Chapter 588 I've Brushed My Teeth. Can We Kiss Now?
Almost all night, I was busy and didn't sleep. It was just after dawn when Xavier came over again, lying beside Grace.
Holding Grace, he closed his eyes for a while.
When Grace woke up, she felt a strong force tightly surrounding her, almost making her unable to breathe.
Grace looked at Xavier's sleeping face. She knew that he had secretly gotten up to handle work again last night.
Grace woke up now and didn't move. She wanted Xavier to rest a little longer.
She held her phone and started dealing with many things herself.
Xavier didn't sleep for long before waking up. Seeing Grace holding the phone, he forced his head to squeeze through Grace's hands and pushed Grace's phone aside. Like this, he half-pressed on Grace and wanted to come closer for a kiss.
"I haven't brushed my teeth yet?" Grace's phone was pushed aside by Xavier. Grace looked at this face so close to her.
It was truly flawless, even when brought up close, Xavier's face was impeccable.
Xavier's hand cupped Grace's face, and his cool, thin lips kissed over.
The two of them were entangled, enjoying every moment.
Seeing that things were getting increasingly abnormal, the urge to control the desire was getting stronger. At this moment, Grace's phone rang. While enjoying herself, Grace opened her eyes and pushed Xavier on top of her. "The breakfast is here. Get up and eat quickly."
"I'll go open the door." Xavier got up and went to open the door himself, letting Grace go to wash up.
The breakfast Grace ordered was very rich. After Xavier put it away, he went to the bathroom and saw Grace brushing her teeth. He directly walked behind Grace and reached out to hold her.
His broad palm rested on Grace's abdomen, while feeling the presence of Grace and the baby.
During this period of pregnancy, Xavier knew how difficult it was for pregnant women. They couldn't do anything conveniently, whether sleeping or going to the bathroom, it wasn't so easy.
Even when she was sleeping, she couldn't lie flat.
And in the early stages of pregnancy, there were various nausea and vomiting. Xavier even wished to transfer these pains onto himself.
From now on, he would definitely not let Grace suffer like this anymore. One baby was enough.
"Time to brush your teeth now!" Grace had already squeezed toothpaste for Xavier and when he approached, she directly pushed the toothbrush into Xavier's mouth.
The two of them brushed their teeth one after another. Grace finished first and then quickly washed her face.
When she finished washing up, Xavier had also finished brushing his teeth. She was about to leave when Xavier pulled her back.
The lips directly kissed Grace's lips, pressing against Grace's lips, saying, "Now that you've brushed your teeth, can we kiss?" Before Grace could say anything, Xavier grabbed her and pressed her against the wall. The minty scent spread, and the hot tongue rushed in, completing the kiss that was interrupted by the delivery call earlier.
When they went out, the breakfast outside was getting cold.
After they had a simple meal, Xavier went to the study to answer a call from overseas.
Jared's company was simply a beautifully packaged shell. It looked impressive and respectable, but in reality, it was nothing. It was all an illusion. "Mr. Montgomery, we have attacked several of Jared's businesses and found that they are all like this. We suspect that Jared's assets are not located in these places, but according to the investigation, the companies under Jared's name are only these."
This cunning person, Jared, now seems to have made most of his money from questionable sources. Otherwise, he wouldn't have kept it hidden from the public.
"Check the direction of Jared's assets."
Xavier also knew that Jared's black assets were definitely not so easy to investigate. He arranged more personnel to conduct the investigation.
And the people who were investigating Jared's whereabouts haven't found any news about Jared yet.
There is indeed a record of Jared coming to Oakworth, but after he arrived, he vanished as if he had disappeared from the face of the earth. No one knows where he has gone.
Even Xavier's thorough search didn't find any trace of Jared.
"Keep looking!" Xavier commanded.
The two brothers of the Coleman Family also arrived in Oakworth in the morning.
"When I saw Grace, I was so nervous that I hugged her directly. 'I was so scared.'"
"Steven, Scott, how have you been these past few days? Where's Grandpa? Where's Angela? Are they okay?"
"They are all fine. Don't worry about them. It's you who scared me so much." Scott held Grace for a while.
He also said, "Are you thinner? Did he not take good care of you?"
"I haven't gotten thinner. I've gained several pounds."
"It's better to be fat. If you get any thinner, Grandpa will surely be heartbroken. He keeps talking to you every day, saying he wants to come and see you."
"Then, does Grandpa know about this?"
Scott shook his head. "I didn't dare tell him."
If Chase knew, he would probably be so angry that he would be sent to the hospital.
"Grace, would you like to come with us to Aetheria?" Scott proposed.
Grace said. "Jared has gone into hiding now. Even if we go to Aetheria, he will definitely go too. We don't know what Jared's purpose is. Is he trying to kill me, or is he trying to get something from me?"
"However, if we catch Jared, I really do want to see him in person." She wanted to see if Jared was really her father.
If it was him, why was he so cruel? Why could he kill her mother?
"This cunning man! He is so cunning. Over the years, he has managed to disguise himself so well that he has deceived all of us!"
If they had known earlier, they should have caught Jared and dealt with him. Such a person should be eliminated from the world.
The few big shots gathered together, but unfortunately, Jared hadn't been caught yet.
Just as they were discussing what to do next, the doorbell rang.
Xavier walked to the door, first looking inside from the outside, and then opened the door.
The person who came wasn't anyone else, it was Dorian.
Dorian looked as if he hadn't rested well either, with dark circles under his eyes, and the person following him was Dominic.
"Mr. Astor."
"King Dorian."
Grace and the two brothers of the Coleman Family all spoke at the same time.
Dorian didn't know how to face Grace and the members of the Coleman Family. "You are all here. I... "
Dorian didn't know what to say for a moment. After all, he had let down Grace and the Coleman Family.
Now seeing the members of the Coleman Family, his heart was filled with deep self-reproach.
The Coleman family were the nobles of Aetheria. Although they didn't participate in any politics of Aetheria, they controlled the economy of Aetheria.
Aetheria could be what it is today, without their support, it wouldn't have been possible.
But he had a past with Elizabeth. He couldn't remember anything about it. They had never had any interaction in these years. He felt very sorry for the members of the Coleman Family.
Dominic, who was standing nearby, saw that Dorian was hesitant and didn't know how to express himself.
So he simply said, "That Davi still refuses to say anything. He just claims that he doesn't perform hypnosis and that he hasn't done it either. I also tried it, but using this method, Mr. Astor couldn't recall anything. So I think, if he really forgot about Elizabeth, then looking more at Grace, who looks very similar to her, might help him remember."
