Regret Came Too Late (Grace and Ethan) novel 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 a little unwell, so I'm going upstairs to get some rest. Call me when 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.

"I'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 came looking 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 me a 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 became slower and slower.

Tim took a 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.

"I 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."
