IN THE LAP OF LUXURY BY UNSWEETENED CHESTNUTS - Season 3 Episode 10

Ignoring Sherry, Grace took out her card.

But as she was about to hand it over to the staff, Xander took a step ahead and said, “Use this

one.”

Grace quickly refused. “No, Xan. Just use mine.‘

Yet he smiled and replied, “You don’t need to be so polite with me. Consider this dress a gift from me,

wishing for your career to flourish and for your fashion show to be a massive

success.‘

“What?” Grace was surprised.

She wanted to say something, but Xander didn’t give her a chance to refuse. He handed the

card to the staff.

Just like that, he spent 20 million dollars for the floral–themed b*dycon dress.

Grace hesitated, feeling that Xander was being too good to her.

The staff packed the b*dycon dress and placed it in front of Grace.

What had been merely stunning on the stage was now mesmerizing in person. Grace couldn’t take her
eyes off it.

Each stitch and thread was so unique, and the craftsmanship had a vintage charm. It was truly a piece

of art.

Such a beautiful b*dycon dress was hard not to love.

“Thank you, Xan.”

Xander reached out and ruffled her hair. “I’m glad, as long as you like it.”

The obvious affection in his eyes made Benjamin, who wasn’t far away, burn with anger.

“Grace!” Benjamin walked forward and stopped in front of them.

His gaze inadvertently caught sight of the b*dycon dress in her hand.

When Grace saw him, the smile on her face disappeared instantly.

“Yes, Mr. Hawkins?”

As Benjamin noticed her distant behavior–a stark contrast to her attitude toward Xander–he became

jealous.

“Aren’t you a bit thoughtless to accept a gift worth 20 million dollars?”

His question made her speechless.

“Does it have anything to do with you?”

Benjamin continued, “When a man is willing to spend so much money on a woman, he surely has

ulterior motives. Grace, you should be careful not to be deceived.”

Hearing that, Xander shielded Grace and responded bluntly, “Mr. Hawkins, are you implying

something?”

“You know what I’m implying.” Benjamin wasn’t going to back down.

Their eyes met, and the tension between the two men was palpable. Neither of them was willing to

yield.

Suddenly, Grace chuckled.

“Mr. Hawkins, this is none of your concern. Or have you forgotten that we no longer have any

relations?”

“Grace, are you just going to move on so quickly from our three–year relationship?”

At those words, Grace’s eyes darkened.

In his eyes, it seemed like the chaotic three years were all they had had.

He appeared to have forgotten all the things they had been through. He had no idea why she had been

so determined to marry him in the first place.

“Mr. Hawkins, people look forward. The past is the past. Why should we bring it up?”

“But I can’t forget!”

Hearing that, Grace smiled.

Back when she had been wholeheartedly dedicated to him, Benjamin had turned a blind eye to her.

Now that she didn’t want him anymore, he was suddenly showing her such deep affection.



If this had happened before their divorce, she might have believed his words.

But now, she just let out a relieved smile and said, “Then, I hope you’ll move on soon, Mr.

Hawkins.”

Benjamin’s heart skipped a beat at her words.

He realized there were things he could no longer grasp. “Grace, must it be this way?”

“It has been this way for a long time, hasn’t it?”

Grace’s stance was crystal clear. She left no room for doubt.

Benjamin felt like his heart had been pricked with a needle, making it ache.
