The next day, Grace seemed a bit absent-minded.

Ashley reminded her several times. "Ms. Lewis, Mr. Caleb is on the line. He couldn't reach you and called me."

Grace finally snapped out of her daze and took Ashley's phone.

Caleb's face appeared on the screen. "Gracie, what's going on? You haven't been answering my calls. I was so worried!"

"My phone ran out of battery... What's up, Caleb?" Grace simply made up an excuse.

"Victor is on vacation. He's coming to Pamore to see you. Let's have dinner together tonight."

Grace was delighted. "I haven't seen Victor in a long time. When will he arrive? I'll book a restaurant."

"I'll have someone pick him up." Caleb suspiciously stared at her face. "You look unwell. What happened?"

Grace shook her head vigorously, insisting that she was fine, and hastily hung up the phone.

Having once traveled to Pamore for a man whose name she didn't even know and eventually married Benjamin by a twist of fate had already angered her family.

If she were to tell them now that the man wasn't actually Benjamin, they might be even more furious.

Grace felt somewhat lost, not even knowing how to face this truth herself.

As night fell, the three of them gathered at a famous restaurant.

Given Caleb's special status, Grace had reserved a private room. It was an antique-style place that served barbecue.

When Grace pushed open the door with her coat, Victor was grilling sausage. Caleb enthusiastically suggested, "Grill more. I love sausages."
