In the Lap of Luxury

Chapter 486 Special Period

Victor was about to call the family doctor, but Xander hurriedly took his phone and explained shortly.

"Every girl has that special period that they'll experience. Let's not ask too much."

Victor blinked. They had learned thoroughly about the bodies of males and females in biology class.Only then did he belatedly realize what Xander meant by "special period".

He breathed out deeply. "You almost scared me to death. I thought something had happened! You make sure to take care of your body more in the future, okay? Don't keep making us worry!"

Caleb cleared his throat to dispel the awkwardness. "As long as Gracie is okay, everything's fine!"

"But …" Caleb looked meaningfully at her and said, "Gracie, you still aren't fit enough. You need to train more."

"I know."

Caleb remembered something else and said, "I don't know who gave you the courage to sign up for the 800-meter race on sports day. You usually don't even exercise! You won't end up not even being able to run the whole thing, will you?"

Grace felt deeply offended by his words.

"Caleb, what do you mean by that? Who said that I won't be able to run the whole 800-meter course? Not only can I finish the course, I'll even win a prize to show you!"

"Really? I don't believe you. Gracie, if you can run the entire course, I'll buy all your snacks for the rest of the semester."

Grace's desire to win flared up at once. "You said it, Caleb. Don't regret it."

"Of course I won't regret it. But …"

Caleb's tone changed. "If you don't run the full course, you have to buy me a whole gaming set. I want the top specs."

Grace clenched her fist tightly. "Fine, it's a deal!"

When Victor saw this, he quickly tugged on Caleb's arm and said in a low voice, "That's enough with you! Grace has never liked exercising, and she's joining sports day just to participate."

Naturally, Caleb knew this too. "Victor, I'm doing this so she can become more fit and train more when she has time. Don't worry, I won't go overboard."

"Alright. Remember what you said!"

Caleb turned and said to Grace, "Don't worry, Victor. Even if Gracie loses, that game set doesn't cost much. Just one month of Gracie's pocket money at most."

Grace stamped her foot in anger, gritting her teeth. "I won't lose!" Còntens bel0ngs to Nô(v)elDr/a/ma.Org

"Fine, we'll see."

Since she had made a bet with Caleb, the moment her period was over, Grace arranged for a personal trainer to help her train.

But there was only a week left until sports day, so they were rather pressed for time. However, the short training still raised Grace's fitness considerably.

…

During sports day, Victor, Caleb, and Xander all sat in the stands. Victor couldn't help saying, "Not bad, man! I've never seen Gracie put in so much effort to exercise in my life.

"But the results won't be obvious with only a few short days of training. If Gracie loses, don't give her too much of a hard time."

"Don't worry! When the time comes, I'll pick a cheaper game set. I can compromise."

"You said it yourself."

Caleb didn't answer.

At that moment, Xander got up and left. Victor couldn't help but ask curiously, "Where are you going, Xander?"

Xander didn't look back as he said, "There's something I need to do."
