Chapter 491
After the Ashley incident, Gracie's grudge against Maximus ran as deep as their previous fondness for each other. But disappointment was the stronger emotion.
Upon encountering Maximus up close again, Gracie was filled with conflict.
She could never understand why Ashley could forgive Brook and Maximus so easily.
But now, it seemed she had some grasp of the reason.
Time had passed, and they were no longer young.
There was no point in dwelling on the past when they had all grown old.
Once the unrivaled movie star, Maximus now had crow's feet to show for it.
This saddened Gracie a little.
After taking a group photo, she returned her phone to Stephanie with mixed feelings.
Stephanie then pushed her towards Maximus, "Gracie, your turn! Let me snap a pic of you two!"
Gracie ended up in Maximus's arms with that push, and he caught her almost instinctively.
This brief physical contact made the two, once very familiar with each other, change their expressions.
They quickly took a step back from each other, maintaining a distance.
"Why should I take a picture with him? I'm not his fan."
Upon hearing Gracie's words, Ashley teased, "Who was it that first fell for Maximus and constantly discussed how to approach him with me?"
Hearing this, Maximus was taken aback.
He remembered it was he who pursued Gracie first.
Hearing Ashley's words, Gracie was so angry that she stomped her foot.
She glared at Ashley while Ashley laughed loudly: "Why are you blushing? Maximus, Gracie was the first to have her eye on you. She tried every way to get close to you, dressing up every day to catch your attention. And you fell for it." Maximus was amazed by her words.
Gracie angrily retorted, "Ashley, stop talking nonsense! I did not!"
Mr. Finnegan laughed heartily, "Great, tonight's atmosphere is perfect."
Then, he secretly signaled a few of his old buddies, deciding to get Maximus and Gracie drunk tonight.
Upon hearing this, Sebastian twitched his lips. Suddenly, his hand was grabbed. He turned to see a beaming Stephanie.
"Silver Fox, are you cold?"
"No."
"But your hand is so cold."

"Are you sure you're not cold?"
"Mhm, I asked Martin to bring two bs, two fish, some barbecue, a
your home cellar.
They
should be here soon."
"Wow, you're so thoughtful! Thank you! Tonight is full of surprises." She smiled, her eyes crinkling at the corners. "Are you happy?"

"Super happy; I haven't been this happy in a long time! Gillian and
Venet
Maddie are clinging to Dashielldike two fools, haha; Gillian is even blushing."
Sebastian looked over and couldn't help but chuckle, "Mhm...everyone seems happy."
"And are you happy?"
"I'm okay." Seeing Stephanie happy made him feel happy too.
"Then smile for me."
Sebastian slightly lifted the corners of his mouth, "I'm already smiling."
"How about a big laugh?"
"Forget it; I won't push you anymore!"
With that, she bounced off energetically.
Sebastian's gaze still followed her.
He seemed to have never
experienced this before - staying date at night, hanging out with a lively crowd instead of sleeping.
