Chapter Eighty-nine

 Gracie entered the house completely and slowly close the door to avoid the banging sound.

She glanced around the contemporary, hi-tech setting. It was truly a beautiful house to behold, judging from the look of thing, but it didn't give her the warm, welcoming feeling she got from her own home. This place was kind of suffocating.

She was a coward.

She didn't even have the nerve to wait till Grandma Lily stepped out of her room. She ran off, hiding in the garden while she watched her come outside to check for security and Lolo continued to meow very loud in a suspicious manner.

Only if she was brave enough to walk out of the shrub, she would have stopped her from shutting the door.

But in her gutless state, she trekked back to the DEN's house.

Licking her chapped lips, she removed the wet beanie and placed it on the island.
