Chapter 64
Tom chuckled softly and glanced down at the bags he had just taken from me. “Buying all these groceries? Did you just get paid?”
I couldn’t help but smile. “Gavin came to see me tody_”
The smile on Tom’s face froze slightly. “He
I quickly interjected, “He said he agreed to the divorce and asked me to meet him at the courthouse tomorrow morning to finalize it!”
Tom was stunned for a few seconds before a relieved smile spread across his face. “Is that so? That’s wonderful news. Congratulations, Grace, for finally getting what you wanted!”
I nodded with a smile and looked at him gratefully. “I have to thank you. If it weren’t for your help, I wouldn’t have made it this far.”
Tom’s lips curved slightly, showing a faint smile. Leaning closer, he lowered his voice to a teasing whisper near my ear, “With such heartfelt thanks, are you planning to renege on our previous agreement?
The sudden unexpected closeness carried a faint cool, woody fragrance.
“No…” My heart seemed to have skipped a beat, and I couldn’t help but feel that Tom’s move was incredibly seductive. “Once the divorce is finalized, I’ll go to Drisanont with you to meet your grandmother.”
Tom kept staring at me with his intense gaze. It was only when I started to feel a little uneasy that he finally curved his lips and said, “Alright. It’s a deal.”

“Of course!” I answered
Tom chuckled, grinning happily. “Then take it easy for a while. Dinner will be ready soon.”
I had to admit that men with military training were indeed efficient. Before long, a wide spread of dishes was ready on the table.
“Why is it so extravagant?” I asked, surprised
I remembered casually buying some ingredients, but how did he manage to whip up a feast like this?
“Don’t you know what you bought yourself?” Tom chuckled and pulled out a chair for me. “Come, give it a taste.”

Timmediately took a piece of the lemon butter park. The tangy and savory flavor teased my taste buds like a catalyst that activated my appetite “Mmm It’s delicious!”
Since I got pregnant, my food preferences have changed, and I particularly craved sour foods.
“Slow down” Seeing me devour the food, Tom smiled helplessly. “You got the sauce all over your
I instinctively raised my hand to wipe my face, then looked up at him, “Is it still there?” “There,” Torn said while pointing to his left cheek.

your face.”
Tom shook his head with a soft chuckle as if he couldn’t bear it any longer. He leaned forward slightly and used his fingertips to gently rub the spot on my cheek
Tinstinctively turned my head, and my lips brushed against his fingers…
A tingling sensation spread from my lips, and I froze momentarily, feeling a shiver run down my back. “I’m sorry.”
When I looked up, my gaze met his deep, dark eyes…
