Chapter 658 Returning Home

However, Grace became agitated. She took his hand.

"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."

Xander rolled the window down slightly and looked outside.

"We're lovers. Do we need to withhold anything from each other?" Grace looked at his silhouette.

"No matter what it is, as long as it's related to you, I would never find it dirty."

Her voice seemed to pierce right through Xander's heart, and he frowned.

"I like Hazel telling me these things, because I can see a different Xander. You underestimate me. I know what the world is like, and I'm not as sheltered as you think I am." 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.

He hadn't expected Grace to be so magnanimous and accepting. Perhaps it was because he had always seen her as someone who was out of his reach.

Now, it surprised him to find that she was willing to try and understand him.
