Chapter 285 Afraid of a Mouse

So there’s only this one left for you, Mr. Fulton.”

After saying this, Vivian took out a room card from her bag. She stared at his profile with a seductive gaze, then handed the room card to Xander.

As she winked, she said, “Mr. Fulton, I’m staying next door. Feel free to come over anytime for some in—depth discussions.” Without waiting for Xander’s response, she swayed her hips and left.

Xander glanced at the room card. Without hesitation, he threw it into the trash. He took out his phone, intending to call Grace. However, Grace had already rushed up with her suitcase.

Seeing Xander, she ignored everything. She disregarded her suitcase and pounced into his arms. With a trembling voice, she said, “Xander, there’s ... there’s a mouse. A big one.”

Her face had turned pale from shock, and her b*dy was shaking.

Upon seeing her look like a shocked kitten, Xander couldn't help but find it amusing. “Well, then. You can stay in my room tonight.”

Grace nodded eagerly, not hesitating for a moment.

Xander comforted her. “It’s just a mouse. Don’t worry.”

Grace whimpered and shook her head. “Not just a mouse. It was a really big one.

As she said, she left his embrace. It was then that she noticed the stark contrast between his

room and hers.

Grace felt like crying.

“Xander, isn’t the difference in treatment too obvious?”

“Fine, I'll give you the master bedroom. I'll sleep on the couch tonight.”

Grace nodded obediently and closed the door. Xander handed her slippers and placed the suitcase in the bedroom.

When Grace sank into the bed, she instantly relaxed.

“Ah, this big bed is so comfortable.” Grace turned over and hugged a pillow. She wished she could never leave the bed. After lying on the bed for a while, she grabbed her pajamas and headed to the bathroom.

By the time she had finished showering, she was already too tired.

Yawning, she came out with a hairdryer in hand. Meanwhile, Xander was still working on his laptop.

Seeing her, he closed the laptop immediately. When he noticed how exhausted she was, he couldn’t help but feel a bit guilty. He took the hairdryer from her hand. “Lie down. I'll blow—dry your hair.”

Grace lay down, her head naturally resting on his thigh. There was no hesitation, as if it were the most ordinary thing. Xander took the hairdryer and slowly dried her hair. By the time he was done drying her hair, she had already entered dreamland.

Xander then unplugged the hairdryer and quietly placed it on the side. He gazed at her sleeping face with a gentle expression. As he leaned forward, he gently k*ssed her forehead.

He whispered, “Good night, Gracie.”

When Grace woke up the next day, the sun was already shining brightly through the window, casting a warm glow in the room. Pulling open the curtains, she was greeted by a beautiful, sunny day.

When she exited the bedroom, Xander had already ordered breakfast from the hotel. Seeing her awake, he pulled her to the bathroom. “Freshen up first, then come for breakfast.”

Looking at herself in the mirror, Grace blinked, gradually coming back to her senses. She remembered showering and blow— drying her hair last night.

But how had she ended up in the bedroom?
