Chapter 349 Playful Foes
After looking Noelle up and down, Timothy teased, “Really? You don’t look like it at all.”
Noelle stomped her foot in anger, but he seemed indifferent and even stuck his tongue out at her.
This completely irritated Noelle. “You old man in your 30s!”
Timothy objected, “Who’s in their 30s? Correct yourself.”
Noelle, who had just scored a point, stuck her tongue out at him and then pulled Grace inside.
Annoyed, Timothy hurriedly followed
“Girl, open your eyes and take a good look. How do I look like I’m in my 30s?”
The two continued to argue, refusing to give in to each other.
Watching these two bickering, Grace couldn’t help but find them amusing. Somehow, they seemed cute
together.
Just as she was lost in thought, Hestia’s voice suddenly rang
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtGracie!”
This time, Grace was surprised. “Aunt Hestia, you’re here too?”
Anthony, who appeared with her, quickly explained, “Hestia and I have been good friends for years.”
Hestia continued, “That’s right. Anthony said it’s all thanks to you that Noelle was able to return safely.
If it hadn’t been for you, she might have caused even bigger trouble.”
“Yeah. My daughter is so stubborn, but I can see she trusts you. I
I
“I will, Mr. Jackson.”
After exchanging pleasantries, Hestia pulled Grace aside and asked in a low voice, “Gracie, how have
you been with Xander lately? Why didn’t I see you both coming together?”
Awkwardly, Grace explained, “I came back to Frenda in a hurry, so I didn’t get a chance to inform him.”
Hestia was getting a bit anxious. These two young people had been together for so long, but there
seemed to be no sparks flying between
them.
Although she already considered Grace her daughter-in-law, it
required mutual feelings. What if this excellent daughter-in-law was snatched away?
No, she had to do something about it.
Hestia changed the subject hastily and said, “Gracie, I need to trouble you with something.”
“What is it, Aunt Hestia?”
Hestia quickly explained, “Well, your Uncle Raymond and I are considering a trip overseas. But
Xander’s birthday is coming up.
“We really don’t have time to celebrate with him. Can you do me a favor and celebrate his birthday with
him?”
“Xander’s birthday?”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmGrace calculated the dates and realized Hestia was right.
She remembered Xander’s birthday was on June 18th, and today was
June 15th.
“Is it okay, Gracie?” Hestia looked at Grace expectantly.
The latter thought about her plans before nodding. “Okay, Aunt Hestia.
Hearing that, Hestia was very relieved. She had decided that she would step up her efforts to bring the
two together on Xander’s birthday.
Who knew? It might just work out.
At this thought, she smiled brightly. Meanwhile, Grace was pondering what gift would be suitable for
Xander’s birthday.
After the banquet, Grace returned from home and wasted no time. She had the housekeepers pack her
things, and she took a private plane back to Pamore that night.
She bombarded the WhatsApp group with her friends with several messages at 2:00 am.
Gracie: “Girls, do you have any recommendations for a good birthday gift?”
