Regret Came Too Late (Grace and Ethan) novel Chapter 54

It was probably because Ethan was so composed that Grace, who had initially felt awkward, also calmed down at this moment.

Perhaps her figure wasn't anything special in his eyes since he wasn't interested in women. Thinking of it this way, she felt much more at ease.

The hot spring was too comfortable, and she didn't want to leave just yet, so she leaned back and let out a relaxed sigh.

Suddenly, footsteps were heard outside, and Tim's voice followed. "Mr. Henderson, we've found out that the people who pursued us in Southbrook were sent by Andrew."

Andrew Henderson? Wasn't he Yancey's father?

Grace was afraid that Tim would see her. After all, his impression of her was already very poor, so she instinctively sank down and submerged herself in the spring.

Tim had come to the edge of the spring and said respectfully, "Andrew, the fool left traces of his actions everywhere. Do we need to do something to retaliate?"

Grace was underwater and couldn't hear their conversation clearly, but she could see Tim standing by the spring through the refracted water surface.

She definitely couldn't surface at this moment. She was now in Ethan's bathrobe, and on top of that, she was in the same hot spring with Ethan. If Tim found out, he would probably end her with a gunshot.

He would certainly think that she had ulterior motives and was maliciously trying to seduce Ethan. She couldn't bear such an accusation.

Ethan's gaze shifted downward, and he could see a figure desperately trying to hide through the swirling water surface. But Tim couldn't see it from where he stood.

Ethan lowered his eyelashes and said, "There's no need."

If Andrew weren't so foolish, he wouldn't have married his mistress, Lily, and had Yancey.

Tim was about to leave when he heard Ethan ask, "Has the matter in Southbrook been settled?"

Tim was a little confused. Didn't they already settle it before coming here? There weren't many places worth developing in Southbrook, but there were hot springs and unique landscapes in Northbrook.

Moreover, there was a protruding platform next to the highest cliff here, offering a panoramic view of the mountains. That location was worth developing as well.

Although Tim felt doubtful, he still answered diligently, "Yes. There are only two scenic spots in Southbrook, but the government already sold the two spots to the local farmers several years ago. Now that the farmers know someone wants to develop the area, they're all raising the price and asking for ten million dollars."
