Chapter 658 Returning Home

"Why shouldn't she? I want to know about your past, but you never tell me anything."

Grace sighed and grabbed his hand again. "Xander, I hope that in future you'll tell me about your family, friends, and work."

He looked back, and there was a rather disoriented look in his eyes.
