Chapter 486 You Didn't Write That I'm Not Welcome
Grace left, and Tristan sat there, watching the images on the TV.
The Lucius on TV was full of charm, his body covered in scars, yet exuding a rugged handsomeness.
Lucius played an undercover agent in this film, showcasing all the endurance and hardships, making years of anonymity deeply moving.
Tristan watched, not so much to learn, but because whenever he felt lost or doubted himself, he liked to watch Lucius's movies.
He saw Lucius as a role model, constantly motivating himself.
He didn't know how long he had been watching when the doorbell rang.
Tristan couldn't guess who it was. Could it be that Grace left something behind?
He hobbled over to open the door, and the moment he opened it, he was stunned.
"Lucius!"
His eyes were filled with excitement; he hadn't expected it to be Lucius.
But Tristan's face quickly dimmed; he knew Lucius didn't like being called so intimately.
"Did Mom ask you to check on me?" Tristan asked tentatively.
He didn't even know when Lucius had returned to Skigeth. Although their family lived in Skigeth, Lucius rarely came back. Since school days, he seldom returned home.
"Are you badly hurt?" Lucius brought some things over.
"It's all rumors; I'm not badly hurt."
Tristan followed behind him like an obedient pet.
The TV was still on, and Tristan quickly jumped over to turn it off, then sneaked a glance at Lucius's expression. Clearly, he had seen himself on the screen.
"Is this an old film?" Lucius asked.
Tristan said, "I was just watching it out of boredom. Do you want to sit for a while? Do you want some water? I'll get it for you!"
"No need to trouble yourself."
Tristan pinched the hem of his shirt, not daring to look at Lucius.
When Lucius was on TV, he could watch him freely, but when Lucius was in front of him, he didn't dare to look.
Lucius was such an outstanding brother, like an unattainable sun, that Tristan could only silently look up to him and fantasize about the day he could stand as tall as him.
But in this world, there is only one sun; no matter how big other planets are, they can only be its backdrop.
"Is there no one to take care of you when you're injured?"
"It's just a minor injury; I can handle it myself. Besides, I'm about to join the crew soon. But how did you know I live here?"
He thought Lucius wouldn't know. Lucius disliked him so much; how could he care about his situation?
What he didn't know was that Lucius had always known where he lived.
"I heard about it."
Tristan couldn't find a topic to talk about.
Lucius just came to check on him. When he heard from Grace that Tristan was seriously injured, Lucius was a bit worried.
Seeing that he was fine, Lucius felt relieved.
Previously, Xavier had rushed back urgently upon hearing about Grace's accident, even though he hadn't finished his business in Oakworth.
So, in the next few days, he might have to go to Oakworth again.
But before that, Xavier had something important to do.
Xavier invited Grace to go out and play. Grace said, "But I'm very busy; I have a lot of work."
"Work is never-ending," Xavier said.
This sentence seemed familiar, as if someone had told Xavier countless times. He never thought he would say it one day.
Seeing Grace's hesitation, he said sadly, "So, I'm not as important as work."
Grace said, "That's not the same thing."
Xavier used to work overtime every day.
"So, when and where do you want to go?"
"To the sea, is that okay?"
"The sea? Sure," Grace agreed.
She actually loved the sea very much. The blue sea was beautiful, especially when it reflected the blue sky and white clouds.
"How about this weekend?" Xavier also had time to prepare.
"Okay," Grace agreed.
Xavier couldn't hide his smile. He found time to meet with Colin and Victor.
"So, did Grace agree?" Colin seemed more anxious than Xavier.
"Yes."
"Then we can start planning. Xavier, I guarantee this proposal will be spectacular!"
Victor, as the strongest support, naturally took the lead.
Knowing that Xavier wanted to propose, they all started giving ideas.
They all turned into excellent planners, suggesting various ideas. Of course, Xavier didn't adopt any of them in the end because he had his own ideas.
"Just don't mess things up."
"How can you call this messing up? I'm definitely helping you," Victor said.
Xavier had his own thoughts. Although he might still be in the trial period as Grace's boyfriend, it didn't stop him from proposing.
He wanted to marry Grace as soon as possible. Otherwise, if Grace's belly grew, it would be difficult to hold a wedding.
Although it wouldn't be too late to have a wedding after Grace gave birth, he wanted to get married and register first.
Of course, Xavier thought it would be best to have the wedding before the baby was born, so he didn't have much time left.
Planning a wedding actually takes time, and Xavier thought he could start planning now.
If Grace liked Skigeth, they would hold it in Skigeth. If she liked Oakworth, they would go to Oakworth. If she wanted it in Aetheria, they could do it in Aetheria. If she wanted weddings in all these places, they would hold them in all these places.
Xavier didn't want to hire a wedding planning company; he wanted to handle everything himself, even if it meant being busier.
They chatted for a while, and then Xavier raised his glass, "Let's toast, and then I have to go back."
Victor said, "You never used to be so family-oriented, and this is just water. What's there to toast?"
That's right; they had all started focusing on health.
Now, instead of going to bars, they met in coffee shops or quiet places to cultivate their minds.
Because of Xavier, he felt his soul had been purified, and he felt his spirit was incredibly noble.
After the meeting, Xavier made a few more calls to ensure everything was in order.
Grace felt that Xavier had been acting sneaky lately, not knowing what he was up to, being all mysterious.
But Xavier had his own matters, and she had hers, so she didn't ask much.
She hadn't seen Sterling for several days and didn't expect him to come to her office.
"What are you doing here?"
"I walked in openly; your door doesn't say I'm not welcome," Sterling said casually.
He acted as if he were at home, sitting there with his legs crossed, looking very relaxed.
Grace was silent.
He was lucky not to run into Xavier at the door; otherwise, Sterling might not have gotten in so easily.
