BuzzNovelChapter 1123:
Gracie paced by her window, nerves raw and bracing for rejection. Lately, her own behavior hadn't been stellar;
she could admit that she’d pestered Ethan too often with demands he had every right to ignore. Even she knew
that her present request—crashing at his place for a few nights—pushed the boundaries. Chances were high that
Ethan was already asleep. If she asked Ethan to cpick her up, he would definitely refuse her.
She steeled herself for every outcome.
She believed he probably wouldn't answer at all.
So, when the call finally connected, a rush of hope and relief crashed over her. “Ethan!” Gracie exclaimed.
Elsa could not understand why Gracie would call so late and worried that something might have happened. “Miss
Wilson, is everything alright?”
When Gracie heard Elsa's voice, her heart sank. It was not Ethan who answered her call.
The disappointment was crushing.
The urge to hang up swept over her.
Words caught in her throat. “I... um, I...” She hesitated to tell Elsa her troubles.
But then, she remembered how gentle Elsa had always been to her—so much warmer than Ethan, if she was
being honest. Elsa had always made her feel welcome, and she often thought Elsa might help her get closer to
Ethan.
With that thought, Gracie changed her approach, her voice becoming emotional. “There are mice in my house!

Elsa's worry deepened as she heard Gracie’s trembling voice. “Now, now, don't cry. Are there really mice in your
house?”
Gracie’s cries grew louder. “Every night, those mice keep chewing on my blankets and furniture. They squeak
and scurry everywhere. | can’t stay here any longer. Elsa, please, could | stay at your place for a while? I'm so
afraid...”
“Stay at my place?” Hearing the request, Elsa was lost in thought. The idea seemed perfect. Brenna, with her
sharp tongue and icy manners, was all wrong for Ethan. She didn’t like Brenna at all.
She believed Gracie was better suited for her son.

“Of course, you can stay at my place. I'll go pick you up myself. Sendyour address,” said Elsa, reaching for
her car keys. “Ethan has had too much to drink and is in the shower, so he won't be able to get...”
A small smile played on Elsa’s lips. She knew Ethan would object if he found out about this, but once Gracie was
already here, he wouldn't have the heart to kick her out.
She ended the call, quickly changed her clothes, and slipped out the door.
When Ethan finished his shower, he didn’t notice anything out of place. He just grabbed his phone and went to
bed.
Within an hour, Elsa returned home, with Gracie trailing nervously behind.
