Chapter 451 I Did It on Purpose
Angela didn't seem to see Xavier, so Grace quickly followed behind her.
There was no Xavier in the room, but Grace didn't feel relieved. Watching Angela open her wardrobe, Grace stopped her, "Angela, I'm not cold. I don't need another layer."
Grace wasn't sure if Xavier was hiding in the wardrobe. It would be quite awkward if he appeared when it was opened.
"It's better to have an extra one just in case. You're not alone now, and I need to ensure your safety when I take you out."
With that, Angela opened the wardrobe.
Grace braced herself, but Angela naturally took out some clothes. "Grace, what's wrong? You look strange."
There was no one in the wardrobe, and Grace breathed a sigh of relief.
Luckily, Xavier didn't follow the usual logic and wasn't hiding in the wardrobe.
"Let's go quickly, or we'll be late."
Angela said, "No need to rush."
Just as Grace was pulling Angela to leave, they heard the sound of a door opening from the bathroom.
Xavier came out directly, even wrapped in a towel after a shower. Both Grace and Angela were stunned.
"Grace, you really hid a man here? But why is it him? Why is that annoying Xavier here?"
Grace held her forehead. She didn't know what Xavier was doing, and Angela's comment wasn't appropriate in front of Xavier.
"Did you two stay together last night? What happened between you two? Don't tell me you..."
While Angela was still in shock, Xavier said, "Everything happened."
"Grace, did you forgive that jerk, Xavier?"
Xavier coming out like this, freshly showered, made Grace feel like he did it on purpose.
"No, it's too complicated to explain now. I'll tell you slowly later."
Grace pushed Angela out, planning to deal with Xavier later.
"Did he force you? Did he do something to you again? Grace, don't stop me. I must scold him today. How could you treat Grace like this? I trusted you with my best friend because I thought you were reliable and could make her happy."
"But what about you? Do you know how heartbroken Grace was? Do you know what she went through during this time?"
Xavier didn't know, but he could imagine.
Grace wasn't the type to be weak or share her troubles. Even if she were hurt, she would pretend everything was fine on the surface, not wanting anyone to worry. But in reality, she would be quietly heartbroken in the middle of the night.
During that time, Grace must have just found out she was pregnant, making it even harder for her.
"We may not be as capable or wealthy as you, but Grace didn't provoke you, did she? Do you have to be so aggressive, chasing after her? Can't we avoid you? This is a small town, and we can't accommodate someone as powerful as you!"
Angela really didn't like Xavier now. What good was his handsome face if he acted like this?
Xavier walked over and stood next to Grace. "I've already explained everything to Grace. I was wrong before, but now I'm pursuing her again."
"Get lost. Who are you to call her Grace? Besides, Grace doesn't lack suitors. Many people like her because she's so outstanding."
Xavier said, "I'll wait in line."
Angela felt that Xavier wasn't waiting in line; he was cutting in line!
"Alright, weren't you two going out? Angela, let's go quickly."
Angela said, "Grace, don't be fooled by him. Men are all smooth talkers and can't be trusted. I'll wait for you downstairs. You deal with him quickly!"
After saying that, Angela went downstairs first. Grace felt frustrated. She had promised not to fall for the same man again.
Although Angela supported Grace in finding a man, she didn't mean Xavier!
Grace looked at Xavier, who confessed first, "I did it on purpose."
Grace was silent.
Xavier dared to admit it. Wasn't he afraid she'd get angry?
Xavier said, "She's your best friend, and I'm your future boyfriend. I think she needs to know about my existence and get used to it."
"You're not my..."
Before Grace could get angry, Xavier pulled her into his arms. "Go have fun. I'll pick you up in the afternoon."
"I don't need you to pick me up!"
Xavier stroked Grace's hair, his low laughter right by her ear. "If you don't go, you'll have to stay home with me."
"I'll deal with you when I get back!"
Downstairs, Grace got into the car, and Angela was angry. "Grace, did you forgive that jerk so easily? Did he trick you again?"
Grace said, "I haven't forgiven him."
"Then why is he staying at your place? He even took a shower. Did you two sleep together last night? Does he know about the baby?"
"He didn't stay at my place, and we didn't sleep together last night. But he did make breakfast."
Angela was silent.
She had even said the breakfast was delicious. Now she took it back!
The breakfast wasn't good at all. It was terrible!
"You lied to me, saying those dishes were Scott's."
"I'm sorry." Grace's head hung lower and lower. It was indeed her fault.
"Fine, I'll forgive you."
"Thank you, Angela. I know you're worried about me being tricked by him again. Don't worry; I'm not that easy to fool now. Let's not talk about him. Let's go have fun."
"Okay, I heard there's a beautiful forest on the outskirts!"
Angela started the car and headed to their destination.
They didn't notice a car following them. Xavier was secretly following Grace and Angela and he wasn't comfortable with them going out alone.
Only when Grace was within his sight did Xavier feel at ease.
He followed them quietly, making sure they didn't notice.
The forest was indeed beautiful, with flowers blooming on the trees, full of spring vibes.
Falling petals formed a rain of flowers, and Grace looked like a fairy among the flowers, beautiful and lively.
Xavier couldn't help but take out his phone and secretly take many photos. Each one was so beautiful, and these were Xavier's treasured possessions.
Grace and Angela played all day. Although they were happy, they were also a bit tired.
Angela safely sent her back, but she was still worried that Xavier might be there.
"He shouldn't be. He must have left by now. You should go home, Angela."
"Alright, if anything happens, call me."
Grace wasn't sure if Xavier was still there. She entered the password and opened the door, only to see Xavier sitting on the sofa.
"Why are you still here?" Did Xavier stay here all day?
Xavier, who had returned earlier than Grace, said, "You said you'd deal with me when you got back. So, what do you want to say?"
