The Rewritten Love: A Second Beginning by Max Charming Chapter 1173
Perhaps due to being too exhausted, Blake slept soundly until the next morning. Upon waking up to the alarm, she heard it beep just once before her phone automatically shut down.
She was not in a hurry. The Harper residence was not far away from her office. She got up to freshen up and left her phone charging on the bedside table.
By the time her phone automatically switched on, Blake had already finished freshening up. She then went down for breakfast in her pajamas. She planned to only change her clothes after breakfast.
When the maid carried some medicine and went upstairs, Blake asked, “What is this?”
The maid answered, “This is the herbal medicine for Mr. Harper. He needs to rest in bed, so he isn’t accompanying you for breakfast.”
Blake nodded, “Is he feeling better now?”
“Yes, he can eat now.”
“That’s good.”
Grace walked out of the kitchen holding a plate of cinnamon rolls. ” Blake, you’re awake. Come down and have breakfast.”
Blake had not expected such a hearty breakfast. “There’s so much food; I can’t finish it.”
Grace replied, “Come on, eat more and help me finish it.”
Blake said, “Okay.”
While she was eating her breakfast, Grace suddenly saw a silver car arriving at her house. “Whose car is that?”
Curious, Blake glanced at it and saw the familiar license plate. She was surprised, “Liam?”
The maid quickly went to open the door. Blake hurriedly stood up, and when Liam got out of the car, she walked toward him in her slippers.
“W-Why are you here? Come in.”
Liam said, “I texted you and told you I’d come.”
Blake awkwardly responded, “I’m sorry! My phone ran out of battery and I’m still charging it.”
Grace walked over with a smile, “Is this the Mr. Xander you mentioned last night? Truly talented and young. Would you like to join us for breakfast, Mr. Xander?”
Liam’s complexion today looked good, and his thin lips were red. He smiled slightly as he nodded. “Much appreciated, Mrs. Harper, but I’ve already had breakfast. I’m here to pick Blake up.”
Blake was a little too embarrassed to ask him to leave. She ran her fingers through her hair, still holding a piece of bread in her other hand, and glanced at the half-empty bowl of soup on the table. “Give me ten minutes; I’ll be quick.”
She then ran to the dining table. Grace, watching Blake from behind, shook her head with a smile. “Take your time. No one’s going to take the food away from you.
‘Come on Grace, can’t you read the room?’ Blake thought as she quickly finished drinking the soup and went to change into her work attire, along with the black coat provided by the company. She also grabbed two more pieces of bread before leaving.
Liam opened the front passenger seat door for Blake, and she got into the car.
On the way to the company, Liam suddenly said, “Sorry, Blake. I know this is sudden, but the dinner with my family is happening today.”
