Chapter 495 The One Who Stood Up

Her tone instantly made Xander anxious. He was filled with worry. "Gracie, what's wrong? What happened?"

As he spoke, he walked briskly toward the campus gate, abandoning his luggage on the way.

He rushed into campus but couldn't know where to go. Only then did he calm down and ask, "Gracie, tell me, where are you?""I'm in the dorm."

"Okay, wait for me there. I'll be right there."

Grace was puzzled. "What do you mean, Xander?"

Xander quickened his pace, but his mood was no longer as jubilant as when he had first arrived. There was only one thought inhis mind—Grace was upset.

"Come down. I'm downstairs at your dorm."

In disbelief, Grace lifted the blanket and ran to the window. She pulled the curtains back, letting the sunlight stream into her roomafter ages. It seemed particularly dazzling at this moment.

These days, she had been languishing in the dorm, so she looked lifeless.

She glanced casually at the flower bed below, and there she saw that familiar figure waving at her. Grace was overjoyed.“Xander, why did you come? Wait for me. I'll come down now."

She grabbed a coat, put on slippers, and happily descended the stairs. She rushed into his arms, feeling the long-lost warmth ofbeing with a loved one.

Her tone was full of joy. "Xander, why did you suddenly come here? You didn't even give me a heads-up."Xander didn't answer her, but his gaze stayed on her face, carefully examining her.

They hadn't seen each other for a while. She had obviously lost some weight and seemed a bit listless. Even her eyes lacked theusual brilliance.

Not only that, her eyes were slightly red-rimmed, as if she had cried not long ago.Xander embraced her and softly asked, "Why did you cry? What happened?"

With that question, a sense of grievance surged in Grace's heart. She thought of the days when she had been waiting alone atthe agreed-upon place.

Yet the person she had made the appointment with had never appeared again. She couldn't help pouting. "Xander, | was stoodup by someone.”

"What?"Grace lowered her eyes.

Although it might be a bit embarrassing to talk about this, in her eyes, Xander had always been like his big brother. So she hadno reservations and straightforwardly told him about her story with another man.

At this moment, he was like a bystander and could no longer participate in her life.

Xander parted his lips several times, wanting to say something. But he couldn't find the words."Something must have come up, don't you think?"

"| don't think so. Even if something came up, he should have informed me afterward. But it's as if he disappeared. | haven't seenhim since.

“More importantly, | don't even know his name, so | don't know where to find him."
