Chapter 658 Returning Home

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

"I know what you should know and what you shouldn't. Some things are too dirty, and they would defile your ears."

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.
