this guy is suspicious. He's wearing a hat and won't show his face!"
Thomas looked at the man, feeling a sense of familiarity.
He tentatively called out, "Xavier?" He thought this guy's figure looked a lot like Xavier.
Scott moved closer and saw Xavier's face. "Fuck, it truly is you!"
"Someone, get him out of here!" Scott rolled up his sleeves.
He asked angerily, "What are you doing here? How shameless are you to sneak in like this? What do you want with Grace?"
"I don't want to do anything. I just want to see Grace," Xavier said, dropping the pretense since he had been discovered.
"Are you kidding? You think you can just see Grace whenever you want?" Scott sneered.
"I just want to say a few words to her. Even if she doesn't want to see me, shouldn't we ask her first?" Xavier requested.
Xavier was desperate to see Grace, more than ever before.
Scott continued, "Give it up. She won't see you. Coming here like this won't make her pity you. Besides, Grace isn't even home. Now get out!"
