Chapter 73

Ultimately, Oliver abandoned the idea of including Grace in the family meeting. He understood that if the discussion centered on James, she might likely divulge everything to him. Reflecting on Grace's choice to remain brought a faint smile to his lips. Grace's body felt incredibly soft and tender. If they were to move out, he wouldn't have the opportunity to hold her at night. Besides, she had a delightful fragrance that he found irresistible. He had never encountered anyone whose scent captivated him as hers did. It wasn't like expensive perfumes; her natural fragrance touched his heart deeply. Furthermore, Oliver wished for Grace to establish good relations with his family. Moving out due to a conflict didn't imply they would never return. Therefore, it was preferable to address the issues at home first. This period also served as a time for them to adjust to each other. Staying at the Jefferson residence allowed Oliver to avoid many troubles, including encounters with Maya.
