After separating from Grey, Grace made her move—shopping with Dalia and Claire.
Smart strategy, really. If she truly ended up marrying Grey down the road, managing relationships with his mother and sister would be crucial.
Grace deliberately chose a cosmetics chain under the Bennett family's ownership. "Pick out whatever catches your eye," she offered generously. "Everything's on me."
Compared to what she'd already gained from Grey, these beauty products were pocket change.
"Grace, how thoughtful of you," Claire gushed immediately.
"Absolutely. You're so much better than Evelin. I'd be thrilled to have you as my daughter-in-law," Dalia chimed in. In that moment, she conveniently forgot three years of Evelin driving her to medical appointments and handling every errand.
Grace's expression turned wistful. "I'd love a future mother-in-law like you. Unfortunately, when I came home and reconnected with Grey, he was already taken."
