Chapter 170

Following Anders‘ car, the two arrived at a local upscale diner known for its prime rib and cheesecake.

With the grace of an old–school gentleman, Anders opened the car door for Clara, his smile warm and charming. “Clara, my grandparents are eager to meet you. They’ve been waiting here for quite a while.”

Clara didn’t decline. Instead, she offered a light smile, “During my investigation, they were a huge help. I really should pick up a little something to show my gratitude.”

“No need for gifts. Just join them for dinner,” Anders insisted.

Anders‘ grandma immediately took Clara’s hand with a beaming smile, “You must be Clara. Such a beauty! You and our Anders are a match made in heaven.”

Clara greeted them politely, “Ma’am, sir, thank you for your assistance. Please, allow me to treat you to dinner tonight.”
