Regret Came Too Late

Chapter 167 Chapter 167 Grace was so absorbed in her thoughts that she unknowingly fell asleep. Meanwhile, downstairs , Yancey decided to stay for dinner, as the chefs were still preparing the meal in the kitchen. Carmen pulled Alice aside and asked if she was satisfied with the wedding dress she tried on today. Alice wasn't really in a great mood, and she could barely force out a response. "It's okay, Mom. I'm feeling alittle unwell, so I'm going upstairs to get srest.

Callwhen dinner is ready." "alright, go ahead. You look so pale." Alice got up and walked upstairs. After returning to her room, she began pacing back and forth. She couldn't stop thinking about how Yancey had treated Grace in the car just now, and her expression was twisted with anger. She couldn't wait any longer. She had to act immediately. She took out her phone and made a call. "['ll ask Liam to take Grace out tomorrow. I'll also arrange someone to kidnap her.

This time, I'll make the first move. If she's lucky enough to survive, then it'll be your turn next time. One of us is bound to succeed." 'The person on the other end didn't say much. They simply responded, "Okay." When dinner was served, one of the maids went to call Grace, but she didn't feel like eating and went back to sleeping. She was abruptly woken by a phone call. As soon as she answered the call, the first thing she heard was Paul's voice on the other end. "Hey, Grace.

Taylor's mother clooking for us. She seems completely out of her mind." Grace instantly woke up, sitting up with her eyes wide open. If Maria was truly deranged, how could she have found the hospital so quickly? "Mr. Brown, do mea favor and keep her there for now. I'll head over in two days to see her." Since Grace wasn't sure if Maria was really insane, she decided to leave Maria hanging for a few days. Maria might eventually lose her patience and reveal her true self.

Meanwhile, Ethan was typing on his computer elsewhere. He kept glancing out at the darkening sky as if waiting for someone. Tim knocked on the door and entered, placing a few sleeping pills beside Ethan. "Mr. Henderson, do you want to give these a try?" Ethan lowered his gaze, and his typing becslower and slower. Tim tooka deep breath and said, "I gave Ms. Lambert a phone call, but she didn't pick up.

I heard she went back to the Lambert residence with Yancey." Ethan didn't take the sleeping pills. He hadn't slept in two days, and dark circles could be seen under his eyes. ---- Ethan continued staring at the data on his screen before asking, "What do you think she'll choose this time?" 'Tim wasn't entirely sure what that meant. There were a lot of times when Ethan's phrasing confused him. "T don't know. Ms.

Lambert has always been very wilful." Ethan let out a short chuckle, but there was no warmth in his smile. "she's not wilful. She is just ruthless to people she doesn't care about." She was ruthless enough to simply make empty promises, then stabbed someone in the heart with a smile. She was ruthless enough to say she'd give something a try, only to turn around and forget about it completely. 'That was exactly how Grace was.

She toyed with him like how people would toy with a dog Ethan's fingertips pressed against the sleeping pills, and in an instant, the white pills were crushed and shattered into fragments on his palm. He raised his hand to rub his temples. Even though he was extremely exhausted, he still couldn't fall asleep. He got up and went to his bedroom, then directly lay down on the couch. Grace had lain down on this scouch a few times before, it still carried her scent.

While staring at the ceiling, Ethan recalled what she had said earlier that day. Maybe she had always noticed his feelings toward her but was simply not interested, so she didn't bother to expose ---- him What a brutally honest truth. Even without her past memories, Grace could still see through everything so clearly. Her scent on the couch was too faint. No matter how hard Ethan tried to capture it, the scent was barely there.

He turned over and pulled out a bath towel she had used before, draping it over himself. Only then did the aching pain in his chest start to ease off. Just then, his phone chimed. It was a specific notification sound. He immediately picked up his phone and glanced at the screen. It 'was a message from Grace. "Mr. Henderson, I just remembered something. Am I about to receive my termination letter soon? I'm pretty sure Jodie told you everything about what I did to her, right?" Grace felt very uneasy after sending the text message. Throwing the documents at Jodie's face today was already an act of mercy on Grace's part. Unfortunately, Ethan would always have Jodie's back. Ten minutes had passed, but he hadn't responded yet. Grace got up from her bed. She didn't want to leave Henderson Group just yet, but if Ethan really wanted to fire her, there was nothing she could do.

She waited for another ten minutes and sent a follow-up message. "Mr. Henderson?" ---- "yes?" Ethan responded almost instantly this time, ΟΠ but it was only one word. She really couldn't understand him most of the time. He wasn't much of a talker. "Are you currently resting? Am I disturbing you?" "Ts there anything else you want to say?" 'The two messages popped up almost at the stime. The second one was from Ethan, Grace felt heart sink. She felt like she was irritating Ethan.

It made sense-Ethan always had a soft spot for Jodie. Grase teok am deep breath and replied to his message, "No."
