“Bring your friends. We can have a barbecue in the yard. My brother can man the grill. He’s pretty good at it.”
Hannah hesitated but eventually agreed, “Sure.”
Elated, Grace ended the call and swayed her legs back and forth from her seat on the rocking chair.
Bryson, busy at his laptop on the sofa, glanced over at Grace when he heard her hang up.
“So, she’s coming?”
‘s
“Absolutely, she adores me.”
Grace sprung from her chair, approached the sofa where Bryson sat, and began massaging his shoulders.
“So, when will you properly pursue Hannah?”
Bryson merely snorted in response.
Grace looked curiously at her brother’s face.
“You do know how to win a woman’s heart, don’t you?”
“Grace.”
The moment Bryson’s word left his lips, Grace immediately ceased her teasing.
“I just remembered I have unfinished homework. I’1l be in my room working on it.”
The following day, after Lunch, Hannah suggested to Lydia, “Let’s go grocery shopping. We need some ingredients.”
Pushing a shopping cart through the supermarket aisles, Lydia questioned Hannah, “Since you and Declan are officially divorced, when are you moving back to your villa in Lee Bay? It would mean we’d be neighbors.”
At that, Hannah realized she hadn’t reclaimed her Lee Bay villa. She casually selected some groceries from the shelf and replied, “The Patel family is still there. I don’t plan on moving back just yet.”

“What?” Lydia’s voice escalated.
“You’re divorced, but Eliana’s family is still living in your villa? What’s your reason?”
A helpless look crossed Hannah’s face.
“Who said I was letting them stay? I simply forgot about the villa until you brought it up. I’ll contact the community security to have them removed, but I’m not keen on living there. It’s far from school compared to my present residence, making my commute inconvenient.”
Lydia frowned, somewhat disappointed.
“I could send a car for you.”
“I don’t need a car.” Hannah grinned, explaining, “The place I’m living now is really nice and close to school. I haven’t considered moving out yet.”
