The Millionaire And His Billionaire Ex-Wife

Chapter 249

Mr. Smith patted his shoulder with relief. It wasn’t that he treated his daughter poorly, but he had been scolded and managed by her mother his entire life.

Grace’s personality was very similar to her mother’s, with the same arrogance and recklessness, fearless of anyone or anything.

He didn’t want his daughter to follow in her mother’s footsteps. He hoped she would be obedient, someone to look after her so she wouldn’t take risks or put herself in danger, living a safe and peaceful life.

Eder’s expression grew more contemplative as he left the study, lost in his thoughts about the matter at hand. In the corridor, Grace was waiting for him and immediately sensed that something was amiss. “What did Dad say to you? Why do you look troubled as soon as you came out?”

Deep in thought, Eder tenderly held her hand. “It’s nothing he just told me to take good care of you in the future. Let’s go, it’s getting late.”

The two held hands and got into the car heading back to the Grant family villa.

In the car, Grace noticed his pale lips and his overall complexion not looking too good, feeling a bit worried. “Are you sure you’re not feeling uncomfortable? Should we go back and have a doctor check on you?”

“No need, I’m really fine.” Eder lightly shook his head.

Since that temporary blindness and deafness in the garden, it hadn’t happened again until now. Maybe he was just overthinking

On the other hand, Mr. Smith had presented him with a difficult problem.

If he couldn’t win over the most important future father in law, it would be difficult to proceed with the engagement, regardless of their prior arrangements. But how should he deal with Grace?

Seeing his distracted state, Grace didn’t ask further questions.

The next morning, Eder had to personally attend the monthly staff meeting at the Grant Corporation, while Grace had a meeting at Angle. They left the house together.

Eder had dropped off Grace at the entrance of Angle before heading to the Grant Corporation.

It seemed that Eric had been waiting for him at the door for a while. The lengthy staff meeting finally concluded after three hours.

In the CEOs office, Eric handed Eder the summary materials from the meeting.

Eder took them but became lost in thought, staring blankly at the documents.
