Chapter 1419: Soulmates
Meanwhile, at a bar and restaurant in the city...
Grace chuckled, her chin resting on the palm of her hand. She was alone at the long table, all of her guests—who had been invited for her fake birthday—had already left. Yet, she had no plans to leave just yet.
"So silly," she whispered to herself, shaking her head as she lifted her margarita to her lips.
As she took a sip, her brows arched upon catching a familiar figure from the corner of her eye. The radar in her head went off, compelling her to shift her gaze toward the figure standing nearby.
Haines.
A small smile formed on her lips as she watched him approach. When he was just a few steps away, she looked up to meet his eyes.
"I told you," she said, a faint giggle in her voice, "you didn’t have to come today."
Haines didn’t answer. He merely sighed as he stared down at her. Her cheeks were rosier than usual, her eyes slightly squinted—clear signs that she had already had a few drinks. And from the looks of it, she had enjoyed tonight more than her last birthday celebration.
"You want a drink?" she asked, tilting her head. "Since you’re here, I wouldn’t mind having company."
"You’ve had enough," he pointed out. "Get up. I’ll take you home."
Grace pouted. "But I still want to drink."
"Then drink at home."
