Regret Came Too Late (Grace and Ethan) novel Chapter 88

Grace hurriedly pulled the wheelchair back, crouched down, and placed her hands on Ethan's legs.

"Mr. Henderson, did I hurt you?" Grace looked up to check on Ethan, only to get lost in his dark eyes.

Ethan rested his hands on the armrests. He merely glanced at her before looking away with indifference.

Grace felt a jolt of unease, wondering what she did wrong.

She wanted to apologize, but Ethan had already opened the room door and wheeled himself out before she could.

Grace stood frozen for several seconds as she tried to process what she had just heard. Alice was pregnant? If she still had her memories, she would probably be crying herself silly right now.

She took a deep breath and walked after Ethan.

She had no clue which elevator she should take. As she stood, lost in her thoughts, she heard footsteps behind her.

"Grace?"

It was Yancey. He had finished his call, and when he saw her, he instinctively hid his phone behind his back.

Grace couldn't be bothered to even look at him and pressed the elevator button.

This time, Yancey wasn't as hostile as before. He slowly approached her. "Are you here for me?"

Staring at Grace's back, Yancey felt an unfamiliar sense of reluctance. But Alice was pregnant. He couldn't just abandon Alice. He raised his hand, hesitating as he almost placed it on her back.

Since the elevator was not there yet, Grace had no way of leaving.

After a long silence, Yancey took a deep breath. "It doesn't matter how much you try to hold on. It's already impossible between the two of us. After you get married to my uncle, remember to be obedient to him."

As he said that, he felt his voice stop for a moment. It was as if he had said something he shouldn't have.

If Grace had turned around at that moment, she would have seen the regret in his eyes. But to her, Yancey was just scum. It would not have made a difference even if she had seen it.

Hearing what Yancey said merely amused Grace. She was about to turn around to mock him, but the elevator opened at that moment, and Ethan was inside.

A strange sense of guilt surfaced in Grace's heart as she straightened her back.

Yancey didn't expect to see Ethan here. He lowered his head and called out respectfully, "Uncle Ethan."

Ethan rested his fingertips on the elevator button as he asked indifferently, "Aren't you coming in?"

It wasn't clear if he was addressing Yancey or Grace.

But Yancey definitely wasn't getting in. He even took a step back, but when he looked up, he noticed that Grace was already inside.

He had a look of complete shock. In his eyes, Ethan had only spared Grace back then because of him. Wasn't Grace afraid of being killed stepping into the same space with Ethan like that?

He hurried forward and said urgently, "Grace, you…"

It had been a very long time since he had last called out to her with such concern. Back when the two of them were close, it was a common occurrence. Even Yancey was stunned at his tone.
