The Millionaire And His Billionaire Ex-Wife

Chapter 234

Chapter 234
“Yes, yes, I’m sorry. It’s my first time delivering a message, so I hope Mr. Storm and Miss Grace won’t hold it against me. Please don’t blame me.”
Liam, relying on being Jaden’s man, didn’t take the two of them seriously.
Little did he know that Eder didn’t say a word, and Grace directly confronted him. He was taken aback and looked much more respectful towards Eder’s back.
Grace was defending him, and Eder felt pleased. He decided to put on a good face and said, “I’ll be back after fetching water for two hours.”
“Alright.” Before leaving, Liam added, “Miss Grace is your fiancee. If it’s convenient, you can also come back to the ancestral hall together.”
“Mm.” Eder lightly agreed. As soon as the door closed again, he was about to lean his head on Grace’s shoulder, but his cheek was caught by her fingers.
“Hiss! Grace, don’t…” He winced in pain, his facial features scrunching up, but he didn’t dodge.
Grace couldn’t help but laugh and cry. She loosened her grip a little on his face and said, “Okay, Eder, you’re so crafty. You want me to play the villain while you act like the good guy?”
“No, it’s that you were protecting me, and I’m happy about it.”
Only then did Grace let go. She gently rubbed his slightly reddened face with her thumb.
Eder enjoyed her affectionate gestures.
Thinking of Xian’s matter, he immediately put on a serious expression. “Grace, later I’ll take you back to the Smith family, but you don’t need to go to the Grant family’s ancestral hall.”
“Why not?” Grace’s tone was indifferent. “I’m your fiancee, and the whole internet knows about it. Besides, it was indeed me who caused trouble last night. I have no reason not to be present. Although the Grant family’s ancestral hall can’t do anything to me, I just want to see the commotion.” Eder indulgently brushed her nose with his finger. “Alright, since you want to go, let’s go together.” After fetching water, Grace helped him change into a shirt and then a suit.
The marks of their passionate kisses all over his body were too conspicuous, especially the ones on his neck that couldn’t be covered up, making him look like he had been bullied.
Grace regretted it a bit. If she had known, she should have restrained herself a bit more and been gentler!
She found a scarf and wanted to wrap it around Eder’s neck.
Eder was quite surprised. “Grace, it’s almost the beginning of summer, and you want to give me a
woolen scar(?”
“Don’t worry, you just had surgery, and you should have been resting for a few days. But because of Xian’s incident, you had to come back. So, I thought it would be better to wrap it thicker and keep you from catching a cold.”
“Alright.” Eder compromised and let her wrap the scarf around his neck. He put on leather gloves and bundled up tightly.
Hand in hand, the two of them went to the Grant family together.

In the ancestral hall, everyone sat in their designated seats, including Jaden, Brad, and Abigail Grant. Except for Eder’s aunt Angelina and Xian, all the other family members were present.

Since Eder hadn’t arrived yet, no one spoke in the entire hall.
The plaques on the wall commemorated the deceased elders of the Grant family, and the candlelight flickered, accompanied by eerie gusts of wind.
The atmosphere was strangely quiet.
Mr. Grant, sitting in the main seat, had a somber expression as he silently sipped his tea.
Eder and Grace walked in hand in hand, as if no one else was present.
As soon as he entered, apart from Mr. Grant, all the relatives stood up and respectfully greeted, “Mr. Storm.”
Eder nodded, and the others sat down.
“Grandfather.”
“Hello, Grandpa.”
The two of them greeted Mr. Grant in unison.
Grace’s voice was sweet, and it made Mr. Grant feel content.
Especially when he saw them entering while holding hands, Grandpa couldn’t help but glance at his grandson
“Good boy! Just two days ago, he was causing trouble about breaking off the engagement, and now he has settled everything.”
He truly is his proudest grandson!
“Good child, Grandpa is fine. Come, have a seat quickly, don’t stand.”
They both took their seats and Eder solemnly began to inquire, “Uncle, why did you urgently call me back? What has happened?”
Jaden stood up, first bowing slightly to the old man, before speaking:
“Last night, in the late hours, someone bypa ssed the surveillance and secretly climbed over the wall into Xian’s villa. They knocked out the bodyguards and attacked Xian. The methods used were extremely vicious. If it weren’t for a bodyguard waking up in advance and saving the bloodied Xian, he would already be dead!”
As he spoke, he glared at Grace, who appeared indifferent.
After hearing this, Eder showed no expression. “Where is my cousin?”
“He’s severely injured, still unconscious. But when the bodyguard saved him last night, he was still conscious. He said the person who attacked him was Miss Grace, your fiancee, along with a subordinate from your side.”
Jaden looked pained, tears welling up in his eyes as he turned to his father. “Dad, I came here today to seek justice. Can Eder, as the successor of the Grant family, do whatever he wants and casually harm his own flesh and blood?”
Eder’s face was cold and arrogant, filled with weariness.
He was about to stand up and speak when suddenly his face turned pale, a pained expression crossing his eyebrows. Instinctively, he covered the injury on his chest.
Grace reached out to support him. “What’s wrong?”
With a pale face, he looked at her and whispered, “The wound… It’s been aggravated.”
Last night was so intense, yet he wasn’t in this much pain. Why is he complaining now?
Chapter 234
Grace understood what he was planning and gazed at him with gentle eyes. “You just had surgery and your body is still weak. Speak less, let me handle it.”
Jaden was displeased. “Miss Grace, you are not a member of the Grant family. If you were here to observe, it would be acceptable, but participating in our family’s affairs and expressing your opinion seems inappropriate.”
Grace completely ignored him, stood up, and faced Grandpa, her voice gentle:
“Grandpa, I am Eder’s fiancee, so naturally I count as half of the Grant family. Eder is severely injured and shouldn’t speak much. I did indeed have some involvement in last night’s events, will speak on his behalf. Is that acceptable?”
The mention of being “half of the Grant family” delighted Grandpa.
